Speaker 1: Sabrina, Who was your first pet? I don't say what
Speaker 1: I say, who who was your first pet?
Speaker 2: I had a dog.
Speaker 3: His name was Banned Nice. We got him from the pound. Okay,
Speaker 3: we went to the pound. Yeah, I finally was able
Speaker 3: to talk my dad into getting a dog and we
Speaker 3: went to the pound. His name was banned already. I
Speaker 3: don't think that would mean anything. Realized later that day
Speaker 3: how he got his name because Homie ran away from
Speaker 3: every house that he was ever atone.
Speaker 2: Oh no, so they always had him.
Speaker 3: So the pound actually named him band It because he
Speaker 3: was there all the time.
Speaker 4: Did he run away from you that day?
Speaker 3: Oh no? So we went so we got we got
Speaker 3: him a collar and everything. So they called us right
Speaker 3: away and said, yep.
Speaker 4: He's here.
Speaker 2: You think here, he's here. So that was, you know,
Speaker 2: I think I was probably seven ish.
Speaker 3: Then my dad figured out where he got out, fixed it,
Speaker 3: brought him back, and he would basically go just rummage
Speaker 3: around the neighborhood. And then he liked us, so he
Speaker 3: did end up coming back all the time. But yeah,
Speaker 3: he got one of the neighbor dogs pregnant.
Speaker 2: They had a litter like. He was just this care
Speaker 2: free dog.
Speaker 4: What a cat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, wow, dog just roam in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and pregnant and stuff.
Speaker 3: I know, it was crazy, but he was the best dog.
Speaker 3: He was gorgeous. He was a Golden Retriever, like nice,
Speaker 3: blonde blonde, white white white hair, so beautiful, so sweet.
Speaker 3: I was really little, so I would even climb on
Speaker 3: his back. And you know, he was just the best, sweetest.
Speaker 2: Awesome dog.
Speaker 4: That's nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved it. What about you? Who was your
Speaker 2: first pet?
Speaker 4: My first pet was a Gerbil named Charcoal.
Speaker 2: A gerbil.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was unfortunately then killed by my second pet, which
Speaker 1: was a cat. Wow, So I had two cats, Bill
Speaker 1: and Arnold.
Speaker 2: Aren't Gerbils kind of baker?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're thinking of guinea pigs. No, Gerbils
Speaker 1: are like they're like mouse sides.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh no.
Speaker 1: It's to this day the reason why if I hear
Speaker 1: any crash or bump or anything in my house, I
Speaker 1: go in check because when I was seven or eight,
Speaker 1: I heard a crash upstairs and I was too scared
Speaker 1: to go and checks. I was home alone after school,
Speaker 1: and the crash I heard was the cat's knocking Charcoal's
Speaker 1: cage over and it opened up.
Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So to this day, because I just assume anytime I
Speaker 1: hear a crash in the house, a Gerbil is in trouble,
Speaker 1: of course I come running.
Speaker 3: So where do you sit on the idea of having
Speaker 3: rodents slash road kills four pets?
Speaker 1: At this point, then I'm all for I don't know
Speaker 1: why I would have roadkill as pets.
Speaker 3: I mean there are already like those kinds of pets
Speaker 3: are like, they're not they're not pet pets, They're they're
Speaker 3: pets that are outside.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I had a friend who had a ferret that would
Speaker 1: it's stunk, but it was really really cuddly ferrets freak me.
Speaker 4: Out like this one would crawl into your shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he'd curl up and go to sleep, like
Speaker 1: he'd want to be close to your skin, so he'd
Speaker 1: curl up and go to sleep.
Speaker 4: So it was very very sweet.
Speaker 1: Yes, but for the most part, I'm a dog cat
Speaker 1: first dog, okay, dog?
Speaker 2: And do you do you and Sue have many dogs
Speaker 2: or one dog or.
Speaker 4: No, we have one dog.
Speaker 1: We have our one dog, Sammy who okay, yes, Samantha
Speaker 1: is We rescued her as well. She was actually from
Speaker 1: this amazing program called Pause for Life where she was
Speaker 1: for eight weeks. She was trained at the Lancaster Federal
Speaker 1: Prison with the prisoners. So the prisoners actually they take
Speaker 1: in a group of prisoners, take in the dogs, and
Speaker 1: they a group of dogs and they train them. And
Speaker 1: so for eight weeks she lived with the prisoners and
Speaker 1: when we got her, she was unbelievably well trained.
Speaker 4: It is in credible program.
Speaker 1: Oh it has I think the lowest recidivism rate of
Speaker 1: any program in California. So when the prisoners come out
Speaker 1: of prison, they get jobs with with canine places, they
Speaker 1: know how to train them, they work with Pause for Life.
Speaker 4: Very few of them reoffend. It is a great, great program.
Speaker 1: So if you're out there and you're a listening and
Speaker 1: you are looking for an animal, Pause for Life is
Speaker 1: an incredible program.
Speaker 2: That really is.
Speaker 4: So that's our girl, that's our same. She's my best ie.
Speaker 2: Oh my'sna miss. I got a well.
Speaker 3: I had Rocky, my miniature shitsu for a long time.
Speaker 3: I got him when I was nineteen, and then years later,
Speaker 3: when Jordan and I are together, I told him, I said,
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to get a dog and a girl
Speaker 3: dog and Namer Emily and he was so taken back
Speaker 3: by that.
Speaker 2: But it's from the movie Three Ninjas.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever watched that course, Sean
Speaker 1: Fox is a good friend of Rider Strongs on one
Speaker 1: of the Ninjas is one of Rider Strongs best friends
Speaker 1: from childhood.
Speaker 3: When Tubbs Tubbs the Little Brother goes, you know, is
Speaker 3: making fun of Rocky the Old Ones goes, Rocky looks
Speaker 3: em leek.
Speaker 2: Emily was his love interest.
Speaker 1: So that's what I had for So you need to
Speaker 1: name it out of dec Well, I'm guessing the one
Speaker 1: thing that our animals have in common is they they
Speaker 1: too wouldn't have liked the movie that we're going to
Speaker 1: watch today. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna want to jump ahead,
Speaker 1: but first let me say welcome back to Magical Rewind,
Speaker 1: the show that makes you want to grab your friends,
Speaker 1: your pjs and your popcorn and go back to your
Speaker 1: time and all the houses were smart, the waves.
Speaker 4: Tsunamis, and the high School's musical.
Speaker 2: I'm Wilferdale and I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the groomers because the Will is
Speaker 1: about to be read this week.
Speaker 4: We're taking nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1: You Lucky Dog off its leash, and oh how I
Speaker 1: wish this one might have been put down a shot
Speaker 1: right here in Los Angeles, more specifically in the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley's Canoga Park, over just twenty seven days, with
Speaker 1: a budget of allegedly four million dollars.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: The script for You Lucky Dog was discovered by the
Speaker 1: star Kirk Cameron years prior, who was already, of course,
Speaker 1: very well known for family television for his one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty seven episode run as Mike sever on the
Speaker 1: smash hit Growing Pains, and he ended up finding the
Speaker 1: script and bringing it to Disney himself to make It
Speaker 1: first aired on June twenty seventh, nineteen ninety eight, and
Speaker 1: is technically technically the third ever official DCOM, behind just
Speaker 1: Northern Lights and Under Wraps. But this dcom and we'll
Speaker 1: get into for very good reason, is not regarded as
Speaker 1: a fan favorite. On the contrary, In a twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: Collider list of the ninety nine d coms that had
Speaker 1: been released up to this point, it was number wait
Speaker 1: for it, ninety.
Speaker 4: Nine, harsh, harsh but fair. Let's be honest, Vine but fair.
Speaker 1: Writer Aubrey Page notes, there's not a clear message here, honestly,
Speaker 1: and though it's only been a few days since I've
Speaker 1: watched this one, it already only exists in my mind
Speaker 1: under the.
Speaker 4: File Kirk Cameron eats a couch. Wow.
Speaker 1: But with that in mind, You Lucky Dog, Believe it
Speaker 1: or Not is Emmy nominated.
Speaker 4: Can you guess? For what?
Speaker 2: Nobo?
Speaker 4: Do you want to guess?
Speaker 1: The original song heard in the opening Togetherness was nominated
Speaker 1: for the Outstanding Music and Lyrics Emmy. It is from
Speaker 1: composer David Michael Frank and singer Todd Smallwood and is
Speaker 1: really just a huge attempt to rip off Brandy Newman.
Speaker 1: Also worth noting, on its six day of shooting, fifty
Speaker 1: crew members of You Lucky Dog walked off the set
Speaker 1: as a protest for union membership. Two hours later, and
Speaker 1: after some tense negotiations, filming resumed with full union status
Speaker 1: for the crew members. So hey, that's good news. Something
Speaker 1: good came out of it. The movie is currently on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, so go watch it now before we get
Speaker 1: into it, or watch it while you're listening to us talk.
Speaker 1: But that's going to get very very confusing, so we
Speaker 1: don't suggest that you do that. Sabrina I ask this
Speaker 1: every time. Were you aware that You Lucky Dog existed
Speaker 1: before we were told about it for this podcast?
Speaker 3: No, but I think it was right in the notes
Speaker 3: that Kurt Cameron was a part of it.
Speaker 2: I loved him on Growing Pain.
Speaker 3: So I was actually super excited to watch this movie.
Speaker 4: And yeah, you know, I could.
Speaker 3: I it was. It was a rough one for me
Speaker 3: to get through. I kind of dazed out quite a bit.
Speaker 3: My Sabrina sees I will see tell you guys right
Speaker 3: from the start, they're a little disappointing because they're.
Speaker 4: Not really because we didn't see much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't see much. I feel like blurred vision
Speaker 3: for a lot of this. Unfortunately, this is a good
Speaker 3: time to talk about the fact.
Speaker 1: I think we've mentioned it before that we do know
Speaker 1: Sabrina and I do not get together and select which
Speaker 1: movies are gonna watch. We decided that at the beginning,
Speaker 1: we all decided that at the beginning that it would
Speaker 1: be fun if we had other people kind of picking
Speaker 1: for us to see what's gonna come, what's not gonna come.
Speaker 1: And I like our producers a little bit less after
Speaker 1: they decided.
Speaker 2: You're going do you just want to ruin my week here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lucky, well, but we do want to see the
Speaker 3: good and the the amazing, and we want to see
Speaker 3: off the train wrecks, and we want to see whatever
Speaker 3: this one is category.
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not sure what it is.
Speaker 4: Here's a perfect example.
Speaker 1: As you can tell, I'm once again here in my
Speaker 1: childhood bedroom explaining to my parents that I had to
Speaker 1: come up here and record, telling them all about d
Speaker 1: COM's and everything, and so to show them the difference,
Speaker 1: I put on the opening scene and then dance scene
Speaker 1: of the first Descendants movie.
Speaker 4: They loved it. So you never know what's gonna happen,
Speaker 4: what's not gonna happen. But here we go.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Sit, get off the couch. It's
Speaker 1: time to look at the movie synopsis. An old man
Speaker 1: surprisingly decides to leave his fortune to his dog and
Speaker 1: a man who says he can read the dog's mind.
Speaker 4: Yes, he is a mind reading pet psychiatrist.
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about our early thoughts already, not
Speaker 1: our favorites going in either way.
Speaker 4: This was a rough go for me. I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: totally honest with you saying you'd already said it's roight.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to It's rough.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, as we stated earlier, the movie stars Kirk Cameron
Speaker 1: as a now grown up child prodigy who has become
Speaker 1: a slacker named Jack Morgan. Cameron in real life was,
Speaker 1: of course an eighties heart throb, first entering collective consciousness
Speaker 1: on Growing Pains, but he was no stranger to Disney
Speaker 1: by this point. He'd already appeared in Beyond Which Mountain
Speaker 1: for the studio and a few after school specials, and
Speaker 1: of course, his sister Candice Cameron became one of the
Speaker 1: stars of the seminal TGIF hit Full House.
Speaker 4: She was also on Boy Mets.
Speaker 1: World, You Know, Big Family. Kirk would turn his early
Speaker 1: TV stardom into movies like Best of Times and Like
Speaker 1: Fatherlike Son, and his own sitcom Kirk but has since
Speaker 1: left traditional Hollywood to focus on faith based projects that
Speaker 1: he produces and sometimes writes, most notably the Left Behind series.
Speaker 1: Chelsea Noble plays attorney Alison Taylor, Jack's eventual love interest,
Speaker 1: and Noble is Kirk Cameron's real life wife. They met
Speaker 1: on the set of Growing Pains, which she guest starred
Speaker 1: on for twenty two episodes, and have been together ever since.
Speaker 1: The actress also appeared on Full House, Seinfeldt, Who's the Boss,
Speaker 1: and Doogie Howser, and has since almost exclusively only worked
Speaker 1: on projects that Kirk is involved in, including.
Speaker 4: Three of the Left Behind movies.
Speaker 1: The rest of the cast is mostly made up of
Speaker 1: seasoned veteran TV actors that you may recognize from a
Speaker 1: few episodes of this and a few episodes of that.
Speaker 1: But let's point out a few of them here. First up,
Speaker 1: love him so much and even in this movie he
Speaker 1: was funny. I am all in on Taylor Negron. I
Speaker 1: always have been. I think he's great. He is a
Speaker 1: comedian who came up alongside Robin Williams, Martin Short and
Speaker 1: David Letterman who is mostly known as mister Pizza Guy
Speaker 1: in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but he was also
Speaker 1: seen in One Crazy Summer, Awesome Moving, Nothing but Trouble,
Speaker 1: and Easy Money. Negron was a legend in the comedy scene,
Speaker 1: and he unfortunately passed away in twenty fifteen of liver
Speaker 1: cancer at just fifty seven years old. Everything you see
Speaker 1: him in is really funny, except go see The Last
Speaker 1: Boy Scout, where he plays one of the main bad guys,
Speaker 1: and he's great. Another great actor who was also good
Speaker 1: in this with the material he was given.
Speaker 4: James Avery plays driver Calvin Bridge's favorite uncle exactly.
Speaker 1: He is, as Sabrina just pointed out Sitcom Royalty as
Speaker 1: Philip Banks on the long running show The Fresh Prince
Speaker 1: of bel Air, and was also the voice uh so cool,
Speaker 1: so cool, so cool, the voice of Shredder on the
Speaker 1: original teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
Speaker 2: I don't know so how I didn't recognize that.
Speaker 4: I didn't either, an I am an animation nerd. So cool,
Speaker 4: so cool.
Speaker 1: He also unfortunately passed away in twenty thirteen at the
Speaker 1: young age of sixty eight. This movie runs eighty eight minutes,
Speaker 1: which is so close to the bullseye yet so far,
Speaker 1: and is, in my opinion, eighty seven minutes too long.
Speaker 1: It's directed by Paul Schneider, a man that we have
Speaker 1: mentioned here before since he directed Andrew Barber in The Leftovers.
Speaker 1: He would also direct another dcom Can of Worms and
Speaker 1: TV shows like Baywatch and La Law. It is written
Speaker 1: by a bit of a squad of writers which we
Speaker 1: have seen sometimes. First up, we've got David Kovel, who
Speaker 1: got script and story credit. This is just one of
Speaker 1: two credits to his name. The other is a movie
Speaker 1: called The Legend of Gator Face. Don't know what that is,
Speaker 1: but oh man, am I going to be watching that soon.
Speaker 1: The other two writers are Peter Bailoff and David Woolert,
Speaker 1: a team who in the past road on night Rider
Speaker 1: they Came from Outer Space, and a TV movie called
Speaker 1: quicksand No Escape. It is also worth pointing out, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody else is going to notice as too
Speaker 1: as they want.
Speaker 4: The movie this is.
Speaker 1: A very very rare dcom where there is not a
Speaker 1: kid as a lead or even a supporting character. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's got her daughter who comes in for maybe a scene,
Speaker 1: but there's no kids anywhere in this movie.
Speaker 3: I noticed that, and I think it's less than five
Speaker 3: minutes that she's a part of the movie.
Speaker 1: Like in the entire film. This is not a movie
Speaker 1: for kids, the bye kids with kids. It's so different
Speaker 1: than we're used to. Yes, we already talked about whether
Speaker 1: or not you felt close to an animal, but do
Speaker 1: you think if you'd given more time, you could have
Speaker 1: looked into Bandit's eyes and told Banded not to run
Speaker 1: away and Bandit would have listened to you?
Speaker 4: Or are you not a pet?
Speaker 3: Psychic.
Speaker 2: No, I am not a pet psychic.
Speaker 3: He had his own mind, his own agenda, his own
Speaker 3: little friends that he had to go in and check on.
Speaker 1: Apparently, my god, he's got his own I gotta go
Speaker 1: see my boo in.
Speaker 3: There was no getting around it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's get back into this. Well, it's a movie.
Speaker 1: The movie kicks off with a photomontage getting across about
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of exposition in just the length of the
Speaker 1: already mentioned Emmy nominated track Togetherness. We see that young
Speaker 1: Kirk Cameron Jack was a bit of a child prodigy story.
Speaker 1: He was well documented in his youth for being a
Speaker 1: dog psychic for a pet he adopted. He stunned scientists
Speaker 1: able to read the mind of his own canine. We're
Speaker 1: getting all this through like newspaper clippings and articles, and
Speaker 1: now he has caught the attention of an old man, tycoon,
Speaker 1: Clive windsor So. The problem is apparently that we set
Speaker 1: up early. Jack has lost the talent he had when
Speaker 1: he had hit puberty and he became a charlatan. He's
Speaker 1: pretending he still has the skill, even taking money from
Speaker 1: a poor couple who wants to know why their dog
Speaker 1: is eating so much. His business is flailing, and for
Speaker 1: a very good reason. He has just sound asleep through
Speaker 1: the therapy session, letting the pet in needs scarf down
Speaker 1: a hot dog. But just when he's about to lose
Speaker 1: his assistant has no upcoming appointments in the books. The
Speaker 1: couple that came with their dog catches him sleeping, threatens
Speaker 1: to call the mayor and have this stuff shut down.
Speaker 1: Nothing's going right for Jack. This is when Clive Windsor
Speaker 1: and his driver Calvin, arrive with a dog, Lucky, who
Speaker 1: was upset and agitated, so we should mention here. Lucky
Speaker 1: is played by dog actor Bogus, who was a Saint
Speaker 1: Bernard Golden Retriever mix. And Bogus was only in two movies,
Speaker 1: this one and then a year later The Minus Man,
Speaker 1: starring Owen Wilson and Sheryl Crow. He played beach dog
Speaker 1: in that one, which I think we all remember his
Speaker 1: performance for. Have you ever worked with animals?
Speaker 3: Yes, Toto in the movie with that lost down.
Speaker 4: To just a giant hole in the middle of giant hole.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I think unless I'm well, then we rode
Speaker 3: on an elephant.
Speaker 4: Okay, don't get too much right, don't get too much away.
Speaker 4: Well I figured but ummm.
Speaker 3: Atosh with the cam Okay colin in India as well.
Speaker 3: And I think other than that, I don't have a
Speaker 3: recollection of working working. Maybe a photo shoot or something
Speaker 3: like that, but honestly, not not much.
Speaker 2: The elephant was interesting. It was very stincting.
Speaker 4: I had a wild animal career. I've worked.
Speaker 1: I've worked with so many different animals. I've worked like
Speaker 1: dogs or no.
Speaker 4: I worked with dogs.
Speaker 1: So when I was on Nickelodeon, the Turner and Hooch
Speaker 1: dog from that movie actually came and did the thing
Speaker 1: we did with Tom Hanks, he put his mouth around
Speaker 1: my neck while I was laying on the ground. I've
Speaker 1: worked with monkeys, chimps, bears, what bears, smart dogs get Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had two different bears on Boy Met World.
Speaker 4: Dogs.
Speaker 1: Cats, Yeah, I worked with the monkey from Friends. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've worked with almost as many animals.
Speaker 4: As peacha geese. I had a lot of a lot
Speaker 4: of stuff. Spiders of its spiders do you like Oh?
Speaker 2: I would not do the spiders. Did you like it?
Speaker 1: How I did it for you depended on the animal
Speaker 1: that you know. If you get a giant dog, I'm
Speaker 1: a very happy guy. The monkeys were really funny. I
Speaker 1: got to play all day with a baby baboon, which
Speaker 1: was really really cool. It just hung around my neck
Speaker 1: all day and fell asleep. So I've gotten to do
Speaker 1: some cool stuff. The bear's a little scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and then remember what we found out with
Speaker 3: the monkeys from our our friend Brandon Baker.
Speaker 4: They just hit him right in the face exactly.
Speaker 2: Don't ever trust him to trusted one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: So yes, Windsor, the rich man wants Jack to help,
Speaker 1: and the fake therapist jumps right in. But remember he's
Speaker 1: faking now. So the talent faded away when he was fourteen,
Speaker 1: so how could he be of any help? Wait though,
Speaker 1: because out of nowhere, for the first time since he
Speaker 1: was a kid, Jack starts hearing a swooshing sound over
Speaker 1: and over while looking at the dog. He thinks he
Speaker 1: just needs some fresh air, but it's actually lucky. He's
Speaker 1: getting messages again. It has spooked him. And this is
Speaker 1: where I thought to myself, I wonder who's going to
Speaker 1: do the voice of the dog.
Speaker 2: Yes, same exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking I'm gonna hear this dog actually talking.
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 1: How do you not get some actor to come in
Speaker 1: and play the voice of the dog.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't because I think if it was a funny actor,
Speaker 3: especially with the great comedic ability and an awesome voice
Speaker 3: for a dog, it would be it would have been
Speaker 3: so much better and honestly, so much to it.
Speaker 4: I could not agree with you more.
Speaker 1: And I honestly thought when I saw the credits, I
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be Taylor Negron. I thought Taylor
Speaker 1: Negron was the voice of the dog. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so he's.
Speaker 4: Always going to be the voice.
Speaker 1: Yes, you have a dog that you can communicate with,
Speaker 1: and you don't put a voice to the dog.
Speaker 4: What the hell?
Speaker 1: It was so confusing too, I was like, what is
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 4: How do you not give the voice? Oh?
Speaker 3: It just made those moments super boring because it's you're
Speaker 3: just hearing a dog bark versus you know, Kurt Cameron,
Speaker 3: he's I mean, he as he did a great job
Speaker 3: in so many ways, working with what little that he had,
Speaker 3: you know, and.
Speaker 4: Ran into the wall full speed.
Speaker 3: He yes, he did, he did, and and so but
Speaker 3: him being able to work off of another's actor's voice
Speaker 3: I think would have just made this movie just thing
Speaker 3: some scene things exactly they did.
Speaker 4: They did, look who's talking and didn't give the baby
Speaker 4: a voice? Like what is the point of that? Like,
Speaker 4: why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense anyway.
Speaker 4: John quickly gives Lucky back to old band Windsor.
Speaker 1: He wants nothing to do with this, but not before
Speaker 1: getting one message from the dog through to Jack, which
Speaker 1: is he's worried about you and there's hostility from three
Speaker 1: people in your own home. This is the first time
Speaker 1: where I was like, why wouldn't he want this power back?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you want the power back?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: This, well you didn't understand. I think when we get
Speaker 3: down the line a little bit longer.
Speaker 4: They explain it.
Speaker 3: Kind of they explained it, but it was just it
Speaker 3: was kind of bizarre. Isn't this what this whole movie's about?
Speaker 3: And you're turning away this dog get it?
Speaker 1: At this point I was like, Oh, I hope they
Speaker 1: just roll the credits. But they we still have like
Speaker 1: eighty six minutes left. Yes, this message, of course means
Speaker 1: a great deal to Windsor, who now understands what's bothering
Speaker 1: Lucky and is very impressed with Jack's gift. But that
Speaker 1: doesn't stop an angry customer from the past, the people
Speaker 1: we saw in the beginning getting the pet office shut
Speaker 1: down for fraud. Two weeks later, and as his staff
Speaker 1: is being repossessed, he's saved again when Windsor's driver, Calvin Bridges, returns.
Speaker 1: He reveals that Windsor passed away and now Jack is
Speaker 1: needed the estate for something with the dog.
Speaker 4: You don't know what.
Speaker 1: Jack is hesitant, but Calvin says it might be detrimental
Speaker 1: for him to attend. Then we cut to the meeting
Speaker 1: that Jack's on his way to. It's in the Windsor
Speaker 1: Castle and the reading of an old man's will. The
Speaker 1: beautiful blonde lawyer, who of course is played by Kirk
Speaker 1: Cameron's real life wife, is there with his only living heirs,
Speaker 1: his pompous, sniveling nephews, Reuben and Lyle, and is just
Speaker 1: as gross niece ponsk Margaret. They've been left basically nothing.
Speaker 1: There's a sixty four million dollar estate. They're stunned. Who's
Speaker 1: getting all this money. It's the dog, Lucky, and as
Speaker 1: the relatives are removed by security, we see Jack the
Speaker 1: dog therapist arrive. He is told he's going to be
Speaker 1: executor of the will and involved in taking care of
Speaker 1: the dog's finances. Now, this is something we should say
Speaker 1: and let people know this is something that actually does
Speaker 1: happen in real life. I think her name is Majel
Speaker 1: Barrett Roddenberry, who's the wife of creator of Star Trek
Speaker 1: Gene Roddenberry, left four million dollars to her dogs and
Speaker 1: a million to their caretaker, and real estate tycoon Leona
Speaker 1: Helmsley left twelve million to her Maltese because of course
Speaker 1: the Maltese meets twelve million dollars. Forget people that can't eat. Now,
Speaker 1: did you know this was the thing as we were
Speaker 1: watching the movie, I knew this was the thing where
Speaker 1: people are actually leaving their dogs millions dogs.
Speaker 3: I kind of I did not know it was actually
Speaker 3: a legitimate thing that you could do. I do have
Speaker 3: of people that I've come across within the industry that
Speaker 3: are very I believe the creator of the Cheetah Girls
Speaker 3: book franchise would absolutely leave lots of money for her dog.
Speaker 2: She's got a dog that she is just it is
Speaker 2: her baby.
Speaker 3: So I do have I have come across people that
Speaker 3: you you go, I could see them doing that if
Speaker 3: it was a real thing.
Speaker 2: I didn't know it was an actual, real thing you
Speaker 2: could do.
Speaker 4: It's a real thing. Yep.
Speaker 3: That leaves me with so many questions on how to
Speaker 3: I know how and how that plays out?
Speaker 1: And hay to keep the dog alive and healthy and safe,
Speaker 1: totally get that, Like make sure that whoever takes care
Speaker 1: of my dog doesn't have to pay a dime for
Speaker 1: this dog. And yeah, I'm gonna take those twelve So
Speaker 1: I wasn' gonna leave the dog twelve million dollars. How
Speaker 1: about five hundred thousand dollars take care of the dog
Speaker 1: and eleven point five million to charity?
Speaker 4: There you go. Yes, that sounds nice.
Speaker 3: Right, that is the start of aristocrats though the cartoon
Speaker 3: Disney movie Oh yeah, Woman with her Will, that's right,
Speaker 3: that with Monreel.
Speaker 4: Oh jeez, that's a tough one. Obviously. The family is furious.
Speaker 1: They even try to attack Jack, who is more impressed
Speaker 1: with Alice and the lawyer. She explains the situation to him.
Speaker 1: He will oversee the trust as Lucky's legal voice in
Speaker 1: all matters for spending, and he will live in the
Speaker 1: mansion with him, and he gets Calvin as a driver
Speaker 1: and maids and is a life of luxury all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Yes, since he's basically a con man as
Speaker 1: a therapist and needs the money, I now thought the
Speaker 1: movie was going to go to Okay, He's going to
Speaker 1: spend lavishly on himself, forget the dog. He's going to
Speaker 1: make his own life choices. And that is not at
Speaker 1: all what happens. What does happen is Jack starts itching
Speaker 1: his ear like a dog would, right at the same
Speaker 1: time that Lucky does the same thing, and he tastes
Speaker 1: leather in his mouth right when Lucky is snacking on
Speaker 1: a boot.
Speaker 4: Weird.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Jack is now the master of the manor, he's
Speaker 1: lord of the castle, and he is rich, rich, very rich,
Speaker 1: and jumping all over.
Speaker 4: The place, super excited.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we cut to the family members who are talking
Speaker 1: to a lawyer. They want this fixed, and the lawyer's
Speaker 1: aim mister fister, We've been talking about this forever. We
Speaker 1: mentioned this as the top decom name, possibly of all time.
Speaker 2: We met him, now we met him, No, mister Fist.
Speaker 2: He is a very weird man, mister Fister.
Speaker 4: It's just the best.
Speaker 1: The family is now forced to stay in a disgusting
Speaker 1: motel and they have no belongings they are broke. They
Speaker 1: need to show that Jack is mentally unstable to get
Speaker 1: the inheritance, and mister Fister tourney Fister thinks he can
Speaker 1: do it, but once thirty percent of the fortune, which
Speaker 1: of course is not at all how legal fees work.
Speaker 1: But anyway, they say it's way too much, so instead
Speaker 1: they're going to take matters in their own hands. But
Speaker 1: back in the mansion, Jack is still getting messages from
Speaker 1: Lucky like I want to go outside, I want to
Speaker 1: eat that kind of thing. It is now official, the
Speaker 1: gift is back. This is where we now learn there
Speaker 1: is a catch to this gift and why he did
Speaker 1: not want to have the gift in the first place,
Speaker 1: and that's because it can get really really bad if
Speaker 1: Lucky gets over it. Ex he needs a dog to
Speaker 1: stay calm, because if he doesn't, Jack essentially turns into Lucky.
Speaker 2: And having a dog behavior exactly like.
Speaker 1: Him, which again would have made more sense and been
Speaker 1: funnier had the dog also had a voice. Meanwhile, the
Speaker 1: maids see him talking to the dog and already start
Speaker 1: to think he's nuts. Lucky starts wildly barking he wants
Speaker 1: to dig up a bone, and then this triggers Jack
Speaker 1: to become an animal himself. He starts digging feverishly alongside
Speaker 1: the dog, and he's doing the exact same move. He
Speaker 1: also deepens his voice to speak for Lucky, which had
Speaker 1: real serial killer vibes. But this really scared off the maids. Duh,
Speaker 1: and where we learn that it's just the talent gets
Speaker 1: out of hand with too much emotion. Did this make
Speaker 1: sense to you the whole little then he turns into
Speaker 1: a dog.
Speaker 3: I didn't have as much of an issue with this part,
Speaker 3: especially because it did answer my question why you know
Speaker 3: so at that point I didn't my issues come after
Speaker 3: with everything else back, Well, how he gets back to normal?
Speaker 1: He just kind of wake up, wakes up like he
Speaker 1: had a coke binge night or something like that.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not this, I'm giving way one of the
Speaker 3: very few Sabrina seas that I have.
Speaker 2: But here we go.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not consecutive, it's not the same
Speaker 3: every time, it's just randomly he's back into not being Lucky.
Speaker 2: The first time is waking up after the long night and.
Speaker 4: Then like a headache, like he's hung over.
Speaker 3: Yes, And then we see it again as we're coming
Speaker 3: up and we'll go we'll, i'll you know, stop it.
Speaker 3: Then again at that point, but yeah, then the next
Speaker 3: time isn't from a sleep, it's just he just clicks
Speaker 3: out of it.
Speaker 1: Well, and the one time, I think Calvin just says Jack,
Speaker 1: wake up, like get out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he's all of a sudden, Yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: In the back of the car. He's in the back
Speaker 2: of the limo. He just nothing.
Speaker 3: So it didn't make sense to know when he was
Speaker 3: You knew when he was going to probably jump into it.
Speaker 3: You didn't know what it was that made him kind
Speaker 3: of wake up from this right spell type thing.
Speaker 1: This is a good time to say I have been
Speaker 1: and I think you're better at this than I am.
Speaker 4: You're way better at this than I am.
Speaker 1: But I have been really actively trying to watch these
Speaker 1: movies how they're supposed to be watched. Yeah, as a kid,
Speaker 1: And I think if I watched this as an eleven
Speaker 1: year old kid, I still would have hated it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I the whole time was going this movie because
Speaker 3: it's so outlandish. Unlike so many of our other D coms,
Speaker 3: it felt very young and not a teenage mind a
Speaker 3: six or seven year old mindset.
Speaker 2: Of what you would need to accept it.
Speaker 4: But then do that make it a Disney movie.
Speaker 1: Make the lead a nine year old girl a ten
Speaker 1: year old boy who can talk to dogs and turns
Speaker 1: into dogs and inherits the money, then it's a great dcom. Right,
Speaker 1: then it's Richie rich meets dog World kind.
Speaker 2: Of totally totally do that.
Speaker 3: But this was it didn't seem it was not of
Speaker 3: our normal D coms in the sense of targeting our
Speaker 3: normal target.
Speaker 1: It was a very strange I didn't know who the
Speaker 1: kids watching this movie were supposed to connect with, right,
Speaker 1: they would have connected with the dog if it got
Speaker 1: a funny, wacky voice.
Speaker 2: But he oh yeah, absolutely, but he did.
Speaker 1: Jack and the dog spend the evening going wild. This
Speaker 1: is after he's now turned into the dog. They spend
Speaker 1: the evening going wild, eating a couch together, leaves Kirk
Speaker 1: with a ton of feathers in his mouth, barking on
Speaker 1: all fours, running around and howling at the moon.
Speaker 4: Oh here's some useless trivia.
Speaker 1: By the way, Cameron actually had to wear elbow and
Speaker 1: knee pads while filming to be able to run around
Speaker 1: like a dog.
Speaker 3: Do you know when I read this, I was like,
Speaker 3: of course he did the whole time. I'm going this
Speaker 3: poor guy, Yeah, running around constantly on his knees and
Speaker 3: hands like that was rough because it was out in
Speaker 3: cement and in the mall. I mean it was everywhere.
Speaker 3: It wasn't just on that would have been so painful.
Speaker 3: I do not I've done that.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I barely can get on my knees to play with Monroe.
Speaker 3: I'm like, can we sit?
Speaker 2: Can we let's bring this up.
Speaker 4: To the table.
Speaker 1: Let'll do something else. I feel the same way. I
Speaker 1: hurt myself this morning. Waking up the next morning, Jack
Speaker 1: is back to human, but now hungover from being a dog.
Speaker 1: He's surrounded by destroyed furniture and toys and begging Lucky
Speaker 1: not to let this happen again. But he's also still
Speaker 1: bothered by Lucky's disposition.
Speaker 4: Well what's bothering him?
Speaker 1: We see a small flashback with his now diseased owner,
Speaker 1: mister Windsor, where Lucky convinces his human to walk in
Speaker 1: the rain, but they get outside and that's when Windsor
Speaker 1: goes ill and dies. We see Lucky then very sadly
Speaker 1: standing above him and barking in the rain.
Speaker 4: Really sad.
Speaker 1: It was so sad it was back in current day,
Speaker 1: Jack tells him it wasn't his fault and to hold
Speaker 1: onto good memories. But this doesn't help Lucky. He's not
Speaker 1: even eating, so it's time to change up some scenery.
Speaker 1: So hey, Lucky, where do you want to go? He
Speaker 1: wants to go where every dog obviously wants to go.
Speaker 1: The park, the beach, No, the mall. Lucky is so
Speaker 1: excit to go to the mall, like all dogs are.
Speaker 1: That it triggers Jack again, and now they're both acting
Speaker 1: like wild pets. Out for a drive with Calvin.
Speaker 4: Can we believe? Okay?
Speaker 1: Kirk Cameron found this script and apparently spent years trying
Speaker 1: to get this made. At this point in the car,
Speaker 1: he's itching himself with his foot behind his ear, yelling,
Speaker 1: oh Susannah, And now we can say what you want
Speaker 1: about the script in the movie, and it's not good.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sugarcoat Kirk Cameron. We said he
Speaker 1: swings for the fences. He's really giving it his all.
Speaker 1: He's not phoning it in is he is trying to
Speaker 1: make this work. In all fairness to Kirk camra and correct.
Speaker 3: Me if I'm wrong, But I don't remember of the
Speaker 3: things that he's done, seeing him as a big character actor.
Speaker 4: No like a Jim Carrey, as like.
Speaker 3: A big comedy character type actor. So this was for
Speaker 3: him and he went.
Speaker 4: For it, you know, he did. He did, and that
Speaker 4: might have been it.
Speaker 1: You could be one hundred percent right where it's He was, Hey,
Speaker 1: I get to do wacky kind of physical comedy that
Speaker 1: I never got a chance to do, and it's for kids.
Speaker 1: He obviously when he got into the Christian world he
Speaker 1: wanted to do more wholesome things, which I have no
Speaker 1: problem with that whatsoever. So he wanted to make a
Speaker 1: wholesome kind of disneynes movie. But to then say the
Speaker 1: dog has no voice and we're not gonna have kids
Speaker 1: in it. I just don't know where you where you're
Speaker 1: supposed to go with this, Like what was the point?
Speaker 2: Ye?
Speaker 1: So, but yes, Kirk Cameron giving it his all, his
Speaker 1: awe as Jack and the dog.
Speaker 4: Bark out the window like the dogs they are.
Speaker 1: The family members, the evil Ponds Gum family members pull
Speaker 1: up alongside him and try to get video of it
Speaker 1: to prove that he's a total maniac, but they crashed
Speaker 1: into another car. Meanwhile, the ginormous nineteen nineties video camera
Speaker 1: that Taylor Negron is holding. Unfortunately, he plays a wacky,
Speaker 1: bumbling guy.
Speaker 4: He did not put in any tape into the shot.
Speaker 4: That camera camera.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish I had more memories of my dad
Speaker 3: with a camera like that.
Speaker 2: I was my young dad had that camera.
Speaker 4: I had that camera. That was your dad.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it would be if I ask, how
Speaker 3: how old is your dad? Oh, he was born in
Speaker 3: forty eight, so he's okay, seventy What is that?
Speaker 2: No, seventy he was born forty eight.
Speaker 4: Okay. I was afraid you were going to be like,
Speaker 4: he's fifty two, Like, oh god.
Speaker 3: He's in his seventies. But you would not know because
Speaker 3: that guy looks amazing. Shout out dad, Shout out dad
Speaker 3: in your giant.
Speaker 2: Camera, with your big old camera.
Speaker 1: Eventually Jack snaps out of his dog Cooma, and they're
Speaker 1: at the mall. Jack and Lucky have a real pretty
Speaker 1: woman moment with a salesman in the furniture department when
Speaker 1: the worker says the dog must get off the sofa. Instead,
Speaker 1: Lucky spends thousands of dollars by buying five couches to
Speaker 1: be delivered the next day.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of couches.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of couches.
Speaker 4: At the same.
Speaker 1: Time, you just wanted the voice of the dog to go.
Speaker 1: You just made a big mistake.
Speaker 4: Cure just do a whole pretty woman thing. But there
Speaker 4: was no voice.
Speaker 3: But the dog does have The little head nod that
Speaker 3: the dog does to is so cute.
Speaker 2: It really is a door I had a voice to
Speaker 2: its great, I know, I know, I agree.
Speaker 1: He also bought a ton of shoes to eat and
Speaker 1: dog toys to play with, which includes a great, of
Speaker 1: course pet Co promotional moment. But it's still confusing that
Speaker 1: Jack isn't buying anything for himself. He's earnestly acting as
Speaker 1: the dog's trustee, which kind of goes against the character
Speaker 1: that they set up for him where he's a charlatan
Speaker 1: he deserves some of the money. But and so, how
Speaker 1: is this not the movie? How do you not take
Speaker 1: this movie either? If you're going to keep it Kirk Cameron,
Speaker 1: then give the dog a voice and make Kirk Cameron
Speaker 1: spending money the way he wants to, and it's the
Speaker 1: dog trying to pull him back like this is my money.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could have a great, essentially buddy comedy
Speaker 1: between the dog and Kirk Cameron or you make him
Speaker 1: a kid and you do you play it like this,
Speaker 1: but it was very strange the way they went. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't know how they didn't do that. Then
Speaker 1: he falls in love with the dog and he gives
Speaker 1: the money back.
Speaker 4: They do. They could have done anything anyway it needed
Speaker 4: to rewrite.
Speaker 1: Jack does meet back up with somebody who's going to
Speaker 1: be even more important in the film, and that's the
Speaker 1: attractive and divorced.
Speaker 4: Lawyer Alison, who's with her daughter. Hey a kid.
Speaker 1: A love story is slowly brewing here. But then he
Speaker 1: has a dog attack, which we can call it, right
Speaker 1: in front of her. Lucky smells Wanton chicken from Wanton
Speaker 1: Tommy's in the food court, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know that, but is just a Tommy Burger with
Speaker 1: Wanton added to the sign.
Speaker 4: Okay, Tommy Burger.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's anywhere else in the country,
Speaker 1: but in LA we have Tommy Burger, yes, especially at
Speaker 1: the time, and they just covered burger and made it
Speaker 1: Wanton Tommy's.
Speaker 2: I did not recognize that, but okay.
Speaker 1: They both become they freak out, both Lucky and Jack.
Speaker 1: They both pig out, bearing their faces into plates. Fighting
Speaker 1: over the crust, he goes full dog, this time, eventually
Speaker 1: getting kicked out by security. But luckily Alison did not
Speaker 1: see the worst parts of this. She left early. Sabrina,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this most serious question I've ever
Speaker 1: asked you in my entire life. Could you date a
Speaker 1: dog man?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: A dog means it's a dog man?
Speaker 1: Could you date a guy who clearly turns into a
Speaker 1: dog when he gets too excited with other dogs around?
Speaker 4: A dog man?
Speaker 3: Sabrina question, I would have turned real quick when he
Speaker 3: was in front of the Tommy Wong Kong place and
Speaker 3: doing his hips the tail wagging that that would have
Speaker 3: I'm done.
Speaker 2: I'm done.
Speaker 4: So your red flag is tail wagging. It's good. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's good. That's good to know, Sabrina's red flag.
Speaker 3: This will be over, this podcast will be Nolan Void, mister,
Speaker 3: will you start wag my tail?
Speaker 4: I may occasionally go, but I will not wag my tail,
Speaker 4: I promise you. All right.
Speaker 2: Sounds good.
Speaker 4: So we're back at the mansion now.
Speaker 1: Lucky's a ton of stuff, turning the place into a
Speaker 1: pet dream house, and niece Margaret arrives to quote unquote
Speaker 1: discuss business with Jack. He immediately goes into dog attack
Speaker 1: with her because he's so happy to dig bones and
Speaker 1: even thrust his body at her and eventually just attacks.
Speaker 1: The acting is insane. We're not gonna keep talking about this.
Speaker 1: He's just he's going for it. Kirk is just far
Speaker 1: too scary as a rabbit dog and the voice he's
Speaker 1: using again is insane.
Speaker 4: I want to remind you one last time, this was
Speaker 4: nominated for an Emmy again, it was for the music.
Speaker 1: Jack doesn't want Alison the lawyer to find out about
Speaker 1: his dog transformations, and Lucky is still so sad about
Speaker 1: mister Windsor. Lucky, though, convinces Jack to let him sleep
Speaker 1: in the bed with him. And then that night the
Speaker 1: three family members break in. Okay, they turn off the alarm,
Speaker 1: the lights, and they set up that they want to
Speaker 1: shoot the dog with tranquilizer guns to get rid of
Speaker 1: the dog. Okay, so they point out, here are the
Speaker 1: tranquilizer darts. They're very powerful.
Speaker 4: Shoot the dog. Great.
Speaker 1: Jack and Lucky wake up from their share bed and
Speaker 1: the nieces and nephews are bumbling around the house and
Speaker 1: shooting each other with the tranquilizer darts multiple times and nothing.
Speaker 2: Happens, And nothing's happening.
Speaker 4: Nothing happens. It's they try to go home alone.
Speaker 1: And remember in old school when he shoot himself, you
Speaker 1: just shot yourself in the neck.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the.
Speaker 1: Dark doesn't affect them at all, like maybe their arm
Speaker 1: goes a little numb, but they're shooting.
Speaker 4: She gets shot like.
Speaker 1: Three times in the butt with a tranquilizer dark and nothing.
Speaker 3: So, how is this supposed to do anything to a
Speaker 3: fairly big size it's a big dog. Yeah, how is
Speaker 3: this supposed to do a thing?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 4: I it did nothing?
Speaker 3: No, And I felt that this whole scene of them
Speaker 3: doing being in the house went on for so ever wrong.
Speaker 3: It just kept going and nothing, you know, I mean
Speaker 3: the big culmination of going you know, ou out of
Speaker 3: the window into the pool.
Speaker 2: I it just was And I'm going, where's Jane Savor?
Speaker 2: Where he? Where did he go? He was downstairs the bone,
Speaker 2: but he didn't see any of them. The house didn't
Speaker 2: look that big, you know where. They kept running into
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 1: Her Cameron Jack is staring right at them at one point, yes,
Speaker 1: and then later says.
Speaker 4: I heard them but didn't see them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how how you're looking at him. You've seen them before.
Speaker 3: If they were for him to just say, oh, I
Speaker 3: think it's that those three random uh family members, that
Speaker 3: would be one thing. But you've seen them before, you
Speaker 3: would recognize them absolutely multiple times.
Speaker 4: At this point it needs no sense.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Lucky and Jack as the dog run them out and
Speaker 1: to their fountain, leading the family back to the greatest
Speaker 1: named character of all time, mister Fister, who now in
Speaker 1: another legal cunning move, wants fifty percent to help them
Speaker 1: again not how legal fees work. They agree this time,
Speaker 1: and of course there's a dig about lawyers being scum
Speaker 1: as the son of two lawyers.
Speaker 4: Those always irk me.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Alison rushes to the house and alerts Jack that
Speaker 1: the family heirrs are all over the TV setting up
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Jack for taking advantage of the elderly
Speaker 1: and being a scam artist. And as the court case approaches,
Speaker 1: Jack decides to keep his connection to Lucky a secret
Speaker 1: from Alison, and since she's his lawyer who will be
Speaker 1: defending him, he can't look crazy because that won't be helpful.
Speaker 4: This is also time to.
Speaker 1: Point out that we've not that we needed to, but
Speaker 1: you figure there'd be at least one joke about the
Speaker 1: dog having a peer pooh and Kirk Cameron having your
Speaker 1: Kirk Cameron raising his leg or something.
Speaker 4: But I don't know if it's a good thing or
Speaker 4: bad thing. I think probably a good thing that had
Speaker 4: never happened anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is funny that there's nothing nothing they do.
Speaker 1: The one thing where he tells them, well, he doesn't
Speaker 1: tell him because there's no voice, but turn your back,
Speaker 1: you know, Kirk Cameron shouldn't watch him while he goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so now we jump right into the court case because
Speaker 1: of course we figured this would end in the court drama. Yes,
Speaker 1: for some reason, where a ton of characters are seen
Speaker 1: throughout the movie are now on the stand. All of
Speaker 1: the last episode of Seinfeld telling stories about what they've
Speaker 1: seen from Jack. The angry pet therapy customer from the
Speaker 1: beginning talks about him being a liar. The maids talk
Speaker 1: about what they saw in the yard with the bone,
Speaker 1: the police who've been in the house saw Jack eating
Speaker 1: out of a garbage can, and even our limo driver
Speaker 1: Calvin had to admit under oath that he's seen Jack
Speaker 1: act like a dog. He didn't want to because he
Speaker 1: and Jack had become friends, and he knows he's living
Speaker 1: a better life in the mansion, but under oath, he.
Speaker 4: Had to tell the truth right.
Speaker 1: The family lies and overreacts and makes Jack seem like
Speaker 1: a total monster. This isn't looking good, but it's time
Speaker 1: for Jack to take the stand like you do. Jack
Speaker 1: admits on the stand that he was lying about his
Speaker 1: previous power, that he did have it, but that it
Speaker 1: went away, but now it's back and he actually can
Speaker 1: read Lucky's mind. Attorney Fister asks what the dog is
Speaker 1: thinking right now, and Jack says he wants to eat
Speaker 1: the lawyer's shoes. Everyone laughs, but they still think so
Speaker 1: it's bs the family's going to get everything of mister Windsor's.
Speaker 4: They're even gonna get Lucky.
Speaker 1: We find out they would get the dog too, which
Speaker 1: is strange because they wouldn't want him, which makes Jack furious.
Speaker 1: They can take the money, they can take the house,
Speaker 1: but they can't take Lucky. So he begs Alison to
Speaker 1: put him on the stand again, so like you do
Speaker 1: in most courtrooms, he can transfer into the dog again
Speaker 1: to prove that he's not crazy, which is a terrible
Speaker 1: plan because technically that just proves that you're crazy.
Speaker 4: Jack takes the stand.
Speaker 1: Things aren't coming together immediately, so when mister Fister starts
Speaker 1: to erupt saying this is the proof they need to
Speaker 1: win the case, Lucky gets very mad. That excitement leads
Speaker 1: Jack back to Dogtown, completely mimicking the pets. Actually, the
Speaker 1: choreography between Kirk and the dog at this point is
Speaker 1: kind of great. They're both like turning their head at
Speaker 1: the same time. It's the only time it really kind
Speaker 1: of happens during the movie.
Speaker 3: They're completely in sync with each other. Right, It's good.
Speaker 3: It was good, and that part worked again. Would have
Speaker 3: been better if the dog had a voice. So Jack
Speaker 3: faces one way while Lucky faces the other towards mister Fister.
Speaker 3: Fister is told to hold out an object for the
Speaker 3: dog that Jack can't see, but Jack has to say
Speaker 3: what it is, proving he's the actual voice for what
Speaker 3: the dog is seeing.
Speaker 4: He nails it every time. It's a pen, it's whatever.
Speaker 4: And now.
Speaker 1: They give a great closing argument to the judge about
Speaker 1: living their life to the fullest when you can.
Speaker 4: But so Jack, I'm trying to explain this horribleness.
Speaker 1: Jack is saying what the dog is thinking in a
Speaker 1: weird serial killer voice again about living your life to
Speaker 1: the fullest, and all of a sudden, in the middle
Speaker 1: of that, the dog remembers that it was actually the
Speaker 1: main nephew who killed mister Windsor by spiking his drink
Speaker 1: with poison.
Speaker 4: What a twist. The truth is exposed, forcing nephew Lyle
Speaker 4: to somehow pull out.
Speaker 1: The gun he got in court, So now he's also armed,
Speaker 1: which he went to court with a gun for some
Speaker 1: reason and got it.
Speaker 3: Still trying to at this point figure out how it was.
Speaker 3: What did he actually kill him with? They did really
Speaker 3: show him putting it in, though.
Speaker 1: They did, they did it, And and the bottle literally
Speaker 1: says poison.
Speaker 2: Poison, Yes, okay, you're right, yep, okay.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 1: It's not it, there's it, doesn't It just says poison'd
Speaker 1: like you do on a on a regular bottle. And
Speaker 1: like like any other normal court case, if you look
Speaker 1: at a bag of evidence.
Speaker 4: The wrong way, it's thrown out of court.
Speaker 1: But of course the dog Kirk Cameron speaking for the dog,
Speaker 1: completely admissible, yes, just unbelievable. But the truth is exposed.
Speaker 1: He pulls out the gun he got into court. The
Speaker 1: relatives make a break for it, and they would have
Speaker 1: gotten away with it. Two if it wasn't for that
Speaker 1: pesky dog. Lucky attacks and appears to get shot in
Speaker 1: the process. Everyone is so scared the bad guys get
Speaker 1: taken away. Who knows what's gonna happen to this puff?
Speaker 1: Is he okay? Did he make it?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: His name is Lucky. He was only grazed in the ear.
Speaker 1: The day is saved when Alison touches the dog's ear.
Speaker 1: It's Kirk Cameron's Jack who goes ow and everybody laughs
Speaker 1: because it's so funny when you sneak a gun into
Speaker 1: court and shoot a dog.
Speaker 4: Back at the mansion.
Speaker 1: Later on, Lucky has learned about pet adoption and is
Speaker 1: buying a ton of friends to live there. Too good,
Speaker 1: just go buy some friends. Dogs are taking up the
Speaker 1: entire grounds and Alison and her daughter are there, and
Speaker 1: Allison's daughter has been given a puppy too, and are
Speaker 1: possibly gonna move in, which seems very fast and early. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, unless you know this person backwards and forwards,
Speaker 1: do not give anyone a dog as a gift.
Speaker 4: It is a bad gift. You have to know them,
Speaker 4: discuss it.
Speaker 1: You're giving somebody a baby, for God's sakes, It's like, yeah, puppy,
Speaker 1: don't do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, people out there, I know that dogs
Speaker 1: aren't babies. I get it, but you're giving people a
Speaker 1: lot of responsibility.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of responsibility. It is.
Speaker 1: Don't give animals without knowing the person wants an animal,
Speaker 1: and certainly don't give a little girl a puppy without
Speaker 1: checking with her parents first.
Speaker 4: I mean, man, come on, Kirk Cameron. So it's all very.
Speaker 1: Weird and damaging, but that's it. We wrap it up
Speaker 1: with Jack given some big kisses to the good boys,
Speaker 1: and the once again Emmy nominated song Togetherness hits as
Speaker 1: Alison and Calvin look on shaking their head, and then
Speaker 1: end credits, and I just like to end by saying,
Speaker 1: this movie was made in nineteen ninety eight, and if
Speaker 1: this movie couldn't get any worse, think about this.
Speaker 4: Every dog in this movie is now dead.
Speaker 5: My rear reviews Showy or the Love fromna Ah.
Speaker 1: Let's do real reviews. We somehow found a five star
Speaker 1: review Sabrina.
Speaker 2: I would love for you to I will read it
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: It's five out of one hundred. No, I'm kidding it's
Speaker 4: five out of five. Go ahead, what do you all right?
Speaker 3: This is an unknown reviewer. Really funny. I think it
Speaker 3: would be cool to know what your dog is thinking,
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't want to act like a dog.
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough, I have the one star review.
Speaker 1: Jensen picked this one out of the I'm sure several
Speaker 1: thousand one star reviews there were had to have been.
Speaker 4: This is great.
Speaker 1: This is also from an unknown It says, someone may
Speaker 1: suggest you watch this movie instead, go outside, mow the lawn,
Speaker 1: remove the lint from your socks, file some old paint cards.
Speaker 1: Do anything except watch this you will be unable to
Speaker 1: unsee it. About the nicest thing you can say is
Speaker 1: at least it gave some people income.
Speaker 2: Oh it's pretty close.
Speaker 4: It is pretty close.
Speaker 1: As we do every week here on Magical Rewind, and
Speaker 1: we love to play a new game, a new feature
Speaker 1: that we have every week, usually set up by producer Jensen.
Speaker 4: This one is no exception.
Speaker 1: Usually producer Jensen pops on with us, but he and
Speaker 1: his lovely wife TV's Tapanga Daniel Fischel are off on
Speaker 1: vacation this week, so producer Tara.
Speaker 4: Is gonna come on for us.
Speaker 1: I believe is going to tell us what answers are
Speaker 1: correct and what aren't. Our feature this week is called
Speaker 1: pet tea Crime, Petty Crime. We will be explaining one
Speaker 1: of the worst pets in movie history, and we have
Speaker 1: to say what movie it's from. If we as a
Speaker 1: team can be three out of five correct, we win. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's now it's we're teammates this week.
Speaker 3: I do appreciate that Jensen, wherever you are vacation, feel.
Speaker 4: Like I got the short end of the stick. There
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 2: It's funny because it's so true.
Speaker 1: All right, so I am again, I am gonna this
Speaker 1: is the worst pets in movie history.
Speaker 4: We have to say what movie it's from, So here
Speaker 4: we go Number one?
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Initially a friendly and playful pet, this dog and movie
Speaker 1: title becomes vicious after being bitten by a rabbit bat.
Speaker 4: Sabrina a rabbit bat. Huh what is the name of
Speaker 4: that animal?
Speaker 2: I don't know any movies with bats in a mixup
Speaker 2: for ace Ventura.
Speaker 4: Okay, man, that is kujho Am I correct, Tara.
Speaker 2: You're correct.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have not seen it, but there's an episode
Speaker 3: of Friends where Rachel's watching it.
Speaker 4: So okay, there you go. So there's job bat got
Speaker 4: number one.
Speaker 1: Number two, after Tom Green, in the middle of his career,
Speaker 1: Peak almost eats a mouse in front of a snake.
Speaker 1: It eventually bites his hand, leading him to flail all
Speaker 1: over a dorm room and eventually fling it onto another
Speaker 1: student's neck.
Speaker 4: Do you know this? Oh, my gosh, No, I don't either.
Speaker 2: I don't Tom Green. I don't think I watched anything
Speaker 2: really had either.
Speaker 4: I couldn't you a Tom Green thing?
Speaker 3: Tar? What is it?
Speaker 2: The answer is Road Trip?
Speaker 4: Oh, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've never seen I know of that movie, but
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen it.
Speaker 4: Okay. Number three, we're one in one here as a team.
Speaker 1: Number three, a stalking alligator bit the handoff of former
Speaker 1: golf pro Chubs, beating him to get a somewhat comedic
Speaker 1: prosthetic replacement and eventually seek revenge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rina, this is happy Gilmour, Yes, say Gilmore.
Speaker 4: Yes, we don't even need Tar to come on. I
Speaker 4: know that's right. Number four, so we're two and one.
Speaker 4: Number four, when two concrete dogs come to life, it's
Speaker 4: just another addition to a very hectic situation in New
Speaker 4: York City.
Speaker 2: Two concrete dogs.
Speaker 4: Come on, Sabrina, come on, cri.
Speaker 2: You know this one?
Speaker 4: Of course, I know this one.
Speaker 2: Two concrete dolls? Patrol?
Speaker 4: How about gonna give you? Let me give you a hint.
Speaker 4: I am the key master? Are you gozer Goes? Are
Speaker 4: the Gozarian?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Ghostbusters?
Speaker 2: Who are you gonna call? That would have been the better?
Speaker 4: Who are you gonna call?
Speaker 1: That? Be?
Speaker 4: Too easy to give her? Is too easy?
Speaker 2: Busters?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's Ghostbusters? Is the two concrete dogs technically worth three
Speaker 1: and one?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You got you knew that one?
Speaker 4: Number five? The last one?
Speaker 1: No bright light, you don't get them wet and above
Speaker 1: all else you don't feed them after midnight?
Speaker 2: Oh what Gremlins?
Speaker 4: Yay, we're four and one.
Speaker 3: That's what everyone used to say. Rocky used to look
Speaker 3: like it's like a little funny, is it?
Speaker 4: Gremlin? You know who did and who did the voice
Speaker 4: of Gizmo in Gremlins?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: I don't know that one?
Speaker 4: That was Howie Mandel. Wow, Howie Mandel was Gizmo?
Speaker 2: That's cool?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, well that's true. We were four and one.
Speaker 1: I think Jensen did not get to stump us on
Speaker 1: that one, which is good.
Speaker 3: So he doesn't care about stumping you. He's always wanting
Speaker 3: to stump me back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Well he didn't this week, so right now wherever he's
Speaker 1: on vacation, he just got a little itch in his
Speaker 1: neck that he's scratching like Kirk Cameron and you lucky dog.
Speaker 4: Can we do Sabrina sees please.
Speaker 2: There was not a lot for me to really sink
Speaker 2: my teeth in on this one.
Speaker 4: If you will, I will.
Speaker 3: The first one I had kind of a hard time understanding.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 3: It wasn't obvious to me at the very beginning. You
Speaker 3: see all these news clip beans and everything. It was
Speaker 3: odd to me of how they were explaining what he
Speaker 3: was doing. Now right, yes, I agree in there I
Speaker 3: was that already. I'm going, okay, I don't know how
Speaker 3: I'm confused. We're two minutes in. I don't understand. But
Speaker 3: one funny thing that did happen. That lady must be
Speaker 3: his secretary must say that she's going to quit every
Speaker 3: single day because that fox was so handy, ready to.
Speaker 2: Go, just boom right on the thing. I go, oh,
Speaker 2: she's done this before.
Speaker 4: And she's daily no pay. She says she hasn't been paid, so.
Speaker 3: Totally, yes, of course, the next one is the car scene.
Speaker 3: I just could not get over. First of all, the car,
Speaker 3: the was it like a VDA van that's.
Speaker 4: The Taylor Negron one. Yes, yes, the.
Speaker 3: Erratic driving and everything was just so over the top cartoony.
Speaker 3: And then the worst part for me was the nephew
Speaker 3: that is driving.
Speaker 2: He is I mean he's driving it the way Monroe
Speaker 2: drives that car at Autotopia. I mean, no sense of
Speaker 2: keeping anything. I mean, it is just it was. It
Speaker 2: was like a cartoon.
Speaker 3: It was so bad how he was handling that wheel.
Speaker 2: It was hilarious. I was just dying. The last one
Speaker 2: is in the mall. Now I am.
Speaker 3: All for you know, the emotional support dogs things like that,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean totally, but that was not
Speaker 3: of this time, right, that wasn't a big thing. I think,
Speaker 3: if anything, you only had a cniye dog, I want
Speaker 3: to say, right, And the fact that they were able
Speaker 3: to take this giant dog into the mall, into a
Speaker 3: department store, even I was. I would wonder, first of all,
Speaker 3: seeing Petco when this movie was in ninety eight, I
Speaker 3: would imagine it probably wasn't even super normal to take
Speaker 3: your dog to Petco back then, because you didn't really
Speaker 3: take your dogs into places the same. No, No, not
Speaker 3: only that, but you definitely didn't take your dog into
Speaker 3: a mall without a leash.
Speaker 2: What's happening here?
Speaker 4: He's on the counter of wanton Tommy's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how are the security guards not going?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 2: You need to leash that dog up and get the
Speaker 2: heck out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was And then, of course we already talked
Speaker 3: about I did say the same thing, those amounts of
Speaker 3: tranquilizing darts that got put into these people that didn't
Speaker 3: do anything.
Speaker 2: No, it was that whole part was it was funny.
Speaker 3: I felt like, you know, Monroe was sitting there giggling, laughing.
Speaker 2: She enjoyed that part of the She's Gonna be four.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we found our age group for this film.
Speaker 2: Yet, that's what I was saying. I really saw this movie.
Speaker 3: It was it was interesting to see a movie that
Speaker 3: was clearly targeting a way younger audience because it would
Speaker 3: take away younger mind to be able to not question
Speaker 3: some of the silliness of what the movie was.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that was The darts were my my
Speaker 3: final thing. And then of course the courtroom was just.
Speaker 2: The gun getting out Oh that's what.
Speaker 3: We got a gun and it's it's the oldest gun
Speaker 3: from the western chambers.
Speaker 2: Of the Midwest. Like it was so ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just it was hard, hard to really continue
Speaker 3: to focus on this movie because I just kind of
Speaker 3: kept zoning out.
Speaker 2: I was zoning out, unfortunately, I.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. So now we come to the portion
Speaker 1: of our program where we rate the movie one out
Speaker 1: of ten, one being the worst, ten being the best.
Speaker 1: Our options this week one out of ten. Kirk Cameron
Speaker 1: ear scratches one out of ten Emmy nominated songs from
Speaker 1: You Lucky Dog, one out of ten head Co Cross Promotions, Yeah,
Speaker 1: dogs who don't peeer Pooh, mister Fisters, or one out
Speaker 1: of ten want on Tommy's.
Speaker 3: I think we gotta go with mister Fisters because we
Speaker 3: had I'm so happy that we actually watched the movie
Speaker 3: where the number one d com Crazy Names came from.
Speaker 2: We got to do mister Fisters.
Speaker 4: I agree with you one thousand percent. I don't know
Speaker 4: who what.
Speaker 1: I think I think you went first. Last time, I
Speaker 1: think I did you did. Oh jeez, it's my turn.
Speaker 1: I I've said this before, I'm saying this again. I'm
Speaker 1: working so hard on trying to watch these movies the
Speaker 1: way they're supposed to be watched.
Speaker 4: I really am This movie had so many problems.
Speaker 1: How you have a movie with a guy who can
Speaker 1: communicate with the dog and you don't have a voice
Speaker 1: for the dog.
Speaker 4: How the guy gets on the stand at the end.
Speaker 4: How people are gonna be like, oh, it's supposed to
Speaker 4: be fun.
Speaker 1: I get that this was a bad movie. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: this was There were no kids in it. It was
Speaker 1: not a d coom in any way. I get Kirk
Speaker 1: Cameron was swinging for the fences. The acting actually wasn't awful. No,
Speaker 1: you've got James Avery, who's great and obviously committing.
Speaker 4: Kirk Cameron is committing to the part.
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying, they really are, but the material was not there.
Speaker 1: This might be my lowest rated dcom of all time.
Speaker 1: I'm giving this to mister too.
Speaker 2: Mister fisters.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well that makes me feel better for mine, because
Speaker 3: I was going, Wow, I don't think i'd ever give
Speaker 3: below a four. I think that's the lowest I've given
Speaker 3: so far, and that killed me to even do that.
Speaker 3: It's tough, I get it, you know, Although now that
Speaker 3: I'm thinking I think my four was to fuzz Bucket,
Speaker 3: and which is crazy, right, that was probably should watch
Speaker 3: that again. Yeah, so I I think because we've again,
Speaker 3: we've started, we just got off doing some really great movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough. I think I'm gonna my gosh.
Speaker 3: Now, I wish I would have watched buzz Bucket after this,
Speaker 3: because I can't rate fuzz Bucket better than this.
Speaker 2: There's just no way I can't.
Speaker 4: Oh you can, absolutely, I think I can. I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna stick with.
Speaker 3: My original then it was it was a three point
Speaker 3: five mister fisters for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, three and a half. It's that half fister
Speaker 1: that really gets you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't go down to it three because it's not
Speaker 3: that far off from fuzz Bucket, but I will go
Speaker 3: to the three point five. I'm gonna stick to my
Speaker 3: original thought.
Speaker 1: I am actually putting this below Fuzzbucket because at least
Speaker 1: fuzz Bucket was for kids.
Speaker 4: It had kids in it. Yeah, made no, but it
Speaker 4: was like.
Speaker 1: It made but it was kids, but it was like,
Speaker 1: this was fuzz Bucket. If they didn't give fuzz Bucket
Speaker 1: his own voice, You remember, could you He's just talking,
Speaker 1: He's just hearing him an answer. Yes, okay, but that's
Speaker 1: so they did a whole movie that way. You can't
Speaker 1: do well, you know, go I I hate to say,
Speaker 1: go watch this movie, but go what you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta watch along and see you got to see the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, the indifferent.
Speaker 4: Watch.
Speaker 3: Yes, if you have kids, especially that love dogs, that
Speaker 3: was what I think Monroe was able to. Really he
Speaker 3: loves buppies, so you know it was it was, okay.
Speaker 1: This exact same movie. Don't change anything about this movie.
Speaker 1: But give the dog its own voice, and it goes
Speaker 1: up to a four or five.
Speaker 3: Or five or even maybe a six if the actor
Speaker 3: that does the voice is exactly look who's talking.
Speaker 4: If Bruce Willis doesn't do the voice of the baby.
Speaker 2: Could you want to that point? What would be the point?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, And it.
Speaker 1: Had to have been discussed at some level. It had
Speaker 1: to have been discussed to give the dog a voice.
Speaker 1: It had to have been.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just what would be the reason not to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 4: I don't know. You get some great actor to come
Speaker 4: in and do the.
Speaker 3: VOI I do believe that with the cast that was
Speaker 3: in place, their four million dollar budget, that's where it
Speaker 3: makes sense to me because they did have some really
Speaker 3: great actors.
Speaker 1: Great actors again, Taylor Negron, very funny with the whacky
Speaker 1: like that. I love the trope of the wacky bad
Speaker 1: guy who's bumbling, can't get it together, really stupid. That
Speaker 1: works there, you look, you look at something like like
Speaker 1: Home Alone or something like that works.
Speaker 4: It works like Gangbusters. It's great.
Speaker 2: Taylor Negron's so funny in this movie, so great.
Speaker 4: None of it made sense. It needed to rewrite, it
Speaker 4: needed the dog to talk. It was. This was not
Speaker 4: a good movie, and two might have been harsh.
Speaker 1: I might be able to go two point five because
Speaker 1: of the cast, maybe even three because of the cast.
Speaker 4: But this was a bad movie. Anyway. Hopefully our next
Speaker 4: movie will not be because our next movie is two
Speaker 4: thousand and eight, huge hit camp Rock. Oh yes, I
Speaker 4: don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1: Jonas bro Oh now if this is the one with
Speaker 1: the Jonas brothers, Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is the one. I thought teen Beach was good.
Speaker 4: I was so disappointed.
Speaker 1: And you get to.
Speaker 2: See the Joe bros. When they were babies. They were
Speaker 2: eighty beaty little guys.
Speaker 1: We're so cute and adult Jonas brothers super talented.
