WEBVTT - Bring It On with Maggie Maye 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.600 On the bed cast, the questions asked if movies have 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.680 women in them, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:12.799 or do they have individualism? The patriarchy zef invest start 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:19.200 changing with the cast. Hi, welcome, welcome, I feel so comfortable. 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.400 I'm feeling really alive. Hey, thanks for here. My name 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.479 is Caitlin, my name's Jamie, and uh this is the 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.240 Bechtel Cast. Thank you so much for being here. For 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.320 those of you who have never heard the show before, 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.279 why don't we tell you a little bit about it. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.720 We talk about the representation and portrayal of women in movies, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.800 using the Bechtel test as a jumping off point to 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.159 initiate that larger conversation. Hey, Jamie, what's the What the 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.320 hell is the Bechtel Test? Okay, calm down, I'll tell 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:55.680 you furious. It's It's a media test invented by a 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.560 cartoonist named Alison Bechdel. It is a test that requires, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.920 in a piece of media that there'll be two female 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.560 identifying characters who have names, who speak to each other 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.040 about something other than a man for two lines of dialogue. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.080 Or that's the way we define the test. You think 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.560 it would be easy, but allws of Lord of the 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.640 Rings do not pass, so it is and that said, 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.559 it is still very easy. We're psyched to be back 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.039 at the Ruby. We love the Ruby. Give it up 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.760 for the Ruby and Los Angeles. Um, and we've got 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.320 we've got a real treat tonight in terms of movie 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:40.000 and guests. So let's bring her out. We're turning to 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.080 the Capectel cast. She's a very funny comedian. You've seen 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.680 her on Conan and you know her from our Harry 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:57.600 Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone episode.

Um, bring on? 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.280 What a film? Two thousand? Uh? You know and if 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.440 you've listened to episodes about movies that come out between 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.920 nine two two, it's a precarious time for passing the 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.440 Bechtel test and acting ethically, it's a it's a very 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.119 precarious time. So we'll figure out what side of that 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.000 late nineties early odd spectrum we fall on tonight. Yes, 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.840 so Maggie, we'll start with you. What's your history, your 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.919 relationship with the movie Bring It On? Okay, so I 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.640 love the movie you Bring It On. I was a cheerleader, 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.880 Like we didn't even know that when we asked you 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.280 to be a Yeah. I was a cheerleader, like all 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.839 the way through. Um. I went to a magnet high 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.400 school that did not have sports, but I insisted on 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.240 doing independent cheerleading for like a year. Wait, were you 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:23.960 like alone operative? Yes, it was not beneficial. I was 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.040 like to all the rest of the nurses. This school 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.799 was like number seventy seven in the nation. It was 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.760 number seven in the nation, and it's heyday, and I 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.920 was like, hey, everybody trying to get into Harvard, who 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.120 wants to cheer? They were like, if you don't get 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.920 the fun out of this computer lab right now? So 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.040 you had nothing to cheer for, but you pursued it, 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.160 cheered for like you know, masterminds and math squad and 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.840 we went to competition like mathlete competition. They did not 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.520 let me go, and I cheered from home. I cheered 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.200 from home, so amazing. So you're a fan of the movie. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.560 You're a former cheerleader, and it came out the year 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.040 that I was a senior, so I was like watching 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.960 me like I would have been going through all this 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.280 bullshit if I would have gone to a regular high school. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:16.120 It's like, what if, Jamie, what's your history? I remember 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.839 the first time I saw this movie was at uh 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.839 sleepover that I was not cool enough to be invited 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.240 to in middle school, which is a real treat. It 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.400 was because Ryan Cheatham, who was one of the coolest 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.440 girls in school, liked me when I was seven, and 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.240 she just decided to look like she was one of 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.840 those merciful cool girls who was like, no, I know, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.000 Jamie sucks, but we're gonna let her hang out with us. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.000 Like she she would be nagging me constantly, but would 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.400 also let me come. And I was honestly so grateful 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.279 to her that she would let me be there. So 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.760 I was thrilled to be there. And they're like, we're 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.359 watching a movie about cheerleaders, and I'm like, awesome, yes, cool, 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:01.520 let me steady. So I don't remember much about watching 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.560 it the first time because I was so nervous to 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.599 be at that sleepover. I was just like very aware 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.520 of my posture um and like whatever was going on 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.440 with my body. I just was like, maybe this is 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.839 my big chance. It wasn't. But uh so, I truly 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.200 like I had seen it. I vividly remember watching it, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:29.600 and I didn't remember anything that happened. Okay, okay, so yeah, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.560 i'd seen it a few times and had a weird 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.360 traumatic memory attached to it. Okay, what about you. I 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.560 saw it only one time before prepping for the episode. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.200 I was in high school. I think right around when 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.800 it came out. I don't think I saw in the theater, 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.880 but I do have a vivid memory of the scene 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.839 where Eliza douche Coup wipes her fake tattoo off and 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.279 then does a bunch of gymnastics for some reason. That 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.680 is like emblazoned into my memory. And then I remembered 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.720 nothing else about the movie. So a good moment. That 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.320 was the main point in the movie. I mean, it's 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.120 it's iconic. So I you know this, this movie is fun. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.840 It's super fun. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff to 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.799 love here. There's a lot of stuff to love. There's 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:21.720 a lot of stuff to be like, there is more 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.279 to love than I thought there would be, going in 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.640 which is which is always nice. And also watching this movie, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.960 I understood parts of the Thank You Next music video 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.520 I hadn't previously understood. I was like, why is already 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.080 on the ground a brushing her teeth for five minutes? 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.480 It was a reference to this you love seeing like 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.960 a reverse reference or like like understanding what a reference? Yeah, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.960 and then being like TV, I get it, and then 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.640 five months later being like, I see that was a 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.839 lot of the Simpsons. Yeah. Growing up I was like, oh, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.200 that was even funnier now. I used to sneak watch 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:07.000 Fraser at my house when I was in elementary school. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.960 That's my little personal rebellion that I do. Crazy. I 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.840 wasn't invited to sleep roppers, but I would always be like, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.400 ha ha, I understand, I'm den I know these baroque 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.880 musicians they're they're joking about. I probably still wouldn't understand, 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.320 but I love like I It's weird how like young 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.680 you can be when you condition yourself to pretend to 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:35.040 understand what's going on to defend mechanisms. It is Yeah, 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.400 you're laughing. Everybody else's laughing, or like they kind of 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.240 have pauses where you're like, I bet you that was 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:46.200 a joke. Yeah, you're like that. I didn't understand. I'll 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.560 do the recap. You'll do the recap, Okay, I will, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.760 I certainly will. That's how it goes. So we meet 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:57.000 Torrents Shipman. Yeah, tour Tory is Why is her name 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.000 like torrent And then also the team is called the Toros. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.200 That had to have been on purpose by the screenwriter, 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.240 I'm guessing, but it was. It was a weird choice anyway, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.080 So kirston Dunes is Torrans Shipman? Isn't Torrens a place 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.480 in California? Do? Is it? Is it? Yeah? I was 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.760 just like there's a lot of weird, Like where are 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.960 the going with this? Yeah? California? What do we know? 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:34.360 Her boyfriend's name is San sam Diego that I want 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:40.440 to use that, Okay. So she is a cheerleader in 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.160 high school. Like I said, her team as the Rancho 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:50.800 Carnate Toros. Frachocarnate. Can I just say Rancho carnate? What 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.840 the fuck? Okay, go ahead, go ahead, we opened She's 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.560 cheering in front of the whole school about how awesome 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.160 cheerleaders are, and then sudden she's naked and it's like, 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.320 oh my god, it was a dream. And then you 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.320 know it's a dream because we're learning all of the 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.960 women by name, which would never happen in real life. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.240 That was I was like, of course this is a 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.520 dream sequence. We know what their names are. True. And 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.040 then we meet her boyfriend, Aaron, he's about to move 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.800 away for college. And then it's the start of Torrance's 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.040 senior year of high school and the cheerleading squad is 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.400 voting for the new team captain because big Red, I 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.520 guess has graduated even though she's still there. That is 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.400 very true that I mean, but like that's true of cheerleaders. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.360 Oh and like Dan, I was on a dance team 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.920 in high school, brag, thank you so much. Like I 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.400 feel like there are like people who are like two 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.199 into high school sports and activities that go to nearby 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.719 colleges and they're like, I'm just gonna come by and 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.320 we're like, don't like it's weird. It always makes you 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.080 look weird. But I don't know that track for me. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.400 Like Red, she just she was clearly not you know, 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.400 adapting very well freshman year because she was always lurking around. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.320 He was around high school. Choose around. Did she show 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.280 up still in her cheerleading uniform a couple of times? Yeah? 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.920 I was like, man, she needs to move on. Yeah, 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.200 you were not going to make it read go to 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:21.560 class in between anatomy and physiology. I'm gonna scare the 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:27.240 hell out of my high school. So then Torrence gets 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.800 voted new squad captain. Yes, Kirson Dunst, who is in 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.760 every movie between and two thousand and four. Yes, okay. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.120 So then this new boy moves to school, Cliff. She 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.760 is vibing with him. He loves Cliff Pantone. All the 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.079 names are so weird because Pantone is like the name 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.880 of a color company. Yeah, and I was like, and 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.440 then then Cliff, Okay, So she's vibing with him. And 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.600 then there's a spot on the squad because someone gets injured, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.080 and now they have to hold tryouts for a great 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:12.000 opportunity for an audition Monta and Pippot. It's a great audition, 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:17.679 wouldn't you believe it? Everyone who tries out isn't weird 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:23.720 until we get too Missy. That's Eliza douche gu and 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.760 she is rough, she is tough, and she's like, I 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.080 think cheerleading stupid. But your school doesn't have a gymnastics team, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.160 so this is my last resort. And we know all 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.960 the hard, tough people around the gymnastics team. That's the 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.000 logic this movie subscribes to, Like, you know what, the 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:49.920 gymnastics team is terrifying, alright, they're all like kid Domini 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.320 just shot somebody, ok with us. She vaulted up the 0:11:55.320 --> 0:12:00.280 beam and shot someone in the knee cap on like 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:06.440 the matrix, and then stuck the landing. I would love 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.559 to see that movie. Incidentally, this screenwriter also wrote stick It, 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.040 that gymnastics movie that came out in two thousand and six. Yeah, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:19.800 this writer had two interests and they're very related. They're 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:25.800 flips and more flips with pomp pomps. So Torren sees 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.720 Missy's potential, but the other cheerleaders are like, oh gross, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:36.520 she's a goth. But tor she's a go with like 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:42.959 hair that like vaguely resembles dreadlocks but like not quite. Yeah, 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.400 there's a that that hairstyle toes a line. The toes 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.000 a line. So Torrence goes and tries to convince her 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.600 to join the team and she's like, fine, I'll do it. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.520 And then we learned the twist that Cliff and Missy 0:12:55.679 --> 0:13:01.320 are brother and sister. And then uh so Missy goes 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.280 to practice and she sees the burr it's cold here 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:16.520 in the atmosphere. Burre. There must be so TaurOs in 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:23.280 that atmosphere. Shoot for the listeners back and got solo 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.880 work coming up, the independent study work. When you do 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.360 it by yourself, you don't have to be on rhythm 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.839 because yes for the listeners to find your own beat. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.480 Now you just got up and started dancing, and it 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.640 was glory choreography. It was incredible. Y'all missed it. You 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:45.240 should have been here. So she sees that and she's like, hey, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.120 you guys stole those cheers. Let me prove it to you. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.400 And she drives her from San Diego to Los Angeles 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.040 that's a three hour drive by the way on a 0:13:54.160 --> 0:14:02.880 school night, and shows her the Clovers from East Compton 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.679 doing the exact same cheer, and we learn that Big 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.720 Red had been traveling to the school. Take yeah, putting 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.199 in a lot of effort, and it's like, if you're 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.440 if you have all that time, you might still what 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.520 are you doing? Yeah? Yeah, she was going away even 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.880 know about them. Yeah, I'm like in two thousand, where 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.000 would you found out they don't have a web page? 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.600 I can tell you that much right now, but it's yeah, 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.320 that was. I was like, Okay, I guess we're just 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.960 we're just here for the ride. So they go and 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.280 watch it and the Clovers the team captain is Isis. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:45.240 That's Gabrielle Union's character. So in every movie from and 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.520 I says was like, hey, white ladies, you stole from us. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.280 That is the line that she sayes. But it it 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.600 ends now and this year we're winning Nationals and Torrence 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.240 is upset. She didn't realize that the cheers have been stolen. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.400 So now she's like, hey, squad, we've got to come 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.800 up with something else, a new a new thing for regionals. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:13.480 That's right around the corner, Isn't it always always? That's 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.480 how I hope in every conversation, like Regionals is right 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.120 around the corner. Well, then she says like, we have 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.440 to get a new routine, and the squad is kind 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:29.280 of like, no, right, we know burr whatever it's still 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.520 called in here. I'm in a jacket. Okay, we're doing 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.560 at Burr works for us. But then then the Clovers 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.240 show up to one of their football games and like 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.320 the cheer that you're doing, we also invented that one. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.960 That's a great scene. I like that was a good scene. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.880 Just watch that scene. You have the whole movie. You 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.480 need to see also in that scene. This has nothing 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.920 to do with anything, but I think that they're the 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.640 movie keeps making a play to be like Cliff is 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.840 a little different. He's an intellectual. So he's at that 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:04.520 football game reading The Human Ape. I didn't looked up 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:09.160 the book. It's like a famous sociology book about evolution. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.320 So they're like, no, Cliff, no, no, no, he's he's 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.840 not a sports boy. Rather, he's a Darwin boy. Like 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.640 that's just like, what is the point of he's gonna 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.160 voluntarily show up to a football game no one asked 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.480 him to be at. I've invited him and do homework 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.160 that no one asked him to do. Everything with Cliff 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.880 is a reach for me, but that was one of 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.720 the chest reaches of just like no, no, no, he's 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:41.320 smart to check this ship out that he loves the Ramans. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:49.120 He's not like the other boys. He's not. He's not. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.600 It's so weird. He reads books. He's a Yeah, he's 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:58.880 a book ramon man, you know the type. Okay. So 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.480 then tore his boyfriend, Aaron, who is like actively cheating 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:09.680 on her, recommends that the squad hires Sparky Polastery, another 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.720 winner of the name of Spirit Fingers. Just that name 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.600 sounds suspicious. Yeah, sounds suspicious as Hale sounds like he's 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.680 going to try to sell them knives and ship. Well, 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.399 it also sounds like Sparky Palastry sounds like you've already 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.359 had to change your name more than once, because that 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.720 would that would that wouldn't even be like someone's first 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:36.000 choice for an alien maybe like well, Sam Diego, Mark 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:45.680 Sparky Plaster. Okay, So then they hire him, but he's expensive. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.280 He cost two thousand dollars. So they do a car 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.240 wash fundraiser, which is an excuse to show a bunch 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.760 of teen girls in bikini. I didn't find that grow 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.440 two of this at all. Meanwhile, Cliff and Torrance, they're 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.400 vibing the father pretty hard. I swear it. You can 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.600 cut Cliff entirely out of the movie. Is no difference, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.600 said He does not help the movie in any way, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.679 shape or for him. He helps the movie nothing. He 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.879 just Yeah, cut Cliff, he's trimmed the fat him and 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.840 his damn books. Get him out. I bet you they 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.600 forced that into it, like in Hunger Games when they 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.120 forced Gail in there, like we need a lot of entrant. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.360 They probably were like, let's put in a complex bad 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:33.040 boy with you. Totally does seem like he's like a studio, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.320 like a sentient studio note because he's like put in 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.840 a convenient place where like, oh, if Missy had a 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.960 brother who didn't play by the rules, Pantoones are a 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.280 family badass pantos. Pantos are also a parentless family like 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.760 her in this huge as house and then she at 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.320 one point, Missy's like, oh, they're in a benefit. They'll 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.760 be fucked up for days. It's just like, what is 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.480 it going on with your parents? It's there. He seems 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.840 like very wealthy alcoholics. Good for her. Cut cut the 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.639 Cliff storyline and make the advanced chemistry class that she 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.560 has to take. Make that a storyline where she learns 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.399 about chemistry and finds out that she loves it. Women 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.600 in stem careers, Yeah, that's right, we need women in 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:28.800 stem who also are cheerleaders. Yes, that's my Yeah, he 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:30.760 wasn't even bad. He just brought a book to a 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:39.760 football game. It's not bad. It's pretty good, a good student. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:50.119 He's like, yeah, this is kind of bonus work. So 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.639 then Sparky shows up. He criticizes everyone on the team 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:59.480 and then very creative bodies. It's I felt he's like 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.880 one develop and eating a disorder or stop eating altogether. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.920 And that whole scene and the super helpful yeah, oh 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.080 it totally helped the demon. That was helpful for me 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.880 to see. It was a good reminder to stop eating right. 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.960 And then he whips Missy with a towel and he 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.800 hasn't fired. He has not fired. He is very bad 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.800 at his job. He's obsessed with spirit hands fingers and 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:30.520 everyone's yes and night. There were a few people who 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:36.520 were like in the ground and spirit fingies. I'll go 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.440 ahead and cancel myself. Um, I like this day in 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.320 the front room and you said spirit hands. He went 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.240 twinkled his fingers like you're right, You're right, Okay, so 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:52.679 spirit fingers. And then and they do end up with 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.240 a routine that like no one's really excited about, and 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.080 then we cut to reach routine. As a cheerleader, it's 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.280 not a good routine's funk you would know simply a hack. 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.239 The Toros are a regionals, the Clovers are Regionals, and 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.080 then the team that goes right before the Toros does 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:14.239 the exact same fucking Sparky plant Screen whatever his name is. 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.760 They're double dipp in. He's double dipp in. He got 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.120 four thousand dollars. Imagine the damage he could do. Well, 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.440 the judge says, you did it to six different squads, 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:30.280 so that's twelve thousand dollars. And the judges are like, 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.640 we don't know what to do about this. You're not disqualified, 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.040 but like make sure you come back with a new 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:40.840 routine at nationals. Also, the Clovers do a great routine 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.359 at Regionals. And then there's a few different like short 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.159 confrontations between Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunce and this is 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.560 like one of the good ones where they're like all 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:56.400 laughing at the Toros and they're right, it's funny, yes, 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.400 And then Aaron, who for some reason is Torrance's boyfriend, 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.680 tells her you're not captain material and like just give 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.000 it up, and then Cliff finds out that she has 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.920 a boyfriend and he gets mad right because she was 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:22.879 leading him on, dude him and all his books. Courtney 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:27.840 and Whitney try to mutiny her and withdraw from Nationals altogether, 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:29.800 but Torrance is like, no, this is our chance to 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.040 show that we are the original people that we thought 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.920 we were, but it actually we're not. But we can 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.479 do it. And then they practiced really hard, they come 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.439 up with a new routine. Torrance breaks up with Aaron, 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.040 and then they're all ready to go to Nationals until 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.560 they learned the the East Compton Clovers aren't going because 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.600 they couldn't raise money for the trip. Right Torrance, it's 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.159 hell bent on them going because she's like, they're the 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:56.920 stiffest competition and if we want to show that we're 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.879 the best, we have to beat the best. And then 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.760 she gets her dad to sponsor the Clover's big Daddy moment. 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:10.200 Yeah but isis tears up the check they refused. Yes, yeah, yeah, 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:15.080 I love that part too, Yes, take that safe Yeah, 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:24.439 right night school. I didn't even go there. Then the 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.360 Clovers end up getting sponsored by a talk show host 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.480 that's from their neighborhood. And then they are able to 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:33.280 go to Nationals. So both teams are there Isis says 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.280 bring it, doesn't say bring it, and then we're like, 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:40.240 what she says most two thirds of it, and so 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:45.200 we're like, oh, yeah, and we appreciate her restraint. Yeah, 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.040 And both teams make it to the very final round 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.280 and they both put on a great show. They have 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:56.439 great sets, solid type fives, you know. And then the 0:23:56.520 --> 0:24:01.679 Toros get second place. The Clovers when first place Nationals. 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.119 Congratulations to the Clovers, and then a kiss because we 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:10.000 can't close out the movie without a Cliff kiss. Wait, well, 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.960 and I'm just realizing he did Cliff go to Daytona Beach. Yes, 0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:18.040 he got on a flight last minute from San Diego 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:25.000 to San Diego Diego. He should be in school right 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:30.280 like this is his parents really were fu Where are children? 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.480 Why did they have to move? Like we don't know 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:37.640 what the story has? All right, So that's the story. 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:43.840 Give it up for the Clover's Okay. I like the 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.000 live shops where we were like clap for the plot. 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:50.360 Now it works as a steamless transition whenever I need 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.800 to insert the ad break because when is what that's 0:24:52.840 --> 0:25:06.440 all above it? Where to begin, Well, let's start with Torrance. 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:12.520 So Torrence is the main character. She's played by Kirsten Dunst. 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:16.360 I didn't realize until more recently. Kind of like this 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.480 stock character that Kirsten duns plays where she is very 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:24.040 popular but she's also nice. I feel like she she 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:27.560 takes up a similar role and dropped Dead gorgeous in 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.440 Spider Man, where it's like she always is like this 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.680 like white blonde girl who's very well liked by everybody, 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.240 and she has a code of ethics that she abides 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.439 by and we're like, all right, sure, you know, but 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.960 then surrounding her are like popular girls who are bitchy 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.199 and me and out to get her, like like Denise 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.800 Richards and dropped Dead Gordon's and in this movie Courtney 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:55.120 and Whitney. But she like she plays this very like sweetheart, 0:25:55.280 --> 0:26:02.200 virginal snaggle toothy little thing and yeah it's her thing. 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:06.439 Am I like crazy? That's her, Like she brags about it. 0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:13.359 She Oh, she needs to be here's the thing. Someone 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:18.480 told us. She's called as a small tooth. She needs 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.560 to be cast in a Bruckheimer joint to get those veneers, 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:25.240 Bruckheimer veneers that I love. But yeah, so she's surrounded 0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:30.920 She's like the nice, popular cheerleading captain surrounded by wretched 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.400 people for the most part. Yeah, but she always plays 0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:37.280 sort of like this person with a moral center, and 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.920
