Speaker 1: So Sabrina, we always start our shows with this little
Speaker 1: chit chat at the beginning and just kind of asking
Speaker 1: random questions. But with this movie and with this franchise,
Speaker 1: I think we just have to jump right in. I
Speaker 1: think we've got to jump in two feet. There's no
Speaker 1: pre show. There's no need, there's no there's no need,
Speaker 1: there's no need. So I'm gonna start by saying, welcome
Speaker 1: back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want
Speaker 1: to grab your friends, your PJS, and your popcorn. Go
Speaker 1: back to time when all the houses are smart, the
Speaker 1: way tsunamis in the high school musicals. That out of
Speaker 1: the way. Okay, we got a special one this week.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna jump into it, and then and then
Speaker 1: we'll and then we'll get into the bigger picture, because
Speaker 1: we got a special one this week. We are tackling
Speaker 1: a franchise that helped define modern day Disney Channel. That
Speaker 1: is not high herbally, that is not overreach, that is
Speaker 1: absolutely the truth, and some could argue it affected pop
Speaker 1: culture as a whole. And we are talking two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine's Hannah Montana, the movie, a family musical extension
Speaker 1: of the hit TV show We're just gonna start with
Speaker 1: a very brief history of how we got to the movie. So,
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana the TV show ran for four seasons on
Speaker 1: the Channel two thousand and six to twenty eleven, and
Speaker 1: it's centered around Miley Stewart, played by a young Miley Cyrus,
Speaker 1: known at the time as a one hit wonder country star.
Speaker 1: Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter, and he also played her dad
Speaker 1: on the show. Her mom passed away in Hannah Montana,
Speaker 1: but of course, in real life, her mom is alive
Speaker 1: and well and even has a podcast now. Miley Stewart
Speaker 1: is a fourteen year old girl living at double life
Speaker 1: as a typical middle schooler. Then she graduates to high
Speaker 1: school starting in season two. The whole premise is she
Speaker 1: is anonymously experiencing a suburban existence, but also moonlighting as
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana, an internationally famous pop singer. The difference between
Speaker 1: the two wig a wig. That's it. That's the difference.
Speaker 1: Same face, longer blonde hair, Sabrina. How are we supposed to?
Speaker 1: I mean, are you? Are you okay with this? Is
Speaker 1: my question?
Speaker 2: Look, I got to be at the the the big
Speaker 2: you know, the big conference where they go and they
Speaker 2: do all of the new shows that are coming. I
Speaker 2: was there when they the upfronts, thank you. I was
Speaker 2: there when they exposed Hannah Montana like that what we
Speaker 2: were doing the Cheetah Girls right at that time. And yeah,
Speaker 2: of course you're going, I mean, it's a wig, right,
Speaker 2: it's a it's a wig. But when you watch the show,
Speaker 2: for some reason, at least for me, it works.
Speaker 1: Okay, it works.
Speaker 2: In the the age range of the demo that's going
Speaker 2: for it works will and it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't at all. No, No, I don't. No, I don't,
Speaker 1: nor will I. No, I don't. It's the same reason
Speaker 1: I don't like Superman is because you have to be
Speaker 1: an idiot to live in the world of Superman. You're
Speaker 1: a reporter. He's your best friend, but you put on
Speaker 1: a pair of glasses and you don't recognize him. You
Speaker 1: have to, you're literally a reporter. It's the same thing
Speaker 1: with her best friend. You're telling me that that that
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is your best friend, and she's sitting here
Speaker 1: across from you, but she has red hair. You don't
Speaker 1: know it's Taylor Swift. Miley Cyrus, the person with the
Speaker 1: most like her nose and her mouth are so distinct.
Speaker 3: Her voice is so distinct, so true, but even her
Speaker 3: best friend doesn't recognize her because because she goes from
Speaker 3: brown to blonde, and that's the whole change. Oh, it
Speaker 3: hurt my feelings and it made me feel bad for
Speaker 3: the up and coming generations.
Speaker 1: It did so okay. I mean, I know, I know
Speaker 1: for a fact that I'm supposed to watch these things
Speaker 1: as a kid. I get that I'm supposed to put
Speaker 1: myself in the mindset of the children. I totally children.
Speaker 1: I totally get that. I got a wonderful chuckle out
Speaker 1: of looking at my wife yesterday and saying, well, I'm
Speaker 1: a forty eight year old man, it's noon on a Thursday.
Speaker 1: I've got to go watch Hannah Montana. I get that
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous and it's crazy. I totally understand that I do.
Speaker 1: But come on, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I know. I get it as far as the disguise
Speaker 2: and you, especially in the worlds that you love to
Speaker 2: live in, with the magic and the rules, and I
Speaker 2: get it. It's it definitely breaks all of that. However,
Speaker 2: I think the main point of it is this idea
Speaker 2: of being a to have this second life that no
Speaker 2: one really knows about I get kids buy into. I
Speaker 2: don't think kids looked and went I don't think they
Speaker 2: didn't ask themselves, how does their best friends not know?
Speaker 2: How did? I don't think that that was not actual
Speaker 2: reality for viewers. I think what was more of a
Speaker 2: thing for them was this magical idea of having this
Speaker 2: second life that no one else knew. And not only
Speaker 2: is it a second life no one else knew, but
Speaker 2: you're a pop star like you are famous, all the claws,
Speaker 2: all the things. You're dancing and singing on its stage like.
Speaker 1: You couldn't you couldn't do a Lady Gaga thing. You
Speaker 1: couldn't do it? Was it? See it? Whatever? You can't
Speaker 1: do the thing where it's like half their face is covered.
Speaker 1: You can't wear a mask that I can't wear. Just
Speaker 1: can't do something that might have been.
Speaker 2: And it's weird that Disney didn't think of that before
Speaker 2: these artists, right, because usually Disney's ahead of the head
Speaker 2: of the head of the world. But I just, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 2: and listen, I think they banked on kids not carring
Speaker 2: and guess what they won because kids didn't care.
Speaker 1: I know that. Well, again, you have to be a kid.
Speaker 1: This is where I as I could not get into
Speaker 1: the mindset of a kid in this one. I could not.
Speaker 1: I did not buy the basic premise, and so since
Speaker 1: I did not buy the basic premise, everything afterwards, I like,
Speaker 1: I will buy the premise of the whole family is wizards.
Speaker 1: I'll buy that all day long. Right if you set
Speaker 1: it up that that you're hiding the fact that they're wizards,
Speaker 1: and oh my god, but if the whole thing is
Speaker 1: you've got to hide in plain sight, so your hair
Speaker 1: slightly changes color and now Noah, like, can you tell
Speaker 1: this is me? Can you? I'm not, but I don't
Speaker 1: have my headphones on. How do you know it's me?
Speaker 1: I'm jack.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is gonna be hurt anywhere it.
Speaker 1: Hurts me, Sabrina. Now that being said, some of the
Speaker 1: music was okay, okay, that's what I would say. It
Speaker 1: just not I. Again, I didn't buy the premise. I
Speaker 1: could not get into the mindset, and so because of that,
Speaker 1: that's my fault. I get it. I get that it's on.
Speaker 2: So we were told or it was, you know, a
Speaker 2: good suggestion for us to watch the first episode of
Speaker 2: the first.
Speaker 1: Season, which I did like Disney. All the acting was good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the synergy with them. It was
Speaker 1: a very grand movie. It was very pretty. I had
Speaker 1: no problem that the guest cast that they brought in phenomenal.
Speaker 1: They had great people. Holy hell, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: buy it.
Speaker 2: All the guest cast they have.
Speaker 1: I need to know great.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh my god, I want to go into
Speaker 2: the black hole of the internet to figure out what
Speaker 2: were all they got sidebar reasons that these celebrities joined
Speaker 2: this movie because this guest cast was unreal.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was great.
Speaker 2: It was and they kept popping up the entire movie
Speaker 2: and you're going, oh, oh my god. And then what,
Speaker 2: oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1: Now did you recognize did you know that that was
Speaker 1: Tyra Banks? Because she was wearing a different shirt than
Speaker 1: on her regular show, So were you able to tell
Speaker 1: that was her? Because that could throw you?
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 2: If you can tell you this podcast with.
Speaker 1: This man, that's all right. You can do it with Jack.
Speaker 1: Now we can get through it.
Speaker 2: Come on, Sabrina, all right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Here we go. All right. The show itself deals with
Speaker 1: all the normal personal issues a teenager would face, but
Speaker 1: throw in the fear that a secret pop star identity
Speaker 1: could be exposed at any moment, and you never know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen again. All this because she is wearing
Speaker 1: a wig now with the help of her family and
Speaker 1: best friends Lillian Oliver, who all know the secret after
Speaker 1: she had to tell them, not like they went, hey,
Speaker 1: that's you, You're just in a wig. She manages to
Speaker 1: balance the duality of a personalities while dealing with the
Speaker 1: theme of staying true to oneself.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: After the success of Say the Cheetah Girls and High
Speaker 1: School Musical, Disney wanted to keep the streak alive for
Speaker 1: pop music TV, and so this was a course of
Speaker 1: logical next step. And remember we even get a small
Speaker 1: pre superstart of Miley. Cyrus cameo at the end of
Speaker 1: High School Musical two We went back, She was dancing
Speaker 1: at the thing. Totally bought High school music. A whole
Speaker 1: bunch of people getting together for the summer and dancing
Speaker 1: and singing to songs that they had not any possible
Speaker 1: way they could all know and choreograph bought that more
Speaker 1: than this. The show debuted in March of two thousand
Speaker 1: and six and was a very quick hit in its time,
Speaker 1: with five point four million viewers, it was the most
Speaker 1: watched premiere episode in Disney history. Amazing, and this made Miley,
Speaker 1: of course an instant face for the brand. One episode
Speaker 1: Me and mister Jonas and mister Jonas and mister Jonas
Speaker 1: great title which I'll let you guess. The pop act
Speaker 1: that made a cameo had a whopping ten point seven
Speaker 1: million viewers. That is not just good for Disney Channel,
Speaker 1: that's good for anything, really impressive. So naturally, in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, the show spawned a concert film, Hannah
Speaker 1: Montana and Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds, where Miley
Speaker 1: performed as both herself and Hannah Montana. Wait, so Miley
Speaker 1: and Hannah are the same person. I couldn't tell because
Speaker 1: of the hair color. A duo that had at this
Speaker 1: point locked itself to the front of popular culture. So
Speaker 1: of course this was a big thing, and so the
Speaker 1: following year, in two thousand and eight, they released this movie,
Speaker 1: and then the show concluded in twenty eleven. So this
Speaker 1: film is of course at the height of Hannah Mania,
Speaker 1: or what I like to call Hannah Montana. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Tons of merchandise was released like jewelry, toys,
Speaker 1: soundtracks and yes the wig. Oh these parents must have
Speaker 1: woke it up and been like, where's my child and
Speaker 1: what is this blonde person doing in her bed? They
Speaker 1: were all sold its stores nationwide and she even sold
Speaker 1: out many a tour MSNBC. This is amazing. Estimated the
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana franchise was worth one billion dollars by the
Speaker 1: end of two thousand and eight. That's billion with a beefolks.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: The show was created by Michael Pores, who had already
Speaker 1: found success for Disney Channel with the show That's So Raven,
Speaker 1: which he also created. Talk about a one two punch
Speaker 1: for the Disney Channel. And here is some very good news.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to talk to him about how
Speaker 1: he did all of this stuff because he will be
Speaker 1: joining us. Yes, Michael will be joining us for our
Speaker 1: Park Copper episode this week, so please make sure to
Speaker 1: listen to that because he is a true Disney icon.
Speaker 6: God.
Speaker 1: Now I can't wait. Oh, I can't seriously, and I
Speaker 1: can tell you we are we are recording this before
Speaker 1: we record talking to him. I have a number of questions,
Speaker 1: most of them about the wig. I'm kidding you. I
Speaker 1: can't wait that way.
Speaker 2: For more than two seconds. Will I'm gonna drive over.
Speaker 1: Just make sure you don't change your hair color so
Speaker 1: I know who you are when you knock on my door. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's get into the movie, and I'm trying. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna put myself right into the movie and for
Speaker 1: get that none of this makes sense. So one big
Speaker 1: difference when compared to other dcoms, and it's more obvious
Speaker 1: than just the wig. It debuted on April tenth, two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, in theaters. Yes, that's right. It eventually
Speaker 1: ended up on the Channel in November of that year,
Speaker 1: but it started out at your local multiplex. Remember that, everybody,
Speaker 1: when we go to movie theaters. Not technically a dcom,
Speaker 1: I guess if you take that into consideration. But it's
Speaker 1: a spinoff of a Disney Channel TV show and was
Speaker 1: funded by Disney Pictures, so we're gonna let it slide.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Disney Pictures, the budget for the Hannah Montana
Speaker 1: movie was wait for it, thirty million dollars and a
Speaker 1: big reason why they had much higher hopes and theater
Speaker 1: dreams for this film. At the end. Ready for This,
Speaker 1: it grossed one hundred and fifty five million dollars worldwide. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, and that does not include
Speaker 1: the sixty one million it made to date from the
Speaker 1: DVD and Blu Ray sales. This was just a juggernaut.
Speaker 1: There were also, and this was one of my favorite
Speaker 1: favorite things ever, there were seven video games based on
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana, one even for this movie. It involved mini
Speaker 1: games like horse riding and bottle toss, and the Xbox
Speaker 1: version got a dismal twenty five out of one hundred
Speaker 1: score on Metacritic. Maybe they realized the wig wasn't enough.
Speaker 1: Filming of the movie took place between Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: where the Cyrus family lived, and took three months to film.
Speaker 1: Long time to do this movie. If you know anything
Speaker 1: about the Disney Channel at the time of this movie's release,
Speaker 1: you know they really really cared about soundtracks and this
Speaker 1: one did not let them down. The Hannah Montana Movie
Speaker 1: Soundtrack was a number one album in the US and
Speaker 1: went certified platinum. Wow. The songs all play a big
Speaker 1: part of the movie, with tons of tracks by both
Speaker 1: Miley and Hannah Montana, which again putting all the ridiculousness aside,
Speaker 1: it's seriously a brilliant move by Disney and the Channel
Speaker 1: because essentially you get two pop stars for the price
Speaker 1: of a nine dollars wig very impressive, and.
Speaker 2: It's an easy show to do. It's an easy show
Speaker 2: to do quickly. I mean it honestly is brilliant. I
Speaker 2: have just that like I mean, because it was there
Speaker 2: right in front of me watching them. You're just going, Holy.
Speaker 1: Cow, it's brilliant. It's a huge swing and a miss
Speaker 1: if no one buys it. But when everybody does, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you're a genius. And everyone did. Everyone did
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So yes, the songs all play a
Speaker 1: very big part in the movie, with tons of tracks,
Speaker 1: like I said, by both Miley and Hannah weaving in
Speaker 1: and out of their identities, but it also includes songs
Speaker 1: by her dad Rascal Flats. Okay, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure there's a comment in between there. I don't want
Speaker 1: people to think Miley Cyrus's dad is Rascal Flats, because
Speaker 1: that's a bunch of different people. By her dad, Comma
Speaker 1: and then Rascal Flats and two songs from Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: who also appeared in the movie. Did you remember that
Speaker 1: she was in the movie. Yes, oh you did.
Speaker 2: No, I mean when I watched it this time. Yes,
Speaker 2: I had not really seen the movie, I know. Okay,
Speaker 2: this was my first time actually seeing this movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, can I tell.
Speaker 2: You every when Rascal Flats came on, I went, oh my,
Speaker 2: because Rascal Flats at that time was giant. They were
Speaker 2: like a huge group bringing country music really into the mainstream.
Speaker 1: They were on the soundtrack for Cars too, for like
Speaker 1: this highway Life is a.
Speaker 2: Highway was a giant move, a giant song, the song
Speaker 2: Broken Road. I mean, it just was like and then
Speaker 2: te Swift comes on stage and you're I'm like going,
Speaker 2: holy cow. I mean I was good with Vanessa Williams
Speaker 2: was with her, and Tyra Bank's coming on. That was good,
Speaker 2: and then I just kept coming. Well.
Speaker 1: It showed how popular the show was where I'm sure
Speaker 1: your kids loved it or and this was just a juggernaut.
Speaker 1: It was me again, Superman most popular superhero of all time.
Speaker 1: That's so, I mean, it is I'm saying it is
Speaker 1: what it is. If you buy the premise, it's great.
Speaker 1: If you don't, then you just kind of sit there
Speaker 1: and going, I don't get it, and again, I'm watching
Speaker 1: as a forty eight year old man, so tough for
Speaker 1: me to get the premise, but I got where everybody
Speaker 1: was coming from. Anyway. The best known song from the
Speaker 1: movie is most likely The Climb, which was my Lea's
Speaker 1: lead single from the album, which also charted. Did you
Speaker 1: own the soundtrack? Was this something that you listened to
Speaker 1: quite a bit?
Speaker 2: No, I was in my mid twenties, right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what I figured. She when she was first coming out,
Speaker 2: she actually toured with us. She was an opening act,
Speaker 2: so I knew all her songs because when I was
Speaker 2: getting ready, I was hearing them every night for a while.
Speaker 2: So and I loved her songs. But when you know,
Speaker 2: this movie came out was a little bit after, and
Speaker 2: I didn't own the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: But I mean, was she nice to tour with?
Speaker 4: She was?
Speaker 2: She was so cute. She was awesome, and her family
Speaker 2: was all there, you know, it was it was really,
Speaker 2: it was awesome. It was like a family a family gig,
Speaker 2: you know, And it was really.
Speaker 1: That's not really her brother, is it. That's not?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no no no, I should look at the
Speaker 2: credits more closely.
Speaker 1: I was just I was so focused. She did.
Speaker 2: It caught me after because she did. She did have
Speaker 2: a little brother and he was on he was in
Speaker 2: on tour with us.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's cool though. Yeah, okay, So yes, the
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana Show and this movie were two of Disney
Speaker 1: Channel's most popular launch titles, so you best believe that
Speaker 1: they are still there. So you can go check out
Speaker 1: the movie now before you dive into the podcast, or
Speaker 1: you can watch it later, but make sure you wear
Speaker 1: a wig while you're doing it or everyone will find
Speaker 1: out your secret. All right, let's get into it. We've
Speaker 1: talked about it, your history of Hannah Montana. You hadn't
Speaker 1: seen the movie. Did you watch the show? No?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean honestly, I just I felt like I did.
Speaker 2: I honestly could have if you convinced me, probably easily.
Speaker 2: I could have been convinced, but because it was around
Speaker 2: me so much, but it was just not at that time,
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't watching the channel a lot, right, you know?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: But I knew the premise, I knew all the actors.
Speaker 2: That the person that caught me off guard the most,
Speaker 2: and I remember him saying this when we interviewed him
Speaker 2: Corbyn Blues showing up right on that first episode.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, friend of the podcast, corn it Is.
Speaker 2: And he talked about it in our interview, but I
Speaker 2: totally didn't realize it was honest, he was great.
Speaker 1: It did look like he was twenty when they were eleven,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he did look a lot old, which I
Speaker 1: don't think he was necessarily maybe a couple of years,
Speaker 1: but it shows you the difference between being like actually
Speaker 1: sixteen and being thirteen or whatever they were. It's a
Speaker 1: big difference at that age. He did just look like
Speaker 1: he was three grades ahead of them. But anyway he.
Speaker 2: Looked he looked beefy because all of them were so
Speaker 2: little inscribed.
Speaker 1: Ye beef he did. He did from growing up dancing
Speaker 1: your whole life to good XU guy. Okay, so obviously
Speaker 1: I won't even get into what I knew about Hannah Montana.
Speaker 1: I knew what everybody knew. You knew it was a juggernaut.
Speaker 1: You knew that it was in the Zeitgeis. It's like
Speaker 1: high school musical. It was. It was ubiquitous in that
Speaker 1: everyone had heard of it, but I had never seen
Speaker 1: it or knew anything. But I knew it was Miley Cyrus. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I think I knew that Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana
Speaker 1: were two characters, like she played both characters. I think
Speaker 1: I knew that. But other than that, nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just were really thrown off that.
Speaker 1: Well again, I wig I was thirty when it started
Speaker 1: or something like that.
Speaker 2: So and yeah, really, honestly, it was definitely later on.
Speaker 1: And in all fairness, had I watched this, especially the pilot,
Speaker 1: when I was ten or eleven, I would have definitely said,
Speaker 1: it's just a wig. How does nobody see? So anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get into the synopsis. Miley Stuart return. By the way,
Speaker 1: I think other people auditioned for this part. I imagine
Speaker 1: the character was not named Miley as they were starting,
Speaker 1: but we'll get into that down the line. So Miley
Speaker 1: Stewart returns to her hometown of Tennessee to reconnect with
Speaker 1: her roots. After her double life as pop star Hannah
Speaker 1: Montana spirals out of control. Through self discovery and love,
Speaker 1: she must decide whether to embrace her true identity or
Speaker 1: succumb to the allure of celebrity. Okay, early thoughts, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: how much did you love it?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: I did watch the pilot me too, right, I'm getting
Speaker 2: lunch ready, I'm getting the pilot going, so you know,
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not having to really really watch it.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get a little bit more reference
Speaker 2: Monroe's home will I damn did it to myself? I
Speaker 2: want to watch now five episodes of the first season.
Speaker 2: Monroe was hooked.
Speaker 1: Like that, okay, hooked like.
Speaker 2: That now she is four okay, and she loved every aspect.
Speaker 2: It was just enough dance and just enough song. The
Speaker 2: characters are big, they're comical, they're throwing themselves. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of you know what I mean, Like all of it.
Speaker 2: Monroe was hooked. I wanted to watch just the pilot
Speaker 2: and then be able to after lunch, sit down and
Speaker 2: get what I had to get done. And that was
Speaker 2: not in my future. So I had to wait to
Speaker 2: do the movie. And honestly, I think because I don't know. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was like I was in
Speaker 2: the right mindset. I don't know if it's because I'm
Speaker 2: the pilot, was watching it, watching my little one fall
Speaker 2: in love with her. I was in from the start.
Speaker 2: I had to go, oh, I gotta I gotta do
Speaker 2: seas let's rewind it, because I was just in from
Speaker 2: the start. I really was. It was a movie that
Speaker 2: I felt like I literally could just kick back, put
Speaker 2: my feet up, and just watch as it was supposed
Speaker 2: to be seen. So I loved it and and it it.
Speaker 2: There was only maybe a few moments that I dropped
Speaker 2: out a little bit. They were towards the end, but
Speaker 2: I finished off strong and loved it. Okay, and I
Speaker 2: that's what I said. I'm like, I'm ready. I remember
Speaker 2: saying I am ready for the whole down showdown, mister,
Speaker 2: because there is no way he is going to be
Speaker 2: on the level I have been watching this movie. We're
Speaker 2: going to fight until the end when I'm ready. I didn't.
Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, the pilot, it's obviously a tough
Speaker 1: watch for me again as an older man.
Speaker 2: That it is Disney Disney young, y young.
Speaker 1: Great Disney Channel show. It is good Disney Channel actors,
Speaker 1: good young, a lot of physical comedy. They're all good.
Speaker 1: Like I said, the kids are great. You got the
Speaker 1: dad being there, the good dad making sandwiches. No, you
Speaker 1: can't have money, and I get it all worked as
Speaker 1: a pilot as a Disney Channel totally understand that the
Speaker 1: movie better than the pilot. Even I thought, oh, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: The cast really knows what they're doing. You get the
Speaker 1: little love story, I get all of it. I was
Speaker 1: fine with all that. Malaura Harden. I'm a big Malaura
Speaker 1: Harden fan. I always have been. She's great. The cameos
Speaker 1: were fantastic, some of the music was good. But if
Speaker 1: you don't buy the premise, yeah, then the rest of
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. And there was a lot of this
Speaker 1: movie where it was like wait, even premise aside like
Speaker 1: wait what wait huh yeah, so, yes, it was. It was.
Speaker 1: I wish I had seen it young and I could
Speaker 1: buy the premise because then I think it's something that
Speaker 1: I would maybe have enjoyed a lot more than I did.
Speaker 1: But the idea that you change your hair and no
Speaker 1: one in the world gets who you are always throws me. Again.
Speaker 1: It's the Clark Kent thing, and I've had people So
Speaker 1: I had a really interesting conversation with one of my
Speaker 1: gay friends who said to me that Superman was his
Speaker 1: favorite character growing up, specifically because of Clark Kent, because
Speaker 1: he said as a kid, he always felt like he
Speaker 1: was hiding in plain sight because before he came out.
Speaker 1: He was just hiding the whole time, and he said,
Speaker 1: the idea of being able to put on a pair
Speaker 1: of glasses and get through my day was hugely important
Speaker 1: to me, and that's why Superman was important to me.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to remember stuff like that as
Speaker 1: I was watching the movie, because again I have that
Speaker 1: fantasy literary mind of I need the rules to make sense,
Speaker 1: I need them to work. I need to buy the premise.
Speaker 1: So when I buy the premise, then I'm in. But
Speaker 1: then I tried to remember the things like my friend
Speaker 1: told me. I was like, okay, man, let it go
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: But yes, And I think that's so true in the
Speaker 2: and this story is a coming of age story, yep.
Speaker 2: And I think that right there is so true, like
Speaker 2: trying to find that person and the courage to be
Speaker 2: that person instead of under this whether it's whether it
Speaker 2: is makeup and close that you know, whatever it is,
Speaker 2: that is truly what that that whole preface is. And
Speaker 2: I think so many people can relate to that, and
Speaker 2: especially with young kids that are trying to find themselves
Speaker 2: and whatever it is, whatever obstacle they're going through, you know.
Speaker 2: And I just think that's why they bought. And when
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I was there. I watched it happen.
Speaker 2: I was at the concerts. There was like, it's just
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: Well, you saw with your daughter, you saw it yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, I saw it happen. I mean she just
Speaker 2: her eyes were just big the whole time. She was
Speaker 2: dancing when the music was going, she was cracking up
Speaker 2: with the physical comedy. And she loved it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Now I get it, I get it, I understand.
Speaker 2: But it is a young, young, young, young audience.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, it was. It has to be. It has
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: It's not to me this this wasn't, especially watching the
Speaker 2: the pilot, and I love to see the movie after
Speaker 2: because within that time you saw the growth, right, not
Speaker 2: just within the kids getting older, but you saw the
Speaker 2: growth of the entire brand. And but when it started off,
Speaker 2: it had to have been like a young I feel
Speaker 2: like younger than that's so raven, Like it was like
Speaker 2: a younger.
Speaker 1: And they had to grow up with it. Now I guess, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so okay, Hannah Montana. The movie is directed by Peter Chelseam,
Speaker 1: who had directed some well known theatrical movies like Town
Speaker 1: and Country with Warren Baty and Diane Keaton, Saren Dippitty
Speaker 1: which is a great rom com with John Cusseck and
Speaker 1: Kate Beckinsale, and Shall We Dance with Richard Gear. He
Speaker 1: is still working a ton too. He wrote and directed
Speaker 1: last year's Festive, A Sudden Case of Christmas, starring Danny DeVito,
Speaker 1: Andy McDowell and Wilmer Valderrama. Big Shaker Here the movie
Speaker 1: stars Miley Cyrus. Hannah Montana was a role she originally
Speaker 1: did not get because she was considered too young, even
Speaker 1: first getting rejected for the role of BFF Lily, But
Speaker 1: after months of searching, they couldn't find anyone better and
Speaker 1: will they came crawling back some others who reported the
Speaker 1: audition for the role, Taylor Momson, Daniella Monet, and singer Jojo.
Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus has since, of course, become one of the
Speaker 1: premier names in all of music and a legit pop icon,
Speaker 1: while shedding and sometimes even openly battling her Disney roots.
Speaker 1: She has two Grammys and a total of nine nominations,
Speaker 1: with two Billboard Hot one hundred number ones, Wrecking Ball
Speaker 1: and her biggest song yet, Flowers from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: It's safe to say that the entire pop music genre
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five has been influenced by Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 1: She's a juggernaut now. Infamously a fifteen year old Miley
Speaker 1: Cyrus pose for legendary photographer Annie Leibowitz and Vanity Fair,
Speaker 1: wearing only a white sheet and red lipstick, creating a
Speaker 1: massive problem for Disney pr Though she wasn't technically nude,
Speaker 1: it was suggestive enough, and religious groups and parents were
Speaker 1: up in arms. Miley ended up fulfilling a final season
Speaker 1: four based on some Walmart existing contracts. Then she bounced
Speaker 1: from the channel, and as we said earlier, Billy Ray Cyrus,
Speaker 1: her real life dad, is the creatively named Robbie Ray,
Speaker 1: her father on the show and in the movie, he
Speaker 1: plays a widow taking care of his pop star daughter,
Speaker 1: while in real life he's a country musician, best known
Speaker 1: for the song Achy Breaky Heart and a recent appearance
Speaker 1: on Little Naz Ex Old Town Road Remix. He also
Speaker 1: appeared in David Lynch's Maulholland Drive and Sharknado two. The
Speaker 1: second one that's really the title. I've never seen it,
Speaker 1: but god, that sounds amazing. Emily Osmitt is best friend
Speaker 1: Lily Truscott. She is best known as Gerdi Giggles and
Speaker 1: Spy Kids two and three and Mandy on Young Sheldon,
Speaker 1: but she also became a little pop star as well
Speaker 1: on Disney with the album Fight or Flight in twenty ten,
Speaker 1: and she is the sister of Haley Joe Osmitt and
Speaker 1: He Sees Dead People. Jason Earls is Jackson. Earls is
Speaker 1: a frequent Disney collaborator, with appearances on Phil of the Future,
Speaker 1: Just Roll with It, high school musical, the series, and
Speaker 1: starred on the show Kicking It. He also has another
Speaker 1: dcom under his belt that we are yet to tackle,
Speaker 1: Dad Napped, and I'm sure we will get there. Another
Speaker 1: familiar face, one of our favorites, Mitchell Musso from Life
Speaker 1: is Rough and of course also from Hatching Pete. He
Speaker 1: plays Oliver and was also a Disney pop star, releasing
Speaker 1: music of his own through their channel Plus. He is
Speaker 1: the voice of Jeremy Johnson on Phineas and Ferb and
Speaker 1: We Love this Dude and that of course a young
Speaker 1: Natalia Dyer as Clarissa. This was her first job ever.
Speaker 1: She has since gone on to play Nancy Wheeler on
Speaker 1: the Global Phenomenon stranger things, and here we get this
Speaker 1: is where we keep just getting crazier and crazier. We've
Speaker 1: now got Vanessa Williams's publicist, Vita Vanessa Williams was the
Speaker 1: first black woman to ever win the title of Miss
Speaker 1: Universe in nineteen eighty four, but would later resign the
Speaker 1: title after her nude photographs ran in Penthouse thirty two
Speaker 1: years later. Williams was offered a publick apology rightfully so
Speaker 1: during the twenty sixteen Miss America pageant for the events,
Speaker 1: but don't worry, she ended up getting the last laugh.
Speaker 1: She became a very successful singer, with multiple Grammy nominations,
Speaker 1: and she'd win a Tony Award for her role in
Speaker 1: two thousand and two's revival of Into the Woods. But
Speaker 1: you probably know her best as Villemina Slater on Ugly Betty,
Speaker 1: a role she received three Emmy nominations for. It was
Speaker 1: so great to see her in this. I love her.
Speaker 1: She was also in one of my favorite really kind
Speaker 1: of bad Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Eraser Great. Now we've got
Speaker 1: to mention some other very familiar faces. That's why we
Speaker 1: don't have a Coleman Reynolds chair. This week because there'd
Speaker 1: be too many people sitting in it. We've got Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: Margot Martindale, Barry Bostwick, Tyra Banks, and Brooks Shields, all
Speaker 1: amazingly fun to see. Again. We mentioned Malaura Harden, who
Speaker 1: I love. I mean it is just one kind of
Speaker 1: famous face after.
Speaker 2: Their famous unreal yeah, unreel.
Speaker 1: The movie is one hundred and five men, which is tragic.
Speaker 1: We can officially announce that this movie is say it with.
Speaker 2: Me too long?
Speaker 1: Yes, it is way off target. What were they thinking? Well,
Speaker 1: let's blame the writer, Dan Berenson. We're not gonna blame him.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just too long. But he is a
Speaker 1: decom legend who we've mentioned so many times before on
Speaker 1: Magical rewind Get Ready for this I love this list.
Speaker 1: He's got Stuck in the Suburbs, Halloween Town, High, Eddie's
Speaker 1: Million Dollar Cookoff, The Cutting Edge, Going for Gold, Camp
Speaker 1: Rock two, The Wizards of Waverley Place Movie, Teen Beach two,
Speaker 1: and Cheetah Girls One World, all on his impressive resume,
Speaker 1: just one banger after another. In this case, though, he
Speaker 1: shared credit with the Hannah Montana EPs, including our guest
Speaker 1: this week, Michael poris for the characters and the story idea.
Speaker 1: All right, don't walk away, Let's take the stage and
Speaker 1: get crazy. It's time to dive into the hand of
Speaker 1: Montana movie, because what's not to like. We open on
Speaker 1: busloads of screaming girls running to the Great Western Forum
Speaker 1: for the Hannah Montana concert and impressive shot of lots
Speaker 1: of actual Miley Cyrus fans used here as extras packing
Speaker 1: into the show. Inside the arena, the crowd is screaming
Speaker 1: for Hannah and her father, Robbie Ray aka Billy Ray Cyrus,
Speaker 1: is backstage. He is staring at a mannequin's head wearing
Speaker 1: a long blonde wig. Robbie Ray is definitely stressed. Outside
Speaker 1: two young girls, Miley Stewart and a best friend, Lily,
Speaker 1: are trying to get their will call tickets but are
Speaker 1: being pushed by rabid fans. They are denied and Lily
Speaker 1: can't believe Miley is shutout of her own concert, and
Speaker 1: that's when they notice an unarmed security golf cart. We
Speaker 1: cut to a security guard chasing them in the gulf
Speaker 1: cart backstage and Miley can't stop it. They eventually come
Speaker 1: to a screeching halt right in front of Robbie Ray,
Speaker 1: he says they're with him, and he rushes them into
Speaker 1: the wig room, and just like that we get the
Speaker 1: sparkling title treatment for Hannah Montana the movie. What are
Speaker 1: you thinking already with this semi car chase to start
Speaker 1: the the film?
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't understand why they needed to go to
Speaker 2: will call. Why didn't she have her badge? I didn't
Speaker 2: understand that at first time. Wait what they didn't explain
Speaker 2: it how she was like locked out and didn't have
Speaker 2: what she needed to get into it. So that was
Speaker 2: a little did I miss something? Do I need to
Speaker 2: rewind this already? But for me because there were sometimes
Speaker 2: those unarmed or unmanned carts, yeah, in the arenas, and
Speaker 2: they were it was that.
Speaker 1: Do you ever steal a car? Did you ever steal
Speaker 1: a cart? Did you ever steal a cart? Come on beyond?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, yes, But it was just I mean that
Speaker 2: whole life of living in an arena while you're on
Speaker 2: tour is like you, first of all, you have to
Speaker 2: find your fun because it is Groundhog's Day pretty much
Speaker 2: in a different arena. And now the walls aren't blue,
Speaker 2: their red, the green, you know whatever. But it was
Speaker 2: fun and it was cool for me. I instantly got
Speaker 2: into the zone because I had been in arenas with Miley,
Speaker 2: so it.
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, this is cool.
Speaker 2: I did love the running through the face with her
Speaker 2: or poster with their face, you know. So it was
Speaker 2: it was. It definitely brought a lot of energy right
Speaker 2: from the start, which I agree obviously what you needed,
Speaker 2: you would think. I thought it was going to start
Speaker 2: right away like the credits do in the movie of
Speaker 2: a concert, and it wasn't her on stage right away.
Speaker 2: It was something before she got this to stage. So
Speaker 2: I did like that energy. And then of course I'm
Speaker 2: in my head, I'm going, you know, think about the
Speaker 2: fans at this point of the Miley craze. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that got to be in that rabbit we're filming for
Speaker 2: her movie coming up. What a great moment that those
Speaker 2: fans will carry with them for the rest of their lives,
Speaker 2: you know. So that was pretty cool too.
Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent it was. It was a
Speaker 1: very energetic way to start the movie. And speaking at
Speaker 1: the start of the movie, the credits are rolling and
Speaker 1: we see Miley getting ready transforming into the pop star
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana. Eventually, Miley places the magical wig on her
Speaker 1: head and the transformation is complete. Literally all she does.
Speaker 1: Hannah takes her place on the stage, and before she
Speaker 1: is lifted onto the stage from this cool little mechanical
Speaker 1: thing underneath, her dad reminds her it's her night to
Speaker 1: do the dishes. She complains, but he tells her quote
Speaker 1: she's the one that wanted the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1: And then the song Best of Both Worlds kicks in.
Speaker 1: We jump right into the first big Hannah Montana number,
Speaker 1: complete with seventeen thousand real life fans brought in for
Speaker 1: the audience, which is a rare feat for any movie,
Speaker 1: let alone a Disney one. We also get a glimpse
Speaker 1: into the song's music video, with Hannah on the beach
Speaker 1: surrounded by a group of teen beach movie dancers. The
Speaker 1: director yells cut and that is a rap. Hannah is
Speaker 1: suddenly whisked off the beach, avoiding the paparazzi and back
Speaker 1: into her dressing room, where she's startled by a dorky
Speaker 1: english Man hiding behind her clothes rack, which gave really
Speaker 1: creepy vibes right off the start.
Speaker 2: Reap creep creep yep.
Speaker 1: He promises little girls, he would meet her for them,
Speaker 1: and Hannah is rightfully of course taken back. He's got
Speaker 1: questions for them. But just as Oswald is about to
Speaker 1: ask question number one, publicist Vita runs into him. She
Speaker 1: sees right through his charade. He's the editor of Britain's
Speaker 1: most sleazy tabloid bon Chic. He wants to do a
Speaker 1: cover feature story on her, but Vida knows it'll just
Speaker 1: be a trash takedown. She escorts him out, but we
Speaker 1: see he sneakily left a digital camera on the couch,
Speaker 1: still recording. Uh oh, now alone. Vida reminds her don't
Speaker 1: talk to anyone without her. It's her job to make
Speaker 1: sure her little secret stays a secret, and then Vida
Speaker 1: sits down on the camera. Hannah then leaves the ten
Speaker 1: hounded by press, giving Oswald the second chance to slide
Speaker 1: in and recover his camera again. Creepy ceperson, What a slimeball.
Speaker 1: Oswald then gets a call from his very impatient editor
Speaker 1: played by Jane Carr, also from Boy Meets World. She
Speaker 1: played a fun part. She wants to know how the
Speaker 1: juicy Hannah Montana cover story is going, and now he
Speaker 1: knows there's a quote unquote secret so he's gonna stay
Speaker 1: on it until he can find out what that secret is.
Speaker 1: We cut to Miley's other life, a high schooler in
Speaker 1: jim class, where she is quickly pelted with a volleyball
Speaker 1: and basically left four dead. It's a far cry from
Speaker 1: the luxurious video shoot we just saw. Just then, Vida
Speaker 1: pops up and pulls her out of school. Turns out
Speaker 1: Beyond has got double pneumonia yikes, and had to drop
Speaker 1: all the New York Music Awards. Hannah has been asked
Speaker 1: to replace her. Now, her publicist shows up in the
Speaker 1: middle of high school and starts yelling that their's stuff
Speaker 1: going on she needs to be there for. I get
Speaker 1: it's an empty hallway, but this doesn't seem like it's
Speaker 1: very a tightly kept secret at all. Why would the
Speaker 1: publicist even be on campus at all? Why not just
Speaker 1: have her dad go pick her up, like it's a
Speaker 1: dentist appointment or something. We never I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on. It doesn't make any sense. Vida is rushing
Speaker 1: to get Hannah ready to go to New York, but
Speaker 1: then Lily catches them on their way out. She asked
Speaker 1: about her birthday party, and Miley again yells back to
Speaker 1: anyone that could hear in any of the things minor
Speaker 1: Hannah emergency then promises she will make it to the party,
Speaker 1: but of course nobody knows because she's a brunette. Now
Speaker 1: with Vida and Hannah on rodeo drive getting free designer
Speaker 1: stuff to wear, Robbie Ray is outside the school pacing
Speaker 1: in front of his truck. Miley's older brother, Jackson, is
Speaker 1: going to miss his plane to college if she doesn't
Speaker 1: hurry up. Robbie Ray has no idea where his daughter is.
Speaker 1: So it just turned this publicist just showed up at
Speaker 1: school and just yanked he out of school, which doesn't
Speaker 1: seem right. And I thought this was going to lead
Speaker 1: to something where it's like, we don't need this publicist
Speaker 1: in our life. She was going to be the bad guy,
Speaker 1: the publicist, like she was leading Miley down the wrong.
Speaker 2: Path, and it goes that way for a while.
Speaker 1: You thought that's where it was kind of headed, and
Speaker 1: then they this is one of the problems I started.
Speaker 2: I mean that you knew the shady reporter was like
Speaker 2: going to be the main one, but I feel like,
Speaker 2: was she going to end up working with him type
Speaker 2: of thing?
Speaker 1: Right there?
Speaker 2: Was a number of like it was going.
Speaker 1: There's a number of storylines that went one way and
Speaker 1: then either ended abruptly with no end to it whatsoever,
Speaker 1: or went off in a direction that was not expected. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now we see Hannah in a store. She's surrounded
Speaker 1: by sunglasses and bracelets and watches, all of these being
Speaker 1: offered to her for free. But then she notices how
Speaker 1: late she is and the eleven miss calls from her brother.
Speaker 1: She's got to go, but then she sees one last
Speaker 1: shoes she needs to get Lily for her birthday present,
Speaker 1: and as she goes to grab the second shoe, uh oh,
Speaker 1: Tyra Banks playing herself, says they're hers, and she steals
Speaker 1: the second one right now from under her. Did you
Speaker 1: think Tyra Bank's playing herself was cool? Yes?
Speaker 2: I mean, I find her so funny when she commits
Speaker 2: two characters, and she was great. To me, I thought
Speaker 2: she did a great job.
Speaker 1: I did too, I thought she was very very good.
Speaker 2: Really, it went on for too long, it did. I
Speaker 2: thought the scene was too long, honestly, but it was
Speaker 2: fun to see all of the comedy that they did
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 1: I agree. Tyra pulls the quote, do you know who
Speaker 1: I am unquote thing and Hannah parrots it back. Each
Speaker 1: are holding one of the shoes. When they get into
Speaker 1: a tense wrestling match, Tyra throws Hannah over a couch.
Speaker 1: Hannah jumps on Tyra's back. It's total chaos. Shoes are flying,
Speaker 1: Miley fully suffocates Tyra with a bag. Staff is running
Speaker 1: for their lives. In nearby, we see tabloid rider Oswald
Speaker 1: the Slimeball, snapping photos. Now without the shoes, Hannah is
Speaker 1: rushed out side by Vita into a waiting limousine to
Speaker 1: get to Lily's party, but Oswald is still close behind,
Speaker 1: following for a scoop. This means she can't get out
Speaker 1: of the car as Hannah for the party or get
Speaker 1: out of the car as Miley because of Oswald. This
Speaker 1: is where the dilemma starts. She can't even pull off
Speaker 1: her wig. We see Lily's party, which is a I
Speaker 1: would say a half a million to million dollar party
Speaker 1: at the Cintamnica pear.
Speaker 2: What is the occupation of parents? Parents created the color
Speaker 2: an entire ramp? What is the what are those called
Speaker 2: the the ones that are on both sides that that's cute?
Speaker 1: Oh, a half pipe? I have, and the half pipe
Speaker 1: was added to the Santa Monica peer for her. She
Speaker 1: had the entire peer as well.
Speaker 2: It was oh my god, Sanda and a full blown
Speaker 2: stage with the full blown sound system. Holy hell, this
Speaker 2: is the craziest sweet sixteen I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Here you go. It's a five hundred thousand dollars party,
Speaker 1: every bit of it. It was crazy, just not so.
Speaker 1: We see Mitchell Musso as Oliver, and we meet Rico Suave,
Speaker 1: a reoccurring character from the show played by Moyes's Arius.
Speaker 1: He is a really eccentric schemer and is putting the
Speaker 1: final touches on a fireworks ready massive birthday cake. Hannah
Speaker 1: jumps out of a limo and rushes to the party, trying
Speaker 1: to ditch Oswald, but her arrival causes massesteria on the pier,
Speaker 1: even having to call Lily her number one fan, just
Speaker 1: to cover the fact that she's there. Lily is rightfully furious,
Speaker 1: especially when Hannah is carried like Rudy at the end
Speaker 1: of the Notre Dame game straight to the stage to
Speaker 1: play a song with the band. Lily is again furious.
Speaker 1: No one even cares that it's her party. A defeated,
Speaker 1: Lily finally walks out and is approached by Oswald for
Speaker 1: any type of Hannah scoop he can get. She casually
Speaker 1: mentions Miley's real hometown and Oswald finally has a lead.
Speaker 1: She says it in passing, probably because she was just
Speaker 1: crushed again by her best friend. Then Rico lights the
Speaker 1: cake and bam, it explodes all over everyone, even Vanessa Williams.
Speaker 1: Later that day, Robbie race the front page of the
Speaker 1: paper with the photo of Tyra Banks shoe fight, and
Speaker 1: he has had enough. He tells his daughter and Vita
Speaker 1: that New York isn't happening. She's going to Tennessee with
Speaker 1: the family for her grandma's birthday, and that is it
Speaker 1: good parenting. You're right, I love that you're a big superstar,
Speaker 1: but this is not gonna happen. This again goes back
Speaker 1: to me saying one bad thing to my brother's One
Speaker 1: time when I was on boy Mes World, I think
Speaker 1: I was seventeen. I was in front of my girlfriend
Speaker 1: and they picked me up and they duck my head
Speaker 1: in the toilet and they gave me a swirly that
Speaker 1: stuff ain't gonna fly in our house, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna fly in Miley Cyrus's house either.
Speaker 2: Wait that happened to you for real?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I was seventeen. I did from both my
Speaker 1: brothers because I said something that came off as egotisticals
Speaker 1: I was on Boy Met World and they were like, uhuh,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna that's not gonna work. Oh right in
Speaker 1: the toilet with the flush, Uh, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think I was in front of my girlfriend, JENNEVINOI
Speaker 1: at the time, from Blossom, and they were like, no,
Speaker 1: this is not that's that's not not gonna work. And
Speaker 1: never happened again. Always good to have two big older brothers. Yes,
Speaker 1: so he was, so he wasn't buying it. She's gonna
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee with the family to visit her grandmother's birthday,
Speaker 1: and that is just it. Vida explains. They can't miss
Speaker 1: New York, but a private jet can make both happen.
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray gives in and next thing you know, we're
Speaker 1: on a jet. Did you think this was too fast
Speaker 1: for him to give in? Were you kind of figuring
Speaker 1: something was gonna go on at this point or no?
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't either I honestly, I mean because
Speaker 2: I just you know, I think probably because we're in
Speaker 2: the business and it's like, you're contractually buying to do this,
Speaker 2: so we've got to do it. We'll figure out whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was more him like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you make the choice of what you want to do.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go to your grandmother's? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: go take a jet to thing? That's where I thought
Speaker 1: he was going with it, Like I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be more of a learning lesson. But no, we
Speaker 1: were all given a twist. Miley is now dressed his
Speaker 1: hand on and you could tell her dad is getting
Speaker 1: sick of her diva ways, so that when she deplanes,
Speaker 1: she is surprised to realize she's not in New York.
Speaker 1: She is in a Tennessee cowfield, and her brother's there
Speaker 1: to pick her up in a beat up pickup truck.
Speaker 1: How did Robbie Ray pull this off? I think he
Speaker 1: paid off the pilot, or he booked it behind her back,
Speaker 1: or he forcibly hijacked the plane. It's one of those things.
Speaker 1: But Miley is of course furious. She's supposed to be
Speaker 1: on a red carpet in New York. Her dad says
Speaker 1: she has lost her focus and a bite the time
Speaker 1: to retire Hannah Montana forever. Oohoo. Miley says he can't
Speaker 1: take Hannah from her, but he says, oh, yes, I
Speaker 1: definitely can. Miley forces him to stop the truck. She's
Speaker 1: gonna walk to New York if he has to. Robbie
Speaker 1: Ray proposes a deal. They're gonna see how these two
Speaker 1: weeks in Tennessee go and see if the country girl
Speaker 1: still exists in there. She can go back. It's a
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana detox. And just as she's ready to argue
Speaker 1: some more, a horse eats the wig right off her head.
Speaker 1: And it's not just any horse, it's her old horse,
Speaker 1: Blue Jeans. They just randomly stopped right in front of
Speaker 1: her old horse when she forced her brother to pull over.
Speaker 1: What luck that is? Now she has a moment with
Speaker 1: her old pal, packs away her wig and tries to
Speaker 1: ride Blue Jeans, but she's quickly bucked off, and her
Speaker 1: old country roots seem a little bit dusty, especially when
Speaker 1: Blue Jeans gets loose and all of a sudden boom,
Speaker 1: a mysterious and yes, dare I say, incredibly sexy young
Speaker 1: cowboy has to go retrieve blue jeans for her. It
Speaker 1: is Travis Brodie from the first grade. He has all
Speaker 1: grown up working for her grandmother and hunky as hell.
Speaker 1: My god, let's be honest, people, Come on, he's a
Speaker 1: honky cowboy who happens that perfect hair and teeth.
Speaker 2: I will say from all of the like romantic.
Speaker 1: I thought about you the second he popped on screen.
Speaker 2: He is definitely the most like rustic, more of like
Speaker 2: a like a manly looking kid versus the perfect the
Speaker 2: perfect nose and the team, you know, the jaw line
Speaker 2: and all that. He definitely looks a lot more like
Speaker 2: what you would think a cowboy would look like.
Speaker 1: Right when he stopped and smiled and had the hat
Speaker 1: on and caught the horse, I was like, we found
Speaker 1: Sabrina's guy. Finally got this is the one Sabrina's gonna
Speaker 1: be like. This is the guy I now, finally I
Speaker 1: don't mind the shirt off, I don't mind that, I
Speaker 1: don't mind that. Finally found and it's Travis Brody. Travis
Speaker 1: sitting in a tree.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no, no, yes.
Speaker 1: So it turns out that he had a crush on
Speaker 1: Miley back in the day, but jokes he's over it now.
Speaker 1: She rides back to the house on his horse like
Speaker 1: you do, and they briefly chat about Hollywood and celebrities.
Speaker 1: She says she knows Hannah Montana, avoiding the fact that
Speaker 1: she looks just like her, but luckily she has brown hair.
Speaker 2: So okay, we gotta pause, pause, because this is when
Speaker 2: I went, wait a minute, Okay, So this town that
Speaker 2: she grew up with, now we've set this. Now we've
Speaker 2: set this, this whole plot line that she grew up
Speaker 2: with these kids, she was in first grade with this guy,
Speaker 2: uh huh, and they didn't catch the wig part. Like
Speaker 2: That's when I went, wait a minute, okay, that I
Speaker 2: thought this whole town would have known her story and
Speaker 2: they don't. And that's when I.
Speaker 1: Was like, that's what. Yes.
Speaker 2: I got kind of went into the no because I
Speaker 2: felt like her La life was La life like she
Speaker 2: was already living this like life in La home home people.
Speaker 2: So then I'm going, wait, does her And then it
Speaker 2: gets worse as we see family. You can tell family
Speaker 2: members don't even know only a few of them, and
Speaker 2: you're going, now, now you're losing me a little bit.
Speaker 1: Then I thought.
Speaker 2: The whole storyline in my head of the LA people
Speaker 2: and why because that kind of was my life. I
Speaker 2: was here in George County doing playing, soccer, dancing, doing
Speaker 2: all of that, and then I'd have my you know,
Speaker 2: the commercials that I would do and whatever, and I
Speaker 2: kind of had a different group of friends, not saying
Speaker 2: I had a wig or anything like that, you know,
Speaker 2: trying to be a different but it was a different light, right,
Speaker 2: So they knew me as an industry person, and I
Speaker 2: could relate to them in different ways than I could
Speaker 2: relate to the kids that I was I was up with.
Speaker 1: Connecticut and California were.
Speaker 2: The kids that I was growing up with really new
Speaker 2: certain things, not my not my on screen personality, you know,
Speaker 2: that I'd put into my work. This is this is
Speaker 2: when they lost me. Well for just even I'm not
Speaker 2: going to give you a lot, but this is a
Speaker 2: tidy but.
Speaker 1: When I went he doesn't know you looked into Travis
Speaker 1: Brodie's eyes and you you gave, you forgave the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You know. Listen, you actual husband, not guy, stands up
Speaker 2: to this. This this man that I actually got some marry.
Speaker 1: You know, on somebody and it's a TV crush it's
Speaker 1: not the same.
Speaker 2: As I know, but I'm just saying like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I've not ever seen one yet. He was more of
Speaker 2: a manly or look, or the rustic kind of look,
Speaker 2: but still not yet. Okay, well, I'll let you know
Speaker 2: when I go. Okay, wow, Jordan and I'll talk about this.
Speaker 1: It's fine. So she eventually gets to her grandmother's house,
Speaker 1: where a jug band is performing. Her Grandma's excited to
Speaker 1: see her. Miley did bring an Elvis commemorative plate for
Speaker 1: her grandma's collection, which of course is very nice. She
Speaker 1: also meets her cousin Derek, who's a weirdo holding a ferret.
Speaker 1: She is not in Hollywood anymore, toto. Grandma also points
Speaker 1: out a new girl to Robbie Ray Laura la It's
Speaker 1: a little matchmaking move that's going on here, and he
Speaker 1: decides to approach Laurali picking up dirty dinner plates as
Speaker 1: an excuse, and then they have what is certainly the
Speaker 1: horniest conversation in dcom history. Let's check out a little
Speaker 1: clip fit right here.
Speaker 5: You got anything for me?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Am you sure you can handle it?
Speaker 2: You'd be amazed when I could handle.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, snap, he'd be amazed what I can handle? Wow,
Speaker 1: And in the process of trying to be smooth, he
Speaker 1: then has a great comedy bit where he knocks over
Speaker 1: Grandma's china shelf and all of her beloved commemorative plates
Speaker 1: go flying, breaking one hundreds of pieces. He thinks he
Speaker 1: saves the Elvis one at the very end and lings
Speaker 1: it up, goes hey Elvis is still alive and smash
Speaker 1: breaks it in by accident on the fan bummer. It
Speaker 1: doesn't stop the party though. Later that night, everyone is
Speaker 1: still singing downstairs and it's actually Rascal Flats playing their
Speaker 1: song from the soundtrack, which was a ton of fun.
Speaker 1: Miley is upstairs looking at a picture of her deceased mom.
Speaker 1: Who is Brooke Shields? Just a photo of brook Shields.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my gosh, I mean, I just I'm going
Speaker 2: At this point, after Rascal Flats doing an acoustic version,
Speaker 2: which is one of my favorite songs, then they have
Speaker 2: a picture of brook Shields, I'm like, who else is
Speaker 2: going to come? Don't worry, guys, it gets better.
Speaker 1: But it's also the only time we ever see her.
Speaker 1: We don't ever see her again, and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: Brookshields even though she was in this movie. Oh apparently,
Speaker 1: according to producer Lisa, she was the mom in the
Speaker 1: TV show too in a flashback episode. Okay, oh okay,
Speaker 1: So people were expecting Brookshields, Okay, got it.
Speaker 2: I was not. I was thrown and I loved it.
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. Me too. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: but thank you producer Lisa. By the way, all of
Speaker 1: the producers so far, I'm sure sending me hate mail.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have hate emails from everything going on for
Speaker 1: how much I'm bashing the wig thing because I know
Speaker 1: that this is a very important movie in the seitgeist
Speaker 1: of magical rewind producers. But anyway, the next morning, Miley
Speaker 1: wakes up with a plan, Operation Hannah Montana. She enthusiastically
Speaker 1: sprints downstairs and overalls and pigtails. The full Southern accent
Speaker 1: is back. She's going to go ten to the chickens
Speaker 1: and this Shock's Robbie Ray and Grandma. But the excitement
Speaker 1: quickly disappears when she's attacked by hungry chickens and covered
Speaker 1: in yoke. I still don't understand what the plan was.
Speaker 1: What was the plan.
Speaker 2: For her? She was just trying to get into like
Speaker 2: the mourning chores that you do on a farm when
Speaker 2: you see.
Speaker 1: I don't want to what she was doing. I think
Speaker 1: she was trying to do something to prove something to them,
Speaker 1: which did like this was like, here's my plan, but
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what the plan was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the chores that she was doing are mourning chores
Speaker 2: that you would do on the farm. But I feel
Speaker 2: like she was doing that to be like, oh, you
Speaker 2: want me to be country, here we go. And she
Speaker 2: was doing like an over the top situation. But it
Speaker 2: backfired on her.
Speaker 1: Because Okay, get maybe that's what Okay, that's what I
Speaker 1: took it as. Okay, fair enough. Once done, Grandma takes
Speaker 1: Miley to the farmer's market I love a good farmer's
Speaker 1: market and asks Robbie Ray to stay at home and
Speaker 1: help the foreman. And guess who the foreman is. It's
Speaker 1: Laura l She lives on the ground and works with
Speaker 1: the grandma just like Travis. How convenient both their love
Speaker 1: interests are actually employed. Love it. On their way to
Speaker 1: the farmer's market, Miley's grandmother tells her that developers are
Speaker 1: threatened to buy the town and replace it with a mall.
Speaker 1: He is tiresly trying to raise money to stop it.
Speaker 1: Miley's actually excited about the prospect. She wants to know
Speaker 1: if there's going to be at Bloomingdale's. This leads to
Speaker 1: an ultimatum from her grandmother. Either live the country life
Speaker 1: and be thankful, or just go back to Hollywood because
Speaker 1: being in the middle isn't enjoyable for anyone. She gets
Speaker 1: a little smack down there in the middle of the
Speaker 1: street from Grandma. I me too. Miley apologizes, but then
Speaker 1: notices Oswald. No Oswald, he's snooping around and thanks to
Speaker 1: Lily snitches trying to find Hannah Montana at the market.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's true. Snitches get up, Snitches get ditches Lily.
Speaker 1: But when Oswald samples too spicy of salsa and Miley
Speaker 1: releases hundreds of walnuts into the street, absolutely destroying what
Speaker 1: some farmer has spent months and months working on, Oswald
Speaker 1: falls on his butt and destroys the entire model of
Speaker 1: what the new town is going to be. Now keep
Speaker 1: this in mind, because that town and that guy are
Speaker 1: going to really have not that much left to do
Speaker 1: with the story, and they're really not going to have
Speaker 1: anything else to do, and.
Speaker 2: They have a good ninety five seconds left. That's yes
Speaker 2: show to show everything he's got exactly.
Speaker 1: Oswald notices Miley and asks her, hey, do you know
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana? And this again has put a Cark Kent
Speaker 1: Forsu superman vibe in action. The newspaper editor is probably
Speaker 1: based on Piers Morgan. Back at the farm, Hannah is
Speaker 1: playing guitar and writing a new song in the barn
Speaker 1: when Travis walks in. He said she always wanted to
Speaker 1: be a singer and brushes off the new song as
Speaker 1: just good. Hannah presses him, why don't you think it's great?
Speaker 1: He says it just doesn't have any substance. It didn't
Speaker 1: tell him anything about her. He also announces that he's
Speaker 1: starting an egg business. They jump on their horses and
Speaker 1: we get a montage. Miley and Travis have a nice
Speaker 1: day at the nearby waterfall. Robbie Ray and Laura Lei
Speaker 1: are also getting closer, and Jackson is playing with an
Speaker 1: Ostrich And I'm not kidding when I say that. Miley
Speaker 1: and Travis then build an entire chicken coop in twenty seconds.
Speaker 1: I also have a question about the chicken coop. Okay,
Speaker 1: He's going to start an egg business, correct, right, that's
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Who doesn't love farm fresh eggs
Speaker 1: eggs recently, I know, ridiculous. I love so great idea.
Speaker 1: But is he selling Hannah Montana or Miley's grandmother's eggs.
Speaker 1: He doesn't own those eggs. No, so he's selling someone
Speaker 1: else's product. Are they going to split the money or
Speaker 1: is he just keeping all the cash from all the
Speaker 1: Grandma would.
Speaker 2: Get into the specifics of their business deal, and I
Speaker 2: like that. That was Yeah, it was a good question
Speaker 2: to ask. But I think the grandma, what she seems
Speaker 2: like is she's a little nosy and she's kind of
Speaker 2: in everyone's business. And she's seeing this kid giving him
Speaker 2: a job and pushing him to start a business on
Speaker 2: his own, and this is her way that she's going
Speaker 2: to help fund it for.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. When I was seventeen, I should
Speaker 1: have just started selling all my grandparents to make money, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? I needed a job? So I
Speaker 1: sold everything in your garage. I found this very strange.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I'm sorry, he said. Grandma said, if he
Speaker 1: fixes the chicken coop, then he can sell the eggs. No,
Speaker 1: I get it, But he's selling her eggs. It's like,
Speaker 1: if you fix my garage, you can sell the car inside.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, and truly, what you end up doing
Speaker 2: is you also the eggs that become chickens. You raise
Speaker 2: them so that they can So maybe you know there's
Speaker 2: ways that, Yeah, there's ways to business model.
Speaker 1: What's gonna be amazing when we do the sequel when
Speaker 1: we find out that eggs is just code word for
Speaker 1: drugs and he's got like a meth lab in that
Speaker 1: little little thing they're making. Yeah, just wait, why does.
Speaker 2: She always have to go so dark?
Speaker 1: Well that's a great question. Why do the sequels always
Speaker 1: have to go so dark? We're definitely going to figure
Speaker 1: that out. I want to find out when we get
Speaker 1: to the second.
Speaker 2: The second in the first one reels here's the reality.
Speaker 1: Guys awful anyway exactly. So this is also where we
Speaker 1: learn of an upcoming event, a music festival to save
Speaker 1: the town. We quickly find ourselves at the small music
Speaker 1: venue with Billy Ray Cyrus aka Robbie Ray performing. It
Speaker 1: is much better than his recent train wreck at the
Speaker 1: Liberty Ball in Washington, d C. And Laura Lai loves it,
Speaker 1: so that is very cool. And then the one and
Speaker 1: only Taylor Swift takes the stage and performs the song,
Speaker 1: just steps up and it's like, oh wow, and now
Speaker 1: there's Taylor Swift. And let it be known that although
Speaker 1: Taylor looks young here, she was very much already on
Speaker 1: her meteoric rise, releasing Fearless and touring. And it would
Speaker 1: be the very next year that Kanye would interrupt her
Speaker 1: at the VMA's. So this was right at the beginning,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, but what would be the biggest
Speaker 1: pop music career in history. So I think she did
Speaker 1: this not only for the synergy, because I know she
Speaker 1: loved Disney Channel, but I think she was just a fan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: She was a Boy Meets World fan too. I mean
Speaker 1: I know that she loved Disney stuff. I'm guessing she
Speaker 1: was a Cheetah Girls fan. I mean, like, she loved
Speaker 1: Disney stuff. So you get to be on Hannah Montana
Speaker 1: in the movie. I bet you she jumped at the
Speaker 1: chance to do.
Speaker 2: Of course, absolutely.
Speaker 1: And so now while Taylor sings Travis and Miley's Slow Dance,
Speaker 1: and once Taylor is done, Travis convinces Miley to take
Speaker 1: the stage for open mic, and even though she says no,
Speaker 1: he pushes her onto the stage. She meagerly says she's
Speaker 1: bringing some hip hop to this hoe down, and that
Speaker 1: leads the audience in a boom boom clap to start
Speaker 1: her new song, which is just as much hip hop
Speaker 1: as it is death metal. So here is a small
Speaker 1: clip of that song, pop It, knock.
Speaker 4: It, Poka, don it cut your fabin and.
Speaker 2: Side to side jump to the net, stick it.
Speaker 1: Oh god?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Can we agree it's the worst song in the movie.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not Will I'm not agreeing with you. It's so
Speaker 2: freaking way I thought this part was okay. First of all,
Speaker 2: I agree with you in the sense that I don't
Speaker 2: hear any sense of hip hop in this.
Speaker 1: She says, hip hop doesn't.
Speaker 2: I know, it's more poppy. But this part to me
Speaker 2: was again Disney beans super smart. Now we gotta dance.
Speaker 2: Now we got a dance that's easy to learn, and
Speaker 2: now we got an anthem. Now we got now we
Speaker 2: got can make it better? Climb is the actual anthem
Speaker 2: of it. But this this song, they don't. That's the thing, though,
Speaker 2: Will this demo that was following. Hannah didn't need any
Speaker 2: more than this. They didn't ask ask everyone. They do
Speaker 2: not need any more than this. This was enough to
Speaker 2: give them a dance to learn, a dance to throw
Speaker 2: on at the next slumber party where they all do
Speaker 2: it together. Okay, this is the same as like in
Speaker 2: syncs bye bye bye.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, not the same ang.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, but it's the same idea. Is something that
Speaker 2: they can learn and mimic. This is probably one of
Speaker 2: the best songs in the best like major crash songs
Speaker 2: at there at her touring shows when she did it
Speaker 2: the hodown slide all that I can't even imagine how
Speaker 2: kids went bonkers.
Speaker 1: Well, all the producers of course agree with you.
Speaker 2: Yes, they just said, forget the Cha cha slide. How
Speaker 2: dumb is that song? But it's the easiest thing it
Speaker 2: comes on. Yeah, sure I know it. I don't know
Speaker 2: a lick a dancing, but I definitely can do that. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: This was so freaking smart. I didn't know what they were.
Speaker 1: We've had producer Lisa said, where I used to work,
Speaker 1: Disney gave us the tutorial to upload and it was
Speaker 1: our number one video for years with millions of views.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this, This was so smart for Disney
Speaker 2: to do, because again it's I'm not gonna say it's
Speaker 2: a great song. I'm just gonna say it's the smartest
Speaker 2: song I get. It's so smart. And it was like
Speaker 2: when I was watching it because I didn't know what
Speaker 2: they were talking right in our text thread leading up
Speaker 2: to this, I had no idea what they were talking about.
Speaker 2: I had no idea, and I'm like, I can't wait
Speaker 2: for this. When it came on, I was like, Disney
Speaker 2: does it again. I'm telling you I was ready for
Speaker 2: a holdout shout down with you, mister will I.
Speaker 4: We're gonna hate this.
Speaker 1: And I like, it's a bad song. It's a bad song.
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. We are gonna write
Speaker 1: the Magical rewind Dance song. You're gonna come up with
Speaker 1: the dance and we're gonna it's like and then rewind
Speaker 1: it and slide it and to the left. You're gonna
Speaker 1: come up with that and we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: You have never sound more smart in your own.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna do it. We're doing the Magical rewind Dance.
Speaker 2: It is really sinking in. It is watch and We're
Speaker 2: gonna get Paul Owen to come back. He's gonna I
Speaker 2: love the music video.
Speaker 1: I love it. Who's gonna who's gonna choreograph?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it?
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Probably we gotta pull in some like Let's ask the
Speaker 2: one that come that is on Zombies. Let's ask that choreographer. Well,
Speaker 2: we're also gonna Chucky clay Bow, it's got to be
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 1: We're also gonna be getting all of our friends of
Speaker 1: the podcast back to do the dance with us. Casey
Speaker 1: stro Everybody's gonna come back and do the Magical Rewind
Speaker 1: dance with us. So that so we better. You better
Speaker 1: start thinking, because if Hodown Showdown's gonna make it, then
Speaker 1: so will Magical Rewind. That's what I'm telling you, do
Speaker 1: the Rewind? How can you not? Anyway?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it much.
Speaker 1: Like all of our producers. The crowd of course goes nuts.
Speaker 1: They love it until the evil real estate agent developer
Speaker 1: shows up. This angers Grandma. He's the man threatening to
Speaker 1: exterminate her town. He arrogantly ridicules the fundraiser and says
Speaker 1: there's no amount of money that can stop him, and
Speaker 1: then Travis grabs the Mic and blurts out, Miley knows
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana Travis. I know, dude Travis, well how but
Speaker 1: he doesn't know. I mean Hannah Montana's three thousand miles
Speaker 1: away and blonde Sabrina come on, so Travis. Travis suggests
Speaker 1: a concert to help the city, and this jerk sure
Speaker 1: is pompous. Thanks a lot, dude. Miley is now completely
Speaker 1: pressured and says she will give Hannah a Calloo boo boop,
Speaker 1: Hi Me, Robbie Ray and family. They obviously look concerned
Speaker 1: but have no fear Hannah is here, or at least
Speaker 1: you know who the town thinks is Hannah. A limo
Speaker 1: arrives with Lily wearing the wig inside and waving out
Speaker 1: the window. Oswald's so happy to see this. His story
Speaker 1: can finally happen. And here's where I was like liter
Speaker 1: That was Bath Lily, but also Lily Lily and Miley.
Speaker 1: She hated her.
Speaker 2: There was no resolution, There was no resolution, no call,
Speaker 2: no nothing. She literally said, you can never would she
Speaker 2: say I'll make it up to you or something or
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have one quaked.
Speaker 2: She's Tennessee, my god, I ruined my five hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars sixteenth birthday.
Speaker 1: Yes, sold our house just to have this birthday party.
Speaker 2: But then sure, I'll show up to Tennessee and she just.
Speaker 1: Shows up, so yeah, it was it was weird that
Speaker 1: there was no okay anyway, Vita has also made the
Speaker 1: trip with Lily, and she and Miley hug. They don't
Speaker 1: talk about any of their problems, of course, because Lily
Speaker 1: announced that her loose lips were the one that got
Speaker 1: Oswald to come to Tennessee in the first place, so
Speaker 1: she kind of blames herself. But anyway, Yeah, but before
Speaker 1: Miley can even take that in, Laura I knocks in
Speaker 1: the door. She wants to talk to Hannah and Miley.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, problems. So Lily gets back in the wig and
Speaker 1: hides her face with a towel, pretending she needs a
Speaker 1: foot massage. In bed, Laura I announces that the mayor
Speaker 1: wants to throw Hannah a big bash for her tonight,
Speaker 1: and since Lily can't speak for her, she takes her
Speaker 1: silence as a yes. This creates a problem, especially since
Speaker 1: Laura I will be the one in charge of the
Speaker 1: welcoming event. Lily then spots Travis and is impressed. Oh
Speaker 1: of course, because as Sabrina the same thing. Sabrina saw
Speaker 1: him and was like, what, I'll take me into the
Speaker 1: slice of that cowboy. Miley thinks he may just want
Speaker 1: to be friends, but she should try to win him over.
Speaker 1: She brings out the real Hannah because she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: he's met Miley, but he's never met Hannah. So Hannah
Speaker 1: has to come say hi. But Travis, because he's a
Speaker 1: real guy, is not impressed by the superstar or the wig.
Speaker 1: He just likes regular old Miley and he wants to
Speaker 1: ask her out right now, so Hannah has to rush
Speaker 1: to the coop and change back into Miley. She makes
Speaker 1: it just in time to play it cool while painting horribly.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed, but she got red
Speaker 1: all over.
Speaker 2: It's not even a hard job. The panels are quite wide.
Speaker 1: She had the green on the red, and it was
Speaker 1: like color in the lines, Miley, slash Hannah, color in
Speaker 1: the lines, Miley. It's true, man. But she rushes there
Speaker 1: and she makes it just in time, plays it cool,
Speaker 1: nonchalantly saying yes to being asked out by him. But
Speaker 1: wait a minute, she can't go on this date. Hannah
Speaker 1: is supposed to be going to Lauralei's big mayor party.
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray leaves it up to Miley to pick, and
Speaker 1: in the end she stands up Travis to meet the mayor.
Speaker 1: Laura I does notice Miley isn't there at the event,
Speaker 1: so she starts putting two and two together. The mayor
Speaker 1: praises Hannah for her charitable action because she does go
Speaker 1: and cousin Derek has lost his ferret. Oh I hate that.
Speaker 1: Hannah abruptly dismisses herself and quickly changes into Miley so
Speaker 1: she can save her date. She's gonna do that thing
Speaker 1: where someone is in a movie or TV show and
Speaker 1: has to do things at the same time, so they
Speaker 1: keep running back and forth between them. So she gets
Speaker 1: into the restaurant apologizes for being late, but Travis has
Speaker 1: brought her some flowers. He notices immediately something that all
Speaker 1: guys notice on a date. She's only wearing one earring.
Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't notice that? No one. She brushes
Speaker 1: it off as a trendy LA thing. He avoids small
Speaker 1: talk and goes right for the juggular. He wants her
Speaker 1: to know before she returns to La how he feels
Speaker 1: about her, and right as he's about to spill the beans.
Speaker 1: Miley's phone rings. She sprints out of the date and
Speaker 1: back in with the mayor, now with massive lobsters on
Speaker 1: everybody's plate, but the wheels are really starting to fall off.
Speaker 1: The ferret gets loose and Miley runs back to Travis,
Speaker 1: still with her lobster bib on. I hope everybody's keeping up.
Speaker 1: This is starting to get very messy and everyone's starting
Speaker 1: to get suspence, even Travis. Eventually, Robbie Ray says enough
Speaker 1: is enough, forcing Hannah to stay for the flombay, the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Flombay, which frankly sounds very very good. The mayor
Speaker 1: begins with the speech and midway through is bitten by
Speaker 1: the ferret. The melee ends up with the table catching fire,
Speaker 1: two customers wigs being switched. Seems to be a lot
Speaker 1: going on with this movie in wigs and everything fails
Speaker 1: in front of Robbie Ray, Laurali and the Mayor. Hannah
Speaker 1: runs out of the building holding her Miley stuff, and
Speaker 1: an example of just terrible timing, runs into a young
Speaker 1: fan just as she's taking off the wig again. This
Speaker 1: seems like this is not so top secret. Everything is
Speaker 1: just so careless and then the young girl sees the transition,
Speaker 1: and so does Travis. What worst case scenario? Wait, it
Speaker 1: was a wig. Miley runs after him. She just wants
Speaker 1: to explain, but he can't believe she's been lying this
Speaker 1: entire time. He says they are over and he leaves.
Speaker 1: A distraught Miley runs back to her dad, who saw everything.
Speaker 1: Lauraai pops up, mad that Hannah ruined her big night.
Speaker 1: When Robbie Ray stands up for the pop star, Laura
Speaker 1: Lai then knows something's up. She can't be dating someone lying,
Speaker 1: but instead of telling the truth, he breaks up with her.
Speaker 1: This is terrible. We all just miss the lobster times.
Speaker 1: Miley cries as a group of fans outside begin to
Speaker 1: chant her name. It's now raining, of course, cause rain,
Speaker 1: and both Miley and Travis are sad. In gazebos, Miley
Speaker 1: is comfortably writing music when her dad walks up. He
Speaker 1: also seems pretty sad. Miley says the new song that
Speaker 1: she's written is about her and her dad, and she
Speaker 1: starts to acoustically play Butterfly Fly Away, and she says, Dad,
Speaker 1: sing with me, and he does. He sings the song
Speaker 1: she just wrote and has never heard but knows all
Speaker 1: the lyrics.
Speaker 2: To attention shoppers, and she in fact had willed up
Speaker 2: to this point. We have now lost him.
Speaker 4: Out of the Billow.
Speaker 1: Do you know the song? She says, Can I hear it?
Speaker 1: And she says sure, and she starts playing the songs
Speaker 1: and they start singing together. How do you know the song?
Speaker 2: Okay? Well, he would know the lyrics because this was
Speaker 2: a book that he had read to her the attack,
Speaker 2: the grandma says it, so he would get that lyrics.
Speaker 1: I get that, And right now all the producers are
Speaker 1: furiously typing, I'm sure to put something on our chain.
Speaker 1: But he.
Speaker 2: Would not know the melody though.
Speaker 1: No, it's no, he'd be chasing if he was.
Speaker 2: You know, when they should do what they should do
Speaker 2: with things like this is when she sings and he repeats.
Speaker 5: Here he do that?
Speaker 2: He comes in the second verse, Yes, yeah, How.
Speaker 1: Hard is that?
Speaker 2: He started with?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, I loved this song.
Speaker 1: It's a great song. It's the best song in the movie,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's the best song in the movie.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm back watching this on the couch, absolutely falling
Speaker 2: asleep by this time. But that's okay. She's at least
Speaker 2: there still, and it's like you're you know the moments
Speaker 2: of you tucking in and you know those moments of going.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful song.
Speaker 2: It is such a good song.
Speaker 1: I don't have car and it's a beautiful song. I
Speaker 1: song the best song of the movie. I just hated
Speaker 1: the fact that he somehow knew it.
Speaker 2: I right, well, he still had him.
Speaker 1: We have lost you might have lost Will, but Jack's
Speaker 1: still here here. Okay. So anyway, that night, of course,
Speaker 1: Miley can't sleep, and then first thing in the morning, Lily,
Speaker 1: still in her robe, goes to the now finished chicken coop,
Speaker 1: magically painted and decorated like clown pants. But Miley fell
Speaker 1: asleep while painting it, so Lily wakes her and make
Speaker 1: sure she's on time for the big Hannah Montana benefit
Speaker 1: concert she needs to help save her town. We get
Speaker 1: to the huge fairgrounds and so many people and donations
Speaker 1: are rolling in. Again, a ton of extras. You just
Speaker 1: saw the scope of this film. Uh, they really used
Speaker 1: every penny well because it looked beautiful. There's a ton
Speaker 1: of people around, really great, a lot of production value.
Speaker 1: It's even got a ferris wheel. Elly's grandma makes her
Speaker 1: way to Hannah's bus, shocked by how crazy things are.
Speaker 1: She is proud of her granddaughter for the concert and
Speaker 1: hands over one of Miley's dead mom's necklaces. Travis's his
Speaker 1: new ugliest sin chicken coop for the first time. Frast
Speaker 1: Miley did it all, even though I'd be offended. She
Speaker 1: thinks that's his taste. He hops on his horse and
Speaker 1: gallops away on a mission. Nothing can stop him. At
Speaker 1: the concert, Hannah is already performing her first song, Rockstar,
Speaker 1: when she spots Travis and the crowd. Wow, fast horse
Speaker 1: as Tennessee. I would have loved if he pulled up
Speaker 1: and jumped off his horse and someone handed him a
Speaker 1: valet ticket. That would have been the best. And then
Speaker 1: they parked the horse. Oh, it would have been worth it,
Speaker 1: just for their one comedy bet. She also sees her
Speaker 1: dad and her grandmother and her brother and Lily. Everybody's
Speaker 1: in the crowd, Laura Eliah's being sad by herself on
Speaker 1: the other side of the fairgrounds. This is an awful
Speaker 1: lot to take in. And then Hannah has stopped dead
Speaker 1: in her tracks. She's starting to have a panic attack.
Speaker 1: She says, I can't do this into the mic and
Speaker 1: the audience goes silent. She just can't be Hannah anymore,
Speaker 1: at least not in her own hometown. She admits this
Speaker 1: is where her family is. Then she reveals she's just
Speaker 1: Miley and takes off the wig, and the whole town Holy,
Speaker 1: that's Miley Stewart. How did we not notice her face
Speaker 1: and body and voice and family are exactly the same.
Speaker 1: What crazy? Miley just wants a second chance. She is
Speaker 1: joined by a high school philharmonic of sorts and says
Speaker 1: she's going to sing something very personal. She repeats a
Speaker 1: catchphrase she's been using to appreciate her life's journey, something
Speaker 1: that your boyfriend Travis has said to her, which is
Speaker 1: life is a climb, but the view is great. Great line,
Speaker 1: and then we get the movie's first single and the
Speaker 1: movie's big final scene, the Climb. The crowd in her
Speaker 1: family love it, and most importantly, Travis is giving that
Speaker 1: cute cowboy smile. Miley is back and everyone loves her.
Speaker 1: As she's leaving the stage, that young girl from earlier,
Speaker 1: the one who saw her take off her wig, meagerly begs, please, Hannah,
Speaker 1: we'll keep your secret. Very sweet. Miley says, it's not possible.
Speaker 1: But then Travis yells out, it's just a wig. We
Speaker 1: should have noticed. No, I'm kidding. What he actually yells
Speaker 1: out because he likes yelling his thoughts out loud, is
Speaker 1: sure you can he does.
Speaker 2: He has no.
Speaker 1: Filter, none whatsoever. Even her family wants her to put
Speaker 1: the wig back on, because she looks better as a blonde.
Speaker 1: She deserves that stardom. They start chanting Hannah, Hannah, and
Speaker 1: the wig goes back on, but Oswald has been there
Speaker 1: the whole time. He snaps a picture and runs away. Lily,
Speaker 1: Travis and her family stay hot in his tail, eventually
Speaker 1: catching up to him, and the entire town kills him.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I was just seeing if you're all still
Speaker 1: with me. No, what happens is he threatens.
Speaker 2: A massive slaughter.
Speaker 1: It's a massive slaughter. They kill him and the town
Speaker 1: is saved. He threatens to press send on his new photo.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that can stop him. But that's when his
Speaker 1: daughters come running up, who are somehow flown in from England.
Speaker 1: They're so excited to meet Hannah. Vita got them both tickets,
Speaker 1: knowing it would soften that piece of Oswald. Nice move, Vanessa, Williams.
Speaker 1: His kids freak out when they see Hannah, and Oswald
Speaker 1: decides to keep the secret. See he understands the magic
Speaker 1: now even if I don't. Oswald tells his editor off
Speaker 1: and quits the tabloid now before running back to stage,
Speaker 1: Travis admits to Miley he's never been over the crush
Speaker 1: and they kiss. Hannah. Now back on stage, singing You'll
Speaker 1: always find your way back home. Robbie, Ray and Loralai
Speaker 1: also reunite and French kiss. The fundraiser has made hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. But the thing that I thought
Speaker 1: was funny is they still hadn't reached their goal. They
Speaker 1: cut to the guy who puts it up to four
Speaker 1: hundred grand when the goal was five hundred grand. They
Speaker 1: don't actually reach their goal. Uh so it was very
Speaker 1: fun Anyway, the city is saved, apparently. Hannah and her
Speaker 1: dancers now sit in a big tractor trailer truck as
Speaker 1: it barrels through the massive gathering at fans. We pull away,
Speaker 1: and that's our movie. Over the credits, we get to
Speaker 1: see all of our characters doing that amazing.
Speaker 2: Mind Dance does not say amazing in this script and
Speaker 2: says dance don't.
Speaker 1: That incredibly amazing line? Dance to the movie's worst song,
Speaker 1: the fake hip Hop one, and we are done. We
Speaker 1: know what we think about it. Let's do real reviews, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you had one star review, and
Speaker 1: I'd like you to read it for me.
Speaker 2: Please try to get through it.

Speaker 4: I would you can do it? Come on, you can
Speaker 4: forced to do stuff like this?
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. It was so boring. I

Speaker 2: like a French chandelier than watch it again, just so
Speaker 2: I can actually feel something. Holy hel Mariy, I just
Speaker 2: don't know what to say that that you would be
Speaker 2: so extreme dayple your ball to the ceiling.

Speaker 1: He never does, So here you go. He's a that
Speaker 1: he's a trickster. So that Jensen. All right, Jason, here's
Speaker 1: what it is. When you're an international superstar, you end
Speaker 1: up doing a lot of interviews and telling people a
Speaker 1: lot about yourself. So we will get five possible weirdo
Speaker 1: facts that megastar Miley Cyrus has revealed about herself over
Speaker 1: the years, and we have to decide if they are
Speaker 1: real or just stuff. Producer Jensen not Jason. Producer Jensen
Speaker 1: has made up to make himself laugh if we get
Speaker 1: three out of five? Right, So are you ready? Did
Speaker 1: he send you enough Jason to where you know the answers?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Okay, great, as you know, I'm a pop star, so
Speaker 7: you are. I don't have a ton of time, but
Speaker 7: he did send me the answers.
Speaker 1: Okay, So here you go. Number one, true or false.
Speaker 1: Miley's real name is wish false, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: say crazy false. It is something because it's Tennessee. I
Speaker 1: don't think he named her.
Speaker 5: Wish Well, it's false. Her real name is Destiny.
Speaker 2: Destiny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh so he doesn't look he doesn't look like
Speaker 5: a Destiny.
Speaker 2: She doesn't know. That's why I say it's it's not
Speaker 2: you just you just know her as Miley. So it's
Speaker 2: crazy to think.
Speaker 1: Is Miley her middle name or is it just Destiny.
Speaker 5: No, it's like she has another weird middle name too.
Speaker 2: It's a long it's a long name.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, gotcha. Number two, and I hope this is
Speaker 1: right because it's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: Too.
Speaker 1: Her favorite food is peanut butter. I'm gonna say, I'm
Speaker 1: going to say that's true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wow, Jason should be here more often too. It's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, peanut butter is the best, and everybody knows. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what kind of color hair you got, peanut
Speaker 1: Butter's amazing. Number three she collects dental molds.
Speaker 2: I feel like this could actually be true.
Speaker 1: I feel like we talked about something like this on
Speaker 1: Pod Meets World. I think it's true.
Speaker 2: I think it's true too.
Speaker 1: And if it's not, then someone else famous does. I think.
Speaker 2: I feel like she's gone through a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: with her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say true, true.
Speaker 5: It's true.
Speaker 1: Are other people?
Speaker 5: No? No, it just said dental molds. She just collects dental.
Speaker 2: I thought it had been like she keeps all of
Speaker 2: the ones that for the record, we.
Speaker 1: Just want Jason. We just wanted to tell Jensen that
Speaker 1: he didn't get us this time. Number four she has
Speaker 1: a mongoose named Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 5: False.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false. I don't think but.
Speaker 2: She might. I'm gonna say true.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false.
Speaker 5: She does not have a moment.
Speaker 1: Ah, she has a Kenny Chesney named Mongoose. That's the difference.
Speaker 1: And finally, number five, Miley was once under investigation for
Speaker 1: running a secret celebrity casino in her garage. Oh god,
Speaker 1: I hope this is true.
Speaker 2: Jason, that's just like so absurd.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I feel like she's you know.
Speaker 5: I can't do this, guys, she's the guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's me Shensen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't do it anymore. You're here the whole Yeah,
Speaker 5: not on my favorite podcast here. No, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We should have known. Was that true
Speaker 1: or false? Then, Jensen?
Speaker 5: That was false?
Speaker 1: I went four for five.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, thank you so much for joining.
Speaker 5: Us U Gentsen Genten The Life of a Pop Star
Speaker 5: and podcast producers toward.
Speaker 1: I can thank you.
Speaker 2: I can imagine. I can only imagine.
Speaker 1: Can we please do Sabrina sees.
Speaker 2: Sab I mean we talked about it so all of them.
Speaker 2: I just I have so many. We talked about a
Speaker 2: lot of them during it, because, like I told you,
Speaker 2: this was a movie that I actually got to just
Speaker 2: I couldn't help it but just sit back and fully
Speaker 2: just enjoy as I was you know, as it's meant
Speaker 2: to be. Yeah, of course I meant. I mean right away,
Speaker 2: I'm going teen beach. At the very beginning, I literally
Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, we'll talk about it with
Speaker 2: our interview. But the wig in the episode was absolutely
Speaker 2: god awful. It was so bad, and I was so
Speaker 2: thankful that when we were gonna watch this longer than
Speaker 2: ninety minute movie, I did not have to see that
Speaker 2: wig for that amount of time, and the wig was
Speaker 2: so much better and looked great on Miley. One thing
Speaker 2: we didn't talk about was, and I thought you were
Speaker 2: gonna make a little funny bart about it, could we
Speaker 2: get some security in that tent.
Speaker 1: After Oh, there's security anywhere?
Speaker 2: Let that guy anywhere in this movie. She's a giant.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would have thought that would have been
Speaker 2: some kind of sidebar character of this person who's undercover
Speaker 2: for her but is like a security guard just because nothing.
Speaker 1: Anybody can approach her, grab her, do whatever.
Speaker 2: It's really could have been kidnapped like that because Billy
Speaker 2: Ray or sorry Bobby Ray was nowhere to be seen
Speaker 2: for most of the movie with her. He had this
Speaker 2: relationship which I had such a problem with the whole movie.
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that I disliked about the movie.
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was needed. Why do we have
Speaker 2: two romantic relationships blooming I.
Speaker 1: Just, oh, always, so you're saying you didn't like you
Speaker 1: didn't like his relationship with Laura Harden.
Speaker 2: Right, this this romantic I didn't feel like it was necessary.
Speaker 2: It didn't really go anywhere. It didn't because if you watch,
Speaker 2: I don't it wasn't in the pilot. But again, like
Speaker 2: I told you, Monroe and I sat and watched five
Speaker 2: episode the first half season of the first she does
Speaker 2: start talking about and he has a love interest within
Speaker 2: the first couple episodes, and she has an issue because
Speaker 2: her mom has passed away. That's when they start explaining
Speaker 2: the relationship of where the mom is, she's passed away,
Speaker 2: and her getting over her dad starting to date. So
Speaker 2: that's already been done and he has already dated, so gotcha.
Speaker 2: There was nowhere for it to really be And I
Speaker 2: just didn't like it. I just didn't see it was
Speaker 2: necessary except for Billy Ray getting to kiss a gorgeous
Speaker 2: woman and you know, do that that was really all
Speaker 2: it was. And then again I said, what the hell?
Speaker 2: Oh my te Swift. Oh my T Swift she's on stage.
Speaker 4: Really what like I?
Speaker 1: And then again she's all of our T Swift, She's
Speaker 1: not just your T Swift Sabrina, but it was long
Speaker 1: to all of us.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, she's there, and holy Ca all amazing
Speaker 2: for this movie. And then again, I can't wait again,
Speaker 2: it's right here in my notes. I can't wait for
Speaker 2: my hoe down showdown with Will and and oh my well.
Speaker 1: Those are good. And now, of course we come to
Speaker 1: the time in our program when we have to rate
Speaker 1: our film, as we always do every week, we're rating
Speaker 1: it one out of ten. This time, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make one the worst and ten the best, as
Speaker 1: opposed to all the other times. I'm kidding. That's always
Speaker 1: how we've done it. Here are options for this week, Serena.
Speaker 1: We got one out of ten wigs, one out of ten,
Speaker 1: loosely kept secrets, one out of ten Beyonce Double Pneumonia's
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray hijacking planes, Dadagers, that's a good one. One
Speaker 1: out of ten, missing earrings, one out of ten, lobster times,
Speaker 1: one out of ten, clown pants, or finally, one out
Speaker 1: of ten Brookshields cameos, Uh, I think you picked last time,
Speaker 1: didn't you? I can't remember, or did I?
Speaker 2: You can pick this one because I think you should
Speaker 2: pick this one.
Speaker 1: These are I kind of like, hey, just because I
Speaker 1: had a problem with it. We're gonna go wigs. We're
Speaker 1: gonna keep it simple, all right, I keep it very simple.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go one score.
Speaker 7: Well, can I ask you a question that I think
Speaker 7: might affect your scoring that I just together that you
Speaker 7: probably realized earlier. Okay, if Robbie Ray is Hannah Montana's manager,
Speaker 7: does that mean that people see him managing Hannah Montana
Speaker 7: and still aren't able to put together that his real
Speaker 7: daughter is hand.
Speaker 2: No, so let me let you in on what I
Speaker 2: found out in my five episodes he had. He has
Speaker 2: also an undercover like.
Speaker 1: Look, it's like another wig.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a mullet her hat.
Speaker 1: He's not the guard he has. He's the guard where
Speaker 1: he pulls off his thing.
Speaker 2: No, backstage, that's what they didn't keep seamless within the movie.
Speaker 2: It's not in the movie, but in the show he
Speaker 2: like looks like some truck her hat with a you know,
Speaker 2: which I thought was funny that he had a mullet
Speaker 2: because that's what he has. He's famous for his mullet,
Speaker 2: so he had that and then a trucker hat. He
Speaker 2: has an outfit. Her best friend when she was she
Speaker 2: has like a purple wig. She has like a full
Speaker 2: blown Descendants.
Speaker 5: Looking got it? Okay, Well now I mean I'm expecting
Speaker 5: a ten. That made sense.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're welcome. I've learned a lot in my five episodes.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and Rod.
Speaker 2: Iron named Anna Montana expert at.
Speaker 3: This point, do you want me to go first?
Speaker 2: Went the way?
Speaker 1: All right, here's the thing.
Speaker 4: The way.
Speaker 1: If if we're talking premise, it's a two, it's two
Speaker 1: wigs for me because I don't buy it. I don't
Speaker 1: buy that you put on a wig and nobody, nobody's nobody.
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't get over it. I know that's
Speaker 1: me and it's just me, and I just have to
Speaker 1: let it go. I get that it's a two. That
Speaker 1: being said, as an actual movie for Disney, it was pretty.
Speaker 1: It was that. The cast was good, some of the
Speaker 1: music was great as long as you have to go
Speaker 1: to a hoe down showdown like every everything else was good.
Speaker 1: So as just a movie, had it not been a
Speaker 1: premise of just the Wig, I could have seen it
Speaker 1: being like a seven or an eight, really really could have.
Speaker 1: But with the wig thing, it threw me. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna and I think I'm being generous with this, with
Speaker 1: my with my wig assessment. I'm giving this five point
Speaker 1: five wigs because I couldn't get into the premise. I
Speaker 1: couldn't get into the premise. I just and that's on me.
Speaker 1: I get it, but I just it's so absurd that
Speaker 1: you're sitting there with like the guy you're in love
Speaker 1: with and the guys staring at your face all day,
Speaker 1: but now you're blonde and he doesn't under he doesn't
Speaker 1: see you. So I again, same problem with Superman and
Speaker 1: Clark Kent. This is not just for this movie. I
Speaker 1: didn't get that either. So I'm gonna go with five
Speaker 1: and a half based purely on me not buying the premise.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, great, I mean I think that's fair. I
Speaker 2: as as our listeners know, you need rules. This went
Speaker 2: against everything there. This did not give.
Speaker 4: You the needs for Will's HI rating.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't gonna happen. I called it as I
Speaker 2: was watching it. I knew, oh we were just oh
Speaker 2: another point, well, another half point another half point.
Speaker 1: So I get it.
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, as we all get to
Speaker 2: love and hate these movies, sure different to us, right, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: for me, like I told you, I was all in,
Speaker 2: and I think it partially was because I experienced it
Speaker 2: with me, my own daughter. But bumps in the road
Speaker 2: for me, when the hometown didn't know who she was,
Speaker 2: that was kind of just jarring.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: I didn't love the love interest. I felt like that
Speaker 2: was just I don't know, I guess a need to
Speaker 2: give Billy raymore screen time. I'm not really sure what
Speaker 2: it was for. And then there wasn't really a big
Speaker 2: like hump in the road in the story besides her
Speaker 2: getting called.
Speaker 1: Out for being that's the whole premise is.
Speaker 2: That was the premise. Instead, there wasn't as much of like,
Speaker 2: you know, like we had this thing of the town
Speaker 2: that was gonna be taken over and then it was
Speaker 2: like boop, we got a concert. We're good, Yeah, boop done.
Speaker 2: But I still loved it, I really did it. Still,
Speaker 2: it brought the notches down a tiny bit. I gave
Speaker 2: it an eight point five.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a very high scoring wig.
Speaker 2: It would if there was a few things that it
Speaker 2: probably would have been between that nine and ten. For me,
Speaker 2: I felt like, again, and I know you disagree, but
Speaker 2: Disney was brilliant. If this is a yes the mind
Speaker 2: idea that they executed for their audience. And I was
Speaker 2: around when this fandom was insane. It was insanity being
Speaker 2: at one of her concerts. I got to be at
Speaker 2: the we we did together collectively, we did the Houston
Speaker 2: Rodeo and it.
Speaker 1: Was that was the big one that you loved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and it was amazing, It was awesome. And
Speaker 2: so I just feel like this movie was what the
Speaker 2: fans needed, what they wanted, and Disney gave it to
Speaker 2: him and kicked it out of the park.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I will bet you many more
Speaker 1: people agree with you and your score than agree with me. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I totally understand that.
Speaker 2: I get that might be looking to replace you at
Speaker 2: this point.
Speaker 1: They should to Jack.
Speaker 4: They need Jack, they need I loved this movie.
Speaker 1: It was the best movie ever know.
Speaker 2: But honestly, truly, when you break it down like that,
Speaker 2: I feel like that you have to be able to
Speaker 2: at least respect that idea. And for the people that
Speaker 2: said that doesn't matter, that's okay too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I get No, I definitely believe way more
Speaker 1: people are going to agree with you about this. I absolutely,
Speaker 1: but I think that again, I'm just not into the
Speaker 1: whole Clark Kent thing. I don't get it. It's okay,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I honestly, if someone had asked me, do you think
Speaker 2: that will like Superman? I'd be like, absolutely. He loves all.
Speaker 1: Things like that. Batman even changes his voice because he
Speaker 1: knows you don't want to be recognized. That's part of
Speaker 1: the point. So yeah, no, I get it. But hey,
Speaker 1: this is why we're here, and I've also been it's
Speaker 1: been pointed out, this is our biggest difference between scores ever,
Speaker 1: between you and I. This is the biggest one so far.
Speaker 1: So I don't like you anymore. Is what's going on.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2: Also, I want to say things I don't like all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 1: That's good. And Also, if you get a knock at
Speaker 1: the door later today, I had a full size Travis
Speaker 1: Brody Standy sent to you for your Cowboy Guy. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. Thank you
Speaker 1: all so much for joining us. I really really appreciate it,
Speaker 1: and as the Sabrina, I know she's right and I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm still just the old man who cannot get over
Speaker 1: the fact that all she did was change colorver hair,
Speaker 1: and I know that's on me and it always will be.
