Speaker 1: Hi, Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Hi, How are you okay over there?
Speaker 1: How are you doing?
Speaker 3: You had quite the morning, you were chipping and falling
Speaker 3: and lip lining it up. You came in the first
Speaker 3: thing I heard is that our our zoom hadn't even
Speaker 3: started to just heart. Oh yeah, I'm doing great.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm doing okay. I'm glad. I'm sitting down.
Speaker 4: I feel like I might need some bubble wrap for
Speaker 4: the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Well, maybe it'll get better. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: an awesome movie. Yeah, well, all right, or or or
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this one. Let's do that. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll well, we'll get into it.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Magical Rewin, the show that makes you
Speaker 3: want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your popcorn
Speaker 3: and go back to a time when all the houses
Speaker 3: are smart, the waves, tsunamis and Sabrina remembered how to walk.
Speaker 2: I'm Will for Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 1: So this week on Magical Rewind, we tackled two subjects
Speaker 1: as intrinsically connected as peanut butter and jelly, thunder and lightning,
Speaker 1: or dcoms and Stuke Kreeger. That's right, it's hockey and
Speaker 1: girl Scouts. The classic combo leads us straight to twenty
Speaker 1: ten's Den Brother, originally released on August thirteenth, twenty ten
Speaker 1: as a Disney Channel original movie, also called the dcom folks,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're new to the show, but
Speaker 1: that's what it's called. Den Brother finally got us out
Speaker 1: of Canada after a long streak filming there. It was
Speaker 1: shot in Salt Lake City, Utah, sending us back to
Speaker 1: this country's dcom capital.
Speaker 3: This movie may not be well remembered or highly regarded
Speaker 3: or good in any way, shape or form, but it
Speaker 3: generated three points seven million viewers on premiere night, even
Speaker 3: peaking around four point three million near the end of
Speaker 3: the broadcast. That's a big success for Disney. And yet
Speaker 3: this one has been largely written out of the history books.
Speaker 3: And again, remember what do we just talk about? Where
Speaker 3: it came out and people really liked it, but it
Speaker 3: got four hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: We were just talking about under Wraps.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, the new Underwraps movie four hundred thousand, and
Speaker 3: this which this God, that movie was so much better
Speaker 3: than this movie.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I'm spoiling it right away. I'm also
Speaker 1: in a mood.
Speaker 3: People, I'm in a bit of a mood, so it's
Speaker 3: gonna come out on this movie. And anybody unfortunate enough
Speaker 3: to walk in front of me today, sorry, but I'm
Speaker 3: in a bit of a mood.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'll I'll try to lighten it up. I can. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see, we see.
Speaker 3: Now we have to acknowledge that Disney loves sports movies,
Speaker 3: but they sure do have a direct crush on hockey
Speaker 3: or just ice sports in general. From Mighty Ducks to
Speaker 3: h double hockey sticks to taj playing hockey and poof
Speaker 3: point to go figure, it is quite the trope.
Speaker 1: And now we can add this movie to the lexicon.
Speaker 3: And like every good hockey movie, the one question you
Speaker 3: have to ask is, Sabrina, were you a girl scout?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: For one year I was a Brownie, and I think
Speaker 4: we talked.
Speaker 2: About that a little bit before.
Speaker 4: I loved my uniform, very proud of it.
Speaker 2: I loved all the patches.
Speaker 4: I don't remember one patch I actually got, but I
Speaker 4: do remember being very very proud of them. That's my
Speaker 4: little costume, which was like a brown and orange ugly uniform,
Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, it was mine and it was
Speaker 4: my time to shine in it.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: Will Yes, you were a girl.
Speaker 3: I was started as a wee blow and then I
Speaker 3: got the and then I was a Cub Scout. I
Speaker 3: was actually the local paper as a cub Scout, which
Speaker 3: is awesome. So my father was in the Navy and
Speaker 3: they're opening a new like naval center, Marine Corps Naval
Speaker 3: Center near our house, and so I went in full
Speaker 3: Cub Scout gear and as all the soldiers stood up
Speaker 3: and saluted the flag, I did my Cub Scout salute
Speaker 3: in a I took a picture and I think I
Speaker 3: was seven years seven years old or so eight years old,
Speaker 3: and it's still framed in my house at home.
Speaker 2: That is so huge. Oh my gosh, that is adorable.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: And then I was only a Scout for like a year.
Speaker 3: My dad was an Eagle Scout and then went into
Speaker 3: the military. So yeah, I mean it was it was
Speaker 3: kind of bigger.
Speaker 1: In our family.
Speaker 4: But I've always wondered, and maybe you can't answer this question.
Speaker 2: Then, So the girl Scouts have been.
Speaker 4: Selling cookies for years, like decades on decades.
Speaker 2: Were you guys selling popcorn back then?
Speaker 1: No? Do you remember no, I think I saw.
Speaker 3: I think the boy Scouts looked over at the girl
Speaker 3: Scouts and they're like, damn, they're basically drug years, So yeah,
Speaker 3: what what's our drug? Because it's like, you know they've
Speaker 3: got And then somebody went popcorn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what we'll do.
Speaker 3: Is we'll give you a thing of popcorn, and we'll
Speaker 3: charge a ridiculous amount of money for paying sixty fifty for.
Speaker 4: It's crazy, but I think it is actually a really
Speaker 4: fun thing to sell too, though, like popcorn, because it's
Speaker 4: not your normal you can't get like salted and butter
Speaker 4: popcorn from them. It's like, I feel like the one
Speaker 4: I got was like snickered, like Snickers flavored.
Speaker 2: There was like they were like kind of candy. One
Speaker 2: was like a like a fruit loop type one.
Speaker 4: Two. And I'll tell you that I tasted all of them.
Speaker 4: All proved very good, great great gifts. Great gifts for
Speaker 4: you all.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say you are from a popcorn attict family.
Speaker 1: So that's how it is.
Speaker 3: But yes, I loved I loved being a boy Scout,
Speaker 3: especially I went to a boy Scout camp. I just
Speaker 3: didn't finish it out. Yeah, so well again, I just
Speaker 3: wish I knew how much it had to do with hockey. Yeah,
Speaker 3: as is commonly the case, Den Brother is available now
Speaker 3: to watch on Disney Plus, the official streaming service of
Speaker 3: Walt Disney. Well, not the actual guy, Walt Disney. He's
Speaker 3: been dead for a long time. Well, I mean before
Speaker 3: streaming services.
Speaker 1: At least. I wonder what he'd even think about streaming services.
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't know the man sot to stay mystery,
Speaker 3: but watch now, watch later. Either way, rest in peace, Walt.
Speaker 3: With that in mind, Sabrina, I ask you, did you
Speaker 3: know Den Brother existed before it became fodder for you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: And honestly, we talked about it within the last recording
Speaker 4: that that was going to be the next movie.
Speaker 2: It had mentioned that it had girl scouts.
Speaker 4: I honestly thought we were going for another spooky movie
Speaker 4: and the Den Brother was going to be like a
Speaker 4: long lost brother found in a den. So this was
Speaker 4: a big shock for me.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna have something to do with bears.
Speaker 1: I did. I did.
Speaker 4: Telling you the title, it makes sense as soon as
Speaker 4: you get into the movie really quickly, but if you're
Speaker 4: just looking at it, you have no idea what to expect.
Speaker 1: No nothing whatsoever. Even after I watched it, I still
Speaker 1: didn't know what to expect, if that makes sense. This
Speaker 1: film was directed by Mark L.
Speaker 3: Tayer and actor turned director, best known to our listeners
Speaker 3: as mister Fulton in a High School Musical two or
Speaker 3: Hank Ogden Eddie's Really Awful Dad in Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff.
Speaker 3: He has an uncountable amount of acting credits from Mash
Speaker 3: to Innerspace to Honey I Shrunk the Kids, but on
Speaker 3: the director's side, he's only done a handful of experiences,
Speaker 3: with this being his only full length movie, and it
Speaker 3: stars Hutch dan Oh, which might be one of the
Speaker 3: coolest seventies cop names ever, which is yeah, it's just
Speaker 3: an incredible name. He plays Alex Pearson, and it's best
Speaker 3: known for his time as skateboarder Zeke on the Disney
Speaker 3: TV show Zeke and Luther. He also appeared on Sweet
Speaker 3: Life on Deck Okay, wait, Sweet, that's They're on a
Speaker 3: boat right, They're.
Speaker 4: Ok not the reboot, but the spinoff spinoff thinks Okay, gotchaw?
Speaker 3: God, that's okay, Now It's on a boat Shameless, and
Speaker 3: the genre movie Zombieavers Wow. Ok I don't know what
Speaker 3: Zombieavers is A I'll guarantee you we're watching it and
Speaker 3: be I'll guarantee it's better than this movie. Then you've
Speaker 3: got Genevieve Hennelius, formerly known as g Henelius, plays Emily Pearson.
Speaker 3: You may know her from a bevy of Disney related
Speaker 3: shows like Sonny with a Chance, Good Luck, Charlie, Hannah, Montana,
Speaker 3: and most notably, she played Avery on Dog with a Blog.
Speaker 3: She recently appeared in the hilarious Netflix show American Vandal
Speaker 3: and is the voice of Rosebud in the Super Buddy
Speaker 3: Dog movies.
Speaker 1: Rosebud, do you get that? That reference? You don't get there?
Speaker 1: You don't get that reference? Whispering Rosebud?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 3: Have you not seen Citizen Kane, what's arguably considered the
Speaker 3: greatest film of all time.
Speaker 4: I think it's been twenty seven hundred years since I've
Speaker 4: seen it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so witty whispers on his deathbed, Rosebud.
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, Okay, that's making a little bit more sense.
Speaker 2: Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Maurice Godden is Professor Pearson.
Speaker 3: He is a veteran actor with credits on Seinfeld House,
Speaker 3: Wizards of Waverley, Place and Modern Family in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 3: which is his last listed job.
Speaker 1: David Lambert is Goose. Lambert played Talk to Me Goose.
Speaker 3: Lambert play made Brendan Foster on the hit TV show
Speaker 3: The Fosters for over one hundred episodes, and was also
Speaker 3: recently seen on the show Good Trouble.
Speaker 1: Kelsey as Beale I want to Say is How You say?
Speaker 1: It might be as Bela, but it's Kelsey as Bial
Speaker 1: formerly known as Kelsey chow Is Matisse.
Speaker 3: She played Gigi on One Tree Hill, but she's probably
Speaker 3: best recognized by her listeners as Mikaela on the kids
Speaker 3: show Pair of Kings, but you can now see her
Speaker 3: on a massive TV show. She plays Monica Dutton on
Speaker 3: Yellowstone and Another Vet. Deborah Mooney plays Missus Jacklits. Mooney's
Speaker 3: career really took off in nineteen eighty two when she
Speaker 3: appeared in the classic movie Tutsie, one of the greatest
Speaker 3: films of all time, and would later appear in Dead
Speaker 3: Poets Society, seinfeld Er, and she played Edna on Everwood.
Speaker 3: She's still working, recently appearing in three episodes of Inventing Anna.
Speaker 3: But beyond everything else, Let's talk Turkey.
Speaker 1: My friends. How long was this movie? Will the entire
Speaker 1: cast and crew need to sit in the penalty box?
Speaker 1: Or did we hit the target? Dennon brother Runs eighty
Speaker 1: nine minutes one off the ballside, but on the right
Speaker 1: side of history. So close yet so far, but still
Speaker 1: very impressive if I will allow it. It was the
Speaker 1: only good thing about this movie. And right this was
Speaker 1: not a good movie. Again, maybe I'm just a movie
Speaker 1: and writing credits, we have a story by credit a
Speaker 1: tribute to Michael Horowitz. He was a writer producer on
Speaker 1: shows like Burn Notice, prison Break, and the Disney Plus
Speaker 1: TV series reboot of Turner and Hooch, and the teleplay
Speaker 1: is accredited to James Kreeg, a writer has written the
Speaker 1: words I've personally said in many animated projects. He's also
Speaker 1: worked on live action shows like Monk and Supernatural, while
Speaker 1: writing on animated staples like Justice League, Crisis, Teen Titans, Go, DC,
Speaker 1: Lego and Ben ten and one, two, three, four Yep,
Speaker 1: done them all. We've mentioned that once before, as he
Speaker 1: was a writer of Frenemies.
Speaker 4: We will be taping a live episode of Magical Rewind
Speaker 4: at Disney California Adventure Park on December fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: If you live in the Southern California area or if
Speaker 3: you can be in the Southern California area on December fourth,

Speaker 3: Visit Coast one of three five dot com forward slash
Speaker 3: Magic Rewind now to enter for your chance to win.
Speaker 3: And so let's hit the ice and prep for Camparee.
Speaker 3: It's time for Den Brother.
Speaker 1: We jump right into it, diving into the lemon Oaks
Speaker 1: Ice Arena, announced as the home of the Icehounds, and
Speaker 1: it is packed. The announcer for the Ice Hounds Radio
Speaker 1: whose name is our newest entry in the decom name
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame hands mcat Helper. It's no Jackal Johnson
Speaker 1: is calling play by play and boy for a high
Speaker 1: school hockey team. They really have some dedicated fans.
Speaker 3: I think they have more people at their games than
Speaker 3: the Arizona Coyotes in the NHL. He points out their
Speaker 3: sloppy play and wonders why there's star players on the bench.
Speaker 3: And we see the star player take the ice. It's
Speaker 3: Alex Pearson. He immediately scores, completing a hat trick. The
Speaker 3: coach gazes at him during a timeout, but it's four
Speaker 3: to three, they're still down one. There appears to be
Speaker 3: a little rivalry with Titus on the other team, and
Speaker 3: Alex is ready to stick that puck right down his throat.
Speaker 3: Over the speakers, the announcer asks why can't every player
Speaker 3: be as good as Alex, which seems like really a
Speaker 3: mean thing to say when you have the power of
Speaker 3: an amplifier and you're watching kids play and now skating
Speaker 3: down the ice, Alex and another player from his own team, Goose,
Speaker 3: are fighting for the puck. Eventually, the teammate confusion throws
Speaker 3: them to the ice, causing a turnover and the opposing
Speaker 3: team scores Ice Sounds lose five to three. We're now
Speaker 3: back in the locker room. Alex is just a little
Speaker 3: too joyful for being on a team that just lost.
Speaker 3: And this was the start of me just really hate
Speaker 3: this guy.
Speaker 1: It's just again, maybe it was the mood I was in,
Speaker 1: but he he's very unlikable through most of the movie.
Speaker 4: I honestly was going thinking his buddy was the main character,
Speaker 4: that this was not the guy that we were gonna
Speaker 4: be in any way rooting for throughout this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And truth be told, I never once did root for him.
Speaker 4: I just thought he was such a schmuck.
Speaker 2: Like I was just like, you're a douche Canoosh, I
Speaker 2: don't I hope she never dates you.
Speaker 1: I mean, and he doesn't really learn anything. Even at
Speaker 1: the end, I mean he kind of does. They kind
Speaker 1: of throw it in, but it's like, this guy's just
Speaker 1: an for like eighty six of the minutes of this movie.
Speaker 4: Yes, although the parent seen in this it does wishy wash,
Speaker 4: but there's a point, there's two like moments we're going
Speaker 4: to get to it that I was like, I love that.
Speaker 4: I'm actually gonna keep that locked in here that that
Speaker 4: that like sentence, that moment that that so the parenting was.
Speaker 2: Actually not bad.
Speaker 1: These were not awful parents, not awful, right, I don't
Speaker 1: like Yeah, but I don't think they'd ever be in
Speaker 1: the in the in the hall of fame. We have
Speaker 1: no no.
Speaker 3: I mean they're clearly the dad especially is clearly just
Speaker 3: kind of absent. Yes, but at least he tries to
Speaker 3: put the hammer down. I don't know, but yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 3: Alex is joyful on the team that he just lost.
Speaker 3: He explains to his friend Goose, who he treats like
Speaker 3: for most of this movie, that it's just not about
Speaker 3: wins and losses. He selfishly focuses on his impressive personal play,
Speaker 3: but he apologized for the earlier bump, and Goose thinks
Speaker 3: they should have won the game, but Alex braced the
Speaker 3: news that they aren't a good team. They won't make
Speaker 3: the playoffs, but he needs to keep playing like this.
Speaker 3: If he does, he'll make the high school All Star team.
Speaker 3: Alex has little to no care about what his team does.
Speaker 3: He's just trying to shine on by himself. Yes, now,
Speaker 3: after the game, we can't hang with Goose. He has
Speaker 3: to take care of his sister Emily on his bike
Speaker 3: ride home. Much like on the ice, he doesn't care
Speaker 3: my for etiquette, uning over missus jack Lit's front yard flowers,
Speaker 3: she disapprovingly says hello, and he basically just bikes off
Speaker 3: without saying anything.
Speaker 1: Move number. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Already in the first nine seconds of this movie. When
Speaker 3: he arrives home, his dad is in a hurry. He
Speaker 3: has a lecture in twelve minutes and needed Alex home
Speaker 3: to babysit. We meet an older lady Inger, the housekeeper,
Speaker 3: who was my favorite part of the entire movie, and
Speaker 3: we learned that Alex's dad is too busy teaching five
Speaker 3: classes a semester to attend his games, which clearly bothers Alex,
Speaker 3: which makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He also needs to pick up Emily.
Speaker 3: From her bumblebe meeting tomorrow at four, and if there's
Speaker 3: ever an emergency, he's told to call the neighbor, missus Jacklitz,
Speaker 3: the one with the damaged flowers. Now with dad gone,
Speaker 3: Emily wants to watch Mister Bunny, but Alex quickly changes
Speaker 3: the channel to extreme sports. The fight for the remote
Speaker 3: ends with Alex just getting his way. Emily gives him
Speaker 3: dough eyes and then mister Bunny is on after all,
Speaker 3: and I liked the relationship the two of them had
Speaker 3: with yes, and.
Speaker 4: We're seeing a little bit of a soft spot and
Speaker 4: it's kind of it's starting to calm down for me.
Speaker 2: I'm eating him less and less.
Speaker 1: He obviously gets along with the sister. He you know,
Speaker 1: it's he's not being a jerk to her.
Speaker 3: So it was very cute, and it feels like both
Speaker 3: these kids have a little power and manipulation issues.
Speaker 1: But it's working.
Speaker 2: I haven't met very many that don't say exactly.
Speaker 1: That, kids that don't. At Lemon and Oaks Elementary.
Speaker 3: The next day, Alex arrives to pick up Emily from Bumblebees,
Speaker 3: only to find out that the group has just been
Speaker 3: alerted that they're being shut down.
Speaker 1: Troop fifty seven is no more.
Speaker 3: The girls are clearly bummed, as the dead mother Missus
Speaker 3: Moffatt explains, they'll be split up into existing troops all
Speaker 3: over the city, but the girls are all best friends
Speaker 3: and have been.
Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna say this for later. Who is
Speaker 1: this movie for to me?
Speaker 2: At this point, I'm thinking the movies for the little sister,
Speaker 2: so the.
Speaker 3: Movies for little girls. So they made this movie for
Speaker 3: little kids to watch, little girls to watch. Yes, then
Speaker 3: why are they concentrating so much on hockey and the brother.
Speaker 4: And because the storyline and truly what the like aspect
Speaker 4: of the movie is is around the troop, and that's
Speaker 4: a younger demo, but they're using an older But then
Speaker 4: because I did, I kind of went wait a second,
Speaker 4: all right, so and a lot of his hockey players
Speaker 4: were cast pretty old looking. I thought like they were
Speaker 4: mature looking. However, one of my favorite movies, Troop Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4: The main character is an adult.
Speaker 1: So right, but Troop Beverly Hills is all girls. So
Speaker 1: if you're an adult mom, you can go watch Troop
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. If you're a twelve year old girl, you
Speaker 1: can watch Troop Beverly Hills. Who the hell is this
Speaker 1: movie for?
Speaker 3: Boys aren't gonna want to go watch a movie about
Speaker 3: little girls that are that are doing the stuff like that,
Speaker 3: And little girls aren't gonna want to watch a hockey
Speaker 3: movie about older dudes playing hockey.
Speaker 1: Who did they make this movie for?
Speaker 2: I think the little girls would still join in because
Speaker 2: of the girl scouts. But yes, the little boy, this
Speaker 2: was not a well rounded like demis.
Speaker 1: I still don't know who the hell they made this
Speaker 1: movie for. Yeah, I'm sitting there watching the whole time.
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this for little girls? Is this for
Speaker 1: teen boys? What kind of movie is this?
Speaker 2: Well, it's definitely not for teen boys.
Speaker 3: I don't I just did not get because the lead
Speaker 3: character is a teen boy. It starts with hockey and
Speaker 3: then it goes and I'm just going, who don't I
Speaker 3: don't know who they made this for, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: get this movie.
Speaker 1: Who did they make this movie for? Anyway? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're splitting up Troop fifty seven. The girls are
Speaker 3: all best friends though, and have been friends, have been
Speaker 3: together forever. Missus Moffatt then gets a call leaving Alex
Speaker 3: with the troop. He tells them that one of their
Speaker 3: mothers is for sure gonna volunteer, so he wants to
Speaker 3: see their sad faces so they can guilt them into
Speaker 3: it again. This is a very high on manipulation kind
Speaker 3: of movie. One girl in the troop, Rachel, gets praised
Speaker 3: for her facial attempt, but she's just has resting face.
Speaker 3: Emily realizes the whole situation is gonna make camperee the
Speaker 3: most important Bumblebee event of the year. Impossible With that,
Speaker 3: Missus Moffett returns, but she's got to leave. She leaves
Speaker 3: the troop with Alex to watch over them until their
Speaker 3: parents arrive. He is clearly unwilling, but is left alone anyway.
Speaker 3: The girls want him to continue running the meeting, but
Speaker 3: he has a lot to do. There is no way
Speaker 3: he's going to end up being their designated dead mother.
Speaker 3: And then we get an optical flip.
Speaker 1: Gotta love an optical flip, and he is the dead mother,
Speaker 1: sitting at least temporarily sitting in the circle and learning
Speaker 1: about Troop fifty seven sunflower that you hold every time
Speaker 1: you want to talk, which is a straight up reference
Speaker 1: from Lord of the Flies. Yeah the conk anyway.
Speaker 3: Alex is already throwing the rules out, letting girls wear
Speaker 3: trs and encouraging one to dress like a vampire bumblebee
Speaker 3: girl and next up, screw this talking sunflower.
Speaker 1: No need. He asks one girl teeny what she wants
Speaker 1: to do, but there's no answer.
Speaker 3: Another girl suggests they look at pictures of cute boys
Speaker 3: in her team Beat magazine, which Alex isn't thrilled about.
Speaker 3: But the idea of a go for it is thrown
Speaker 3: out and the troops seem solid on that it's when
Speaker 3: they try a new activity, craft or skill, and of
Speaker 3: course Alex loves this idea. We cut to outside where
Speaker 3: the hockey star is walking with them, sporting a smirk
Speaker 3: on his face. This is also our first look at
Speaker 3: the Bumblebee uniforms. They are striped yellow and black, very
Speaker 3: much making them look like bees. What did you think
Speaker 3: of the uniform Sabrina?
Speaker 2: I thought they were cute.
Speaker 1: They were cut and the little girl who.
Speaker 3: Who doesn't talk at first, is one of the cutest
Speaker 3: girls I've ever seen on screen.
Speaker 4: She's Adora, so adorable and honestly, she to me, even
Speaker 4: though she didn't say much, she really like captured me
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 1: She was about the movie, I thought, I thought, that's
Speaker 1: the same thing I thought.
Speaker 2: Honestly, the entire troop was so cute.
Speaker 1: And the little girl who plays phenomenal, she's a great actress.
Speaker 1: The little girl who plays this syst.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I thought that.
Speaker 4: I thought the cast did actually really well with this movie,
Speaker 4: even though I didn't love the movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, yeah, but yeah, the kids were great. The
Speaker 1: kids were really great.
Speaker 3: They arrived at the skating rink and Alex starts a
Speaker 3: little hockey practice, which is unsurprisingly very messy, ending up
Speaker 3: with all the girls in a pile up, but Alex
Speaker 3: is still praising their good effort, just in time for
Speaker 3: his dcom appointed bully Titus to skate up and call
Speaker 3: him a dork. This guy also insults the the ice hounds,
Speaker 3: turning into a traditional hockey fight right there on in
Speaker 3: the all family ice rink, the girls cheer on Alex,
Speaker 3: but eventually he's dropped to the ground.
Speaker 1: Of course, off camera, you just hear a thump and
Speaker 1: then he's dropped to the ground.
Speaker 3: Back at home, he's right because I knew they I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, oh, they're grabbing shit. They're actually gonna
Speaker 3: throw a punch. But no, no, Back at home, he's
Speaker 3: resting with an uncooked steak over his eyes. Emily tells
Speaker 3: him it was the best Bubblebee meeting they've ever had,
Speaker 3: and asks if their mom was alive, would she take
Speaker 3: Emily to her meetings? And yes, we have an official
Speaker 3: dead mom alert either way. And again, this is twenty ten,
Speaker 3: so they're they're starting to use this more. But then
Speaker 3: they're changing it in under wraps. It's like they can't
Speaker 3: figure out which way to go with things. Remember it
Speaker 3: was like they specifically said he was divorced and under wraps,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of like, why did.
Speaker 1: You do that?
Speaker 3: But okay either way. She's very thankful that Alex can
Speaker 3: take her to her meetings, and she gives him a
Speaker 3: kiss on the cheek. It's a very sweet little moment.
Speaker 3: Back at school, Alex and Goose are talking talk to me,
Speaker 3: Goose when Alex bot's a pretty classmate Matisse in the hallway.
Speaker 1: Goose senses this and becomes edately angry.
Speaker 3: Just because Alex is good at hockey, he's allowed to
Speaker 3: date anyone he likes, why keep pursuing Matisse?
Speaker 1: She doesn't like him.
Speaker 3: Alex brags that he's starting to wear her down, which
Speaker 3: doesn't sound like the best meat cute ever made, and
Speaker 3: makes his way over to her, but she's a tough cookie.
Speaker 3: She doesn't seem to want to have much to do
Speaker 3: with him, even citing that he stole the puck from
Speaker 3: Goose and lost their game. Despite this cold interaction, he
Speaker 3: still asked her out for Friday night, but she doesn't
Speaker 3: even let him finish. She is quote doing something and
Speaker 3: I love that. It was just kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm doing whatever I can to be away from you.
Speaker 3: Like one character who saw this guy, and in the
Speaker 3: last ditch effort, Alex lets her know he's a hot
Speaker 3: commodity on campus and many girls would die to go
Speaker 3: out with him, which girls love to hear.
Speaker 1: By the way, I've found in the past, you know
Speaker 1: I'm pretty hot, you should date me.
Speaker 4: Well, this was just like, I mean, he hit another
Speaker 4: level of douche like he just he just kept getting worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, douche level accomplished weakly yep. Matisa, unimpressed, trips him
Speaker 1: to the ground, which frankly might have a little aggressive.
Speaker 3: Now back with Goose, he blames the response on not
Speaker 3: having a car, which wasn't mentioned anywhere. He wants to
Speaker 3: borrow his dad's because that'll apparently help. He knows his
Speaker 3: dad won't necessarily let him, but he plans on thinking
Speaker 3: outside the box. And now it's time for another Icehounds game,
Speaker 3: but Alex isn't on the ice yet. He loves to
Speaker 3: have his own grand entrance, which is something the coach
Speaker 3: should stop, but he is basically alex Number one fan.
Speaker 3: And then when he does come out. It's almost like
Speaker 3: he's on the nineteen ninety one Chicago Bulls. Also worth noting,
Speaker 3: despite being a mediocre team with one star player, every
Speaker 3: seat is filled. There's a cheerleading team, a mascot T
Speaker 3: shirt guns for Alex. He even has his own sponsor,
Speaker 3: Moses Roses. And now even the coach is fed up.
Speaker 3: This is all too much and as a result, the
Speaker 3: referee warns the coach he'll either suspend Alex for his
Speaker 3: actions or every player will be bench.
Speaker 1: For the rest of the season, and just like that,
Speaker 1: Alex is sent back to the locker room.
Speaker 3: At home, Alex's dad is disappointed, and Alex agrees how
Speaker 3: he's supposed to make the All Star team Now No,
Speaker 3: Alex's dad is disappointed in him as a son, and
Speaker 3: like the true narcissist he is, Alex makes it all
Speaker 3: about him.
Speaker 1: He's the victim for having initiative.
Speaker 3: He even says this is because his dad wants him
Speaker 3: to pay for his own upcoming car insurance. And with that,
Speaker 3: Alex jumps on the couch, nothing left to do but
Speaker 3: just wait for the suspension to end. But his dad
Speaker 3: is not going to allow him be lazy, so he
Speaker 3: puts him to work in the front yard. Finally get
Speaker 3: this dude doing something right, yikes, And later Emily pulls
Speaker 3: Alex outside to see something. A few of her fellow
Speaker 3: Bumblebees have arrived for a meeting, but he could care less.
Speaker 3: He runs off to play Madden Football, ignoring them until
Speaker 3: they force themselves into his room. None of their parents
Speaker 3: took the bait. They don't have a new den mom.
Speaker 3: They ask Alex to walk them to the community center.
Speaker 3: There's a Buddy Troop party for basket decorating, and that
Speaker 3: Buddy Troop as a junior helper one of the Bumblebees sisters, Matisse.
Speaker 3: Alex's face lights up and he completely changes his tone.
Speaker 3: Basket decorating. Absolutely, he loves basket decorating. He is in
Speaker 3: and I've never in my life said basket decorating more
Speaker 3: than I just did. He rushes the girls over to
Speaker 3: the community center, where the activities have already have already begun.
Speaker 3: Alex immediately spots Matisse, and she's surprised to see him
Speaker 3: as a Bumblebee mentor. He admits it's not a very
Speaker 3: guy thing to do, and so he jokes about that,
Speaker 3: but she thinks it's great. The other troop dead mother arrives.
Speaker 3: That's Dina and she's a stern leader. Dina is Vicky Lewis.
Speaker 3: Vicky Lewis was on one of my favorite shows of
Speaker 3: all time, News Radio, and she's very funny.
Speaker 1: This movie was a little the character was. It was
Speaker 1: like she was playing it like a Disney movie and
Speaker 1: no one else was. If that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she was like over the top. I actually
Speaker 4: thought this was one of my Sabrina seaes.
Speaker 2: Does she have an accent? It seemed like she had.
Speaker 4: I don't think so, like a bit of a like
Speaker 4: a Irish act, Like she was saying so many weird
Speaker 4: weird like she was saying so many words in a
Speaker 4: weird way. I don't know if it was like her character,
Speaker 4: but I thought her character was Irish, was like, why
Speaker 4: do we have to have Okay, I mean all right,
Speaker 4: because it.
Speaker 1: Didn't No, I don't think I didn't pick up an accent.
Speaker 1: I think she's just trying to be hoity toity, but
Speaker 1: it went.
Speaker 2: Away after this first scene she tried. It went away.
Speaker 1: It just Princess Leah in Star Wars another reference. You
Speaker 1: won't get there, you go, But she started British.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're not going to go back
Speaker 4: and listen, but if you do, go listen, are our
Speaker 4: listeners in the very interest? She seems like she has
Speaker 4: an accent. Then when you see her next and the
Speaker 4: rest of the movie, we never hear it again.
Speaker 1: All right, well I have to and now I have
Speaker 1: to go back and watch damn you damn uh. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Dina is a stern leader and with some slight
Speaker 3: witch qualities if you ask me. We'll have to see
Speaker 3: how things are gonna turn out. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Now it's kraft time. Eric sits with his girls decorating baskets.
Speaker 1: Eric jumps on his phone and calls his sponsors at
Speaker 1: Moses Roses to ask if they make baskets, and I
Speaker 1: was like what, And the other bubble are already jealous
Speaker 1: of Troop fifty seven because he's letting them do whatever
Speaker 1: they want. They're actually having fun, but Dina is not
Speaker 1: feeling it.
Speaker 3: At the same time, Moses's delivery of baskets arrives and
Speaker 3: he covertly hides them under.
Speaker 1: A table and I was I just didn't okay.
Speaker 3: He then officially meats a Dina, who insults Troop fifty seven.
Speaker 3: He praises their basket, they're unique and they're fun, but
Speaker 3: she reminds them there is no Troop fifty seven. Without Moffitt,
Speaker 3: the chapter ceased to exist. Alex fights back, but he's
Speaker 3: reminded the troop needs a dead mother, and he quickly
Speaker 3: fakes a woman home with strep throat named missus Zamboni.
Speaker 3: He's told to bring her to the next joint meeting,
Speaker 3: and the dread has already started to kick in.
Speaker 1: Matisa is not impressed with his aggression.
Speaker 3: She wants them to be more like a bumblebee, but
Speaker 3: when she sees his baskets from under the table, she
Speaker 3: can't believe it.
Speaker 1: They're beautiful. So I rewatched it.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it either.
Speaker 3: I was he bought a basket, and she was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, it's amazing. He unwraps it in front
Speaker 3: of her. It's covered in plastic. It's not like he's
Speaker 3: trying to like he did it. I don't understand what's happened.
Speaker 4: I thought he was gonna be pulling these flowers out
Speaker 4: and the girls were going to add.
Speaker 2: Them to the basket or something like.
Speaker 4: I thought it was gonna have like a decorative aspect
Speaker 4: that the girls were gonna have that.
Speaker 2: No one else had.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought, or I thought this basket was
Speaker 4: gonna be like for Matisse, but then it just was
Speaker 4: like not either and not really.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. I don't And she's like, the
Speaker 1: basket you're.
Speaker 2: Right in front of her that they made, Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was weird.
Speaker 3: And he reaches down and pulls out a covered basket,
Speaker 3: uncovers it and shows it.
Speaker 1: To and she's like, it's gorgeous. Of course it's gorgeous.
Speaker 1: He just bought it. You saw that happen, so I don't. I.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't go outside and meet the he didn't
Speaker 4: go outside and meet the van and like try to
Speaker 4: sneak it in anyway.
Speaker 2: It's like the delivery guy came.
Speaker 4: There was a moment where he was cheap and didn't
Speaker 4: give him a tip, like there was just like it
Speaker 4: was the it was weird.
Speaker 3: I don't I did not understand what the hell was
Speaker 3: happening here. And she was seriously like, this is so pretty,
Speaker 3: so pretty.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: Anyway, she's impressed for some reason and has no idea
Speaker 3: that he had them ubered there. The girls realized there
Speaker 3: is no Missus Amboni and now they're doomed, but Alex
Speaker 3: promises a replacement and in the meantime he will be
Speaker 3: their den mom. The girls celebrate the announcement, but Alex
Speaker 3: knows he's in way over his head. Alex is hanging
Speaker 3: out in the coach's sporting shop, trying to butter him up,
Speaker 3: but Coach sees right through it.
Speaker 1: He can't reinstate him.
Speaker 3: Basically, his Moses Roses sponsorship caused an issue because of
Speaker 3: another nearby flower shop.
Speaker 1: The referee rems his family owns.
Speaker 3: Out Of all things I expected from this movie, the
Speaker 3: business logistics of the flower industry was not one of them.
Speaker 1: Coach expects a two week suspension. Alex can't believe it.
Speaker 1: How will he make the All Star team, which we
Speaker 1: also learned is coached by the referee.
Speaker 3: Rems It's going to take a mirror cool to fix this.
Speaker 3: And then he sees Matisse over in the camping section.
Speaker 3: She assumes that they're there for the same reason, an
Speaker 3: upcoming leadership retreat for the Bumblebees, and so our favorite
Speaker 3: manipulative hockey player pretends he knows all about the excursion
Speaker 3: and transitions again into asking her out.
Speaker 1: She stops a mid sentence and says yes, but she
Speaker 1: assumes he was asking for a ride to the leadership event.
Speaker 1: Weird assumption. He's bummed and then runs into a store
Speaker 1: display at full speed. It's a very I did that
Speaker 1: on my date with the President's daughter. So they stole
Speaker 1: that from me. What did I say? Yeah? Another hockey
Speaker 1: it No, I forget. I don't know that. I've been
Speaker 1: in so many Sabrina. I'm kind of a hot commodity.
Speaker 1: You should date me. Back at home, Alex, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to do anything nice. Back at home, Alex
Speaker 1: is running out of the house when the Bumble stop him.
Speaker 1: They need him for their meeting.
Speaker 3: He says he's a previous engagement and tries to pass
Speaker 3: it off to their maid, who is so ancient that
Speaker 3: it's the it's so funny. She just sits there with
Speaker 3: this like duster that's on a circle. But she was
Speaker 3: actually very funny.
Speaker 4: She for some reason gave me vibes from the assistant
Speaker 4: Missus Trench Bull and Matilda has from that movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've never seen Matilda, can you.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 4: And she's like just old and she's just like every
Speaker 4: time she walks by, she doesn't really have any words.
Speaker 1: She's just like, nah, I love the name. Missus treunch
Speaker 1: Bowl is.
Speaker 2: Watch the movie trench Bowl is. Yes, Oh, you've got
Speaker 2: to see it. It's good. Danny DeVito directed it. It's good.
Speaker 2: It's good, it's good, it's good. It's my favorite thing.
Speaker 2: I was ever in a I was ever an extra.
Speaker 1: That's why you were in it. Okay, so we got
Speaker 1: to watch it.
Speaker 2: Bit all of us read the book.
Speaker 4: That was us like you know, at the on the
Speaker 4: set all you, I mean, we saw we skyrocketed those
Speaker 4: books just from how many kids were on set.
Speaker 2: We're all reading the book. It was so good.
Speaker 1: Wait, who played Matilda in that one?
Speaker 4: Oh, she's the one that plays the little girl in
Speaker 4: Missus Doubtfire.
Speaker 3: Oh oh you're talking about mar my friend Maura. Okay,
Speaker 3: because I know there's different versions of it. There was
Speaker 3: another Matilda that just came out not long ago. That
Speaker 3: was a huge dance number.
Speaker 2: And then I oh that was that was a musical.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I think because isn't it Is it on Broadway?
Speaker 1: Or is yes? It is so maa, Okay, I know, Mark,
Speaker 1: we'll she'smazy. Okay, good, okay, I'll have to see it now.
Speaker 3: Yes, So he pitches the position of denmother as more
Speaker 3: of a supervisor than anything else and continues to strut outside,
Speaker 3: but before he can make it, his dad stops him.
Speaker 3: He has office hours all weekend, and Alex is stuck
Speaker 3: taking care of Emily while he's gone, and he's got
Speaker 3: chores to do if he's expecting.
Speaker 1: That car, God forbid, this guy has to work.
Speaker 3: He starts with cleaning the shed and complaining the goose,
Speaker 3: who jokingly just getting little elves to help like he's
Speaker 3: san U.
Speaker 1: But that sparks a real idea for Alex.
Speaker 3: The bumblebees are planning on making bird feeders out of
Speaker 3: milk cartons, but instead he gaslights them into thinking their
Speaker 3: ideas too easy and his plan would be better and
Speaker 3: more difficult. They take them, obviously, and now he's got
Speaker 3: them cleaning the backyard while he just watches on missus.
Speaker 1: Jack lit spots the maneuver and is not impressed.
Speaker 4: And I am triggered at this point, and I will
Speaker 4: talk about it in my superency.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh wow, triggered. Okay, alrighty oh, okay, wait, I
Speaker 1: get wait, but when their dad gets home, the backyard
Speaker 1: genuinely looks like a chip in Joanna Gains kind of thing.
Speaker 1: The bumblebees have paid the price. They're all passed out
Speaker 1: in the room, exhausted because they're the ones who did
Speaker 1: all the work.
Speaker 3: And so now Alex is being walked out of the
Speaker 3: front yard with his dad covering his eyes as he
Speaker 3: finally getting a car. And when he uncovers his eyes
Speaker 3: it is a car, but a true geloppie, which is
Speaker 3: a word that is not said enough. When they open
Speaker 3: the hood, pigeons fly out. His dad wants him to
Speaker 3: build the car, just like he did when.
Speaker 1: He was a kid.
Speaker 3: This is not what Alex is expecting, nor was I,
Speaker 3: nor would any parents want to give him a dangerous
Speaker 3: car that he has to build himself.
Speaker 2: It's not even like this is something we're gonna do.
Speaker 4: I realize I'm just so busy, but you know, every
Speaker 4: Sunday we're gonna make this the most beautiful.
Speaker 2: No, it was like, hey, good.
Speaker 1: Luck, here you go.
Speaker 2: Hope you don't die the first time you tried driving
Speaker 2: this car.
Speaker 4: Exactly so this dad like I said, he like kind
Speaker 4: of flip flops back and forth for me.
Speaker 1: She's got some really.
Speaker 4: Great, you know, mentoring, and.
Speaker 2: Like the way he's keeping him accountable. I love that.
Speaker 2: But then he does things like this where I'm like, Dad, what.
Speaker 1: Are you doing?
Speaker 4: Bro? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
Speaker 3: This was not what Alex was expecting, and neither is
Speaker 3: the new longer list of chores he's being given with
Speaker 3: these new expectations.
Speaker 1: What is Dad's intentions here? I think it seems like
Speaker 1: he's just trying to be a but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think he wants to teach him responsibility, but he
Speaker 3: getting him all this stuff after from.
Speaker 4: Doing the gutters? Is that something your parents would have
Speaker 4: ever asked you to do? Like clean the gutters?
Speaker 1: Not not fro.
Speaker 3: I mean again, it would depend if you're in a
Speaker 3: California ranch style house and you've got to go up
Speaker 3: ten feet to clean the gutters.
Speaker 1: Maybe okay, but we were. We lived in a big
Speaker 1: two not big, but it was a regular size house,
Speaker 1: but it was two stories. But my parents would not
Speaker 1: have put me on a ladder really dangerous.
Speaker 2: Really dangerous. I don't use how many movies and TV shows.
Speaker 4: Do you see like the dad who's doing the gutter
Speaker 4: cleaning getting very hurt from being up on the ladder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, so falling. And it was also weird. The
Speaker 1: whole thing was that this a lot of this didn't
Speaker 1: make sense. So he comes home and he sees what
Speaker 1: a good job his son is doing. Right, so he
Speaker 1: gives him way more chores and a piece of car
Speaker 1: and it was like why why. It was like, congratulations,
Speaker 1: you're really doing well. Here's a punished in.
Speaker 4: Hard Yeah, here's even harder stuff. I guess I, I
Speaker 4: guess I didn't have the bar raised high enough for you.
Speaker 1: Look. Yeah. Yeah, there's so much of this movie where
Speaker 1: I was just going, I don't get this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, now, with the new list in hand, he approaches
Speaker 3: the Bumblebees for more help, but they're not having it.
Speaker 3: They're not interested in cleaning the gutters and are far
Speaker 3: more interested in earning badges. Alex offers his help and
Speaker 3: they suggest starting with the start a fire badge. He
Speaker 3: lies about not having a permit to start a fire
Speaker 3: and suggests getting four badges at once.
Speaker 1: Instead.
Speaker 3: They're interested in, once again following the work of a
Speaker 3: con man, they paint the garage, clean his room, deliver papers,
Speaker 3: and work on the car engine, all while Alex is
Speaker 3: home creating his own badges and culling them in. So
Speaker 3: they're going on YouTube and they're learning how to build
Speaker 3: an engine from scratch, these eight year old girls, seven
Speaker 3: year old.
Speaker 2: Girls, which I believe those videos are probably on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Thought, And it's also it's he's then coloring in like,
Speaker 1: the girls aren't gonna notice these aren't real badges.
Speaker 3: We've been bumblebees for years. We need certain badges. Now
Speaker 3: you're just coloring stuff and they're like, yay, they wouldn't
Speaker 3: They didn't know when they.
Speaker 1: Start he started coloring them. Was like, you can't fake
Speaker 1: the badges, bro, They're gonna know they're fake. But they didn't.
Speaker 1: They were super happy.
Speaker 4: Were nowadays they could do a quick scene of him
Speaker 4: like on Amazon buying badges.
Speaker 1: Right exactly, stealing it from another kid.
Speaker 2: Go back then, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the girls are covered in grease, they're probably
Speaker 3: on the roof, and Child Protective Services would, I'm sure
Speaker 3: have opinions on this entire thing.
Speaker 1: Then things get worse. Dina, the rival denmother, wants to
Speaker 1: meet with Missus Zamboni. What are they gonna do?
Speaker 3: They stall her while they prep inside, and once she's inside,
Speaker 3: they make it look like missus Zamboni is getting a
Speaker 3: spa treatment now with their body covered, a face mask
Speaker 3: made of Thousand Island dressing and cucumber slices on her eyes.
Speaker 1: Oh. Alex also now does the.
Speaker 3: Worst fake woman's voice in the history of films. Oh,
Speaker 3: no one would buy this ever, no one, let alone
Speaker 3: an adult. But I mean, no one would buy this ever.
Speaker 3: Dina's not buying it, but somehow the girls make it work.
Speaker 3: And in the fractice, missus Zamboni also says Alex will
Speaker 3: be going to the Leadership Powell this weekend with Matisse,
Speaker 3: but Dina says that's against the rules, and on her
Speaker 3: way out, she tells missus Zamboni to keep an eye
Speaker 3: on Alex Pearson. She doesn't trust him, and let's be honest,
Speaker 3: no one should. But this is where I was like,
Speaker 3: Now they're going like kind of missus doubt fire.
Speaker 1: But it's awful.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the Italian dress or what it a Thousand Island
Speaker 2: dressing was it was making me like gueazy.
Speaker 4: It was so gross looking, and of course I got
Speaker 4: the idea that it's like a Missus doubt fire.
Speaker 2: I saw the change.
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, we'll see where we go because we
Speaker 4: haven't really had anything like this so far in a
Speaker 4: Disney movie, right, like for a reason.
Speaker 2: But this part was a gross and the oh the
Speaker 2: voiceover was cringey.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm a woman now and I'm missus zambody,
Speaker 1: I'm even even trying.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, you can't do that in front of the
Speaker 4: godfather of voice acting.
Speaker 2: It's going to be pissed, Sami Alarm.
Speaker 1: It's just bad though.
Speaker 2: It's just bad.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was, it was, I mean, just oh, just bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I wonder if this was possibly not
Speaker 2: part of his audition. I don't know process for this.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't like to bash on young people acting. No,
Speaker 3: it's not an easy thing to do. You're also carrying
Speaker 3: the entire film, the guys.
Speaker 1: In most of the movie.
Speaker 4: He's actually, for the most part hilarious. I thought so
Speaker 4: much of his little like fun things that he was doing,
Speaker 4: his comedy stuff was cute, but he was great. But
Speaker 4: this was, I mean, that's a lot to do, Like,
Speaker 4: it is very hard. People that think like, oh you
Speaker 4: should get into voice acts. It's like, uh, it's really difficult,
Speaker 4: it is and.
Speaker 1: It's it that and that was that? Wow, that wasn't it?
Speaker 1: That wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Now alone, Emily is mad she didn't know about Matisse
Speaker 3: and calls for her other bumblebees. They're gonna help him
Speaker 3: get ready for his big date. They know about girls
Speaker 3: the way that he knows about hockey, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: this will be cute at least that night, they start
Speaker 3: working on his black heads and moosing his hair. They
Speaker 3: also go over what he should talk about with Matisse,
Speaker 3: and the answer is her. They show him clothing options
Speaker 3: and she's a cute boys shirt. But they realize he's
Speaker 3: running late, so they show him out of the house
Speaker 3: and unveil his car, which has now been professionally painted
Speaker 3: and fixed by one of the girl's dads. Well again,
Speaker 3: she says he painted the car. The girls were supposed
Speaker 3: to fix the car. He painted it yellow, so he
Speaker 3: doesn't actually say thank you, which I think is strange,
Speaker 3: and I kind of I mean, it's like, so they
Speaker 3: painted it like a bumblebee. I get it, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it was like, okay, the girls are master mechanics all
Speaker 3: of a sudden and in like a day or two
Speaker 3: they fix the car and have it paint. Anyway, this
Speaker 3: was a rough one for me. While he checks out
Speaker 3: the KI was one of those things, was like, am
Speaker 3: I in a bad mood? Or is this movie putting
Speaker 3: me in a bad mood? And I think it's a
Speaker 3: little from column In, a little from Columbae.
Speaker 1: I'll be up. You just need a banger.
Speaker 3: We haven't had like a banger in a while, like
Speaker 3: one where it's like this movie's awesome.
Speaker 2: I thought Unwraps was pretty good.
Speaker 1: We like, we like She's good, but it's still like God,
Speaker 1: I miss like mis we gotta go well. I think
Speaker 1: we're doing Xenon again. We got okay.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we gotta get a good Yeah.
Speaker 3: While he checks out the car, Missus jack Litz appears
Speaker 3: holding her dog. She thinks it's beautiful and knows that
Speaker 3: the Bumblebees did it. She reminds him of the code
Speaker 3: that the organization lives by integrity, fidelity, and readiness, and
Speaker 3: that it applies to den Mothers too. With that, he
Speaker 3: leaves Judge mcjudgerson and picks up Matise And again she's right.
Speaker 1: And this is when I was like, oh, obviously she's
Speaker 1: gonna be the one at the end who's gonna help out.
Speaker 1: You just know. She loves his new haircut and there
Speaker 1: seems to be an immediate spark.
Speaker 3: As he opens her car door, he gets a text
Speaker 3: from the girls reminding him to talk about her, So
Speaker 3: now in the car, he asks her about her bumblebee
Speaker 3: history and she praises his work as a denmom. He laughs,
Speaker 3: it's not like he had to join the army. But
Speaker 3: then we optical flip once again, right to the leadership powow.
Speaker 3: It's being run by Dina, just like an army drill,
Speaker 3: and she is not impressed with how many cookies these
Speaker 3: troops are selling. When she gets to Alex, he says
Speaker 3: he doesn't know his troops total sales. Missus Zamboni does,
Speaker 3: but she's homesick with the gretzkis.
Speaker 1: Okay cute.
Speaker 3: Alex admits they are very behind, but this weekend he'll
Speaker 3: be taking them to the mall to get their numbers up,
Speaker 3: and all the dead moms gasp. The mall is Dina's
Speaker 3: territory and now things have gotten very serious. They try
Speaker 3: and strong arm him out of the mall, leading him
Speaker 3: to a big speech about what's fair, and everyone agrees
Speaker 3: with him because they're right.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't monopolize the mall.
Speaker 3: Bro Alex suggests that Dina's troop shouldn't have exclusivity on
Speaker 3: the mall. Instead, they should have a contest. Whoever sells
Speaker 3: the most cookies of the mall tomorrow gets the mall
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season. He's calling it a
Speaker 3: cookie Blitz. All the dead Moms agree, except for Dina,
Speaker 3: who just pouts. Now, Alex drops off Matisse and she
Speaker 3: admits she was wrong about him. She's very impressed with
Speaker 3: what he did today, and she gives him a kiss
Speaker 3: on the cheek. The next day, Alex takes the girls
Speaker 3: to the mall for the blitz. He notices the girls
Speaker 3: have abandoned some of their more unique traits for more
Speaker 3: traditional bumblebe accessories, but he tells them they don't need
Speaker 3: to be typical bumblebees, they just need to be themselves,
Speaker 3: and yes, he seems to be starting to mature a little.
Speaker 1: Bit, thankfully, a little bit, hopefully he's growing up. He
Speaker 1: gives them one last pep talk and off they go
Speaker 1: for a montage. All the troops have gathered there and
Speaker 1: are fighting for customers. The Bumblebees have even brought out
Speaker 1: the shirt gun and a mall train, which are big hits.
Speaker 1: But I have to imagine firing boxes of cookies into
Speaker 1: random people is probably extraordinarily dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it actually would have been okay if they
Speaker 4: had done more of like a bundle of cookies in like.
Speaker 2: A plastic yeah, cute decorative bag.
Speaker 3: She just cut to somebody like like a bloody mouth,
Speaker 3: like teeth knocked out, holding a box of thin mints,
Speaker 3: like thanks, so yeah, very very cute but dangerous. Yeah
Speaker 3: so yeah, I don't know why, Uh that was okay,
Speaker 3: but I get what they're doing. And while Matisa and
Speaker 3: Alex have a little flirt together, Dina demands to finally
Speaker 3: see this missus Zamboni. The bylaws say the dead mother
Speaker 3: must be present, so she wants to disqualify the troop.
Speaker 3: Alex quickly changes his tune, saying that Miss Samboni is
Speaker 3: in the mall in the nearby Big and Beautiful U store.
Speaker 3: He promises she'll be back soon, but Dina sprints into
Speaker 3: the store to find her. Alex sneaks in behind her,
Speaker 3: and while Dina searches Alex picks up some items for
Speaker 3: the rack and rushes to the dressing room. This way
Speaker 3: he's able to talk to Dina through the door. You know,
Speaker 3: obviously this is no missus doubt fire. I might even
Speaker 3: say it's a missus miss fire.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you.
Speaker 3: Alex, in his terrible Zamboni voice, says, big girls need
Speaker 3: frocks too, And this was not my favorite scene, and
Speaker 3: by that I mean it was just another in a
Speaker 3: long line of very bad scenes. Dina advises her to
Speaker 3: join the Bumblebees, but Missus Zamboni pushes back, trash talking
Speaker 3: and keep being it real with her, and all that
Speaker 3: does is make Dina matter. And the whole time he's
Speaker 3: just throwing out large women's underwear that's landing on her head, like.
Speaker 1: These are not big enough for me, And it was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, what am I watching? My eyes hurt.
Speaker 1: It's just it's so it's this. This movie really.
Speaker 3: Made me realize how much of a difference a good
Speaker 3: any good movie in any bad movie is. Obviously, but
Speaker 3: any good dcom and any bad dcom are.
Speaker 1: They're so different.
Speaker 3: Yes that it's it's one of but you wonder it's
Speaker 3: I go to kind of how did this get made?
Speaker 3: Because you've got to go through so many levels of
Speaker 3: getting a film made, especially back in twenty ten when
Speaker 3: the business was still the business. So you've got to
Speaker 3: go and you got to pitch, and you've got to
Speaker 3: do this, and you gotta do that. How did first
Speaker 3: of all nobody go well, who is this for?
Speaker 1: Who's the movie for? Is this going to be about
Speaker 1: the girls? Is it gonna be about the boy? Is
Speaker 1: it for boys? Is for girls? Who is this movie for?
Speaker 3: And then you start getting the scripts in I mean eventually,
Speaker 3: I mean the writer's good. I've worked with him, he's great.
Speaker 3: So is he getting parameters of what he has to
Speaker 3: put in and not? Because there's some things where you're
Speaker 3: just going, what is what's happening right now? How are
Speaker 3: they doing that? And this scene was one of them
Speaker 3: to me where it's just like, what what's going on
Speaker 3: right there?
Speaker 4: Just seemed like there was a lot of little things
Speaker 4: like that were too much stuff put in right right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Maybe that's it, you know, too many too many.
Speaker 4: Aspects, like even with the hockey that to me clearly
Speaker 4: didn't need to be a thing. It's like the hockey
Speaker 4: part of it, he could have been it literally could
Speaker 4: have been him with.
Speaker 2: Just this girl as his you know, love interest.
Speaker 4: The whole hockey part, which took a big chunk of it,
Speaker 4: took a chunk in the beginning, took a chunk later on,
Speaker 4: like it's like that kind of so I feel like
Speaker 4: it was like just too many things instead of diving
Speaker 4: deep and really like getting a little bit more of
Speaker 4: a sessed out, yeah, not so chaotic type thing that
Speaker 4: was happening.
Speaker 2: I don't know if yeah, I don't know. I just
Speaker 2: it just seemed like, yeah.
Speaker 1: It was so yeah, so Alex, I agree. Alex Is
Speaker 1: now in his Zamboni voice, says, big girls need frocks.
Speaker 1: Two Dean advises him, okay.
Speaker 3: So Diana gets Matters keeping it real okay, And once
Speaker 3: she's gone, Matisse arrives to also talk to the door
Speaker 3: to the troop's new den mother, which causes for an
Speaker 3: even slightly bigger moral dilemma for Alex. It's an awkward
Speaker 3: conversation with his crush digging an even bigger unethical ditch
Speaker 3: by praising Alex to her, saying that he talks about her,
Speaker 3: and this makes Matist blush and endears him even closer
Speaker 3: to her.
Speaker 1: But again she's talking about a true master manipulator. But
Speaker 1: she also knows that he likes her because he's asked
Speaker 1: her out fourteen times in the movie, so.
Speaker 2: That she shocked that that could have been done. And
Speaker 2: I don't it just that part was so like, oh,
Speaker 2: come on, no one's gonna fall for.
Speaker 4: This garbage, Like do you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 4: she's not even talking to a person face to face either, it's.
Speaker 2: Through a door.
Speaker 4: Like I just was like, I don't I just don't
Speaker 4: like her falling for him because he sees him with
Speaker 4: his little sister.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, her.
Speaker 4: Seeing that he's you know, maybe giving up time with
Speaker 4: his hockey situation to be with like the Carols and
Speaker 4: get them to what they need to do.
Speaker 2: Okay, this was like, I don't know, too far fetched
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: I just now, all of a sudden, he's dressing up
Speaker 1: like a woman, he's got a woman's vo It was
Speaker 1: so strange.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it needed to happen earlier.
Speaker 1: Or not happen at all, is what it should have been.
Speaker 3: Now out of the dressing room and back in the mall,
Speaker 3: Alex rejoins the troop who has won them all blitz
Speaker 3: these types of sale numbers will get them into Camperie
Speaker 3: for sure. And that's when Dina's troop fifty seven girls,
Speaker 3: which is different than Heinez fifty seven, arrived to make
Speaker 3: fun of their handmade Alex badges. Dina points out that
Speaker 3: these badges aren't even real and that Alex has been
Speaker 3: fooling them. Making Alex and his friends sandwich is should
Speaker 3: not result in a badge. Dena sarcastically apologizes, besays the
Speaker 3: badges will not count towards the camporee. Matisse and the
Speaker 3: girls are angry at Alex and we all know that
Speaker 3: this is just one more of his lies. That night,
Speaker 3: Alex is at the ice rink, just sitting in the
Speaker 3: stands when Goose joins him. The team has actually one
Speaker 3: four in to a row without him, so maybe you're
Speaker 3: the problem. Alex calls it luck because you know he's Alex,
Speaker 3: and rather than talk about somebody else, he immediately shifts
Speaker 3: the conversation to how Emily hates him and Matisa's mad.
Speaker 3: He tells Goose about the fake badges, and then his
Speaker 3: friend finally calls him out. He didn't come to see
Speaker 3: the team. He came because he needs help. Goose says
Speaker 3: that this is a problem. Alex misses the point and
Speaker 3: thinks that he just has to make it look like
Speaker 3: he's fixing things, and this guy might just be a
Speaker 3: lost cause. Either way, It's time for the next troop
Speaker 3: meeting and no one I'll talk to Alex. They will
Speaker 3: be mean, but not too mean because they still need him.
Speaker 3: And then the girls find a nearby pair of binoculars
Speaker 3: and a map. It leads them on a scavenger hunt
Speaker 3: sent to very odd music. They eventually spot Alex far away,
Speaker 3: calling them over to some tents, and now because of
Speaker 3: that he got them official or in teering badges. They
Speaker 3: just need four more badges to qualify for Camparee, and
Speaker 3: he's dug up all the things in this campsite to
Speaker 3: achieve them. And so now we get another montage, this
Speaker 3: time with a little bit better music and the girls
Speaker 3: getting everything done, from sit ups to erecting a tent
Speaker 3: to archery and starting a fire. But even with the badges,
Speaker 3: they're still short on cookie sales, which is how they
Speaker 3: pay for Camperee. One camper suggests selling blood, which is
Speaker 3: I think a pretty good idea, but.
Speaker 1: They land on selling muffins.
Speaker 3: They would need to sell over two thousand muffins to
Speaker 3: make it worse though, to make it work though, And
Speaker 3: the only thing I kept thinking the entire time was
Speaker 3: the girls. Throughout troop I saw set up outside of
Speaker 3: a weed dispensary, which is still the greatest thing of it.
Speaker 1: Don't such a good idea?
Speaker 3: Yes, and one of them to sell hot muffins at
Speaker 3: a cold hockey game is obviously hits a nerve for Alex,
Speaker 3: but he has to admit it's a pretty good idea,
Speaker 3: and so it's time to prep these muffins. While Alex
Speaker 3: admits he can't really be at the game with them,
Speaker 3: he doesn't tell them it's because he's suspended, but he
Speaker 3: says it would be better if there was a real
Speaker 3: Missus Zamboni to be there.
Speaker 1: Maybe they should just pick a different spot, but the
Speaker 1: girls remind him it's the best place, hands down, and
Speaker 1: that's when they suggest maybe Missus Sambo is there. And
Speaker 1: so the girls begin the process of turning Alex into
Speaker 1: his female alter ego with prosthetics and makeup. And I
Speaker 1: don't have high hopes here, but let's see where it goes.
Speaker 3: So at the game again, it's packed like the King
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup, playoff. The girls are selling their cupcakes, and hilariously,
Speaker 3: the girls adapt cuter little baby voices to sell them.
Speaker 3: So maybe Alex's con man ways are starting to rub
Speaker 3: off on them. That's great, and Dina is quick to
Speaker 3: approach them, asking where Alex is. When the girl seem
Speaker 3: nervous about his whereabouts, Didda thinks she has him on
Speaker 3: the ropes. She plans on telling the Bumblebees regional office.
Speaker 3: This woman has a total heart on for True fifty seven.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 3: And that's when missus Zamboni arrives. It's Alex in full
Speaker 3: female makeup and I have to say.
Speaker 1: It's actually not bad the makeup, but it's not good either.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know, honestly knew this was gonna eventually have to happen,
Speaker 4: and I was surprised and actually pleased with it. I thought, like, again,
Speaker 4: we haven't seen Disney go for this, or Doesney channel
Speaker 4: d Coom like a dcom go for this and this?
Speaker 2: I think if I'm thinking twenty ten, you're thinking of
Speaker 2: like all the movies that had like what what was
Speaker 2: was it big?
Speaker 4: Like how or like the movies that were doing like
Speaker 4: a lot of prosthetics with the face and some of
Speaker 4: the Yeah. So I'm thinking, like it's around that time
Speaker 4: that a lot of movies are happening, and I was like,
Speaker 4: this isn't bad. Disney doing it was not that bad.
Speaker 4: I actually then it made me go they should have
Speaker 4: done this so long ago.
Speaker 1: Yes, because.
Speaker 4: Him in this outfit actually was pretty funny and was
Speaker 4: if you think about a younger demo too, was could
Speaker 4: have been used really well, him doing the typical trying
Speaker 4: to get in and out of his prosthetics, you know,
Speaker 4: like like missus doubtfire?
Speaker 1: Do missus doubt fire for kids' Yes, that's.
Speaker 2: What I think it could have been.
Speaker 4: Instead, they like smortgashborged it with like a bunch of
Speaker 4: us their crap.
Speaker 1: Let nobody cares exactly this.
Speaker 2: Game, this game.
Speaker 1: The game was yeah, so Alex big Yeah, the game
Speaker 1: was just pointless.
Speaker 3: Alex gives a big pep talk and the money starts flowing,
Speaker 3: even selling one to Matisse. Hilariously, Alex can't stop watching
Speaker 3: the game and getting angry about what he's seeing. As Zamboni,
Speaker 3: he yels at the coach to put in Alex, but
Speaker 3: the coach yells back to who he assumes is a grandma.
Speaker 1: He's not here, but if he was, he's and he'd
Speaker 1: end the suspension and put him in right now. And
Speaker 1: so right there, Zamboni takes to the ice and scores.
Speaker 3: They figure out quickly it's Alex in a dress with
Speaker 3: hockey skates on, who just jumps on the ice.
Speaker 1: Okay, so his teammates, especially Goose, are not very pleased.
Speaker 1: He's once again quote unquote, saved the day and the
Speaker 1: process completely ruined everything for the Bumblebees since Dina will
Speaker 1: for sure bust them.
Speaker 3: Matisa is now disgusted as well. It was just like,
Speaker 3: what is he doing back at home? He tries to
Speaker 3: hang out with Emily, but she wants nothing to do
Speaker 3: with him either. He tries to talk to his dad
Speaker 3: for help.
Speaker 1: And this is what I noticed. He's wearing a pretty
Speaker 1: insane to pay can do with a movie. But I
Speaker 1: noticed it. I didn't.
Speaker 2: Now I have to go watch it.
Speaker 1: Watch. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Okay, not trying to call
Speaker 1: him out, but it's pretty bad. Yeah.
Speaker 3: His dad knows he just needs reassurance because he let
Speaker 3: down Emily terribly, but he can't give him that. Alex
Speaker 3: admits he did wrong and deserves punishment. He suggests six
Speaker 3: weeks or hard labor, but his dad is not interested
Speaker 3: in punishing him. He wants him to feel the consequences
Speaker 3: of ruining things, not just feel better by completing a punishment.
Speaker 1: Great great moral time.
Speaker 3: Yes, Alex lets out some frustration by hitting hockey pucks
Speaker 3: outside and eventually is joined by Missus jack.
Speaker 1: Lit's a dog.
Speaker 3: He walks the dog back over to her house and
Speaker 3: is invited inside by his neighbor. She knows all about
Speaker 3: the missus Zamboni situation as well. While in the house,
Speaker 3: he sees frames of hundreds of Bumblebee badges from the
Speaker 3: daughters and their granddaughters. He also sees an old picture
Speaker 3: of her daughter's troop and it includes his mom. His
Speaker 3: mother was an excellent scout and he knows he let
Speaker 3: her down. Missus jack Litt said she can use some
Speaker 3: help around the house and if he promises to do it,
Speaker 3: she'll be.
Speaker 1: The troops dead mother again. This should happen way earlier.
Speaker 3: The next day, he joins the Bumblebee meeting and they're
Speaker 3: still giving him the cold shoulder. He admits he was
Speaker 3: a jerk and apologizes he knows he wasn't a good
Speaker 3: Den brother or a real brother, but he introduces missus.
Speaker 1: Jacklitz as the new Den mother. She asked for some
Speaker 1: time alone with the troop and talks about how they
Speaker 1: can't blame everything on Alex. He was just trying to help.
Speaker 3: So they're going to go So they're going to do
Speaker 3: another go for it about forgiveness, and so now we're
Speaker 3: back at the big hockey game. For some reason, it's
Speaker 3: them versus their rivals, which includes that bully Titus, and
Speaker 3: during their pregame huddle, Alex asks to speak. He apologizes
Speaker 3: for being a jerk and makes Goose the new team captain,
Speaker 3: but Goose says he doesn't want to be the captain.
Speaker 3: He wants Alex to be a good captain. And so
Speaker 3: now Alex is ready to implement the new offense around Goose.
Speaker 1: Talk to me, Goose.
Speaker 3: Even on the first play, they pull off a trick
Speaker 3: where Goose scores immediately. It's a hard hitting game, with
Speaker 3: Alex basically being a decoy and getting destroyed when he
Speaker 3: has the puck, but he loves it, and next time
Speaker 3: down the ice, Alex deeks this way to the net,
Speaker 3: but decides to pass the Goose for the goal and
Speaker 3: the win. They took home the trophy with an assist,
Speaker 3: and now Goose is making the All Stars and Ali
Speaker 3: didn't even have to pass it. He did it because
Speaker 3: now he is unselfish and Troop fifty seven was at
Speaker 3: the game, so is his dad. With Camperie tomorrow, he's
Speaker 3: concerned they don't have everything that they need, but they
Speaker 3: do accepted dead mom. They liked miss Jacklitz, but he
Speaker 3: is their dead mother. He accepts and is very excited
Speaker 3: about Camperee. At Camperee, it's Bumblebee heaven with games and
Speaker 3: chants and unfortunately Dina, she says there is no Troop
Speaker 3: fifty seven because there's no dead mother, but he says
Speaker 3: he is the Den mother. The girls rush up with
Speaker 3: the rule books. As long as their parents agree, he
Speaker 3: can be the dead mom. But Dina has one more
Speaker 3: thing up or sleeves. All the Den moms need to
Speaker 3: be in full uniform, and as a latch ditch effort,
Speaker 3: Matis says an idea. She changes Alex into a woman's
Speaker 3: bumblebee uniform skirt and all he emerges and gets applause
Speaker 3: and laughs, and his dad says he never thought he'd
Speaker 3: admit something like this, but seeing his son in a
Speaker 3: Bumblebee uniform makes him proud. Everyone at Camperrie loves it,
Speaker 3: except Dina, who tells her husband, the referee and All
Speaker 3: Star Hockey coach, about it.
Speaker 1: Did we know she was mer to the ref This
Speaker 1: guy's got his fingers and everything. Oooh, that sounded strange.
Speaker 2: I definitely knew that.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: He hears her Karen like complaining and says he's going
Speaker 3: to do something about it. It feels like he's going
Speaker 3: to beat up Alex, but instead he offers him the
Speaker 3: last spot on the All Star team. He accepts it
Speaker 3: as long as it works with his Bumblebee schedule. The
Speaker 3: girls are thrilled. Matisse seems turned on as they chant
Speaker 3: his name. We get our final credits with some patented
Speaker 3: DCM bloopers, and that.
Speaker 1: Is our movie. I'm exhausted. Let's do some real reviews.
Speaker 1: I've got the one star this week, and it was
Speaker 1: written by somebody who's never written before an animal. This
Speaker 1: was written by Alice and the Cat. The dad is terrible.
Speaker 1: He ignores both of his children. He just makes me
Speaker 1: super mad. Any character flaws and his children, I feel
Speaker 1: are directly linked to a complete and total lack of
Speaker 1: parenting or any sort of adult direction. Somehow, Alex is
Speaker 1: expected to be a mother to his sister and a
Speaker 1: gardener and a mechanic. One star. It's not wrong actually,
Speaker 1: and super well written for a cat.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, what are you saying?
Speaker 4: I've got the five star this time, and it's from
Speaker 4: Julia l The movie was okay, I thought it came
Speaker 4: out in two thousand and nine, though, thank you Georgie.
Speaker 1: Five stars, Julia, five stars.
Speaker 3: And now we're going to do our feature presentation after
Speaker 3: watching this film, it's going to be just punching myself
Speaker 3: in the face repeatedly.
Speaker 1: First person to hit me harder wins. I'm kidding. The
Speaker 1: feature of this week is called Badge of Honor.
Speaker 4: In all honestly, that's what it feels like Justin is
Speaker 4: doing most of the time with these games.
Speaker 1: Punching us in the face. Hey, you've been doing well lately,
Speaker 1: and I think it's because he's not here.
Speaker 2: I know, I think he intimidates me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got Battle of the Network Stars whatever that show.
Speaker 1: His wife is on Badge of Honor.
Speaker 3: With this week's inclusion of the Bumblebee Scouts, that was
Speaker 3: obviously referencing the Girl Scouts, maybe only second to Cookies.
Speaker 1: Girl Scouts are known for merit.
Speaker 3: Badges, little achievement rewards be sewn onto their uniforms. Now
Speaker 3: we're gonna be given the name and description of a
Speaker 3: badge that at some point was or still is available
Speaker 3: in the Girl Scouts. We decide if it's real or fake.
Speaker 3: Three out of five wins. Okay, okay, who I don't think.
Speaker 1: Jensen's here again today? Who's playing with us today?
Speaker 4: He's not?
Speaker 2: It's me Tara y graduates.
Speaker 1: So long did you watch this film? Producer Tara I
Speaker 1: did not got a envy. It's not the list, Okay.
Speaker 1: Our number one badge is the toilet science badge, where
Speaker 1: the girls explore how plumbing works.
Speaker 4: Is it like?
Speaker 2: So we're supposed to guess.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I think that's real.
Speaker 2: I think that's real too. You also have to guess
Speaker 2: if it's still around or if it's retired.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I think it's I think it's real, and
Speaker 1: I think it's retired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like there's a it's gotta be a
Speaker 2: different name.
Speaker 1: It's real and it's still around. Oh my god, the
Speaker 1: toilet Science bad I don't even want to know what
Speaker 1: it looks like.
Speaker 2: Toilet.
Speaker 1: So we're so we're over one.
Speaker 3: Number two the Dental Health Badge, earned by brushing faked
Speaker 3: teeth and identifying sugar content in candy.
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say real and still available.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, so is it?
Speaker 1: Are they all real?
Speaker 4: And we're seeing if it's available or if it's somebody
Speaker 4: you know he made some of these up.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I think this is a made up one.
Speaker 2: It's real and it's still around. Hey, I got one,
Speaker 2: all right, sugar content in candy?
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Number three the Woodchuck Badge, awarded to
Speaker 1: excellence in chopping and stacking wood safely. They're not going
Speaker 1: to have them chopping wood, are they. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this is fake.
Speaker 2: No, I think this is fake, but I think it
Speaker 2: could have been one, but maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say fake.
Speaker 2: It is real, but it's retired.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was real. Well.
Speaker 3: The question becomes though, with the girl Scouts, is how
Speaker 3: much wood could a would chuck chuck?
Speaker 1: If a wood chuck could chuck, would is the question?
Speaker 1: Number four the Skydiver Badge, given a Scouts over eighteen
Speaker 1: who have completed one skydive. This can't be real. There
Speaker 1: aren't girl scouts that are eighteen.
Speaker 4: I think you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you graduate in high school.
Speaker 1: So no, yeah, fake, it is fake. Yay, all right,
Speaker 1: that's true. So I gotta get this one to win
Speaker 1: number five. The Eating for Beauty badge a badge given
Speaker 1: to encourage girls to eat foods that make your quote
Speaker 1: unquote make your skin glow.
Speaker 3: Oh, it seems like something that would be real and
Speaker 3: god willing retired. That's what I'm I'm gonna say, real
Speaker 3: and retired. How about you, Sabrina.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was something they would have done
Speaker 4: back in the day. Yeah, but now retired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is real.
Speaker 2: It retired and it was made in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Just fun Okay it was I did. I did too?
Speaker 1: Did you win?
Speaker 2: I got one three or one four?
Speaker 1: And yeah then you won? Then great, we won.
Speaker 2: Wait what did you say about the eighties, Tara?
Speaker 1: It's from the eighties. It was made in the eighties.
Speaker 2: It was made in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right. That seems about right. Can we
Speaker 1: do a Sabrina sees.
Speaker 2: We can.
Speaker 4: They're actually kind of funny, a little bit to this. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 4: first of all, poor Rachel. We're all best friends except
Speaker 4: for Rachel.
Speaker 2: That first like thing, I was just like, dang. But
Speaker 2: then there was really nothing that came from it.
Speaker 4: Except for she was just kind of a little like
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call it edgy. She's just a little different,
Speaker 4: but like little emo, but yeah, a little emo, which
Speaker 4: is nothing wrong with it. Okay, I'm gonna move past
Speaker 4: couple of them. Also, my jaw dropped when I saw
Speaker 4: Matias come on the TV.
Speaker 2: I immediately was like, I know her, I know her,
Speaker 2: I know her.
Speaker 4: And then to find out she's Monica Dutton from Yellowstone, Oh,
Speaker 4: I was like, I forgot to text Tara, but I
Speaker 4: was like, we've got to just reach out just to
Speaker 4: see if maybe she'll come on because she's.
Speaker 1: A review we just gave.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, probably not.
Speaker 4: But I mean I'm sure she had really a lot
Speaker 4: of fun filming it and you know whatever. But the
Speaker 4: go from a Disney this is another like she's on
Speaker 4: one of the biggest like move like shows that's been
Speaker 4: around recently, like that would be so it was amazing
Speaker 4: to see that Again Disney finds the best talent that
Speaker 4: just ends up going on to amazing careers, did we
Speaker 4: you didn't tap on, I would think it was gonna happen.
Speaker 4: This is our second movie that is. Zamboni kind of
Speaker 4: played a big.
Speaker 1: Part in it, a pretty big what what what what?
Speaker 1: The other one was?
Speaker 2: What it was the one that was the figure skating.
Speaker 2: Remember he comes in on the Zamboni SCEs.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Well we use it in h double
Speaker 1: hockey sticks too, and you yes that.
Speaker 4: So it's like, well you guys used it, but like
Speaker 4: that one and this one, I mean, his name being
Speaker 4: Zamboni like kind of made Zamboni like a character, just
Speaker 4: like the like him coming into like a as a
Speaker 4: night Disney.
Speaker 1: Disney's got a real Zamboni for those.
Speaker 2: They seriously do.
Speaker 4: So I thought your Zamboni references. I was like, oh god,
Speaker 4: they're just gonna hear these over and over again. But
Speaker 4: you you know, held it together or maybe it's just
Speaker 4: the mood it is.
Speaker 1: I am not in a Zamboni mood today, Okay.
Speaker 2: Trigger So my I was watching it.
Speaker 4: I actually was tempted, but I didn't end up doing it.
Speaker 4: Was tempted to text my sister, like, this movie's triggering
Speaker 4: me because I swear you did crap like this to me,
Speaker 4: being so much younger, she would say, hey, I bet
Speaker 4: you couldn't. She would make me do her chores, but
Speaker 4: manipulate me into doing them. I bet you couldn't vacuum
Speaker 4: this entire room in under three minutes.
Speaker 2: There's no way you could do it. Oh yes, I can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Everything was because she always, like I was so always
Speaker 4: have been very competitive. I bet you couldn't go get
Speaker 4: the mail in under sixty seconds. God, And so I
Speaker 4: was kind of getting triggered watching this.
Speaker 2: Guy di manipulate his sister and her little friends to
Speaker 2: do all this he was supposed to do. Your jerk,
Speaker 2: and I hate you, I love my sister.
Speaker 4: It was a time in her life that, you know,
Speaker 4: why not manipulate your little sister. I was there to
Speaker 4: do anything to make her think I was cool. And
Speaker 4: then the last, the last, the last little thing that
Speaker 4: I wrote was when she's when the girl's age was
Speaker 4: a little another questionable thing to me.
Speaker 2: And this is the last thing.
Speaker 4: When she does the the newspaper, I'm like, why is
Speaker 4: she not just riding a tricycle but like a big
Speaker 4: wheel like the ones you mean back on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a little kid's big wheel, like a little
Speaker 1: little kid's big wheel.
Speaker 4: Monroe wouldn't even ride one of those right now unless
Speaker 4: it was like the only thing to do in.
Speaker 2: A backyard and a friend's house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 4: There were so many questions that were just weird, and
Speaker 4: we went over the rest of them. But you know,
Speaker 4: all I could think of this whole movie was bumblebee
Speaker 4: tuna bumble.
Speaker 1: From mister Mom. Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 2: From mister Mom?
Speaker 4: From ace Ventura Beet Detective when nature calls bubble be tuna,
Speaker 4: bumble bee tuna.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I haven't seen that's Ace Venture too. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen that in forever.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's so funny. It's the only thing
Speaker 2: that kept making me really smile during Mister Mom.
Speaker 1: Might not have been bumblebee. Yeah, mister Mom was another thing,
Speaker 1: but uh oh that's right, bumble tuna, bubble.
Speaker 2: Tuna, bubble too.
Speaker 1: All right, let's rade our film. Let's it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be between one to two, all right, I'm kidding. No,
Speaker 3: One to ten ten is the best our options this week.

Speaker 3: to ten mean announcers talking sunflowers, dcom dead mom, So
Speaker 3: let's not do that.
Speaker 1: Yees yeah.

Speaker 3: one thousand island face masks.
Speaker 1: Those are your favorite.
Speaker 3: One to ten yellow cars, one to ten missus misfires
Speaker 3: are one to ten insane two pays.

Speaker 1: oh god, I've got to see that now.
Speaker 4: So I think I go first. You do sorry to
Speaker 4: take a swing at this. You know what Again, we
Speaker 4: talked about it. I wish we could go back and
Speaker 4: actually redo this movie and do it along the lines
Speaker 4: of a kid's Missus doubtfire like it would have been
Speaker 4: a lot and just keep it there right, the love
Speaker 4: interest and trying to get these kids accepted into this
Speaker 4: camp or whatever, like you know, it was just all
Speaker 4: the thing, the hockey, that everything, it just was. It
Speaker 4: wasn't my jam it it I'm glad it was at
Speaker 4: least it was a shorter one of them, and it
Speaker 4: wasn't you know two into the hundred and one hundred
Speaker 4: and ten minutes situation.
Speaker 2: Because I was glad for it. I did not like it.
Speaker 4: Much.
Speaker 2: There were some cute moments. The girls were adorable.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think I've gone with a six point five
Speaker 4: insane two pays.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're that's the huge, huge score where
Speaker 1: I figured you were going to be really wow. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: to me it was.
Speaker 2: It was an easy watch.
Speaker 4: I was as bored as the last one that I
Speaker 4: gave a really bad score to, right, But I was
Speaker 4: not as like, oh, this is such a good movie
Speaker 4: and I'm ready for such a good movie. I want
Speaker 4: one of those just humdinger d coms. Give it to me, Tara,
Speaker 4: I need a good one.
Speaker 1: I agree, Well, hopefully it'll be the next one we announced,
Speaker 1: but I have to first rate. I think you're being
Speaker 1: hugely generous.
Speaker 4: Did not.
Speaker 1: I do not understand who this movie was for. I did.
Speaker 3: It was like they threw everything at the wall just
Speaker 3: to see what would stick. It's a hockey movie. It's
Speaker 3: a little girl's movie. It's a missusdoubtfire movie. It's a
Speaker 3: I did not understand what was going on a lot
Speaker 3: of it made no sense. Then he's on the ice
Speaker 3: in the in the dress, he just grabs skates and
Speaker 3: got None of this made sense to me. This movie
Speaker 3: was a massive jumble of weirdness to me, and again
Speaker 3: admittedly not in a good mood. But again I also
Speaker 3: do not know if I was not in a good
Speaker 3: mood when I watched it, or it put me into
Speaker 3: a bad mood. I can I tell you I had
Speaker 3: to watch it in chunks because I just I didn't
Speaker 3: like this movie. I am giving this generously four in
Speaker 3: two pays.
Speaker 1: This movie I did not get. Again, I still you
Speaker 1: gotta be able to point to who the movie's for.
Speaker 1: Who is this for? Is this a little girl's movie?
Speaker 1: Is this the the main star is a teenage guy.
Speaker 1: I don't understand who this movie was for. So, yes,
Speaker 1: this was not one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: But hopefully next week we're gonna write the ship because
Speaker 3: we've had some good ones.
Speaker 1: You write. Under Wraps was good, but then we had
Speaker 1: a couple back there.
Speaker 3: We liked Halloween Town, we liked Under Wraps with their
Speaker 3: Phantom of the Megaplex. We did not like there's a
Speaker 3: couple here that we haven't had some great ones lately.
Speaker 3: But our next movie is not just a sequel.
Speaker 1: It's a zequel. That's right.
Speaker 3: It's Xenon, the zequel from two thousand and one, a
Speaker 3: sci fi fantasy returned to the character who debuted in
