Speaker 1: Are you a big sleepover person? Were you a big
Speaker 1: sleepover person back in the day.
Speaker 2: I'm still a big sleepover person. Matter of fact.
Speaker 3: That's one of the most exciting things I think having
Speaker 3: like a little girl is going to be. It's like
Speaker 3: part of that her being becoming a teenager and like
Speaker 3: doing the slumber parties for her and the toilet papering
Speaker 3: all of that. I'm so excited for, so excited.
Speaker 1: For my wife's cause. So there's two kinds of kids.
Speaker 1: I think when you grow up.
Speaker 4: There's the kids who can't wait to go for a
Speaker 4: slumber party, and then there's the kids that don't want
Speaker 4: to sleep outside their house.
Speaker 1: Right, so.
Speaker 2: Let me go, Let me go.
Speaker 1: And Sue is exactly the opposite where she was.
Speaker 4: She'd thinks she'd make it to like nine thirty and
Speaker 4: then call her parents and like, so.
Speaker 3: I my cousin is three years older than me. So
Speaker 3: when we were like slumber partying, right, she's probably like
Speaker 3: eleven twelve, like eight, you know, And every time we
Speaker 3: would have you know, our holiday events, I'm talking, and
Speaker 3: we used to do everything together, like Fourth of July,
Speaker 3: Memorial Day, you know, Haybord Day, all those of course,
Speaker 3: we were together than the regulars.
Speaker 2: The Thanksgiving, the every holiday.
Speaker 3: My sister or my mom and her sister, my aunt
Speaker 3: Betty were together. So we always were together every holiday.
Speaker 3: It was like, Okay, this is a holiday, Leah's going
Speaker 3: to spend the night at my house.
Speaker 2: It get to like nine thirty ten, and.
Speaker 3: So it just got to the point where like it
Speaker 3: was obvious that she was never going to spend the
Speaker 3: night at my house.
Speaker 2: I always went and spent the night at her house.
Speaker 1: Are you still friends with Leah?
Speaker 2: Lea's like my cousin.
Speaker 4: Yes, she and she seems will she sleep Will she
Speaker 4: sleep at your house now?
Speaker 5: Or no?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Well, now she got four kids,
Speaker 2: there's no way she could do that.
Speaker 1: Now. She probably wants to let me.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah no, But it's the sleepover thing is so fun,
Speaker 3: especially for younger kids. And like Monroe is the same
Speaker 3: as me, Like she's okay to go and spend the
Speaker 3: night away from Jordan and I at her friend's house.
Speaker 3: But her bestie is still someone that kind of like
Speaker 3: ventures into her mom and dad's dad's bed at night.
Speaker 1: So like.
Speaker 2: She's like not ready to come over to our house.
Speaker 1: I guess yet you know, so get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, it's different.
Speaker 3: But I well, I have dreams about the first sleepover
Speaker 3: I get to.
Speaker 1: Do at my house with my It's going to be crazy.
Speaker 2: It's going to be so over the top, so obnoxious
Speaker 2: and so wonderful.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you absolutely do not need to invite me to.
Speaker 2: You would hate it. The girls, So can I start
Speaker 2: screaming at all? You're out?
Speaker 1: I'm out out.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you
Speaker 4: want to grab your friends, your pj's, and your popcorn
Speaker 4: and go back to a time when all the houses
Speaker 4: were smart.
Speaker 1: The Waves, Tsunamis and the High School's Musical.
Speaker 2: I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: Look into my eyes. You're getting sleepy and sleepier. And
Speaker 1: when I snap my fingers.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get into our newest d com That's right,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three is coming of age comedy The Slumber Party.
Speaker 4: Let's just be honest. Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 4: This is Disney Channel's version of The Hangover. It's it's
Speaker 4: the Hangover. Yeah, it's literally the Hangover. It is, so
Speaker 4: we'll call it the Tween Hangover. The movie air July
Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty twenty three on the Disney Channel,
Speaker 4: then dropped on Disney Plus the next day, and like
Speaker 4: a lot of these d coms, it is based on
Speaker 4: a book from twenty sixteen, The Sleepover Well you know Well,
Speaker 4: titled by.
Speaker 1: Jen It's either Malone or Maloney. I think it's Maloney now.
Speaker 4: The producers of these dcoms are usually pretty standard, fair,
Speaker 4: nothing worth pointing out, but in this case not so much.
Speaker 4: It's produced by Imagine Entertainment, the company owned by Ron
Speaker 4: Howard and Brian Grazer. Some of their biggest movies from
Speaker 4: the past include Apollo thirteen, A Beautiful Mine, eight Mile,
Speaker 4: The Da Vinci Code, and Frost Nixon.
Speaker 1: So this is of course a big step up for
Speaker 1: a d com.
Speaker 4: I liked Apollo thirteen because I'm being into space, but
Speaker 4: I was a little lost because I didn't see the
Speaker 4: first Apollo movies.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, of course, I loved it.
Speaker 4: I think it's safe to call Imagine one of the
Speaker 4: most prolific and successful production companies of all time in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: The Slumber Party also found itself nominated for Outstanding Fiction
Speaker 4: Special at the Children's and Family Emmys. I did not
Speaker 4: know there was such a thing as the Children and
Speaker 4: Family Emmys, but hey.
Speaker 1: And critically this was a success too.
Speaker 4: It's commonly listed as one of the best original movies
Speaker 4: on Disney Plus, and most people see it as a
Speaker 4: delightful coming of age comedy. One website, latinamdia dot com
Speaker 4: wondered if this movie had officially brought back the d com.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's kind of an interesting way of putting it.
Speaker 1: It's also like, what about zombies and descendants and everything.
Speaker 4: But I get what they're saying where that those are
Speaker 4: so big and so grand now that it like just
Speaker 4: kind of bringing back a d com.
Speaker 3: So right without a bunch of music and yeah, big
Speaker 3: like set production stuff right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And as Sabrino is saying, this is not a musical,
Speaker 4: but it's recent, which means it's got to have a
Speaker 4: pretty good soundtrack. And I'm going to read you some
Speaker 4: of the people here, and if I know fifty percent
Speaker 4: of them, I'm gonna be happy, because chances are I'm not.
Speaker 1: It includes music.
Speaker 4: From Baby Pink, Nope, Earth Gang, uh huh, Brian McKnight
Speaker 4: heard him, The Black Keys, of course, and some classics
Speaker 4: like Hypnotize from Fleetwood Mac, one of the best bands ever,
Speaker 4: Searching from the Coasters another great Just Amazing, and holding
Speaker 4: Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyle.
Speaker 1: Plus it also includes music from the cast.
Speaker 4: They sing I'm not a girl, not yet a woman
Speaker 4: and dreams and the start of something new. This was
Speaker 4: filmed in We might start saying this more and more
Speaker 4: and more Atlanta, Georgia, which is arguably modern day Canada.
Speaker 4: So that makes sense in that everything shoots there now.
Speaker 4: If you see anything Marvel, anything, Disney anything, whatever, chances
Speaker 4: are it's in Atlanta. But it's the first d com
Speaker 4: to shoot there since Let It Shine in twenty twelve,
Speaker 4: which we liked. Okay, Sabrina, it's modern day decom at
Speaker 4: least more recently than we're usually cover.
Speaker 1: So did you know about Slumber Party before it was homework?
Speaker 3: Not at all, Not at all. I feel I've been
Speaker 3: made me go. I am definitely out of touch with
Speaker 3: the newer dcoms besides the major obvious ones, right, rather.
Speaker 1: Than that the ten Poll Descendants and stuff, yep.
Speaker 3: Other than that, I feel very out of touch. And
Speaker 3: that's insane because we're on season three of watching.
Speaker 2: What the Hell Is wrong with me.
Speaker 4: I agree, but I also I don't know about you.
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a it's going to sound like
Speaker 4: I'm lazy, but I'm not. I like the not knowing.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get research.
Speaker 1: I want to go and we do that.
Speaker 2: Well, I do. I like because it helps.
Speaker 3: Even not knowing who the cast is helps, like go
Speaker 3: with like a clear like you know, trying to get
Speaker 3: a really unbiased opinion about this movie.
Speaker 1: I agree with you one thousand percent.
Speaker 4: Well, you yourselves can get acquainted with The Slumber Party
Speaker 4: anytime you want because it's streaming on Disney plus twenty
Speaker 4: four seven, three sixty five for five sixty four, eight fifteen, sixteen, twenty.
Speaker 1: Three forty two.
Speaker 4: Actually add any numbers you want there, it's there. You
Speaker 4: can watch it now, watch it later.
Speaker 1: That's totally up to you. And now everybody, let's get our.
Speaker 4: Ducklings in a row because your trigger word is synopsis.
Speaker 4: Four middle school best friends have a sleepover that takes
Speaker 4: a chaotic turn when they wake up with no memory of.
Speaker 1: The previous night.
Speaker 4: I do have to say before we get into it,
Speaker 4: this is a great decom plot. Like we said earlier,
Speaker 4: it's literally the Hangover. So there's many places this can go.
Speaker 4: And I honestly didn't know whether that's what they were
Speaker 4: going I meaning, obviously they nodded to Hangover, but I
Speaker 4: didn't know if it was like, oh, we're doing the
Speaker 4: Hangover for kids, if that was the plan, because it
Speaker 4: was at times a shot for shot kind of rip
Speaker 4: off of things they were doing. So I have to
Speaker 4: imagine that was part of the plan a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, I mean it had to have been.
Speaker 3: And knowing that this isn't a like as soon as
Speaker 3: things started to happen, I'll tell you when it happens
Speaker 3: when we're going through the whole movie, but this was
Speaker 3: like okay, wait, like pause. This had to have been
Speaker 3: a production company that made this film and Disney bought it,
Speaker 3: is what it seemed like because it was done so
Speaker 3: differently than the regular Disney like everything that we're used
Speaker 3: to with Disney like original movies. There just is a
Speaker 3: big difference between this, and that helped cater it towards
Speaker 3: what they were wanting, which was a young hangover.
Speaker 1: First, and I don't I think it was.
Speaker 4: It was produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, but
Speaker 4: I think it was produced for Disney, so I think.
Speaker 2: Was it really think?
Speaker 3: So, yeah, there's some things in it that are so
Speaker 3: anti Disney that.
Speaker 4: I know, but anti Disney, we know, not necessarily anti
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three Disney. Remember the new ones we've been
Speaker 4: seeing Prompact and things like that. I mean, they've been,
Speaker 4: they've been, I guess, so.
Speaker 3: I guess so yeah, I know, maybe we need to
Speaker 3: see like a couple of them in a row and
Speaker 3: not bounce back because it's kind of this. This jarred
Speaker 3: me a couple of times, like did they literally just
Speaker 3: say that?
Speaker 2: Like the Disney Channel just said that that was you know,
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: When you're when you're going from you know, twitches right
Speaker 1: to something like this, it's like, wow, this was maybe
Speaker 1: same company.
Speaker 3: Even this, even if you hadn't seen the hangover, right
Speaker 3: from the start, them not remembering makes it feel like
Speaker 3: they were drugged, yeah yeah, or that they or that
Speaker 3: they ended up at a party and drank too much,
Speaker 3: like that's right from the start, anyone, you know. And
Speaker 3: then okay, well, but so this movie, I will say
Speaker 3: my early thoughts are I.
Speaker 2: Did like it. I did.
Speaker 3: It was hard to keep thinking this as a Disney
Speaker 3: Channel movie.
Speaker 1: That's fair enough.
Speaker 3: It was really hard for me to believe that this
Speaker 3: was a movie made for the channel versus it being like.
Speaker 2: Was it it was bad? Hair Day?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Was a movie that another.
Speaker 3: Production company made sold to the channel. That's what it
Speaker 3: seemed like to me. It did not seem like a
Speaker 3: movie that was made for the channel, not the Disney channel.
Speaker 2: I grew up. I'm not.
Speaker 4: I don't think this is our Disney Channel anymore because
Speaker 4: it is different.
Speaker 1: But I actually really enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 2: I did that Jesus felt like an older like this
Speaker 2: didn't feel as young as a lot of what the
Speaker 2: core d common.
Speaker 1: Was great. There was some out loud moments.
Speaker 3: Phenomenal like there was a part some parts where it
Speaker 3: started to like okay, like let's get to it, but
Speaker 3: most of it was I actually really enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 3: I was laughing the whole time. I thought all of
Speaker 3: the characters were so funny, so great. Early thoughts loved.
Speaker 1: It me too.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: The Slumber Party was directed by Veronica Rodriguez.
Speaker 4: She has directed a lot of shorts than two episodes
Speaker 4: of the Disney show.
Speaker 1: Gabby Duran and the Unsittables.
Speaker 4: Heard of it like you do, then a tween Christmas
Speaker 4: movie called Let's Get Married spelled m E r RI
Speaker 4: I ed get It get Married, and this.
Speaker 1: Was her last movie.
Speaker 4: But don't feel too bad for her because she's currently
Speaker 4: directing camp Rock three.
Speaker 2: For the show Oh Day, Guest Everybody.
Speaker 1: For my part.
Speaker 4: They haven't called U yet, so I'm guessing we're not
Speaker 4: gonna be in this And this is definitely an ensemble effort,
Speaker 4: but it stars Darby Camp as Megan, who, even at
Speaker 4: her young age, has been in an awful lot. She's
Speaker 4: already been in the business for a decade and shows
Speaker 4: like Graid's Anatomy and The Leftovers, but is best known
Speaker 4: as Little Chloe on Big Little Lies. She is also
Speaker 4: in The Christmas Chronicles Part two with Kurt Russell a
Speaker 4: Santa and Clifford the Big Red Dog, where she plays
Speaker 4: Red I'm kidding, I don't know who she plays.
Speaker 1: And Emmy Lee Wang plays Paige.
Speaker 4: She was well known in the Channel at the time,
Speaker 4: as well as Ivy Chen on Raven's Home. She's currently
Speaker 4: shooting a show called Hollywood Arts starring Daniella Monette and
Speaker 4: making her Hollywood debut. Here is Alex Cooper Cohen, who
Speaker 4: plays Vera This is currently her only credit, which is.
Speaker 2: No way insane to me. You guys gotta get on.
Speaker 1: She will was too funny or something.
Speaker 3: Yes, she is a standout little comedian. I thought she
Speaker 3: was incredible me too.
Speaker 1: Valentina Herrera plays Anna Maria.
Speaker 4: She's best known as Agent Opal on the Odd Squad
Speaker 4: TV show, but also played Young Widow in the Marvel
Speaker 4: movie Black Widow Dolla. The you is Mikey and he's
Speaker 4: a name all over the internet these days, a quote.
Speaker 1: Unquote internet darling, if that's the thing he was best
Speaker 1: known as.
Speaker 4: And I apologize because I'm going to mispronounce this even
Speaker 4: though it was one of my favorite movies of that year.
Speaker 4: Rui Hua, I think, is Howse said in Marvel's Shang
Speaker 4: Chi The Legend of the Ten Rings, which I thought
Speaker 4: was an unbelievably underrated Marvel movie. He is also a
Speaker 4: big part of Avatar the Last Airbender the TV show,
Speaker 4: and as a kid, was on the Nickelodeon show Hopefuls.
Speaker 4: But the best role he's had so far was on
Speaker 4: the TV show Penn fifteen. But it does seem likely
Speaker 4: you is going to be everywhere in the next few years,
Speaker 4: and two great castings on the adult side.
Speaker 1: Paula Pell is principal Peterson.
Speaker 4: Pell is one of the best comedy writers in the world,
Speaker 4: having worked on SNL for almost twenty years now, but
Speaker 4: in front of the camera, she's best known from the
Speaker 4: TV shows like Girl five, Eva, ap Bio, Love the Burbs,
Speaker 4: Big Mouth, and Inside Out two.
Speaker 1: She also wrote the upcoming movies.
Speaker 4: The Fifth Wheel starring Nicki Glazer, Fortune Fimster, and Kim Kardashian,
Speaker 4: and finally, The Great Titus Burgess plays Mesmer. Burgess broke
Speaker 4: out on the TV show Unbreakable Kemmy Schmidt, but also
Speaker 4: had been the narrator of the Teletubbies since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: He also appeared in the movies Dolomite Is My Name
Speaker 4: and the recent Snow White remake as Bashful. But for
Speaker 4: our listeners with little kids, they will be most excited
Speaker 4: to hear he was just announced as the voice of
Speaker 4: Gerald in an upcoming Elephant and Piggy TV show, and
Speaker 4: I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what any of that means.
Speaker 4: But even with two comedy heavyweights involved, it all means nothing.
Speaker 4: If the movie clocks over ninety minutes. We know that
Speaker 4: at Magical Rewind we like one run time and one
Speaker 4: run time only, and we're right and everyone else this
Speaker 4: is wrong.
Speaker 1: So let's find out what the Slumber Party will take
Speaker 1: from your day. It runs eighty two minutes.
Speaker 4: Oh people, all right, we're eight minutes off the target,
Speaker 4: but thankfully in the right direction. We could have pumped
Speaker 4: it up a little bit, guys, maybe added some shots
Speaker 4: of the sky or people driving, but who knows.
Speaker 1: Will let it be for now. I actually really liked
Speaker 1: the length of this movie.
Speaker 2: I did too.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: Now when it comes to this great, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4: When it comes to the script's cover page, we have
Speaker 4: two writers. First up is Jen Maloney, the writer of
Speaker 4: the book we talked about. She's a former Hollywood publicist
Speaker 4: turned author of middle school grade novels. This is our
Speaker 4: only movie or TV credit. And then we have Edie Fay.
Speaker 4: Much like the director of this movie, Faye is the
Speaker 4: Disney Channel.
Speaker 1: Go to of the moment. Really like to get her
Speaker 1: on the show.
Speaker 4: She started her career writing the TV show Fuller House,
Speaker 4: then writing the Jojo Siwa movie The j Team, but
Speaker 4: will now have credits.
Speaker 1: On both Camp Rock three and Zombies five.
Speaker 4: Yiow she is to the writing of new d coms
Speaker 4: what Malachi Barton is too starring in them.
Speaker 1: It's so true.
Speaker 4: It's time to board the Hedgehog mobile and dive right
Speaker 4: into slumber party.
Speaker 1: Here we go, people.
Speaker 4: We open by intercutting between two completely different energies. We
Speaker 4: glide into a quiet, average suburban street with the William
Speaker 4: tell overture playing kids on bikes people power walking. Then
Speaker 4: we jump into a loud overhead shot of three kids
Speaker 4: riding a hedgehog go kart, blasting rock music for the
Speaker 4: entire neighborhood to hear, and eventually our two worlds collide.
Speaker 4: As the animalmobile passes through the quiet neighborhood, dogs start
Speaker 4: barking and people are staring.
Speaker 1: This is clearly disrupting the piece.
Speaker 4: Eventually, the hedgehog car crashes into a divider, sending a
Speaker 4: young girl soaring through the air, screaming towards a coffee
Speaker 4: shop and an innocent patron eating a donut. The camera
Speaker 4: freezes while she's mid air. She looks through the camera
Speaker 4: and introduces herself as Megan Bernadette Brookman. She confirms that
Speaker 4: we just saw three teenagers riding a giant hedgehog and
Speaker 4: assumes the audience has a lot of questions, like how
Speaker 4: she lost one eyebrow, and so she says, well, let's
Speaker 4: start the beginning, and the movie rewinds all the way
Speaker 4: to one day earlier.
Speaker 1: That's when we're at Anna Maria's house. Megan is still narrating.
Speaker 4: She introduces her best friend, Anna Maria, the birthday girl,
Speaker 4: and the reason she's mid air heading for the smelly dumpster.
Speaker 4: She's decorating her house with birthday decorations just one week
Speaker 4: before high school starts. Now we're at Page's house. Megan
Speaker 4: introduces us to Paige, her other best friend, fearless and
Speaker 4: loyal and has a turtle. In second grade, when Nia
Speaker 4: Thomas bullied Meghan for not having a mom, Paige convinced
Speaker 4: Na to cut off her own ponytail. Page asks her
Speaker 4: brother Mikey for a ride, and when he says no,
Speaker 4: she casually blackmails him.
Speaker 1: Now we're at Veronica's house.
Speaker 4: We meet curly haired Veronica as she straps on her
Speaker 4: crossbody fanny pack. Meghan says their friendship is fairly recent
Speaker 4: and I immediately want to know more about Veronica. We
Speaker 4: are now back at Megan's with the well she's got
Speaker 4: both eyebrows. At this point, the overthinker is packing and
Speaker 4: keeps talking to camera. She reveals both her parents are therapists,
Speaker 4: just as her dad calls her from downstairs to make
Speaker 4: sure her tiny, tiny green cell phone is charged and
Speaker 4: page has arrived. She's the only teenager in Atlanta that
Speaker 4: doesn't have a smartphone, and no one will ever see
Speaker 4: this phone of shame.
Speaker 1: This was another movie I.
Speaker 4: Think Quince did it, but they did it more, I
Speaker 4: should say, where there's only two times in the movie
Speaker 4: where she breaks the fourth wall and talks to the
Speaker 4: camera right, And so this was another one where I
Speaker 4: was like, I liked how they did it. Frankly, I
Speaker 4: thought maybe more would have been too much, And I
Speaker 4: liked that she did do.
Speaker 1: It, but maybe one or two times more. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was strange.
Speaker 3: It seemed like I guess there's really no time that
Speaker 3: they did the voiceover, and I think that some of
Speaker 3: the action in the movie wasn't necessarily needed, that they
Speaker 3: there could have been that breakthrough and being like okay, pause,
Speaker 3: so like you know what I mean, instead of some
Speaker 3: of the things that happened. I feel like maybe even
Speaker 3: like the whole like when we get into like where
Speaker 3: this hedgehog situation comes from, that area could have been
Speaker 3: if it was like in the middle, and then at
Speaker 3: the very.
Speaker 2: End, like it happened again in the end. Even one
Speaker 2: or two times.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, yeah, like even just a moment
Speaker 4: or two of her looking at the camera like giving
Speaker 4: a look like can you believe this is happening?
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? Like something like that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, they they did it at the beginning, and
Speaker 4: then they do it kind of once at the end
Speaker 4: where they come back to her flying through the air.
Speaker 1: But that was it. Yeah, for breaking the fourth.
Speaker 3: We usually we get like a voiceover as we're skimming
Speaker 3: through the house of finding out who this main character was.
Speaker 2: That's usually when the voiceover happened.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, pages downstairs talking to Megan's dad's one dad
Speaker 4: giving her positive affirmations and the other reminds her that
Speaker 4: her audition for freshman flute solos are next week. He
Speaker 4: hands her a personalized sweater that says, don't hate me
Speaker 4: because I'm flutiful.
Speaker 1: I want that.
Speaker 3: This is when I don't know if this happened to you.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just jumping into the spre disease. But this
Speaker 3: is when I went at first, this is like, okay,
Speaker 3: different type, different era of dcoms.
Speaker 2: At first, when she said.
Speaker 3: My that I only have or that I don't have
Speaker 3: a mom, talking about her best friend who stuck up
Speaker 3: for her, I went into, okay, we have a mom
Speaker 3: that has passed.
Speaker 1: We got a dead mom.
Speaker 2: We've got a dead mom.
Speaker 1: Damn me.
Speaker 3: Then it was oh, no, she doesn't have a mom
Speaker 3: because she has two dads, and that's very different.
Speaker 2: That's not something we have seen, just like right out
Speaker 2: in which obviously makes so much sense. In twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: Now, the girls are driving away in Page's brother's truck,
Speaker 4: swerving a bit through the hills. Megan thinks her dad
Speaker 4: would call for an amber alert if they knew Paige's
Speaker 4: brother was driving. Page says he's allowed to drive siblings,
Speaker 4: and since she's pretty much her sister, it's cool. They
Speaker 4: eventually arrive at Anna Maria's house, and as Meghan gets
Speaker 4: out of the truck, she spots Jake Ramirez and his
Speaker 4: Perfect teeth riding his bike towards her with his friends,
Speaker 4: and we get some slow mo as Back at One
Speaker 4: by Brian McKnight plays Megan is in a trance with
Speaker 4: the older boy, completely missing Page's warning that her skirt
Speaker 4: is stuck in the door, and just then, when Page's
Speaker 4: brother drives away, Megan's skirt rips off. She quickly pulls
Speaker 4: her shirt down to cover herself. Jake shakes his head
Speaker 4: and walks his bike back into his house. Page covers
Speaker 4: Meghan with her flannel and they quickly scurry away. We're
Speaker 4: now inside Anna Maria's house. Her divorced parents are sternly
Speaker 4: explaining to Anna Maria that Veronica is going to be
Speaker 4: your stepsister. She's a sweet girl, and they appreciate that
Speaker 4: she's been included in their slumber party tonight. Anna Maria
Speaker 4: is mad that her dad is getting remarried on her birthday,
Speaker 4: but he says it was the only day available at
Speaker 4: the venue before her new baby sister is born, which she.
Speaker 1: Also seems rather peeved about.
Speaker 4: So you've got divorced dad who impregnated I'm guessing his mistress.
Speaker 3: They don't get into that, but they don't get into it,
Speaker 3: but something the thoughts are there.
Speaker 4: The thoughts are there, and now he's marrying her and
Speaker 4: he's so, yeah, you don't. But they also show that
Speaker 4: they have a good co parenting relationship, so yeah, maybe
Speaker 4: he's not a mistress.
Speaker 2: The way that they acted this out was so positive.
Speaker 3: It made me go, wait, is this the new Is
Speaker 3: this lady the one that's pregnant?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it like they they did not have like a beef,
Speaker 3: but they were a great co parente.
Speaker 2: I'm for the positive co parenting of course, of course,
Speaker 2: or it looks.
Speaker 1: Tough, I'm sure with that.
Speaker 4: Her dad says he'll drop off Veronica after her park
Speaker 4: Core lesson and be back in the morning for their
Speaker 4: annual birthday hike. Anna Maria says she's not joining this year,
Speaker 4: and her dad gets a very upset. Obviously, they all
Speaker 4: start arguing, with Anna really letting her dad have it.
Speaker 4: She says, you can force me to go to your wedding,
Speaker 4: You can even force me to have your new kid
Speaker 4: at my party, but you can't force me to go
Speaker 4: on some stupid hike on my birthday. Then the doorbell
Speaker 4: rings and his dad answers it to see Megan and Paige.
Speaker 4: Megan announces that she has pants in her bag, and.
Speaker 1: He leaves and walks to his car.
Speaker 4: Now in Anna's basement, the girls are following a Richard
Speaker 4: Simmons exercise video. Anna says they're offbeat and sits to
Speaker 4: snack on talkies. Megan notices her new shoes, and Anna
Speaker 4: says they were a guilt gift from her mom. But
Speaker 4: more importantly, they need to do something big since they're
Speaker 4: going into high school soon. Anna suggests they break into
Speaker 4: West Oak and free those baby ducks from the science lab.
Speaker 1: She's apparently obsessed with these little baby ducks.
Speaker 4: Paige suggests connecting the shopping carts at Target with zip ties.
Speaker 4: Anna remembers when Mikey woke them up at two am
Speaker 4: to help him fill his car with watermelons, but Megan
Speaker 4: doesn't remember that, and that's when she realizes at some
Speaker 4: point they had a sleepover without her. She pretends to
Speaker 4: be fine about it, but wants to know what else
Speaker 4: they've done without her. They get instantly serious, calling her
Speaker 4: Megster and Meggie Pooh. They say, don't take this wrong,
Speaker 4: but well, you get scared to try new things. So
Speaker 4: Megan says, tonight it's gonna be different. She's gonna step
Speaker 4: out of her comfort zone and try new things for
Speaker 4: freshman year.
Speaker 1: Tonight is going to be epic.
Speaker 4: Megan starts pulling out VHS tapes, should we learn to
Speaker 4: hip hop with Brian Austin Green or a.
Speaker 1: Movie called Tommy Boy, And that's why I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 2: So old, I know. I was like, dang.
Speaker 3: Also, this is another thing, not necessarily learn hip hop
Speaker 3: with Brian Austin Green, but pulling out Tommy Boy, which
Speaker 3: is definitely not a Disney in any sense type movie,
Speaker 3: was interesting to me for to be now talked about
Speaker 3: on Disney Bluss, because what do you think kids are
Speaker 3: gonna do?
Speaker 2: They're gonna start researching.
Speaker 4: I also am pretty amazed though that it's VHS tapes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not even DVDs.
Speaker 4: Like they have a v I'd be amazed if a
Speaker 4: girl who's supposed to be fourteen in twenty twenty three
Speaker 4: has any idea what a VHS tape is or how
Speaker 4: to use a VHS player, or anyone even has a
Speaker 4: VHS player.
Speaker 3: We could dive into it now. But this entire basement
Speaker 3: whose house is this? Do they live in their grandmother's house?
Speaker 3: Because this is not this is not somebody who has,
Speaker 3: you know, fourteen year old fifteen year old kids. This
Speaker 3: is not the like I need to know whose house.
Speaker 3: This is because I think they've they've.
Speaker 4: Inherited mom's house, but it is it.
Speaker 2: But it's Aaron Ana Maria's grandmother's house.
Speaker 3: Because this is it's it's a seventies driven basement. This
Speaker 3: is not a two thousand and twenty three basement of
Speaker 3: anyone of modern age that's not holding on to the
Speaker 3: nostalgia of things like this, the.
Speaker 2: Couch, the carpet rugs.
Speaker 3: The crowch shade blanket.
Speaker 2: All I was like jotting down all I mean what.
Speaker 5: This is when was stuck in a time warp, which
Speaker 5: is awesome for us, but not awesome for these fourteen
Speaker 5: year olds now in the early twenty twelve.
Speaker 4: Although isn't isn't all this stuff super like hip and retro?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: Isn't the nineties back and the eighties are back? Isn't
Speaker 4: that like the cool thing if you're fourteen or fifteen?
Speaker 2: Maybe? But like who still has that? Like who is so?
Speaker 3: Like you're telling me her mom has a modern nice upstairs.
Speaker 2: The kitchen was modern. All of that was kind.
Speaker 3: But they went into our local like through stores and
Speaker 3: and like all those places and they and they bought
Speaker 3: this for the kids to play.
Speaker 1: No, that was my parents. Basically we had the VHS
Speaker 1: player and all that kind.
Speaker 2: Of yeah, this was that it was different.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine how much it smelled like that.
Speaker 3: Stuff smells like mothballs and nasty all over.
Speaker 1: In eighth grade.
Speaker 4: Yes, by junior year, it'll smell like weed. Anna suggests
Speaker 4: they toylet we burnt exactly. Anna suggests they toilet paper
Speaker 4: Jake Ramirez's house, but Megan says no and pretend she
Speaker 4: doesn't even know who that is.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Then, Veronica barges downstairs, and A apologizes for being late.
Speaker 1: She had a Park Corp class. Then she falls down
Speaker 1: the stairs.
Speaker 4: This is Anna's stepsister, but Anna clarifies not technically until tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Veronica reveals that she was homeschooled, and Anna is upset
Speaker 4: that these three amigos are now some freakish forsome the
Speaker 4: girl's sidebar. Megan and Page tell Anna that she's being
Speaker 4: too harsh. They should just have some fun. Anna just
Speaker 4: wants a normal family, which Paige and Megan take personally.
Speaker 1: Of course. Megan has two dads and Page is a
Speaker 1: half sibling.
Speaker 4: The girls inform Veronica that everything is good and then
Speaker 4: Anna's little sister, Penny screams from under the plow Penny.
Speaker 1: Under the pool table to scare him. Everyone jumps.
Speaker 4: She annoyingly begs to be included, and even though she
Speaker 4: can't keep a secret.
Speaker 1: They say no, get out, so she runs out of
Speaker 1: the basement. That night.
Speaker 4: Now outside, we're in the Magnificent Mesmer's van. He's an
Speaker 4: actor moonlighting as a hypnotist, being told by his agent
Speaker 4: that he once again did not get a callback for
Speaker 4: a role. He wants to be taken seriously as an actor,
Speaker 4: but for now, he pulls up across the street from
Speaker 4: Anna's house.
Speaker 1: To perform as a hypnotist. When he knocks in the door,
Speaker 1: Penny answers.
Speaker 4: Penny says she doesn't believe in hypnotism, but would be
Speaker 4: into it if he can make Anna punch herself in
Speaker 4: the face. He threatens to give her a mustache, and
Speaker 4: so she screams for her mom, who then lets him in.
Speaker 1: Apparently this was all Veronica's idea. We're now in the basement.
Speaker 4: Mesmer joins the girls and tells them they will be
Speaker 4: shocked and amazed. He immediately has them lay on the
Speaker 4: floor and to follow his directions to find the depths
Speaker 4: of their subconscious and expand their minds. They fool her
Speaker 4: out at first, but two eventually follows instructions. He says
Speaker 4: he will tap into their authentic cells and the hypnotism
Speaker 4: will only break when he calls the birthday girl later
Speaker 4: with a trigger word, which is like, okay, maybe at
Speaker 4: the end of the night, do you have to It's like,
Speaker 4: I'll call you a week later, then they'll remember everything.
Speaker 4: He starts a countdown, and when he gets to one
Speaker 4: and snaps, the screen goes black.
Speaker 1: It's now the next morning.
Speaker 4: In the basement, Megan has passed out on the floor
Speaker 4: with the Richard Simmons video playing loudly on the TV.
Speaker 4: The room is thrashed with writing on the walls and
Speaker 4: the washing machine overflowing with bubbles. Penny walks out of
Speaker 4: the bathroom and cheerfully says good morning, as if nothing's wrong,
Speaker 4: But once Megan enters, she notices one of her eyebrows
Speaker 4: is missing. She panics, tries covering it with her hair,
Speaker 4: then notices she's wearing oh her love Interests skull hoodie,
Speaker 4: but she loves it. She's smelling it. It smells like him,
Speaker 4: So weird. On the other end of the spectrum. Then
Speaker 4: she smells something very strange and sees a bunch of
Speaker 4: baby ducks in the bathtub, and then it says WTD
Speaker 4: on the screen, what the duck?
Speaker 1: So, yeah, they're even playing on the F word trow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: At first was kind of funny, and then when it
Speaker 3: pops up again, you're like, Okay, they do.
Speaker 4: It a couple times of different different versions of this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and when it.
Speaker 3: Gets to this part, I'll tell you what my real
Speaker 3: fills about it are.
Speaker 4: She runs to wake up Anna Marie, but realizes she's
Speaker 4: just a bunch of pillows under the blanket, so instead
Speaker 4: wakes up Page and Veronica, who are very confused and
Speaker 4: groggy in addition to a huge Veronica was here smeared
Speaker 4: on the wall and brown. Veronica looks down to see
Speaker 4: that she now has on long press on nils. Megan
Speaker 4: grabs a phone to call Anna Maria, and Page recognizes
Speaker 4: her hoodie as Jake Ramirez is nobody has any memories
Speaker 4: from the night. Anna isn't answering, in fact, her phone
Speaker 4: is still in the basement. But the scariest development, Meghan
Speaker 4: notices Page has blood on her hands. Page rushes to
Speaker 4: wash her hands and vehemently denies that she murdered Hannah,
Speaker 4: which is great. They sneak upstairs and see Anna's mom
Speaker 4: on the phone expressing complicated emotions about her ex husband
Speaker 4: getting remarried today, and once they tiptoe to Anna's room,
Speaker 4: they realize she's not there either. Page thinks maybe she
Speaker 4: wanted a hike with her dad, but her hiking boots
Speaker 4: are still there. Page then looks out the window to
Speaker 4: see Jake Ramiers's house has been toilet papered top to bottom,
Speaker 4: and again no one has any recollection of doing it.
Speaker 4: They barge in a Penny's room, but she has no
Speaker 4: idea where Anna is either. She threatens to tell her mom,
Speaker 4: but will keep quiet if Meghan does her math homework
Speaker 4: for a month and Page tags.
Speaker 1: Her in cool Instagram posts.
Speaker 4: Though annoyed, Megan and Page degree and the girl's head
Speaker 4: back to the basement. Page then tells Vernica to go
Speaker 4: clean her name off the wall, and they realize it's
Speaker 4: actually Newtella, thank God not poop. Page decides that the
Speaker 4: first they have to call the hypnotist to get the
Speaker 4: trigger word, but he doesn't pick up.
Speaker 1: Veronica leaves a voice message.
Speaker 4: Megan wants to call her dads, but Page argues they
Speaker 4: aren't kids anymore.
Speaker 1: They need to find Anna on their own before the wedding.
Speaker 1: At four pm.
Speaker 4: Veronica fanciers herself as a detective and instructs them to
Speaker 4: follow the clues. So they grab the ducks from the
Speaker 4: bathtub and head to the high school, where they'll need
Speaker 4: to break in to return all those little duckies. With
Speaker 4: the doors locked, though, Veronica starts to stretch for Parker,
Speaker 4: but instead Page calls in reinforcements her brother, Mikey and
Speaker 4: his truck. Veronica is mesmerized by him as Page breaks
Speaker 4: down everything that's happened so far. Veronica attempts to introduce herself,
Speaker 4: but Page is not having it. It only takes a minute,
Speaker 4: but somehow magically, he's able to open the door from
Speaker 4: the inside. Now inside the school, the kids hide from
Speaker 4: Principal Peterson, who is barking orders at the janitor. Homeschooled,
Speaker 4: Veronica loves being in a public school and Page as
Speaker 4: a plan. Veronica and her brother will return the duck
Speaker 4: while she and Megan look around for Anna. We're in
Speaker 4: the science lab. Now, Veronica falls even more for Mike
Speaker 4: when she realizes he also loves high school musical and
Speaker 4: they start to sing the start of Something New together. Wow,
Speaker 4: Paige and Mab Great little East dregg not even a
Speaker 4: little eas dreg a giant honkinga StrEG. Paige and Meghan
Speaker 4: walk in and are furious because the ducks have escaped
Speaker 4: their box, so they work together to recapture them all
Speaker 4: and in the process find one of Anna's shoes, remember
Speaker 4: the guilt shoes she had, but only one. They sneak
Speaker 4: into the hallway and almost get caught by the janitor.
Speaker 4: They make it to the staircase, but are followed by
Speaker 4: one lone little duckling. Veronica wants to keep it the
Speaker 4: page threatens to turn it in nuggets. Veronica awards Page
Speaker 4: to be nice. She's about to be Anna Maria's sister,
Speaker 4: but could end up being her sister too if you
Speaker 4: know what she means. She then starts thrusting her hips
Speaker 4: in every direction. They're about to fight when the principal
Speaker 4: and the janitor hear them yelling. Principal Peterson then announces
Speaker 4: over the loudspeaker to the children trespassing. You can run,
Speaker 4: but we will They'll find you. And now the girls
Speaker 4: are freaking out, rushing to leave, but end up face
Speaker 4: to face with the school staff members. The principal says
Speaker 4: she just wants to talk, but they scream and run
Speaker 4: away again. Megan says one of them needs to distract
Speaker 4: the principal and janitor. They retreat to the bathroom and
Speaker 4: Veronica volunteers to distract them because she's homeschooled and.
Speaker 1: Has no permanent record.
Speaker 4: She sprints it to the hall, screaming and smashing in
Speaker 4: the lockers while the others run into Mikey's car as
Speaker 4: he's waiting as a getaway driver. He asks where Veronica is,
Speaker 4: and on cue, she comes running out, followed close behind
Speaker 4: by the principal and the janitor. She just makes it
Speaker 4: to the truck and Mikey drives off. Now on the road,
Speaker 4: they admit they didn't find Anna, just her shoe, which
Speaker 4: they notice has orange.
Speaker 1: And maroon paint on the soles. Those are west Oak's rivals.
Speaker 1: The Hillsides ooh, they're colors.
Speaker 4: Apparently west O captured their principal and they never found him.
Speaker 1: Some strangs. They're like they never found him, like, is
Speaker 1: he dead? So they've been looking for revenge ever since.
Speaker 4: Yes, So they decide to check out this hillside for
Speaker 4: any side of Anna Maria. When they pull up to
Speaker 4: enemy territory, the girls decide to go check inside the
Speaker 4: high school. Mikey also kept the duck for Veronica, a
Speaker 4: telltale sign that maybe he has a crush too, which
Speaker 4: I guess is kind of weird because he drives and
Speaker 4: she's in the eighth grade.
Speaker 1: Does that not bother anybody else? I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: she's twelve and he's sixteen or seventeen.
Speaker 2: She's fourteen, probably.
Speaker 1: How can be?
Speaker 4: Okay, So this is where it messed me up because
Speaker 4: I was twelve and I just turned thirteen when I
Speaker 4: started freshman year in high school.
Speaker 2: So they're not how it is anymore? Really, Yeah, okay, No,
Speaker 2: the kids are. The kids are fourteen.
Speaker 1: When they go to middle when they go to high school,
Speaker 1: they're fourteen.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so fourteen and seventeen is still not a
Speaker 4: little creepy for me.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's not fifteen, Okay. A lot of the
Speaker 2: kids start like they do the they like, especially boys.
Speaker 1: Fifteen is freshman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there can be kids that get their license in
Speaker 3: between freshmen and sophomore year.
Speaker 1: Oh my, God, I graduated later. Now I graduated high
Speaker 1: school at seventeen me too.
Speaker 2: That was the norm. That was like normal, not anymore,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, at a loss for I'm getting old because I
Speaker 4: see two kids together and I'm like, stay away from her,
Speaker 4: like I know, well.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's how it's just so different.
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it because I'm having to deal that
Speaker 3: with with Monroe. She's on the cusp and like I
Speaker 3: did an extra year because I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was that way.
Speaker 3: I was seventeen for an entire month and a half
Speaker 3: in college before.
Speaker 2: I turned eighteen, right, and John, it's in September August.
Speaker 1: I'm August, so that's what And.
Speaker 2: We would definitely have been that.
Speaker 3: That was so normal for like you know that our
Speaker 3: generation versus now, it's like that's like unheard of. They
Speaker 3: were like Monroe's going to be an entire year but younger.
Speaker 2: And it's true.
Speaker 3: Her last year went to she turned four and the
Speaker 3: next day I did her birthday little party was the
Speaker 3: first week of school. The next day her friend turned five,
Speaker 3: I was doing her fourth and her next part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she's going to be a year behind.
Speaker 3: That's the way to do it, and so you just
Speaker 3: it's just so different now, parents just don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, at a loss of how to make things work,
Speaker 4: Meghan here's the marching band or what she calls her people,
Speaker 4: and she decides to ask them about Anna. While hiding
Speaker 4: in the bushes watching the very good and very serious
Speaker 4: squad practice, Veronica's about to sneeze, but holds it in
Speaker 4: and farts, and then she sneezes again. So now they're
Speaker 4: caught by some of the band kids and dragged out
Speaker 4: in front of everybody. Veronica tries to dance battle the mascot,
Speaker 4: but the Hillside band leader recognizes Meghan and threatens to
Speaker 4: charge them with grand theft Hedgehog. Apparently the girls stole
Speaker 4: their team float and show them video proof from the
Speaker 4: night before. The three girls admit they don't remember anything
Speaker 4: or where the hedgehog float is, and when the band
Speaker 4: leader says they have what the girls want, Megan thinks
Speaker 4: they mean Anna Maria and if they bring the float
Speaker 4: to ground Town Cafe at two pm, they'll make the swap.
Speaker 4: And again, all this directly from the hangover, and the
Speaker 4: little duckling is the baby I mean it's it's the hangover.
Speaker 1: So the girls now have a new mission. They need
Speaker 1: to find that float.
Speaker 4: They then walk down the street with the duck who's
Speaker 4: now named Bill, following along. They all start fighting and
Speaker 4: Megan yells at them they need to start acting like
Speaker 4: adults here and focus. They promised they'll find her, and
Speaker 4: Veronica's phone starts ringing it was the agency that hired Mesmer. Oh,
Speaker 4: they find out that he is working as an actor
Speaker 4: at the Okay, I'm gonna try to say this right, Chatahoochie.
Speaker 4: I think it's the Chattahoochie Onion Fest. So off they
Speaker 4: go again. When she then says it takes a certain
Speaker 4: kind of person to frequent an onion fest, I was like,
Speaker 4: that's me because, like, not just onion fest, garlic fest,
Speaker 4: avocado festivals.
Speaker 1: I am in for all those things anything. Oh dude.
Speaker 4: One of the first times I Sue and I held
Speaker 4: hands as a couple was at the the Avocado Festival.
Speaker 4: It was just like that, it's it's near it's near
Speaker 4: Uh it's near Santa Barbara, not Santa Barbara. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it is. It's near Santa Barbara. It's near Carpenteria.
Speaker 2: Oh, you got it.
Speaker 1: It's in carpentry. It's in carpentrya I think. And it's
Speaker 1: the Avocado Festival. And I was like, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Sue's hand. We like, She's like he took my hand
Speaker 1: as we walked across the street at the Avocado Festival.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, you know what the funny is.
Speaker 3: What I think is there's a there's a Tomali Festival
Speaker 3: in San Diego.
Speaker 2: My dad goes to almost every year.
Speaker 3: Hell, he says, it's somebody brings back some that are
Speaker 3: just phenomenal.
Speaker 4: And it's all the food made with the stuff, and
Speaker 4: there's like characters dressed like I'm an avocado. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: do it all I'll do it all day and always
Speaker 4: have bands. It's like you know where it's like Johnny
Speaker 4: and the Guacamole's like stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, hell, yes, so cool. I love that. I gotta
Speaker 2: go to one now.
Speaker 1: Got so much fun. There's some we'll double date. We'll
Speaker 1: double date at at.
Speaker 2: The Maybe Jordan will hold my hand.
Speaker 4: Hey, well we'll see. I might hold Jordan's because we're
Speaker 4: getting to know each other better.
Speaker 3: Yes, you guys are and you are so much alike
Speaker 3: and it's scary Uh.
Speaker 4: So they get to the they get to the Onion
Speaker 4: I said avocado. They get to the Onion Festival by
Speaker 4: the way on bikes, which makes you wonder where did
Speaker 4: they get bikes?
Speaker 2: No, I was the same way.
Speaker 3: Like wait a minute, come on, like they have to
Speaker 3: be stolen. You have to have like the smallest scene
Speaker 3: or something something.
Speaker 1: So yes, the mystery bikes have arrived.
Speaker 4: The Onion Fest is packed, but they have to find
Speaker 4: a way inside, and they decide to go Mikey style.
Speaker 4: They sneak in through a back gate and accidentally find
Speaker 4: themselves on the stage for the Onion Munch sounds weird.
Speaker 4: It's an onion anything with munch, it's an onion eating contest.
Speaker 4: They're ushered to a table and Veronica Spot's mesmer and
Speaker 4: costume as the Great Onion Page gets up to leave,
Speaker 4: but one of the older male contestants starts laughing.
Speaker 1: He knew the girls were in the right place. The
Speaker 1: cooking contest.
Speaker 4: Is right over there, because there's always that one asshole
Speaker 4: at the onion contest. The onion at the Onion Fest
Speaker 4: page gets them by firing back, and the porta Potti
Speaker 4: is over there, you piece of sh and so They
Speaker 4: allude to the fact that she's about to say piece
Speaker 4: a curry card.
Speaker 3: I know this is when I'm starting my I'm starting
Speaker 3: to wait a minute.
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, that's true, wait to fight minute, because that's
Speaker 4: what's happened.
Speaker 2: She's interrupted by an adult and to an adult.
Speaker 1: Which is yes, So is this Is this the closest.
Speaker 4: We've gotten to an actual swear in a dcom YEA,
Speaker 4: I think it has to.
Speaker 1: I think so too.
Speaker 3: There's one that I'm trying. It's trying to pop in
Speaker 3: my brain that I it isn't as close as this though,
Speaker 3: Like she's actually saying like this is.
Speaker 1: She's getting into it, starting it.
Speaker 4: And now the MC is reading off the rules for
Speaker 4: the fourth Annual Onion Munch. They eat one pound of
Speaker 4: raw onions and when they finish that, they get another pound,
Speaker 4: and the person.
Speaker 1: Who eats the most in two minutes wins. They should
Speaker 1: just say, eat as many onions as what's the.
Speaker 4: Point of a pal I don't understand me, As many
Speaker 4: onions as you can in two minutes.
Speaker 1: It's that simple. If you can't eat anymore, you go
Speaker 1: directly to the fryar holding tank. And this brings me
Speaker 1: to a very quick story.
Speaker 4: So Susan and I were at the mall, at the
Speaker 4: local mall one day and we walk in and a
Speaker 4: new hot dog place had.
Speaker 1: Opened in the mall.
Speaker 4: And we love hot dogs, big hot dogs, which we
Speaker 4: don't eat them because they're bad for you, but we
Speaker 4: love hot dogs.
Speaker 1: I could live on hot dogs, total Desert Island food.
Speaker 1: Love hot dogs.
Speaker 4: I know they're made from all the ass ends and
Speaker 4: elbows of every other animal, but don't care.
Speaker 1: They're delicious. So we get there.
Speaker 2: And reason I go to baseball games.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So I get there and there's they're setting up for
Speaker 4: a hot.
Speaker 1: Dog eating contest.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: And they come up to Sue and I'm like, do
Speaker 1: you guys want to sit in?
Speaker 4: I wanted to, Sue did not, but I was like, no,
Speaker 4: we're not gonna.
Speaker 1: Okay, well watch though, We've got to watch.
Speaker 4: So we sit down and there's some of these professional
Speaker 4: hot dog eaters, Like there's this one woman who I
Speaker 4: ended up following on Instagram who just eat for a living,
Speaker 4: and then there's a bunch of other people, and then
Speaker 4: there's this one woman, little old lady, probably in her seventies,
Speaker 4: late seventies, who's sitting down there, and they obviously came
Speaker 4: up to her at the mall like they did to
Speaker 4: Sue and I, and said, do you want to join
Speaker 4: a hot dog eating contest?
Speaker 1: And she went sure? And during the hot dog eating contest,
Speaker 1: she ate one hot dog slowly. She was just eating
Speaker 1: her lunch.
Speaker 6: They gave her a free hot dog, and Sue and
Speaker 6: I were looking at each other like, that's brilliant. What
Speaker 6: the hell are we We went and bought hot dogs?
Speaker 6: We should have said yes and sat there with this
Speaker 6: woman and just casually she was like looking around watching
Speaker 6: everybody eat and she's.
Speaker 2: Just hot dog, keep going.
Speaker 1: It was brilliant. I'm like, why did we not?
Speaker 4: And we're looking at each other like she literally she's
Speaker 4: just having her lunch for free.
Speaker 1: And like, what the hell are we?
Speaker 4: That's the wisdom that comes with age, Sabrina, because it
Speaker 4: was like.
Speaker 2: What the hell was that good? I like that. I
Speaker 2: thought you were going to tell me that. She like
Speaker 2: was like a no tired dog eating champion.
Speaker 1: She came out.
Speaker 3: Again, Yeah, crazy, I just had one sat there and
Speaker 3: say they had a front road seat.
Speaker 2: She was able to clap.
Speaker 4: She was not you could tell she wasn't trying to rush.
Speaker 4: She's like, I'm gonna slowly sit here and eat my
Speaker 4: hot dog while you're choking these down.
Speaker 1: It was brilliant.
Speaker 4: So back at the onion eating contest, Veronica clearly wants
Speaker 4: to win the bell rings and off they go. Page
Speaker 4: is crying, obviously, and she and Meghan call it quits.
Speaker 4: In the end, it comes down to Veronica competing under
Speaker 4: the name Esther Chen and that rude old man contestant
Speaker 4: while Bonnie Tyler's I need a hero, I need a hero,
Speaker 4: which is what I hear every.
Speaker 1: Time I eat hot dogs or onions or anything in bulk.
Speaker 4: But while in the loser's fire, Page and Megan look
Speaker 4: over and they spot Mesmer dressed as the giant onion
Speaker 4: while eating a giant onion again. The old Chauvinis then
Speaker 4: throws up and is quickly disqualified. Veronica wins, but someone
Speaker 4: has exposed to her as a fraud. She's clearly not.
Speaker 4: Ester Chen to escape the situation and get to Mesmer.
Speaker 4: Page and Meghan yell at Veronica to parkour, so she
Speaker 4: jumps off the stage and lands flat on her face.
Speaker 1: And I watched it three times. It was such a
Speaker 1: funny beat.
Speaker 2: I really thought we were gonna get some cool me
Speaker 2: I did. I really was like, this is Veronica's moment,
Speaker 2: this is it.
Speaker 3: They're finally letting her show her skills.
Speaker 4: It with the way she went, just the splat and
Speaker 4: she's just my god, it was so much, really really funny.
Speaker 4: Beat Mesmer, of course, has now escaped. Now the girls
Speaker 4: are riding their bikes, stolen bikes, magical bikes, whatever, bikes
Speaker 4: any where do they come from? Bikes down a nearby street,
Speaker 4: and Veronica announced that she's never eating an onion again.
Speaker 4: Page says they do have one more clue, though, and
Speaker 4: Meghan is wearing it, so they head to Jake's house
Speaker 4: and es skateboarding outside. When they arrive, Megan panics she
Speaker 4: can't believe she's still wearing a sweatshirt with one eyebrow
Speaker 4: and onion breath. They have an awkward exchange and he's
Speaker 4: surprised they don't remember anything from last night. He thought
Speaker 4: they came back to get what's in his garage. He
Speaker 4: opens the door and it's the Hedgehog mobile. Hedgy they
Speaker 4: did steal it. Page says they got to get this
Speaker 4: thing to Groundtown Cafe by two pm to get Anna Maria.
Speaker 4: But Jake knows they won't make it by foot, so
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to help them out. They move the
Speaker 4: hedgehog to the street and Megan puts on a helmet.
Speaker 1: She is ready.
Speaker 4: They're doing this for Anna Maria. Jake pushes the float
Speaker 4: down the hill and the hedgehog starts gaining downhill speed.
Speaker 4: They're all screaming. The hedgehog's going twenty six, twenty five,
Speaker 4: twenty four, it's all they're breaking the speed limit, which
Speaker 4: is twenty five, and they almost hit a guy with
Speaker 4: a leaf blower. That attire pops and Page jumps off.
Speaker 4: Then Veronica falls off. It's just Megan now, who, like
Speaker 4: we saw in the opening credits, crashes into the sidewalk
Speaker 4: and goes flying into the air. Then this is where
Speaker 4: she breaks the fourth wall again and the last and
Speaker 4: only time. The screen freezes again on midair Megan who
Speaker 4: apologizes to the audience saying she still doesn't have any answers.
Speaker 4: Then she lands in a dumpster. All this was very clever.
Speaker 4: She wonders if she's dead and if this is heaven,
Speaker 4: but Jake says it was awesome and helps her out
Speaker 4: of the dumpster. Everyone's impressed, but Meghan is tired of
Speaker 4: being dirty, reckless, hungry, and stuck with Veronica. She just
Speaker 4: puts her eyebrowback. Paige says, they're almost at the finish line.
Speaker 4: They just need to trade the Hedgehog for Anna Maria,
Speaker 4: and so now it's time for the swap. The Marching
Speaker 4: Band is already there and ready to take back the float.
Speaker 4: And so when it's time to hand over what the
Speaker 4: girls want, it's not Anna, it's Megan's green, tiny, crappy
Speaker 4: flip phone.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think it was a flip phone. It
Speaker 1: was just a phone.
Speaker 4: Yes, someone dropped it at the school last night, but
Speaker 4: Veronic and Paige say it's not theirs.
Speaker 1: Eventually, Megan admits it's hers.
Speaker 4: The Marching Band as if it's an iPhone negative twelve
Speaker 4: and someone even ass if it texts and hieroglyphics.
Speaker 1: Funny, funny dialogue. The band literally marches.
Speaker 4: Off, disgusted and they love how They're like, wait, you
Speaker 4: thought we kidnapped a kid?
Speaker 1: Are like, what are you thinking? Yeah? Crazy.
Speaker 4: Meghan now knows that this is officially very, very bad.
Speaker 4: It's time to tell An Maria's parents. Paige agrees, Jake
Speaker 4: and the girls all ride back to a Maria's house
Speaker 4: with the duck safely in Veronica's fanny pack. When they
Speaker 4: get there and a Maria's mom isn't home and they
Speaker 4: don't want to tell her dad because it's his wedding day.
Speaker 4: Veronica was wondering who took the video proof of them
Speaker 4: with the hedgehog.
Speaker 1: Jake says it was probably Penny. She was with them.
Speaker 4: Page tells Megan and Jake to deal with the basement
Speaker 4: and Veronica and her will handle the little girl. We're
Speaker 4: now in the basement. Megan and Jake small talk and
Speaker 4: I don't know why. I have no I can't explain it.
Speaker 1: Loved this couple.
Speaker 2: I I loved them.
Speaker 3: Loved them a sequel just about their their life together.
Speaker 1: I love how they wrote this.
Speaker 4: They wrote Jake where yes, he's supposed to be cool,
Speaker 4: but there was nothing about him trying to be cool.
Speaker 4: He was vulnerable, he was at it was. I loved
Speaker 4: this couple, I really did.
Speaker 3: I loved the nod to the old hot guy, like
Speaker 3: the like you know of a different age where he
Speaker 3: brushes his hair.
Speaker 1: Back, he does well, he.
Speaker 2: Doesn't do that the the older generation of the hot
Speaker 2: guy that brushes his hair back instead of the hair.
Speaker 2: I still can't get over that. But oh, he was
Speaker 2: so adorable.
Speaker 3: They played this so well together, their caistry, they were
Speaker 3: so cute, like honestly one of my favorite couples that
Speaker 3: we've seen in a d com on.
Speaker 1: They're up there with you.
Speaker 2: I mean they might, you know.
Speaker 1: For the for the Awards show, agree with you well.
Speaker 4: They small talk with her, explaining that she's had to
Speaker 4: try a lot of new things over the last twenty
Speaker 4: four hours.
Speaker 1: She wonders if this is what high school feels like.
Speaker 4: He admits he avoided basketball tryouts because he was afraid
Speaker 4: he wouldn't make the team, but now maybe he will.
Speaker 4: He smiles at Megan, and their knees touched. He goes
Speaker 4: in for a kiss, but then she jumps up. They
Speaker 4: should probably just keep cleaning. Before missus Guerrero gets home
Speaker 4: Penny's room, a doll's arm is being destroyed in a blender.
Speaker 4: Penny's tied to the bed and screaming, not my misty.
Speaker 4: Macintosh Page threatens her either tell them where Anie Marie
Speaker 4: is or she'll cut the doll's hair off, But before
Speaker 4: Penny could even say anything, Verona cuts off a braid
Speaker 4: and puts it in the blender. Now freaked, Penny swear
Speaker 4: she doesn't know where Ana Maria is, but Veronica doesn't
Speaker 4: see a real tear. She thinks she's lying and grabs
Speaker 4: one of Penny's toy horses. Outside Ana Maria's, Meghan and
Speaker 4: Jake throw away the last trash bag from the basement.
Speaker 4: He says he'll see her around, but she has a
Speaker 4: feeling she'll be unlocked down until her twenties. He promises
Speaker 4: to ride by her window and check on her. As
Speaker 4: he walks away, he says, it's true, she is flutiful.
Speaker 4: Then she runs back and kisses him, and I'm saying
Speaker 4: it right now.
Speaker 1: Favorite Kissing the decom Oh.
Speaker 4: My gosh, well met Favorite kissing the Deacon love.
Speaker 2: This was the perfect of their correct age.
Speaker 1: Yep, kiss perfect.
Speaker 2: It was the perfect one.
Speaker 3: It wasn't too much and truly this was it reminded
Speaker 3: me of like my first kissys and it was like, okay,
Speaker 3: we like it wasn't. It was like it was in

Speaker 2: like you and oh my gosh, we just kissed.
Speaker 4: It was so great and I love how she walks
Speaker 4: over and she then says one of the coolest lines ever.
Speaker 4: She says, I think you forgot this and then kisses
Speaker 4: him so great. I just I literally clapped when they
Speaker 4: gave me. I didn't never do that, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: am I creepy for doing this?
Speaker 1: But I'm looting for this. I'm rooting for this thirteen
Speaker 1: year old couple.
Speaker 4: And the best dcom kiss I've seen so far, bar
Speaker 4: none again.
Speaker 2: I loved it because it was short.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was her that decided to get the courage
Speaker 3: to go ahead and go for it, and he was
Speaker 3: so like a gentleman like kiss. And then when it
Speaker 3: was done, he looked at her and he was happy.
Speaker 4: And he like and they both turned and they're both
Speaker 4: smiling as they walk away.
Speaker 1: It was it was great.
Speaker 4: It was It was a I hate to say this

Speaker 1: It really was.
Speaker 4: It was so abdoor I said it out loud. I'm like, there,
Speaker 4: it is favorite kissing a DCM.
Speaker 2: So yes, because it wasn't like oh, and it wasn't awkward.
Speaker 1: Nope.
Speaker 3: Like I said, their chemistry together as two actors was wonderful.
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 4: It was absolutely great. Favorite kiss so far and dcom
Speaker 4: We are back in Penny's room now. Megan enters just
Speaker 4: as these stuffed horses on its way to the microwave. Okay,
Speaker 4: she breaks at that and tells them everything the story goes.
Speaker 4: In order to prove to her sister that she could
Speaker 4: keep her mouth shut, Penny hid a note that was
Speaker 4: left in the bathroom mirror this morning. It was from
Speaker 4: Anna Maria saying she went on a B day hike alone.
Speaker 4: With that, they run off, leaving Penny tied to the bed.
Speaker 4: We're now out on a hiking trail. The girls all
Speaker 4: scream out for Anna Maria and they find her sleeping
Speaker 4: on a waterfront park bench. She has two tampons inside
Speaker 4: her nostrils. She says she's good, but asks why she's
Speaker 4: wearing Santa pants. She sees Megan's eyebrow and the duck
Speaker 4: in Veronica's pocket and is obviously even more confused. Anna's
Speaker 4: face hurts and she's bloody and has no idea why.
Speaker 4: All she knows is she couldn't sleep because all she
Speaker 4: was thinking about were the terrible things she said to
Speaker 4: her dad. She came outside to sort things out. She
Speaker 4: loves her dad and wants them to be happy. The
Speaker 4: girls say it's okay to freak out about her family
Speaker 4: because it's changing. They apologize to one another, and now
Speaker 4: it's time to get Anna Maria to her dad's wedding.
Speaker 4: It starts in thirty minutes, which I would have given
Speaker 4: them way more time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't.
Speaker 3: We've got one hour. Yeah, at least an hour.
Speaker 1: Something because they had to deliver the thing at two.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 4: But okay, because all of a sudden, now Anne Maria
Speaker 4: has magically made it to the wedding, just in time,
Speaker 4: the same way they got the magical bikes.
Speaker 2: Apparently.
Speaker 4: They're showered, the hair and makeup is done, she's no
Speaker 4: longer smelly, her face doesn't look bruised, she's got no blood,
Speaker 4: and she tells her dad that she's really happy for him,
Speaker 4: and they hug. Veronica arrives in a teal green fluffy
Speaker 4: coat suit and calls Mikey.
Speaker 1: They're co parenting the duck.
Speaker 4: Veronica reveals she'll be staying at Anna's place while their parents
Speaker 4: hunt and says she'll try to stay out of her way,
Speaker 4: but Anna Maria says, no need. They're cool now, and
Speaker 4: your mom isn't the beast troll with the bad highlights?
Speaker 1: I said she was.
Speaker 4: Anna Maria's dad then tells Anna there's a surprise waiting
Speaker 4: for her by the altar, and it's Megan and Page
Speaker 4: holding a cake, singing Happy Birthday. They hug and freak out.
Speaker 4: They hug and freak out that Megan kissed Jake. Veronica
Speaker 4: says her mom also said yes for another slumber party
Speaker 4: at her house, just as the waiter asked if they
Speaker 4: need plates, and oh man, it's Mesmer.
Speaker 1: What luck.
Speaker 4: He's about to give them the trigger word, but Anna
Speaker 4: Maria pulls them aside. Whatever they remember, they can't hold
Speaker 4: it against each other. Friendship first, and so they make
Speaker 4: the deal. Mesmer says the trigger word is freshman, and
Speaker 4: suddenly they instantly remember everything. Then we get the credits,
Speaker 4: and just like the Hangover, we see clips from the
Speaker 4: slumber party. While dancing, Page accidentally elbowed Anna Maria in
Speaker 4: the nose, causing the blood everywhere. Meghan actually shaved off
Speaker 4: her own eyebrow, and they all.
Speaker 1: T peed Jake's house.
Speaker 4: Veronica also Parkord at Jake's house and is brilliant. We
Speaker 4: see Meghan and Jake on top of the hedgehog moobile
Speaker 4: like Jake and like Jack and Rose from The Titanic,
Speaker 4: and the movie ends with them walking arm in arm
Speaker 4: and then running down the street.
Speaker 1: Sabrina, can we do some real reviews?
Speaker 3: We absolutely can. This first one is a one star
Speaker 3: from Laurie Ooh, Laurie Slow forced movie about mean girls
Speaker 3: who pick on each other and constantly roll their eyes.
Speaker 3: Somehow it was okay for them to be hateful and
Speaker 3: unkind for the entire movie to the overweight, homeschooled Jewish girl.
Speaker 3: Even though she was the most enjoyable character, it was
Speaker 3: boring and unfunny.
Speaker 1: Ori, do they get into the fact that she's Jewish?
Speaker 2: I didn't know she was Jewish?
Speaker 7: She didn't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they pinpointed that out or she's
Speaker 2: just assuming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was weird anyway, I completely and totally disagree
Speaker 1: with you, Lorie.
Speaker 3: I don't think they make one common her weight either,
Speaker 3: do either know? No, I think they just think she's
Speaker 3: different from them in this sense of like she's got
Speaker 3: a really funky little personality, which I end up.
Speaker 2: Enjoying at the end, and so do they like.
Speaker 1: That's the whole point that was weird. I have the
Speaker 1: five star and this is of course from Miao Owens.
Speaker 4: I love this review. The first act of this movie
Speaker 4: had me a bit exhausted as a viewer. I struggle
Speaker 4: to watch in general, that is, until the entire film
Speaker 4: was uplifted by Tyler Gula's performance.
Speaker 1: As an extra.
Speaker 4: He had a certain way of making the background worth
Speaker 4: paying attention to the scenes at the onion Fest, where
Speaker 4: Gula's performance predominantly shines, stood no chance without a support
Speaker 4: I don't normally let one good performance determine the outcome
Speaker 4: of my movie reviews, but it feels insulting and almost
Speaker 4: inhumane not to give this movie the ten out of
Speaker 4: ten that it deserves with Gula's skill and craftsmanship. I
Speaker 4: look forward to a sequel, hopefully where Gula gets more
Speaker 4: scream time. So this was obviously written by Tyler Gula.
Speaker 2: Am I yes, or Tyler best friend, girlfriend, something girl something.
Speaker 1: We did not see it. Tyler, I don't know where
Speaker 1: you were.
Speaker 2: So funny, so strange.
Speaker 4: But five stars and now we get to go into
Speaker 4: Sabrina's favorite part of the program.
Speaker 1: Of course, that is our feature game.
Speaker 4: And we're playing with a new producer today, aren't we
Speaker 4: Who do we have with us today?
Speaker 7: It's Maddie.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Maddie, Welcome to the game.
Speaker 4: This is the game where producer Jensen makes us look
Speaker 4: stupid every week, and I'm sure this week is going
Speaker 4: to be no exception.
Speaker 1: So here we go.
Speaker 4: We've got our game this week is called let slumber
Speaker 4: party sounds creepy. This movie made This movie sure made
Speaker 4: slumber parties look fun. So we went to the website
Speaker 4: funboy dot com, which seems like it could be a
Speaker 4: way different website and I'm not googling that.
Speaker 2: Where are we going with this?
Speaker 1: Yikes? And got the ten best games you can play
Speaker 1: at a sleepover.
Speaker 4: You will get five chances to get three right guests
Speaker 4: away and it is not multiple there's no list.
Speaker 1: We just have to guess. Yess, So you go, you
Speaker 1: go one and then I'll go one. How about that?
Speaker 1: Or I go one and you go one with your I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna go with the first one of twister.
Speaker 7: Twister is not on the list.
Speaker 1: No what I'm gonna say? Truth or dare.
Speaker 7: Oh that is correct.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, okay, one for me, sabreena, what do you got?
Speaker 2: It's gonna spin the bottle? But that's not probably.
Speaker 1: It might be it might be.
Speaker 2: No, because I only get five chants I find spin
Speaker 2: the bottle.
Speaker 7: It's on the list.
Speaker 2: There you go on the slumber party list. This is okay,
Speaker 2: it's a proastic.
Speaker 4: It's also I guess it would. The question is how
Speaker 4: old the slumber party is this? I mean, is this
Speaker 4: slumber party or a sleepover? Because I could easily say
Speaker 4: pong are or not pong beer pong? But I'm not
Speaker 4: sure that. It's like is this for kids? Like what
Speaker 4: kind of slumber part? So I'll say charades?
Speaker 7: Yes, good job.
Speaker 1: Two for me, what do you got to bring?
Speaker 2: Okay, another game?
Speaker 4: By the way, technically we won because the way Jensen
Speaker 4: wrote this is we had to guess three together with
Speaker 4: five guesses, and we've already won.
Speaker 1: But you guess again.
Speaker 2: Let' see if we can each get Let's see, like
Speaker 2: I guess a game. I don't know any other games?
Speaker 2: Hide and seek? Yeah? Is it okay?
Speaker 8: I kind of like, let you have that one? But yes,
Speaker 8: that is correct?
Speaker 2: What does it actually say that.
Speaker 1: Hide and Seek?
Speaker 7: But it wasn't like, you know, you didn't lock in
Speaker 7: your answer.
Speaker 2: I but try to think of like.
Speaker 1: I got one, what's my turn?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: You don't I know? I know? O GI board?
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, okay, say no, I'm going to say
Speaker 7: no for that one.
Speaker 2: Well okay, wow, So it's not a weedy board.
Speaker 1: Interesting?
Speaker 2: No, one of my favorite ones that we used to do.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, stiff is a board.
Speaker 3: Oh. I hated that I always had to go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom when everyone else was doing that.
Speaker 1: It freaks me out.
Speaker 2: What is it called when you have a list of
Speaker 2: stuff and you have to go door to door? What
Speaker 2: is that called?
Speaker 1: Like it's a treasure hunt?
Speaker 2: No, it's not called treasure hunt, but it is that idea.
Speaker 7: Ding dong ditching?
Speaker 2: No is that on the list?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's it's I guess it's I guess it
Speaker 3: could be called treasure hunt, but it's there's another like
Speaker 3: little bit a different name. But you know, like that
Speaker 3: list that was my favorite thing to do, like going
Speaker 3: to the neighborhood and being like.
Speaker 2: Can we get two rolls of toilet paper? Do you stuff?
Speaker 1: Is it not called the treasure hunt?
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. I think it's something else,
Speaker 2: but we'll call it treasure hunt? Is that on it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, hang on a sorry.
Speaker 4: Are you thinking of scavenger hunt?
Speaker 3: Scavenger hunt? Yes, I loved that. That was so fun.
Speaker 7: Okay, scavenger hunt is on there.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a treasure hunt.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I trying to figure out kind of what that was. Okay, yes,
Speaker 7: you got so.
Speaker 1: We got most of them. Then I think, what are
Speaker 1: the ones we didn't get?
Speaker 8: Okay, so you didn't get a pillow fight, which is
Speaker 8: a class balloon stomp.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure what that is.
Speaker 1: I think it's just blowing up balloons then popping them.
Speaker 1: What a stupid game?
Speaker 2: Well, there's there.
Speaker 3: There is one where you have to like it's like
Speaker 3: you get into two teams and like you have to
Speaker 3: do like three you have to sit on them and
Speaker 3: try to pop them faster.
Speaker 1: Than unless unless there's one balloon in there that has
Speaker 1: a needle. That's not fun. That's when you're that's when
Speaker 1: it's a game.
Speaker 4: When you hear one friend like like a billy found it.
Speaker 7: So that's on there. And then Movie Night Marathon is
Speaker 7: also one of the game. I know I wouldn't consider that.
Speaker 1: I can't believe board isn't on there.
Speaker 7: I know, so I'll tell you so.
Speaker 8: Number nine was blind folded makeup, which is very specifica
Speaker 8: and then number ten This is where I was like, well,
Speaker 8: you didn't quite get it.
Speaker 7: It's board games.
Speaker 2: That's different though, Gotta.
Speaker 7: That's gonna be like a sorry or you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, board was like you would always do something that
Speaker 1: got a little.
Speaker 3: Scary, that kind of yes, right, yeah, or like scary
Speaker 3: storytelling time kidding.
Speaker 4: By seventh grade, we were just playing smoke as many
Speaker 4: cigarettes as you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was not a good game. Can we do
Speaker 1: the Sabrina ces please?
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: The first thing that pops in my head when we
Speaker 3: see this hedgehog is I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: the Disney version of a shag and wagon from.
Speaker 2: Dumb and Dumber. I loved it. It was awesome.
Speaker 3: The the Grasshopper phone is what it's called. I thought
Speaker 3: was absolutely genius, and I thought you were gonna love it,
Speaker 3: because I'm like Will wishes his phone to.
Speaker 1: Tell ye, I love that.
Speaker 3: I love it, And I thought it was genius as
Speaker 3: far as you know what parents think about having like
Speaker 3: a smartphone, having so many like so much access to
Speaker 3: the internet and all that stuff versus it being really
Speaker 3: about what it should be. Is like the ability to
Speaker 3: communicate back and forth with your parents. I thought that
Speaker 3: was actually really awesome. And then quick, quick, quick story.
Speaker 3: So as I went to watch this movie, I turned
Speaker 3: on Disney Plus and I got, you know, the full page,
Speaker 3: and there was this thing of Richard Simmons and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm like, oh my goodness, he passed
Speaker 3: away not long ago. So I watched the trailer to
Speaker 3: the Richard Simmons like docuies, not docuseries, but like it's
Speaker 3: gonna be with Barbara Walters and all that stuff, documentary
Speaker 3: about him and his life and interview and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: And I literally watched it and then what we're into
Speaker 3: the movie like three or four minutes.
Speaker 2: And there he is.
Speaker 3: I'm like, first of all these kids even knowing about
Speaker 3: a Richard Simmons is hilarious to me. Again, then it
Speaker 3: opened my eyes into looking into this basement.
Speaker 2: We already went through it.
Speaker 3: I don't have to do it, but like this basement
Speaker 3: is of a not just one generation, but you're going
Speaker 3: down like multiple generations. Stuff is like transform very cool.
Speaker 2: But like not really very realistic.
Speaker 1: I don't think, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2: But I loved the set decoration of it. I thought
Speaker 2: it was so.
Speaker 3: So awesome, I thought again, And now we're venturing onto
Speaker 3: this Disney not Disney.
Speaker 2: Type d com.
Speaker 3: The parents letting this older man downstairs into this basement
Speaker 3: without any supervision hypnotizing these kids was weird to me
Speaker 3: really right from there.
Speaker 4: Yes, like I wasn't on our list of things to
Speaker 4: do at night in this slumber party, have a strange
Speaker 4: man come and.
Speaker 3: Hypnotize you, like if that's gonna happen, and they're gonna
Speaker 3: there's gonna be I'm gonna be down in this basement
Speaker 3: watching this man, like probably making Jordan come down there
Speaker 3: with me.
Speaker 4: Question I have to ask, even at fourteen, Yes, really, yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay because the basement that's so like it would
Speaker 3: be different like here in my house, like open format,
Speaker 3: like if this was at my house like and they
Speaker 3: were in like the family room, I would be in
Speaker 3: the kitchen or the living room, like somewhere where I
Speaker 3: can hear what's going on.
Speaker 2: I can easily see it.
Speaker 3: You're not going down in the basement with my daughters
Speaker 3: and like her three best friends doing nothing without me
Speaker 3: in there, Sir, sir, sorry, not happening.
Speaker 2: That was so weird.
Speaker 3: Now we get to the and so then that was
Speaker 3: like a part of me where I'm like, Disney.
Speaker 2: What's going on? I can see that starting to freak
Speaker 2: me out. The what the duck that happened?
Speaker 3: The first one with it on the screen, and we
Speaker 3: get like, what what WTD? Is Okay, that's fine, WTD
Speaker 3: because it's the same thing as saying like WTF instead
Speaker 3: of saying the actual words. Right, But then we fast
Speaker 3: forward later into the movie, right after the Onion Festival,
Speaker 3: when Page actually says what the duck? And then I
Speaker 3: was like, not cool, not cool, because this is now
Speaker 3: going okay. Am I having to screen d coms before
Speaker 3: I allow Hi Monroe to watch them, because at this
Speaker 3: point I would watch I would let her watch any Zombies,
Speaker 3: any Descendants.
Speaker 2: I would let her.
Speaker 3: Without seeing it before it all, knowing that they're appropriate.
Speaker 3: There's nothing that's gonna shock me. There's not something that
Speaker 3: she's going to repeat that's gonna piss me off. And
Speaker 3: if she repeats what the duck to me, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be pissed.
Speaker 2: I am gonna be sopid.
Speaker 3: So that's the only thing where I'm like Disney, I
Speaker 3: get that we're aging it up or we're gonna do whatever,
Speaker 3: but like, if we don't know the boundaries as parents,
Speaker 3: then we can't just like willfully let you like you know,
Speaker 3: like I scream pretty much everything that she watches, but
Speaker 3: I don't screen anything that's on Disney on her Disney
Speaker 3: channel stuff like or what is the kid's version.
Speaker 2: Of Disney stuff?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So that's when I was just.
Speaker 4: Like, Okay, hey, I don't have kids, so I don't
Speaker 4: ever have to worry about this stuff.
Speaker 1: But that's tenament.
Speaker 4: I mean if she now, would you get a call
Speaker 4: from school if she started saying what the duck to
Speaker 4: everything going on?
Speaker 1: Like, oh what the duck? Would would the school call
Speaker 1: and be like she's not really swearing?
Speaker 2: But I don't think i'd get a call.
Speaker 3: I think at pick up the teacher with she because
Speaker 3: she goes to a a private Christian school, so I
Speaker 3: think they would be it the elementary school that I
Speaker 3: eventually went to, like when I was like, so, I
Speaker 3: went to this private Christian school until fourth grade. If
Speaker 3: I was at my public elementary from my experience, I
Speaker 3: don't know if they would have said anything, Okay, so
Speaker 3: that's where I learned when I went to public school
Speaker 3: at fourth grade. And then this is I'm still but
Speaker 3: like that was jumping still in my notes in the
Speaker 3: the order of things, I'm like, why were these kids drugged?
Speaker 3: Like the more that they keep talking about.
Speaker 1: It, I'm like, I were they were hypnotized?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but it was. It was kind of
Speaker 3: getting a little scary for me.
Speaker 2: I loved the we you.
Speaker 3: Jensen didn't put it in the script, but the name
Speaker 3: of the company that Mesmer came from was Captain Bootleg
Speaker 3: Character Parties. I loved that name, Captain Bootleg Character Parties.
Speaker 2: That was so good. The next one was there's a
Speaker 2: lot of them.
Speaker 3: The brother in the car who is the getaway car
Speaker 3: is literally going to wait until they get in the
Speaker 3: car to then turn on the car getaway car.
Speaker 4: Why is the car not I told you to leave
Speaker 4: it running in front of the bank.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, Mikey.
Speaker 3: I've never done it ever, but I know that role.
Speaker 3: And then the eating of the onions killed me. Could
Speaker 3: you even imagine you've ate a whole onion?
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know if I've done a whole onion,
Speaker 4: but I've taken big bites out of an onion, like
Speaker 4: an apple, sure.
Speaker 2: But an entire onion.
Speaker 3: Think about how Yeah I see an acidic that would.
Speaker 1: Be the worst part. Yeah, but the flavor. I love
Speaker 1: an onion.
Speaker 3: Yes, And then we are talked about the first kiss.
Speaker 3: The hike alone threw me off because she didn't want
Speaker 3: to go on the hike.
Speaker 1: To begin her dad. She didn't want to go with
Speaker 1: her dad, so she was going by herself to come.
Speaker 3: But she said, some stupid hike, right, she was doing
Speaker 3: she was doing that specifically to.
Speaker 1: Hurt her father.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, fine, I'll go past that.
Speaker 3: The last thing I want to say is at this
Speaker 3: age in junior high, you getting to wear your crushes
Speaker 3: sweatshirt and actually him giving it to her and saying
Speaker 3: she can keep it huge.
Speaker 2: They might as well be married.
Speaker 3: And I remember that like being the I remember the
Speaker 3: first time I got to like wear my crush and
Speaker 3: we were kind of seeing like it was that whole junior.
Speaker 2: High thing and wear it home and it smelt like cool.
Speaker 3: Waters his cologne, and I kept it forever, like I mean, oh,
Speaker 3: that was the best. Because boys always had the best sweatshirts.
Speaker 2: They were obvious. Oh no, I don't have it.
Speaker 3: I actually one time at a garage sale and I
Speaker 3: sold all of my exes.
Speaker 2: Dollar.
Speaker 1: How many did you have?
Speaker 3: I collect sweatshirts anyway, like I probably have over a
Speaker 3: hundred of them. But I went through all of mine
Speaker 3: and I kept finding ones that like they were guys
Speaker 3: that like I had dated, and I was like, I
Speaker 3: got to get rid of these, and we were already
Speaker 3: having a garage sale, and so I just won by
Speaker 3: one said, and I made a dollar.
Speaker 4: Oh god, it's so funny. So nice to know what
Speaker 4: your exes mean to you if they mean a.
Speaker 2: Dollar, not even that for free. Nice.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you so much.
Speaker 4: By the way, I will add another little quick story
Speaker 4: because you brought him up. When I was on Nickelodeon,
Speaker 4: my co host, one of my co hosts, Wendy Douglas,
Speaker 4: and I were flown out to Lot Angeles to interview
Speaker 4: a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: And one of the days we had was with Richard Simmons.
Speaker 4: And so we walk into his studio and we're waiting
Speaker 4: there for him, and he gets there a little bit late.
Speaker 4: There's all these people there ready to take one of
Speaker 4: his classes, and he walks in. He goes, well, Wendy
Speaker 4: and he starts throwing his VHS's at.
Speaker 1: Us, Take man, take my tapes, Take my tapes, and
Speaker 1: we're like grabbing him out of the air.
Speaker 4: And then he kicked out the camera crew and just
Speaker 4: kept Wendy and I in there for the class where
Speaker 4: first we did the sweating to the oldies a little bit,
Speaker 4: and then we all sat in a circle and he
Speaker 4: read letters from some of his fans talking about how
Speaker 4: he helped save their life and stuff, and he was
Speaker 4: openly weeping as he's reading these letters with all these people,
Speaker 4: and again he wouldn't allow cameras in. They were not
Speaker 4: allowed to so it was just Wendy and I there
Speaker 4: with all these other people that had just taken the class.
Speaker 4: There's probably twenty five of us in a circle just
Speaker 4: sitting down as he's reading these letters and crying. I knew,
Speaker 4: I quote unquote knew the man for two hours, and
Speaker 4: it's all I needed to know exactly the type of
Speaker 4: person he was.
Speaker 1: He was just so sweet and so it was.
Speaker 3: It was one of those and took what his mission
Speaker 3: was so seriously.
Speaker 1: He was he was big at one point of his life.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was that was.
Speaker 3: And knew knew how much it was so many people,
Speaker 3: and I'm sure the way I can't wait to watch
Speaker 3: the documentary because I'm sure there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 3: of like kind of sadness with it, but like the weight,
Speaker 3: the weight on his.
Speaker 2: Shoulders that he must have carried because.
Speaker 3: So many people really did love and he was you know,
Speaker 3: all the love and the energy he brought to this world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, very cool guy.
Speaker 4: Now it's time in our program where we are going
Speaker 4: to score the last film that we saw. Are options
Speaker 4: this week? Well, first of all, going to go one
Speaker 4: to ten. Okay, five is going to be the middle. Okay,
Speaker 4: So here we go. Uh one out of ten tiny
Speaker 4: tiny green cell phones, Brian Austin, green VHS tapes one
Speaker 4: out of ten, new telenames one out of ten, fart
Speaker 4: sneezes one out of ten, mystery bikes one out of ten,
Speaker 4: onion munches, d com curse words one out of ten,
Speaker 4: Touching knees are one out of ten.
Speaker 1: Extras named Tyler Goulas. What would you like to pick this?
Speaker 2: I kind of can't. I can't really. I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with fart sneezes just because it's.
Speaker 1: Because it's funny to say I'm glad you did.
Speaker 2: And I'm an eight year old kid, exactly an eight
Speaker 2: year old boy, that's all I am.
Speaker 1: I think you're first this time.
Speaker 3: I think I went, yes, I got to pick and
Speaker 3: I I okay.
Speaker 2: It's hard to judge. As a movie. I liked it.
Speaker 2: I thought it was great as a d comet through
Speaker 2: me multiple.
Speaker 3: Times because when I watch these movies now, and I
Speaker 3: guess we're coming up onto a different world of d coms.
Speaker 2: I guess is what this is becoming.
Speaker 3: When I watch d COM's, it's like I look for
Speaker 3: things that I'm like, oh, this would really resonate. I
Speaker 3: hope when Winroe gets to a certain age, this would
Speaker 3: be it. Now, this is a coming of age. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't let Monroe watch this.
Speaker 2: Until she was like thirteen twelve or thirteen twelve.
Speaker 3: Probably I wouldn't let her watch it now because again
Speaker 3: I'm scared she's gonna start repeating something I don't wonder.
Speaker 3: But in general, as a kid's movie, let's call it
Speaker 3: a tweens movie.
Speaker 2: I thought it was great and I liked it.
Speaker 3: I thought there was a time the Onion, that whole
Speaker 3: Onion aspect probably could have been taken away.
Speaker 2: It really didn't do anything for the storyline except give
Speaker 2: us Veronica's park or.
Speaker 3: Fall, yes, which is great, which was kind of worth it.
Speaker 3: But other than that not necessary. Even the saving of
Speaker 3: the ducks, those were kind of missions that didn't.
Speaker 1: They're just it's just supposed to get you to the
Speaker 1: next one.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, just getting you to the next But I
Speaker 3: thought it was a great little young Disney take on
Speaker 3: The Hangover. I love the Over, so seeing a younger
Speaker 3: version was actually very fun and I get it, and
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I thought I forgot what I was doing there.
Speaker 3: And I would give this a seven point five fart sneezes, okay,
Speaker 3: sneeze which starts sneezes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what you want. You want to fart sneeze,
Speaker 4: you don't want to sneeze?
Speaker 1: Part two different things? Uh that? To be honest, she
Speaker 1: did a sneeze. Fart is what it should be.
Speaker 4: You know. I I can only look at what dcoms are,
Speaker 4: so if this is what dcom is now, then I
Speaker 4: can only watch it as a movie as this is
Speaker 4: the dcom. We thought the same thing with Prompact, where
Speaker 4: it's just they're obviously kids are changing, or at least
Speaker 4: what kids are being shown is changing, and this is
Speaker 4: kind of the new wave. That said, I really liked
Speaker 4: this movie. I thought the cast was great, It moved quickly,
Speaker 4: it was laugh out loud, funny at times. I loved
Speaker 4: the relationship between her and her love interest. You're just
Speaker 4: rooting for them. I thought this was a solid movie
Speaker 4: all the way around. And I'm actually giving this an
Speaker 4: eight point five.
Speaker 1: Wow, fart sneezes or sneeze farts this was.
Speaker 4: I thought, really, it could even be a nine. I mean,
Speaker 4: this was just this was a solid movie all the
Speaker 4: way around. And again I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna change. It's gonna be a nine. It's
Speaker 1: this was.
Speaker 4: This was a good movie. The script was good, the
Speaker 4: acting was good, the direction was good. The music was good.
Speaker 4: It moved you cared about people. The dialogue was witty. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so this is this is a nine.
Speaker 1: Fart sneezes for me. I thought this was a very
Speaker 1: fun movie. I really did. But is our next movie
Speaker 1: gonna be fun? There is the question.
Speaker 4: Our next movie takes us back to the niche category
Speaker 4: of sci fi d com with the nineteen ninety nine
Speaker 4: alien comedy Can of Worms.
Speaker 1: Oh no, never heard it? Is it bad? Okay? Never?
Speaker 1: Oh no, never heard of it?
Speaker 4: And it's currently on Disney Plus for you to watch early,
Speaker 4: so jump in and get ready.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, this week we have.

Speaker 1: Take a listen at what you can expect. When did
Speaker 1: you first hear about Phantom the Megaplex?
Speaker 9: It was just in the queue, it was right, I
Speaker 9: think it was. It might have been right after like
Speaker 9: auditioning for the thirteenth year and I had gone out
Speaker 9: for so many Disney originals. I was just like, oh god,
Speaker 9: another one, you know, and it it just clicked. I remember,
Speaker 9: I got it. It was I remember leaving to fly
Speaker 9: to Toronto, July third of the year that I turned sixteen,
Speaker 9: so that was two thousand.
Speaker 1: Very excited for everyone to hear that one.
Speaker 4: Imagine being on the pit and someone calls to talk
Speaker 4: to you about Phantom.
Speaker 1: Of the Megaplex.
