1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: Hey guys, so apparently our producers just or you guys

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: just love it when I talk about Jonas brothers. I'm

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: just so casual with the name. Jonas was like a

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Jonas Jonas everybody knows. Okay, Well, last night, Jared and

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: I got to do something fun, so I've been requested

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: to talk about it. We went to the premiere of

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: their new movie, A very Jonas Christmas Movie, and it

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: far exceeded expectations. Jared, wasn't it just the most pleasant

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: night of all time? I had so much fun last night.

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Everything about last night was actually perfect. So we walk

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: into the theater and the first person, the first two

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: people we see in the theater are people we know.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: So it's already like starting off to like a fun vibe,

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: being like, oh my gosh, you're here. It was funny

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: because so many people we didn't know who the heck

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: was going to be there, up for Susie, but everybody

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: who we ran into that we knew. They were like,

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, of course you're here. We all we

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: were all expecting you to be here. So I'm just

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: glad that I'm like expected at Jonas events and I'm

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: just like so honored Jared that like I get like

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: to be invited to those things and like to be

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: able to just be part of that community, and that

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: fandom is just it never gets old and it's so

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: much fun every single time. And last night was one

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: of my favorite Jonas memories truly because I start to finish,

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: it was just a blast, great energy, grade vibes, great

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: movie guys. It comes out on November fourteenth on Disney

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: Plus and Hulu. We are not like you'd think that

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: they'd be paying us to be for me to be

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: talking about this movie so much, but I just loved it.

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the movie for me.

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: It was the movie for me. Was surprisingly, very funny.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: Ifully find that he said surprising because.

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be as honest and objective as possible. So

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: because you're not objective. No, but that's quite all right

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: because this movie was clearly made for Jonas Brothers fans.

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it was unapologetically for Jonas fans. But that's

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: I'm glad they did that because it would have been

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: far worse if they try to do a Hallmark Christmas

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: movie starring the Jonas brothers as themselves, but not really

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: dive into their relationship or be what's the word I'm

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: looking for, uh, a bigger version of themselves. Like they

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: lean into the characteristics that people know them as, Like

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: Joe is the playboy, Kevin's the boring one, and Nick

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: is like the anal one.

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: But he's not supposed to be the boring one.

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: He's supposed to be like the one that people like,

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: the normal one that everybody nicks.

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: The relatable one, relatable one, but they put in the movie,

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 4: they put they they lean into the idea that he

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: is quote unquote the boring one because they try to.

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: But what my point is singing the spotlight's not on,

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: they literally say in the movie. And this is not

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: a spoiler that the brothers say, Oh he's a you're

58
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: a cardboard cutout.

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, because like he doesn't because he doesn't sing right, No,

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: because and the whole thing is that like he wants

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: to sing.

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: So my point being, I love celebrities who are not

64
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: afraid to lean into what people think about them and

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: make fun of him. And they did that. You know,

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: they didn't shy it. They were just very self aware

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: and there was a lot of funny moments in there.

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: As someone for myself who is aware of the Jonahs'

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: brothers of course, and I know them pretty well, and

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: you know, with their personalities quoth they're super talented and

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: they make really good music, but in terms of who

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: they are as people and their relationship with as being brothers,

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: like I know a little bit about it, and so

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: seeing them kind of interact in a way that heightens that.

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: And they didn't shy away from it, and they made

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: fun of themselves and they made fun of their relationship

77
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: and it was it was really great to see because

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: I think anybody who sees celebrities make fun of themselves,

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: it just makes them more endearing. And after watching the movie,

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: I find the Jonas brothers even more endearing than I

81
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: did before.

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: There was this one moment that he turns to me

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: and goes, should we have a third boy?

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: Because they there's this I mean, they're again not a spoiler,

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: but of course there's flashback scenes of them young, you know,

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: with their parents at Christmas, and you know, it's it's

88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: it's great to see because it's cool seeing where they

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: are now, but seeing where they came from and their upbringing.

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: So but the movie itself very funny, surprise again, surprising them,

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: saying that because I did not think I was going

92
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: to be laughing, and I laughed pretty consistently throughout the

93
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 4: entire movie. Now, listen, it's a Disney plus movie, So like,

94
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: don't this is not Schindler's List, you know what I mean?

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: This is not this is not Shakespeare, but it's not

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: meant to be, which is another thing that I really

97
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: appreciate appreciate about the movie. It's an hour in twenty minutes.

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: It flies by.

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: He loves an hour and twenty minute movie. It's so

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 2: refreshing because they're all so long these days.

101
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if this movie is two and a

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: half hours a bit, what is going on? But they

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: the movie knows exactly what it is, and I appreciate that,

104
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: and I love the movie because of it.

105
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: You know how, a lot of movies, especially comedies, I

106
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: feel I think that a perfect example is Elf. It's

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: a Christmas movie as well. It's like strong, strong, strong,

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: strong strong. The humor is just like on point, like

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: for like forty five to an hour, and then the

110
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: last half an hour it's just like, oh, I get

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: serious you know, I was waiting for the moment where

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: we got serious here and we never did, and so

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: it just was straight through fun. You never have that offbeat,

114
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: and I guess at the end it gets a little

115
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: bit more emotional.

116
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 4: Of course there's a resolution, there's you know, character arcs,

117
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 4: but the movie never overstays.

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: It's welcome he will, but yeah, it's just like it.

119
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: It.

120
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: I never felt like, all right, let's wrap this thing up.

121
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: It was just always like it was a pleasant ride.

122
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it as someone who's obviously AH a surface

123
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: level Jonas Brothers fan, and so I think that's a

124
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: compliment to the movie because it's not. It's not made

125
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: for me, it's made for Ashley. But I enjoyed it too, exactly.

126
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: And we had a friend there who's like a movie

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: He does movie reviews and he does movie interviews. He

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: does it with really big celebrities, and I was like,

129
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: what are you even doing here? And he was like,

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: I mean I was invited and it was fun. He's like,

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: this is not what I typically would talk about, but

132
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: I had a good time in there. I also loved Yeah,

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: so to go back to something that I do want

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: to talk about, with Jared, you said it was for me,

135
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: but would you, and you would say that even if

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: you're not a Jonas fan, should you watch it? I mean,

137
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: did you find that there was too many inside jokes,

138
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: too much that you needed to know?

139
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 4: I mean you have to be a Jonas Brothers fan

140
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: to watch the show, or at least like you know

141
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 4: decently know them like I do, or even if you

142
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: don't know them as well as I do. I think

143
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: you'll still find a lot of enjoyment in this movie.

144
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: But if you've never heard of the Jonas Brothers, you're

145
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: not gonna like this.

146
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: Also not listening to this podcast.

147
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: No.

148
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: My point being is that the movie is called a

149
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: very Jonas Christmas and what I appreciate it is the

150
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: title is not misleading at all, like this is very

151
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: much a Jonas Brothers Christmas movie, but to the film's credit,

152
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: like that's exactly what it is. There's no misleading here,

153
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 4: there is no false marketing like this is a Jonas

154
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: Brothers Christmas movie.

155
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: A few more things. Jared is the expert reviewer, but

156
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: I just really want to emphasize it is so self deprecating.

157
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: It is tongue in cheek, It is very self aware

158
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: they see. One of my favorite things about it was

159
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: that it maybe it seemed like we the fans have

160
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: inside jokes with them because all of their stereotypes they

161
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: bring to the surface and they lean in on them,

162
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Like there's this one joke that really stuck with me

163
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: because I think about it all the time. And my

164
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: friends and I my like my Jonas friends and I

165
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: have a group chat and like we one time talked

166
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: about this. Joe did an ad for botox, not actual botox,

167
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: like one of the other brands of a bachelin and

168
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: toxin And this was like a year ago, and we

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: were talking about how he didn't add for botox, and

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: they make fun of him for doing that. In the movie,

171
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: They're like, you say yes to every ad, And I'm like,

172
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: this is the kind of humor that is straight up

173
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: my alley. It's very millennial based humor. It's also like

174
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: there's a lot of parent humor in it. Basically, like

175
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: anyone who's in their age group, you know, mid thirties,

176
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: you are going to I think anybody in their mid

177
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: thirties could enjoy this as well, even if you're not

178
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 2: a Jonahs fan.

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, you have to be aware of the Jonahs brothers,

180
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: you know.

181
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think that what's great about it as

182
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: well as they lean into the stereotypes of people think

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: about them, they make fun of themselves.

184
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: They make fun of the stereotypes.

185
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 4: And I again, I I just I give the Jonas

186
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: brothers credit for doing that, because it's very easy, especially

187
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: for a list celebrities like themselves, to not want to,

188
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: you know, showcase more of the stereotypes of what people

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: think about them exactly.

190
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: They leaned into.

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: They leaned into it so funny. That's what made it

192
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 4: so good. They just they they had fun. They had

193
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. And what was cool as well

194
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 4: seeing their dynamic together because clearly they have great chemistry.

195
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: They're brothers in real life.

196
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: Their acting was like pretty good because I think it

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: wasn't all it was really like not active.

198
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: That's what I mean. They have they have great chemistry.

199
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 4: Like my favorite parts of the movie are the three

200
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: of them together. Yeah, you know, they all have separate

201
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: storylines and again those all kind of fit into the

202
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: overall story. But my favorite moments of the movie, and

203
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: I think the most enjoyment and the funniest parts of

204
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: the movie are the three of them to get just

205
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: kind of making fun of each other, and it's fun

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 4: to see.

207
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: Two more points that I want to make about the

208
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: movie itself. I'm so sorry we're boring you guys to tears.

209
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: But I went into it thinking it was gonna be

210
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: very like cheesy original like Disney Channel movie like Camp Rock.

211
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: Like I thought it was just gonna be like camp

212
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: Rock again. And of course camp Rock was really fun

213
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: when I was a teenager, but I don't at thirty

214
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: seven want to see Camp Rock. I mean, like, I

215
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: will watch it with Dawson and it'll be fun and nostalgic,

216
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: but like, I want this. I was so surprised that

217
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: this was just a fun movie from my age and

218
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: they're just so smart about that. And then my second

219
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: point was that they they're producers on it, and I

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: feel like you can really tell. It's almost as if

221
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: they like took the writers and they were like, hey, guys,

222
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: why don't you like follow us around to shadow us

223
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: for a month, to like see what our general chemistry

224
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: is as brothers, and like right around what you see.

225
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the movie is better than it should be. And

226
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: again that's a credit to everybody involved. You know, because

227
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: when you see a very Jonas Christmas, you're like, this

228
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 4: is gonna be dumb, and it wasn't. It was not

229
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: dumb at all. I didn't think it was dumb, of course,

230
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: you know, it's you know there.

231
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: I was like, is this gonna be a movie that

232
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: I watched once? I'm like, okay, I'm done. No, I'm like,

233
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch it all holiday seasons.

234
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

235
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: Again, if you're a Jonas Brothers fan, you will absolutely

236
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 4: adore this movie. There is new Christmas music in it

237
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: by the Jonas Brothers.

238
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: They're better in the movie even than you if when

239
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: you hear the tracks. They're good songs, catchy.

240
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: They're catchy songs, they're Christmas songs. And also again, they

241
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: do a great job of leaning into the absurdity of

242
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: them just starting to sing original Christmas music in this movie,

243
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: Like they break the fourth wall a couple of times

244
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: and let the audience in on the joke while they're singing,

245
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: and it's great. They just never take themselves too seriously,

246
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: and I think, again, credit to them, because not everybody

247
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: does that.

248
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: Thanks baby. Like I didn't like their roast they did

249
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: the roast on Netflix, remember years ago, it's like COVID.

250
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. You and I.

251
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: You did see it. You were like watching in the background,

252
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: and we were like, oh my gosh, I think I

253
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: don't even finish it. I we just Jared and I

254
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: just don't like roast in general. I didn't lot like

255
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: Bears I did. We did not even watch Tom Brady's I.

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: Saw clips of it. But yeah, it just goes like

257
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 4: it's just some some are funny, some or not. Again,

258
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: I think a roast overstays. It's welcome a lot of times.

259
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: If a roast was like forty five minutes and they

260
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 4: had like not even maybe but like, you know, people

261
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: very important to that person's life making fun of them,

262
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: that's very funny stuff.

263
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm in.

264
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: But it's just like, how long do these roasts have

265
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: to be? And with this movie, you know, it's like

266
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: an hour twenty minutes of a decent story and a

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: lot of funny parts in good chemistry between the brothers

268
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: that you're invested in, and then it's over and you're like,

269
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 4: you know what, that was fun?

270
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, we have a couple of questions

271
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: from our producer and we will wrap this up. I'm

272
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: so sorry. I didn't realize I was going to drag

273
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: out this Jonas episode so long, but huh, it is

274
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: a Jonas episode. So she's saying, did we get to

275
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: talk to them at the after party? We talked to

276
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: Kevin and Danielle and they were just so sweet as always. Yeah,

277
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: they're so wonderful. Yeah, it was really And then my second,

278
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: the second question here is how would you rank this

279
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: in your top Christmas movies? It's something I did tell

280
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: Govin I go on the carpet we were asked. It

281
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: was kind of a weird question to be asked because

282
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: I don't think the reporter realized that I hadn't seen

283
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: the movie yet. No, it was like, what would you

284
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: pick this or like your favorite Christmas movie?

285
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: They said every other Christmas movie, So you'd have to

286
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: either take away every other Christmas movie and keep a

287
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: very Jonas Christmas or get rid of a very Jonus

288
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: Christmas and then you get to keep every other Christmas movie.

289
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I'm going if my favorite

290
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: Christmas movie is is Home Alone? And I haven't seen this,

291
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: so like I'm obviously going to keep Home Alone. And

292
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: of course I'm still going to keep Home alone in

293
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: the Holiday.

294
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: They're better movies.

295
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: Oh, they're just like absolutely timeless classics. But I will

296
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: tell you of the past twenty years because The Holiday

297
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: came out almost twenty years ago, nineteen years ago. This

298
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: is my favorite and a very since then. I just

299
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: loved it so much.

300
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot to love in the movie.

301
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, I say thank you. I am proud. I

302
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: am proud of my Jonas boys.

303
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think I think a lot of people

304
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: are going to enjoy this movie.

305
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to get critically acclaimed.

306
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: I think people will say their surprised though in reviews.

307
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: But I yeah, I would say that.

308
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of people reviewing this movie, you know,

309
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: movie critics, I think a majority of them will say,

310
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: you know what it was, you know, it was fun.

311
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: I think a lot of them are obviously gonna it's yeah.

312
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what are they Are they really going to

313
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: take this seriously reviewing a Jonas movie?

314
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: They might, I mean, if you take it seriously, yeah,

315
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: of course.

316
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: And even if even if they're taking it seriously, they

317
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: should be like, oh, it's cool.

318
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: Much better than anticipated, and it gives some insight into

319
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: the brothers relationship too, things that you may not have

320
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: known prior, Like we know because Ashley makes me aware

321
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: of it, but like things with Kevin and how you

322
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: know his storyline goes throughout the movie, if like things

323
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: that he wants to present to his brothers, or like

324
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: things with Nick about like how Joe and Kevin's relationship

325
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: is different than you know Nick and Joan Kevin's relationship.

326
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: So like, there is some things in the movie that

327
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: are really cool to see, like things that I was

328
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: aware of. Again, that's why I was like, Wow, I'm

329
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 4: I'm happy they leaned into it, because not everybody would

330
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: do that. But if you're not aware of these things

331
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: and you know, it's pretty interesting to be like I

332
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: didn't that the brothers had this type of relationship.

333
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: What about the cameos, because there were a lot of them.

334
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: There's a cameo. We won't spoil it, but there's a cameo.

335
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: I mean a big actor, a big actor in the

336
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: very first scene in the movie and we.

337
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: Were all taken aback and kind of starts you on

338
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: the ride.

339
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we saw his name in the opening credit. I didn't,

340
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 4: and then I was like he's I was like, oh,

341
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: he makes a cameo in this movie, and then it's

342
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: just right off the bat opening scene he's in it,

343
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: and you're like, oh, okay, and then you know he's

344
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: he's great in it. It's a super funny cameo. And

345
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: then there's a cameo later in the movie by a

346
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: not as well known actor.

347
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: But some of you guys will know.

348
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: The pilot, the pilot, because I think they're keeping that

349
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: one secret too, because.

350
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a funny cameo.

351
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: He wasn't not the premiere, you'll know.

352
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: Who he is and you're like, Oh, I didn't know

Speaker 3: he was in this. And then and.

354
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: Then the ant, the epic ant from a big fact

Speaker 2: Greek wedding. She is an uber driver.

356
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, could spoil it so funny, but she's in the movie.

357
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: Not that that's a spoiler binding stretch, but it's nice

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: being like, oh, I didn't know she was in this movie.

359
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know him that person was in this movie.

00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: movie for everybody to enjoy.

362
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: Another treat from last night was the fact that we

363
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: got to go to the Plaza Hotel when it's all

364
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: dressed up like humb alone two.

366
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,959

00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: It was so pretty and Disney just went all out.

368
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: It was a grand ballroom. I mean like this was

369
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: such a pretty beautiful. The food was amazing. It wasn't

370

373
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: was really good and the drinks were great. Each one

374
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: was great themed. It was like a I think each

375
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: Jonah's brother had his own drink.

376
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: Probably I saw them drinking mostly the espresso martinis at

377
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: the pictures of.

378
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 4: The Yeah, and there were three drinks, so I think

00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: one for Kevin, one for Nake, and warm for Joe.

380
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: So it was cool.

381
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: You know, everything was themed and it was Christmas and

382
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,560

385
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: Everybody was just great energy.

386
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think again there is a.

387
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: Community, which you always say.

388
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always say if everybody was a Jonas Brothers fan,

389
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: there would be peace on earth because you know, if

390
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 4: you go to a Jonas Brother's concert, or you go

391
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: to an event like this, there is just so much

392
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: happiness and enthusiasm, which I love. Of course, I love

393
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 4: being a part of it.

394
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, babe, and I just love having you there

395
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: for it. It's so nice that I can do this

396
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 2: still married with kids.

397
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: Of course, I would never take your dreams away from you.

398
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: Thank you. And finally, Jared is die Hard at Christmas movie.

399
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm in the minority on this one.

400
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: I know.

401
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: I don't think it's I mean, no.

402
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: That's like I think Catch Me If you Can is

403
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: like the exact same thing, because Catch Me if you

404
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: Can has an ongoing theme of Christmas. But like you

405
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't consider it a Christmas movie.

406
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 4: I define a Christmas movie by I only want to

407
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 4: watch it during the holiday season.

408
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

409
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: I could watch die Hard in July. Yeah, and enjoy

410
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 4: it just as much as I would in December.

411
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: Yes, because I think I would prefer Catch Me if

412
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: you Can in the winter.

413
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: But sure, but you would never Would you watch Home

414
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 4: Alone in May?

415
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't allow myself to do that.

416
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: Would you watch Catch Me if you Can in May?

417
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? I could do that.

418
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: That's the difference for me for my definition of a

419
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: Christmas movie.

420
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: I also think that Gremlins is a Christmas movie too,

421
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: hence why I had Dawson watch it today.

422
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen.

423
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 2: It really watch it any other time. It is very

424
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: Christmas based. The entire setting definitely very Christmas. Is it Halloween?

425
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: It's kind of like the nightm before Christmas. It can

426
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: go from Halloween to Christmas.

427
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, and there's it.

428
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: That's it.

429
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,240
