Speaker 1: Hi, Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Hey, well, I have a question for you. What is
Speaker 2: your favorite trilogy.
Speaker 1: Of all time? Oh?
Speaker 2: It's tough because one of the big questions that I've
Speaker 2: always asked my friends and we've gone back and forth
Speaker 2: on this is is there such a thing as a
Speaker 2: trilogy where all three movies are good?
Speaker 3: Mm?
Speaker 2: And uh, there's a couple I can think of, but
Speaker 2: it's your stretching.
Speaker 3: Believe Karate Kid trilogy? Do they have three of them?
Speaker 2: It was, and Karate Kid three with bad Boy Mike
Speaker 2: Barnes was not particularly good. Yeah, but the How to
Speaker 2: Train Your Dragon movies, all three of those were good. Okay,
Speaker 2: but even Star Wars Jedi and I'm talking when I
Speaker 2: mean Star Wars everyone knows I mean four, five, and
Speaker 2: six Jedi was not that good.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Indiana Joan Temple of Doom.
Speaker 2: People go back and forth, but there's it's technically not
Speaker 2: a trilogy because now there's like five of them.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because it's like I feel like if the
Speaker 3: three were decent and nut oh, back to the future again.
Speaker 1: The third one is not great.
Speaker 2: I don't do.
Speaker 1: The second one really not great. The second one's really not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's definitely hard because there's a bar that's
Speaker 3: set with the first one. If they're doing more, there's
Speaker 3: a bar that's set and the bar is high, right,
Speaker 3: so it's like matrix.
Speaker 1: Not all three were good. No.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even get through the second Avatar whatever. That
Speaker 2: one with the Blue People.
Speaker 3: Oh no.
Speaker 2: The first one was was okay, but it was just
Speaker 2: Dances Dances with Wolves, but it was more expensive, okay,
Speaker 2: And I mean it's literally the same story, literally the
Speaker 2: same story.
Speaker 3: I gotta go watch it.
Speaker 1: Did you watch Dances with Wolves?
Speaker 3: Yes, Dances with Wolves is something I remember more than
Speaker 3: the than Avatar.
Speaker 2: Kevin Costner is a soldier, goes to the front lines
Speaker 2: than get sent to you know, the outpost, becomes part
Speaker 2: of the tribe, becomes I mean.
Speaker 1: It's literally Avatar and then fights.
Speaker 3: Okay the people, yeah, exactly. See will like I love you,
Speaker 3: but sometimes you could just ruin things for me and
Speaker 3: I I feel like it's eight o'clock in the morning
Speaker 3: and I'm not like really ready to have life ruins.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm telling you, I'm telling you, yeah again, how
Speaker 1: to Train Your Dragon. Those three movies, all three of those.
Speaker 3: Are good, okay, So okay, so do you have one
Speaker 3: that you like. I mean, you asked me a question.
Speaker 1: Do you have an answer?
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to find, don't.
Speaker 2: The closest we can get is how to train your
Speaker 2: dragon to all three being good? That's one question. But
Speaker 2: favorite trilogy of all time the original Star Wars. But
Speaker 2: I mean my favorite. There's nineteen of them now, but
Speaker 2: none of those count in my opinion. So it's there's four, five,
Speaker 2: and six for me, and so those those were great.
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings, yes, yes, it's there's times.
Speaker 2: It's just it's a it's a schlog some of our
Speaker 2: producers writing. And Lord of the Rings is good, don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong, but it's And again, I'm a fantasy junkie,
Speaker 2: and I get so much from fantasy fans because I'm
Speaker 2: not a fan of the books.
Speaker 1: By the ninth Hobbit song and the first.
Speaker 2: One, I'm out, Oh really it's you know it's yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean my clo Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, some fantasy fans are a massive Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll die help speed Reader too though, So
Speaker 3: like that, I feel like he has like an upper hand,
Speaker 3: Like I get tired, I can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not long. But the first one especially is
Speaker 1: just you just got it.
Speaker 3: They're not long, aren't they really long books? They're not
Speaker 3: like Game of Throne style books. There's no again.
Speaker 2: As a fantasy fan who loves, you know, Wheel of
Speaker 2: Time and all these big ones over here, my favorite
Speaker 2: thing is ooh, I'm book one of ten and each
Speaker 2: book is nine hundred pages long. I'm in heaven because
Speaker 2: I know I get to be in this world for.
Speaker 3: Really long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I absolutely love it. But no, this is
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to leave you to think on that,
Speaker 2: think about what yours are. But first, welcome back to
Speaker 2: Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab
Speaker 2: your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and go back
Speaker 2: to a time when all the houses were smart, the
Speaker 2: wave tsunamis and I wasn't ruining movies for Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Will you for a second,
Speaker 3: I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 2: So there's a reason we're talking about trilogies, because guys,
Speaker 2: we are back in it and in it good. We
Speaker 2: are completing quote quote unquote, completing another trilogy today, even
Speaker 2: though Disney is nowhere and you're done with this franchise,
Speaker 2: especially since they're just a month away from.
Speaker 1: Releasing it's fifth movie.
Speaker 2: But it's still time we check back in on those
Speaker 2: esky villain kids now. In the twenty nineteen Fantasy Cash
Speaker 2: Cow Descendants three, it's a good day. Yeah, this is clearly,
Speaker 2: clearly a big one, A true tenth poll for the
Speaker 2: Channel over the past decade, where you excited about returning
Speaker 2: to Ordon.
Speaker 3: So excited, so excited, so excited, broughten to the core forever.
Speaker 3: I just I was excited. This is this is the
Speaker 3: world I wish I lived in. Like it's for real Disney, Yes,
Speaker 3: for real Disney. Like we're talking about the princesses and
Speaker 3: the villains. It's just the best. I think this is
Speaker 3: one of the coolest, most creative franchises Disney's done on
Speaker 3: the Channel.
Speaker 1: It certainly is.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's mind boggling. So I was
Speaker 3: so stoked, so so stoked about this.
Speaker 1: No, I agree to remind everyone.
Speaker 2: Descendants one aired in twenty fifteen, part two in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: and this new one aired August second, twenty nineteen, so
Speaker 2: they kept a real every two years kind of vibe
Speaker 2: going for the first incarnation of the franchise all focused
Speaker 2: on Mal and her friends, but then when they kicked
Speaker 2: it back off with Rise of Red that was twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, and the newest installment, Wicked Wonderland, is going
Speaker 2: to debut on the Channel July sixteenth, twenty twenty six,
Speaker 2: which I'd frankly love to recap in real time if
Speaker 2: we can, but I'll be watching either way. That's actually
Speaker 2: a lie. I won't be If I don't have to
Speaker 2: recap it, I won't see it. If I have to
Speaker 2: recap it, then I'll watch it and I'll like it
Speaker 2: or i won't. But that's my rules and I'm sticking
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: Just gotta be honest on this podcast.
Speaker 1: Cake Nice, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Descendants three was actually shot in Ourdon, which is a
Speaker 2: real mythical city that Disney built. No, it was shot
Speaker 2: in Vancouver, which is a given for a budget like this,
Speaker 2: and shot over almost three months under the working title
Speaker 2: The Big Sleep, and it reportedly cost and frankly, compared
Speaker 2: to some of the Zombies numbers we're hearing, I think
Speaker 2: this is low fifteen million, which of course was three
Speaker 2: million more than Part two. But I'd assume they spent
Speaker 2: way more on this one. This made Descendants the fifth
Speaker 2: y com to get at least three films.
Speaker 1: Quick, can you name the others? What are the others
Speaker 1: that got three d coms?
Speaker 3: Cheety Girls?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: High School Musical? Okay, Well, I don't know if we
Speaker 3: get to count high School usical because the third one
Speaker 3: was a theatrical one, wasn't it.
Speaker 1: It's still it was. I think it was kind of
Speaker 1: a duel. Well, we'll give in, will give them that.
Speaker 3: I'm just I want to know the rules.
Speaker 1: No, I never want to break.
Speaker 3: The third would be now Camp Rock.
Speaker 1: There's four actually, well camp Rock will be the next
Speaker 1: one will.
Speaker 3: Be the okay, so okay, uh Zequel? Was there zen
Speaker 3: on three?
Speaker 1: Yep, there was. I'll give you one hint. It's an
Speaker 1: entire town.
Speaker 3: Oh that's got to be the first one, right, or
Speaker 3: won that race?
Speaker 1: That's a good question.
Speaker 2: We'll have to look it up. We need to start.
Speaker 2: We need to do a re listen of our own podcast.
Speaker 2: And one more, of course has been added since with
Speaker 2: which is Zombies.
Speaker 3: Which we know this, and now camp Rock.
Speaker 2: And now camp Rock which will be and hopefully they
Speaker 2: march into camp Rock for the third time.
Speaker 3: Some of the backs behind the stuff that, like Disney
Speaker 3: is just kind of putting out there every once in a while,
Speaker 3: it's coming on an algorithm and I'm seeing some really
Speaker 3: freaking good quiagar.
Speaker 2: This movie, by the way, is set two years after
Speaker 2: the last Descendants ended. It starts with Now being pregnant
Speaker 2: with her third child. No, I'm kidding, none of that
Speaker 2: happened either, And I.
Speaker 3: Always are you going to get through the script today?
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 2: I always like to ask this since we watch at
Speaker 2: least one dcom a week, which is I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 2: it's too many decoms. They're starting to blend. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. We've done one hundred some on of these,
Speaker 2: so don't be embarrassed. But did you remember anything about
Speaker 2: the end of Descendants too when you started this movie?
Speaker 3: Yes, only the What I remember was Uma being the
Speaker 3: octopus in the water and the drag like I remember
Speaker 3: us being like it.
Speaker 2: Was, and there was a big fight scene at the end.
Speaker 2: It was like their prom Yes.
Speaker 3: It was the prom was it was. It was a
Speaker 3: Kenny Ortega giant musical like Finale with tons of Dan
Speaker 3: scene and all that stuff. But the fight part I
Speaker 3: remember just being like ugh, but I don't I didn't
Speaker 3: remember there being any kind of like I remembered like
Speaker 3: she dove in and she was gone, like and like
Speaker 3: that was kind of it, and and it randed on.
Speaker 1: Kind of resolution, but that was it. Yeah. I felt
Speaker 1: the same way that you remembered, basically more than I did.
Speaker 3: Okay, this three quel.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a fun word to say, so
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep trying to say it all day. People.
Speaker 2: This threequel was also a bit of a logistical nightmare
Speaker 2: for Disney and their cybersecurity team because this was the
Speaker 2: first dcom that was ever leaked. Just a week after
Speaker 2: premiered on the channel, it arrived in full online. Supposedly
Speaker 2: somebody who gained early access through a DVD uploaded the whole.
Speaker 1: Movie something that will definitely get you jail time.
Speaker 2: So don't mess with the mouse guys, because you don't
Speaker 2: want to hear huhuh you're busted. Also, for Channel historians,
Speaker 2: this was the final program that aired on Disney Channel
Speaker 2: UK before it shut down in September of twenty twenty
Speaker 2: due to a failed agreement with Sky UK and Virgin Media,
Speaker 2: with all of its contents now exclusively onto Disney Plus,
Speaker 2: which is sad because I did a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: with Disney Channel. We did some really cool things. They
Speaker 2: had great hosts, they were a ton of fun. So
Speaker 2: rip Disney Channel UK now. Over the years, there's also
Speaker 2: been a lot of rumors that Disney was getting rid
Speaker 2: of the US version and the Disney Channel in our
Speaker 2: country as well, to focus just on the streaming service.
Speaker 2: But for now, at least, that has not proven to
Speaker 2: be true. Who knows what the future will hold with Disney.
Speaker 2: You never know, but so far we're doing.
Speaker 1: Okay, and it is a Descendants movie, so of course
Speaker 1: we have to talk about the soundtrack.
Speaker 2: The album was released around the channel debut and kicked
Speaker 2: off with the single good to Be Bad. The soundtrack
Speaker 2: reached number seven on the Billboard two hundred chart and
Speaker 2: received a Billboard Music Awards nomination for Best Soundtrack, which
Speaker 2: it lost to Frozen two. This time It's not that Cold.
Speaker 2: That would have been a great title, but that's not
Speaker 2: what it was. I never saw Frozen two. I had
Speaker 2: to let it go anyway, Sabrina, no spoiling your review here.
Speaker 1: But what did you think of the music in this movie?
Speaker 3: I was not moved the way I've been moved before
Speaker 3: in the music of this movie.
Speaker 1: Guys, I could not agree with you more. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: could not agree with you more.
Speaker 3: I felt like we were losing the creativity. A lot
Speaker 3: of this stuff kind of got like blan and. But
Speaker 3: I will tell you what I had a hard time
Speaker 3: with a little bit later, just in general of the movie.
Speaker 3: My brain was working.
Speaker 1: Okay, I was dreaded.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough, We'll get there, but it frankly,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what we think of the movie.
Speaker 1: It was a hit.
Speaker 2: The premiere brought in four point five to nine million viewers,
Speaker 2: with a jump to eight point four to three million
Speaker 2: within three days, and it star Dove Cameron would also
Speaker 2: win Favorite Movie Actress at the twenty twenty Kids Choice Awards.
Speaker 2: We'll get into it, but this film is considered a
Speaker 2: big deal for many reasons, but one very emotional reason.
Speaker 2: And it was so sad watching is the last time
Speaker 2: the core four, the main characters from the first three
Speaker 2: are seen together. Okay, so we know you were well
Speaker 2: aware of the third Descendants movies. It was a centerpiece
Speaker 2: for the channel, but we have to know you've.
Speaker 1: Seen it before. I hadn't no me neither.
Speaker 2: You, however, can watch to Sendence three right now in
Speaker 2: Disney Plus, just like your ancestors and vision when they
Speaker 2: fought for your freedom and travel across turbulences to battle
Speaker 2: in violent conflicts over your ability to have a streaming
Speaker 2: service where all movies and TV shows can be beamed
Speaker 2: to your house within seconds. So don't let them down. Freedom.
Speaker 1: Watch it now before our recap, or watch it later
Speaker 1: after you've heard our opinions. Fight for your right. Either way,
Speaker 1: Thank you, patriots. And now did I mention that to
Speaker 1: we do what we got to do to break this
Speaker 1: down and dig a little deeper, because it's time for
Speaker 1: the synopsis.
Speaker 2: When a jealous ex girlfriend of King Ben's threatens, Ordon
Speaker 2: Mal and the villain kids must team up with old
Speaker 2: rivals and a new generation to save the Kingdom Sabrina,
Speaker 2: our third time with this cast of characters.
Speaker 1: What are your early thoughts?
Speaker 3: I'm descendenced three, okay, I regardless of the actual movie.
Speaker 3: Right from the start, I was like, oh, yes, I
Speaker 3: love the creativity of this movie. I love every single
Speaker 3: one of the characters. I think the cast is great,
Speaker 3: but I love how creative each of the casts are
Speaker 3: either you know, descendants from either a villain or a hero,
Speaker 3: and I think they do it really well. I was
Speaker 3: assuming we were going to kind of I think I'm
Speaker 3: having a hard time at this point distinguishing between this
Speaker 3: and Zombies. Like I was like, Oh, we're going to
Speaker 3: look at a new world, like we're gonna find you know.
Speaker 3: And I do think, just so you know, tiny bit
Speaker 3: of a spoiler or will is that we do get
Speaker 3: that in four and five. I think we kind of
Speaker 3: risk Yeah, yeah, so I do think we end up
Speaker 3: getting that. But I was assuming that this third one,
Speaker 3: for some reason, same thing as what we did with Zombies.
Speaker 3: We were like, oh, my gosh, we're in the school
Speaker 3: again or you know what I mean, like that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. Yeah, or you know, high school musical. Being
Speaker 3: in the same place kind of goes oh okay. This
Speaker 3: one was really hard for me now though, because we
Speaker 3: have learned and so many come back. The amount of
Speaker 3: characters I started getting lost. I couldn't remember who they were,
Speaker 3: who they were related to. Every time my brain I
Speaker 3: felt I was tired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot during this movie.
Speaker 3: There was just a lot of stuff that you have
Speaker 3: to remember that this movie wasn't one that sets on
Speaker 3: its own. You do kind of need to know the
Speaker 3: first and the second to be able to follow it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that again, talking about trilogies, I
Speaker 3: don't know if that necessarily means good or bad. Like
Speaker 3: it's kind of trilogies are just hard. The third one,
Speaker 3: it's there's so much on the line. There really is.
Speaker 3: So I'm in the middle with this one. I'nforre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this this movie was okay to me. I thought
Speaker 2: the music was just okay. I thought the story was
Speaker 2: just okay. The cast is obviously wonderful. The Kenny Ortega
Speaker 2: niss of it all was wonderful. The world is wonderful.
Speaker 1: Yes, the story and what actually happened in the music.
Speaker 3: And that's what's hard. Although it's wonderful, you've already seen it,
Speaker 3: so it's the hard part about a trilogy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was okay. I feel like I feel like
Speaker 2: they picked a weird villain. Uh, the story for the
Speaker 2: villain was weird. You could have done so much more.
Speaker 2: You've got a Disney catalog of one hundred years or
Speaker 2: whatever it is with some of the greatest villains ever this.
Speaker 1: Is the one you want to pick, So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just kind of like eh, but anyway.
Speaker 2: The third movie was once again directed by the undeniable
Speaker 2: legend Kenny Ortega, the man who launched this juggernaut into orbit.
Speaker 2: His deep Disney roots include Newsy's Hocus Pocus, The High
Speaker 2: School Musical Trilogy, and Cheetah Girls Too or Cheated Girls Duh, which.
Speaker 1: Is what they called it in France.
Speaker 2: But he started his career in choreography with musicians like
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson, Madonna and Olivia Newton.
Speaker 1: John or Olivia Newton John as the car in France.
Speaker 2: He'd eventually transition into creating iconic dances for movies like
Speaker 2: Pretty in Pink, Dirty Dancing and Bud I Won't Do
Speaker 2: It Anymore, Fairs for the.
Speaker 1: Day Off, and Xanadu.
Speaker 2: He also wrote, directed, and produced Michael Jackson's posthumous documentary film,
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson's This Is It, and was deemed a Disney
Speaker 2: legend officially by the company in twenty nineteen. I mean,
Speaker 2: is there anyone better when it comes to directing a
Speaker 2: musical starring kids than the great Kenny Ortega.
Speaker 1: He's the best to ever have done it.
Speaker 2: We of course, had the honor of interviewing mister Artegix
Speaker 2: to go and check it out by searching Magical rewinding,
Speaker 2: hunting it down in her feed, or just do an
Speaker 2: awesome choreographed dance with your friends three times under moonlight
Speaker 2: and he magically appears. Like I mentioned, this movie stars
Speaker 2: Dove Cameron as Maal, the daughter of Malificent and Hades.
Speaker 2: She broke out in the Disney system as both Live
Speaker 2: and Maddie on the show of the same name.
Speaker 1: She won a Daytime Emmy for that show.
Speaker 2: We also just recently saw her in another Dicomery recapped
Speaker 2: the snowboarding gem Cloud nine. She starred in the NBC
Speaker 2: live broadcast of Hairspray and was in Apple TV's musical
Speaker 2: series shmig Adoon.
Speaker 1: Like many Disney.
Speaker 2: Stars before her and after her, she's also a pop
Speaker 2: singer who won Best New Artists at the MTV Video
Speaker 2: Music Awards in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was still a thing.
Speaker 2: And you can see her in the brain new Amazon
Speaker 2: Prime series fifty six Days. And this is where it
Speaker 2: gets really sad, because tragically this would mark the final
Speaker 2: film of Cameron Boyce. He played Carlos Deville, son of
Speaker 2: Couela Deville, and was a Disney mainstay from these movies
Speaker 2: and the sitcom Jesse. He also later appeared in the
Speaker 2: Adam Sandlor movie Grown Ups, but at just the age
Speaker 2: of twenty. In twenty nineteen, weeks before the premier of
Speaker 2: Descendants three, he unexpectedly passed away to sleep from an
Speaker 2: epileptic attack, part of a disorder he'd been dealing with
Speaker 2: since birth.
Speaker 1: He would have been a huge star. I believe that.
Speaker 2: I think everyone believes that anyone who ever saw him
Speaker 2: do anything believes that Descendants three was dedicated to him.
Speaker 1: And not only did that appear.
Speaker 2: During broadcasts, specials were shown on the channel as a
Speaker 2: tribute to Cameron well deserved rest and peace.
Speaker 1: Cameron Boys. Sophia Carson is ev daughter of the Evil Queen.
Speaker 2: We also just recently checked out Sofia in the decom
Speaker 2: reboot of Adventures in Babysitting alongside some singer Sabrina Something,
Speaker 2: and she's been seen in Netflix's Purple Hearts, My Oxford
Speaker 2: Year and carry On and then Booboo. Stewart not only
Speaker 2: has the best name in dcom history, he plays Jay,
Speaker 2: the son of Jafar Booboo is an actor, singer, and
Speaker 2: former Junior Martial Arts World champion, first seen as Seth
Speaker 2: Clearwater in The Twilight Saga. He would also later star
Speaker 2: in Otaga's inaugural Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms, which
Speaker 2: unfortunately was canceled after just one season. China Ann McLain
Speaker 2: returns as Uma, daughter of Ursula. Mlcaine was first seen
Speaker 2: as Jasmine Payne in Tyler Perry's House of Pain role
Speaker 2: she began in two thousand and seven and reprised in
Speaker 2: all the subsequent revivals, but her Disney breakthrough was as
Speaker 2: a musical prodigy China parks on The Show and Farm
Speaker 2: from twenty eleven twenty fourteen. She'd also appear in the
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler Grown Ups movies, and she's also in a
Speaker 2: band with her sisters called three I Think but It's THHRII.
Speaker 2: And Thomas Doherty is Harry Hook, son of Captain Hook.
Speaker 2: He's best known as Max Wolf on the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one reboot of Gossip Girl and was seen in Tell
Speaker 2: Me Lies and Paradise. It's also worth noting here that
Speaker 2: Dianne Done who plays Lannie, is the only original cast
Speaker 2: member of the first film among the descendants of Disney
Speaker 2: characters who did not reprise her role for this film,
Speaker 2: but archival footage just showed at her, They cut back
Speaker 2: to her, they did her dirty. Now, I don't care
Speaker 2: how important the movie is to the channel or the
Speaker 2: future of the dcom or the world in general. We
Speaker 2: need to know how long it is because at Magical
Speaker 2: Rewind we believe all movies should be ninety minutes long,
Speaker 2: no more, no less.
Speaker 1: So was Third Time the Charm?
Speaker 2: When it comes to Descendants, it was one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty minutes long?
Speaker 1: What the action? You can't be serious, Kenny Ortego, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? I love you, Kenny Canaan the kaya Nader,
Speaker 1: But two hours?
Speaker 4: Can we just cancel the podcast?
Speaker 3: I miss you? Remember Michael Jackson's like music videos. Those
Speaker 3: things were like fifteen minutes long when it should be
Speaker 3: like three. Right, But it's like time to dance, will
Speaker 3: It's time to dance, okay, and it needs to be
Speaker 3: for a very long time.
Speaker 2: What was even worse is I was the fifty year
Speaker 2: old man on an airplane watching Descendants.
Speaker 4: Three, So take you the whole Luckily it was a
Speaker 4: six hour flight of five hour flight, but two hours
Speaker 4: like people coming up like excuse me, thirty of a problem, Like,
Speaker 4: can you excuse me?
Speaker 1: I'm watching Descendants three? So yeah, I was that guy
Speaker 1: kind of like apologized, like, sorry, it's for worse. Sorry,
Speaker 1: it's for worse.
Speaker 3: It's for work.
Speaker 1: It's just for the working. Don't judge me. It's for work.
Speaker 1: It's when I started standing up on the seats and
Speaker 1: singing along. That's when people really had a problem. Well too,
Speaker 1: there too, that's what well moving on.
Speaker 2: The movie was written by one of Hollywood's longest running
Speaker 2: writing teams, Sarah Perriot and Joseanne McGibbon, who worked together
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty six to twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: I wonder what finally broke them up.
Speaker 2: Anyway, They wrote Three Men in the Little Lady and
Speaker 2: Runaway Bride, and, most notably on TV, co wrote and
Speaker 2: produced the Starter Wife mini series, which received ten Emmy
Speaker 2: nominations and one one and led to the long running
Speaker 2: USA series of.
Speaker 1: The same name.
Speaker 2: Okay, people, hand me the ember. It's time to get serious.
Speaker 2: Let's recap Descendants three. The movie starts with narration from
Speaker 2: mal and a beautiful shot of Oredon. She introduces herself
Speaker 2: as the daughter of Malficent, born on the Aisle of
Speaker 2: the Lost, where all villains have been banished, that is
Speaker 2: until Prince Ben decided that their children should have a
Speaker 2: chance to come to the promised land of Orodon. He
Speaker 2: was also hoping to meet a hotty with purple hair,
Speaker 2: So the Four Villain Kids or vks, made the move.
Speaker 2: Here was my first question. Did they vkate in the
Speaker 2: last movie or did they just all of a sudden
Speaker 2: make some new acronym.
Speaker 1: That I'm supposed to know what the hell that meants.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm telling you. There was like a lot
Speaker 3: of that. I was like, I don't remember that, and yes,
Speaker 3: I have a terrible memory. But it was making me
Speaker 3: constantly like try to like rewind and go I screwed up.
Speaker 3: I don't have time to do it now. I should
Speaker 3: have watched the second one before I watched this third,
Speaker 3: because you shouldn't referring. They keep referring to stuff that
Speaker 3: I'm like, like, we should know, Like VK was like
Speaker 3: VK Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just adding that in is like giving yourself a nickname.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, everyone calls me tall, Like.
Speaker 1: No, you can't.
Speaker 2: You can't give you people other people give you nicknames,
Speaker 2: you can't do it for yourself. But long story short,
Speaker 2: Ben is the king, now she is his girlfriend, and
Speaker 2: they're about to head back to the aisle to pick
Speaker 2: up what will hopefully be a long line of new
Speaker 2: vks who can move to Ordon to find there happily
Speaker 2: ever afters too. Now, this was a great previously on
Speaker 2: Like right when it started, I was like, I'm in it,
Speaker 2: summed it up. It was great, and it needed to
Speaker 2: be because it was two hours long. Yeah, so but
Speaker 2: it got me excited to get into the world again.
Speaker 1: I was like, great, recap it was.
Speaker 3: It was perfect. It was perfect everything about it, and.
Speaker 1: We get what it means.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, they just threw it in there and
Speaker 2: expected us to like do a new thing.
Speaker 3: But it's like no, but it's just like it's random,
Speaker 3: is what they're saying. Like it's it's like VK.
Speaker 2: Like they also just made it up out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: like in the third movie, like what you didn't know
Speaker 2: we called her Betty the whole time, Like no, you didn't,
Speaker 2: that's not a thing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, we're now on the island.
Speaker 2: Though it has a real Peter Pan Lost Boys vibe
Speaker 2: as a biker performs tricks on hiss BMX bike and
Speaker 2: throws a newspaper to a bunch of kids wearing what
Speaker 2: looked like dirty laundry. One girl grabs it and reads
Speaker 2: the headline It's VK Day. In all their excitement, the
Speaker 2: four original kids, Mal Carlos, Evie and Jay storm in
Speaker 2: for our first number, good to Be Bad.
Speaker 1: This is a bit of a new.
Speaker 2: Jack swing song which brings all the kids on the
Speaker 2: island that have a chance to better their lives and
Speaker 2: going to art on together, and it also proved to
Speaker 2: be an easy way to show off how many actors
Speaker 2: in this movie can do a flip. So forget about that.
Speaker 2: We'll get into the dance because that's your area of expertise.
Speaker 1: But and I'll start.
Speaker 2: I actually this gave me high hopes because the first
Speaker 2: number I was like, Okay, this is a good song.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like the first one, I was like, kind of a banger,
Speaker 2: loved the biking in, loved the colors, the Kenny or
Speaker 2: take I'm starting notice the levels that you always point out,
Speaker 2: like he's using every space.
Speaker 1: I was like, ooh, maybe they threw it all at
Speaker 1: the wall. For the third one, like this could be
Speaker 1: just balls out the whole way. What did you think same?
Speaker 3: I was right on that, like, oh, and I love
Speaker 3: this style because you know, we talk about obviously you
Speaker 3: have to compare and contrast this with zombies because it's
Speaker 3: they're kind of all happening right at the same time. Right,
Speaker 3: Kenny's choreography is very much more of an older style,
Speaker 3: like old school style with a new flare. Is how
Speaker 3: I love seeing Kenny's stuff that he does and the
Speaker 3: people he brings in awesome. They're just so all so talented,
Speaker 3: and I love this style. And I just kept thinking like, oh,
Speaker 3: like as much as I love the zombies, I love
Speaker 3: that choreographer. He's incredible. This is this feels like it
Speaker 3: felt like a Newsy's. Right, it looks it felt like
Speaker 3: it was, yes, a Broadway, And if Newsy's was made
Speaker 3: now again you know what I mean? This is what
Speaker 3: it would look like, the choreography and everything. And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, hell yeah, I'm so excited. I will say,
Speaker 3: I remember this world, what is the name of this isle? Again?
Speaker 3: I forget the Lost Isle of the Lost being darker
Speaker 3: and brown like more earth tones. I will say it
Speaker 3: kind of rubbed me a little like, oh, I kind
Speaker 3: of liked it that way, like that grungier look versus grungy,
Speaker 3: but like all pink and purple and like me on green,
Speaker 3: Like I didn't really love that. It was like bright,
Speaker 3: you know what I would me.
Speaker 2: And this is a weird analogy, but do you remember
Speaker 2: the original Michael Keaton Batman films so Gotham dark, gritty, disgusting,
Speaker 2: and then by the third one when the new director
Speaker 2: whom now I'm blanking on, takes over and now everything's
Speaker 2: bright and neon and now you're in Gotham again, it's like, wait,
Speaker 2: that's not Gotham?
Speaker 3: Like what That's how I felt about this, Like that
Speaker 3: was the only thing that I kind of like. It
Speaker 3: hit me right from the start, and every time we
Speaker 3: went back to this aisle, like I literally was just
Speaker 3: like I loved it when it was like yeah, like
Speaker 3: it felt more like just you.
Speaker 1: Know, I was thinking.
Speaker 2: The only thing I was thinking is that maybe because
Speaker 2: very nice by the way, I love that error, but
Speaker 2: I but I feel like because of maybe how much
Speaker 2: they're kind of opening it up and going back and
Speaker 2: forth now to or Doon, it's kind of brightened up
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, But it's also like you can
Speaker 2: you can take four. This is the other thing I
Speaker 2: was thinking as later in the movie is like eating.
Speaker 2: They're like, we don't get fresh fruit.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, so you'll take four kids to live
Speaker 1: in paradise, but you won't send them bananas, Like you
Speaker 1: can't send them food to keep them alive. But hey,
Speaker 1: four of you can come live in a castle.
Speaker 2: The rest of you good luck with rickets because we're
Speaker 2: not even gonna send vitamin D. Like it's like, really,
Speaker 2: it just it seemed a little I don't know, it
Speaker 2: seemed like they should have started doing a little more
Speaker 2: to help the people on the law.
Speaker 3: It would have seemed that that's how this been in charge.
Speaker 1: Ben's and yeah, King, we all know, so okay this
Speaker 1: is I would say, while I agree with you about
Speaker 1: the brightness, it's a very cool set it is, and
Speaker 1: uh it's a bit yeah it's with the water and
Speaker 1: the Rundown castle and everything. It looked very good.
Speaker 2: But now the song ends and the kids are ready
Speaker 2: to apply to the school. Evi and Mall are standing
Speaker 2: on top of the balcony overlooking everyone there who are
Speaker 2: screaming pick me, pick me, and there's one old man
Speaker 2: that looks like a Santa Elf, and he's with his
Speaker 2: two children, who look both like Garth from Wayne's World.
Speaker 2: Evie can't believe this day has finally arrived and wishes
Speaker 2: she could take everyone with her and maybe someday they can.
Speaker 2: But with a drum roll, Evie announces the first selection.
Speaker 2: It is the granddaughter of Lady Tremaine and the daughter
Speaker 2: of Drisella Dizzy. I have to ask, who's Lady Tremaine?
Speaker 3: This is all right, I'm telling you already. I'm going
Speaker 3: you know, and your people I know, and I pride
Speaker 3: myself on knowing the Disney knowledge. Now I'm not like
Speaker 3: our producers ever. I will never be. I just don't
Speaker 3: have the brain capacity to be as amazing as them.
Speaker 3: But I do know main characters, and I was like.
Speaker 2: Lady she's a wicked stepmother from Cindere Cinderella, that's what.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, so I okay so and daughter of daughter
Speaker 3: of one of the.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, gotcha. So that's Dizzy. Uh great, we all.
Speaker 1: That's how I am too.
Speaker 2: It's like, if it's not Mickey Mouse's kid, I'm probably
Speaker 2: not going to know who it is. Oh, it's Donald
Speaker 2: Duck's cousin, Like, Okay, I'll get it. We all remember
Speaker 2: her from the prior movies. She helped with the wardrobe
Speaker 2: and the plans they've made to make this a reality,
Speaker 2: so obvious.
Speaker 3: Okay, you remembered her, you remember.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, remember Dizzy. She was great And the last one.
Speaker 2: Then Carlos announces the next name. It's the son of
Speaker 2: sme Squeaky. This is one of the Garth kids with
Speaker 2: their elf dad. He walks up and gives Carlos a
Speaker 2: hug just before Jay announces the next pick, his Garth brother, Squirmy.
Speaker 1: And that's when I was like, smeeze kids like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I you're to go. I know who me is.
Speaker 1: Of course I know who SMI is, but again I
Speaker 1: think there's bigger probably.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could have done a little, but we haven't
Speaker 3: hit all of the.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going second to your Disney villain
Speaker 1: when you've got me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, and now Mal announces the last, but certainly
Speaker 1: not the least transferred, doctor Facilier's daughter Celia.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is when I legitimately was like, Okay, now
Speaker 3: I'm starting getting.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. And the Frog.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you've been on Tiana's Bayou now, haven't you. Yes,
Speaker 5: he's the voodoo guy, the like creepy New Orleans voodoo guy.
Speaker 3: In the Okay, okay, okay, all right, but again, yeah,
Speaker 3: that is a very big movie. So that is a
Speaker 3: huge it is.
Speaker 1: I guess I get it.
Speaker 3: It's just not one of my favorites and one of
Speaker 3: my favorite kids. It's a different generation. Hasn't been like
Speaker 3: Monroe's favorite. I'm sure we'll get there yet to where
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it the seventeen trillion times about like Mowana.
Speaker 3: Now they start throwing in Mowanas. I'm like, there, you
Speaker 3: know what.
Speaker 1: I would have done. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I would have done some crazy magic transformation stuff and
Speaker 2: I would have done some kind of almost cat like stuff.
Speaker 2: And why couldn't it have been like the Daughter of
Speaker 2: Scar or something, you know, somebody like from Lion King
Speaker 2: or something like that. I mean, I could have done
Speaker 2: some really cool stuff. But anyway, that's when I was like,
Speaker 2: who are these people? And I didn't want to google.
Speaker 2: I wanted to be wanted to wallow in my ignorance.
Speaker 1: So yes, Celia is the last one.
Speaker 3: Daily exactly.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: The very sassy Celia does a twirl and everyone cheers.
Speaker 1: The new four have been set.
Speaker 2: Carlos says, the return next week to leave the aisle,
Speaker 2: so pack their things and get ready. We then get
Speaker 2: our title, then find ourselves at King Ben's castle, which
Speaker 2: the only thing goes through my head is the heating
Speaker 2: bills must be ridiculous. Mal is overlooking the water with
Speaker 2: binoculars when Ben rushes up and hugs it from behind.
Speaker 2: They share a laugh and she points out not a
Speaker 2: tentacal insight, she knows how villain think.
Speaker 1: And just doesn't trust Duma.
Speaker 2: Ben points out that he's also placed guards on top
Speaker 2: of the castle to defend them, and he's bringing more
Speaker 2: in soon. Now, in the steps of Ordon Prep, malin
Speaker 2: Ben arrive to celebrate pep rally style. They wave and
Speaker 2: greet everyone, then step onto a small stage where Ben
Speaker 2: thanks everyone for coming out to welcome the new arrivals.
Speaker 2: Then the king reminds mal this is where they met
Speaker 2: not so long ago, but he's in love with her
Speaker 2: and feels like he's known her his whole life. He
Speaker 2: starts singing a short song called did I mention I'm Sorry?
Speaker 2: It was very forgettable, all about how in love he is,
Speaker 2: and when it ends, he gets down on one knee
Speaker 2: and asks her to marry him.
Speaker 1: He wants her to be queen.
Speaker 2: She says, yes, Dove, of course, I'll be a queen
Speaker 2: and puts a ring on it. They kiss and the
Speaker 2: crowd goes nuts, except for Audrey his acts.
Speaker 1: She is pissed.
Speaker 2: We also see that Evie and Dopey's son, Doug's relationship
Speaker 2: is progressing and he didn't have long hair in the
Speaker 2: last one, did.
Speaker 3: He No, Ken, this is a huge transformation for him.
Speaker 2: I thought so too, and the only thing going through
Speaker 2: my head was, oh, he was in the middle of
Speaker 2: shooting something else and couldn't cut his hair. Meanwhile, Queen
Speaker 2: Leah tells a very very upset Audrey that she let
Speaker 2: the king slip through her fingers.
Speaker 1: It was all her fault. She should be ashamed. I
Speaker 1: was like damn.
Speaker 2: Nearby and excited, Evie tells Mal she's already done a
Speaker 2: thousand sketches for her wedding dress and Bell has already
Speaker 2: planned the engagement party. Mal then hugs her future father
Speaker 2: and mother in law, both excited to finally get a daughter,
Speaker 2: and It's nice to see that they've accepted her evil
Speaker 2: and all. Audrey abruptly grabs mal to admit she won
Speaker 2: Ben fair and square, but quickly changes her tone.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, you didn't.
Speaker 2: You spelled Ben to destroy all of Arodon, which will
Speaker 2: be a touching story for your grandkids.
Speaker 1: Malice taken aback and excuses herself. The Vks.
Speaker 2: And the which we all know stands for Viking Kings,
Speaker 2: and the King himself drive Slash Fly off to the
Speaker 2: island of the Loss to pick up these new villain kids.
Speaker 2: The little Garths and Dizzy pile into the limo. Then
Speaker 2: Celia joins them, and she seems a little bit snotty.
Speaker 2: Then they take off for the Promised Land. The limo
Speaker 2: passes through the portal, arriving at Ordon, but Hades sprints
Speaker 2: into TimewARP and sticks his hands inside, stopping it from closing.
Speaker 2: Evy notices and tells the car to stop. Haiti screams
Speaker 2: that he's a god and doesn't belong there. When the
Speaker 2: guys try to stop him, Haiti shoots out blue fireballs,
Speaker 2: throwing the group to the floor, then, in a true
Speaker 2: attempt at defense, now transforms into a dragon. Okay, dragon
Speaker 2: transformation in the third one compared to the first one,
Speaker 2: what did you think?
Speaker 3: A huge jump? I mean production was on all fires
Speaker 3: at like, all engines running. Yes, it was just so
Speaker 3: much better. Game of Thrones is like one of my
Speaker 3: favorite things, so it's hard for me to watch other
Speaker 3: Dragon stuff because it all compares to them. This was
Speaker 3: a great Disney Channel Dragon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really.
Speaker 3: Don't you remember the first one, We were like, good, yikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was done on somebody's Commodore sixty four. But
Speaker 2: this one, it's like.
Speaker 3: It was legit, legit. It got better even from the
Speaker 3: second one. After we just saw it at the end
Speaker 3: of the second one. It got even better from that.
Speaker 3: So I was very happy about it.
Speaker 2: And if the budget truly was fifteen million dollars, it
Speaker 2: just shows how much more you can do with less
Speaker 2: money with the technology that they have nowadays, because it
Speaker 2: definitely looked better. Yes, But before the dragon can attack,
Speaker 2: Haitie uses the Ember's powers, draining Mau's magic with a
Speaker 2: blue stream. Everyone back an Ordon is watching, and bitter
Speaker 2: Audrey points out that their precious queen can't even protect
Speaker 2: them after all, even though the fairy Godmother at first
Speaker 2: warns everyone not to panic. They all eventually do, running
Speaker 2: in all directions. We're now back in the battle. Hades
Speaker 2: is still draining her magic, but she's somehow able to
Speaker 2: blast him one more time, forcing him back through the
Speaker 2: portal and onto the aisle. As it closes, a shaken
Speaker 2: Mau returns to her normal self in amidst she felt
Speaker 2: her power slipping away. Evie tells her she's safe and
Speaker 2: Hadi's is back where he belongs for now. Audrey is
Speaker 2: crying in her bedroom while we see old photos of
Speaker 2: her and Prince Ben from their childhood relationship. She hears
Speaker 2: the negative words of her grandma and she draws herself
Speaker 2: wearing a crown. She's so tired of pretending. She wants
Speaker 2: to know where her happy ending is and starts emo rap,
Speaker 2: singing a new song, Queen Aman, all about how her
Speaker 2: dreams were crushed and she knows who to blame. As
Speaker 2: the song progresses and she transfer arms into evil, her
Speaker 2: jealousy sends her to the museum, where she steals the
Speaker 2: crown and Maleficent's now glowing staff.
Speaker 1: Is apparently her turn. What did you think of this song?
Speaker 3: I I feel like storyline wise, it was needed, like
Speaker 3: but at the same time, this is when I, by
Speaker 3: the way, had already checked on how long this movie was.
Speaker 3: I was like, we could have probably lost the long
Speaker 3: song and just made this a very quick right, get
Speaker 3: to it, get it done, go, and it didn't have
Speaker 3: to necessarily be song for him. I don't know. I
Speaker 3: guess it just didn't think this was needed.
Speaker 1: You know what this felt like to me?
Speaker 2: This felt like somebody had just watched Hamilton and wanted
Speaker 2: to do a Hamilton type song in this movie.
Speaker 3: Fair this was what twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they just like they're like favorite.
Speaker 3: To incorporate or just feeling like to be of you know,
Speaker 3: recent and in the like, yeah, realm of what's going
Speaker 3: on musically in the world, I guess. But it just
Speaker 3: still was just kind of one of those moments that
Speaker 3: even if they did it, they didn't take it out completely.
Speaker 3: It didn't seem like it needed to be as long
Speaker 3: as it was right, it could have been a quick
Speaker 3: verse like that's what. But see, here's the thing knowing
Speaker 3: how these contracts work and getting kids to come back
Speaker 3: to do these second like that, you're like for the
Speaker 3: third Cheetah Girls, part of the contract was that we
Speaker 3: each wanted to write and produce and do our own songs. Sure,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking how big this cast is? Like was that
Speaker 3: part of it? Like were these kids demanding that they got?
Speaker 3: Not in a bad way, not in a bad way,
Speaker 3: but like thinking, like yes, like the first and second one,
Speaker 3: I have been great. You know that's where the music is,
Speaker 3: where the money is. I want a part of it.
Speaker 3: I want to be I want to be showcased. I
Speaker 3: want a career. I want a music career.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, so is that what it is? You know?
Speaker 3: Like that's what my brain started going because this song
Speaker 3: again did not need seem necessary like in in it
Speaker 3: the story part of it did, but not a full
Speaker 3: blown musical song.
Speaker 1: I also didn't like the song.
Speaker 2: But I will say this, if this magical staff has
Speaker 2: all this power and the crown is there, and this
Speaker 2: has happened to you before like it did in the
Speaker 2: first one where mal Hell is security, why even.
Speaker 1: Put it on display?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: How is this not in a magical Vaultimore?
Speaker 2: You can you can have an entire island protected from
Speaker 2: your evil people, but you're keeping the most powerful, enchanted
Speaker 2: evil things like with one guy who's got a camera
Speaker 2: on it?
Speaker 1: Are you kids. It's like you deserve to have your
Speaker 1: entire island destroyed.
Speaker 3: It's it's ridiculous. Was literally like, where the f is
Speaker 3: secure security?
Speaker 1: Why is this a thing? Why can anyone just walk
Speaker 1: in and take the nuclear device? Like what? Yes?
Speaker 3: Like that changes everything? That has all the I mean
Speaker 3: we already saw it with the yes.
Speaker 2: Things should not be just readily accessible to kids who
Speaker 2: are going through through puberty.
Speaker 1: Like my boyfriend broke up with me, I'm destroying the world. Like,
Speaker 1: let's it's insane. Yeah, it's sane.
Speaker 2: Come on people again, foo evil queen me once, Shame
Speaker 2: on you, evil queen me twice, shame on me.
Speaker 3: But this is like the third time I know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, My God, do something like that.
Speaker 1: How many times can we do this before You're just
Speaker 1: still stupid.
Speaker 3: It's not just that it's the same situation. It's in
Speaker 3: the same place.
Speaker 1: I know. They just put it back on the same
Speaker 1: damn stand. It's my god, thank god the plinth wasn't ruined.
Speaker 1: We can put it right back like what the hell?
Speaker 1: Oh God?
Speaker 2: Anyway, we're now back at King Ben's awfully protected castle.
Speaker 2: Everyone's in a panic about hate. No one's safe by
Speaker 2: the way. All you have to do is think this
Speaker 2: guy's name. He turns into stone. Everyone's in a panic
Speaker 2: about Hades. They can't risk having another really and on
Speaker 2: the loose. Evie blames herself. She was supposed to protect Ordon.
Speaker 2: Ben's dad the Beast says that every time they open
Speaker 2: the portal, they're exposed to danger. Malficent Uma Hades list
Speaker 2: goes on and on, and then Ben's phone rings and
Speaker 2: they find out someone has stolen malificent scepter and the
Speaker 2: Queen's crown.
Speaker 3: What again.
Speaker 2: Ben's dad blames Zuma, but Ben isn't convinced. Mal says
Speaker 2: there's only one way to guarantee their safety. There can't
Speaker 2: be any more going in and out of the aisle.
Speaker 2: They need to close the barrier forever. Ben is immediately
Speaker 2: against the idea, but Mal assures him she doesn't want
Speaker 2: to take his dream away, this dream of unity away.
Speaker 2: It was beautiful and why she fell in love with him.
Speaker 2: But as King and Queen, their duty is to protect Ordon.
Speaker 2: They have no other choice. Even Ben's dad thinks Mal's right. Oh,
Speaker 2: tough call, Mal, I get it.
Speaker 1: But tough call. She's like, I've got my castle. We
Speaker 1: can lock the door behind.
Speaker 3: Bitch has been queen for five minutes. No one's allowed anymore.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bite.
Speaker 1: I've got my three friends. Yes.
Speaker 3: She's basically like, you're cool.
Speaker 1: You're cool. You're not you're you you, you're cool.
Speaker 3: You're cool, and everyone you know. Close the doors, lock
Speaker 3: them up. Please, can we get some more security?
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, I want secure. Don't worry. I'll make it
Speaker 1: sound better. I'll sing you why I'm trapping you on
Speaker 1: this silod for the rest of your life. Man oh man.
Speaker 3: Evie got better.
Speaker 1: Right, as is the best we've ever seen. At Eve's,
Speaker 1: Mal tells her about how they're thinking of closing the barrier,
Speaker 1: and Eva is obviously against it. How will they see
Speaker 1: their parents.
Speaker 2: They've been living the dream to share it with the
Speaker 2: new generations and made promises to these new kids. Evy
Speaker 2: assumes that Mao will stand up for the Vks and
Speaker 2: that shall be a great queen, but this is obviously
Speaker 2: weighing heavily on her mind because it.
Speaker 1: Was Mal's idea.
Speaker 2: Later, Mal walks out the front door and is startled
Speaker 2: by a bolt of lightning from a cloud of pink smoke.
Speaker 2: Audrey appears now with the scepter and crown. When Mal
Speaker 2: asks if this is some sort of a joke, Audrey
Speaker 2: explained she wanted them, so she took them. Of all people,
Speaker 2: Mal should understand, don't you remember this in the first
Speaker 2: one and there's no security?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Seriously was it locked even? Nope? All open. Just
Speaker 1: had to grab it.
Speaker 3: I didn't have to literally didn't enough to get through.
Speaker 2: A protective spell to grab the thing. She's like, it's
Speaker 2: mine now, It's like my god. Audrey says her life
Speaker 2: was perfect until Mao stole it, and now Oradon has
Speaker 2: turned his back on her, so it's time for a
Speaker 2: little payback. She cackles and turns mout into the old Hag,
Speaker 2: and they made her look pretty darn good, just like
Speaker 2: like the hag from Snow White, and asked if Ben
Speaker 2: will love her now, she promises all of Radone will pay.
Speaker 2: As Carlos, Evy, Celia and Jay run outside, Mal announces
Speaker 2: so long suckers, and disappears.
Speaker 1: Now now, the old Hag.
Speaker 2: With a very fragile voice, tells her friends there's no
Speaker 2: spell that can reverse the curse of the Scepter.
Speaker 1: So what did you think of the makeup of the voice?
Speaker 3: I thought it was. The makeup looked amazing rrect. It
Speaker 3: was interesting to me. I'm gonna have to jump to
Speaker 3: one of the Sabrina seas the old tags. So now
Speaker 3: we got to go back. So Evie is the evil
Speaker 3: queen from snow White's daughter, so they turned her into
Speaker 3: her like she turned her into looking like her mom
Speaker 3: when she was a wha yeah, and no one referenced.
Speaker 1: It, no, which would have been interesting to do, like.
Speaker 3: Mom mom, that would have been like something. They didn't
Speaker 3: reference it at all, and it was, I mean, and
Speaker 3: Evie's like obviously right there. I thought it was good.
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, that would be hard. I instantly
Speaker 3: go gosh, man, to have to think of like how
Speaker 3: I would act as like an old hag like, and
Speaker 3: I thought she did pretty good.
Speaker 1: Once you get into the makeup, like the character comes in.
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you have the voice and like
Speaker 2: you would have done it, you'd have pulled it off.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Thanks.
Speaker 3: How I wake up every morning morning man exactly. Jordan's like,
Speaker 3: oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, throwing holy water at you politically.
Speaker 3: This morning, I put on one of those masks that
Speaker 3: you sleep in over anytime I do that. He rolls
Speaker 3: over and he's like, I can.
Speaker 2: Hear his Oh, I do the same thing with Sue.
Speaker 2: Sue will also just jump in and go hi, wearing
Speaker 2: a red light mask, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, dah, that's true.
Speaker 2: It's awesome, Like what is there something whereas men use
Speaker 2: exactly the same soap on their junk that they do
Speaker 2: on their face, and that's that's our facial regiment normally,
Speaker 2: that's true. The Old Hag tells him to forget about
Speaker 2: her or done is in danger. The only thing more
Speaker 2: powerful than the scepter is hades ember. Celia says she
Speaker 2: knows where he lives. She runs errands for him and
Speaker 2: has a key to his place at her dad's. Dizzy,
Speaker 2: Squeak and Squirmy walk outside and scream at the side
Speaker 2: of the Old Hag. So they're gonna stay home for now,
Speaker 2: and with that the rest of the gang get ready
Speaker 2: for a new adventure. We quickly cut to mal Evy, Carlos,
Speaker 2: j and Celia all driving on dirt bikes at the
Speaker 2: edge of Oredon. Old Hag malites a spell that allows
Speaker 2: him to ride the bikes over the water straight to
Speaker 2: the aisle, which in essence makes the.
Speaker 1: Portal completely unnecessary, right right? Okay? So why even okay?
Speaker 2: I feel like this made the entire plot a problem
Speaker 2: and means they always.
Speaker 1: Have a bridge.
Speaker 2: And also, if Uma has the same kind of power
Speaker 2: that mal does, why can't she also enchant things to
Speaker 2: just drive straight across Because she's outside the dome already,
Speaker 2: because she's in the water as they're leaving, So why.
Speaker 3: Couldn't she just can start going? Like why wasn't she back? What?
Speaker 3: I don't remember why she didn't go back to her
Speaker 3: like were they?
Speaker 2: I think because she was allowed out says like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've seen turtles the size of this and fished like
Speaker 2: they're fighting it from you. So she's just deciding to
Speaker 2: stay outside the dome, I guess.
Speaker 1: But yeah, why didn't she just go back anyway?
Speaker 2: As they drive off, Dude Carlos's dog yells, warning him
Speaker 2: that he's going to miss Jane's birthday, and with that
Speaker 2: we caught to a birthday party where Chad Charming points
Speaker 2: out to Jane that carl This appears to have forgotten
Speaker 2: about the party, and then Audrey arrives. It looks like
Speaker 2: someone forgot to invite her. Chad Charming runs to her
Speaker 2: he wants to be her loyal boyfriend, partner in crime
Speaker 2: or lackey, and she agrees she could use some help.
Speaker 3: His hair is much longer, too, is it?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, do you remember Chad Charming from there?
Speaker 1: I remember the character sure, absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yes, And he was like all like clean cut. His
Speaker 3: hair is much longer too, So again I'm thinking this
Speaker 3: is happened.
Speaker 1: In the Harry Potter movies too. By the third or
Speaker 1: fourth all the dudes had long hair.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's kind of well, first, there's so
Speaker 3: many years probably in between them, and like that's like
Speaker 3: more of the style now. I don't know, I'm still
Speaker 3: like to the point where his hair being long, I
Speaker 3: didn't recognize him at first.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the third Harry Potter, where they tried to make
Speaker 2: it look like they were in a throttle, they all
Speaker 2: kind of had long hair, and then the fourth for
Speaker 2: Goblet of Fire put.
Speaker 3: Them in a throutle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The guy who directed the third Harry Potter was famous
Speaker 2: for directing some movie about a three way and like
Speaker 2: like recreated a lot of the same shots where Harry
Speaker 2: and Hermione are holding onto each other and Ron's like
Speaker 2: holding onto the boat, like it looks like they're basically
Speaker 2: in a throuble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was things everybody said anyway.
Speaker 2: Now with a sidekick, she starts singing a creepy version
Speaker 2: of a Happy Birthday to Jane and puts everyone asleep
Speaker 2: with pink smoke. Jane, somehow, though, realizes that she can
Speaker 2: avoid it by going into the enchanted lake and staying underwater.
Speaker 2: Once alone, she calls Ben and informs him on Audrey's
Speaker 2: new persona. She tells him to stay home. She's gonna
Speaker 2: call her mom for her wand meanwhile, Eve, Celia, Jay, Carlos,
Speaker 2: and Mal arrive on the aisle. Since evil magic doesn't
Speaker 2: work there, Mal is back to her regular self. Celia
Speaker 2: then opens her dad's door with a weird rhythmic knock.
Speaker 1: Okay, so if she were to leave the island again
Speaker 1: before seeing her dad and getting the ember, she'd still
Speaker 1: be the Hag. Right, Yes, they didn't break the spell
Speaker 1: just by going to the island. It's just that that
Speaker 1: magic doesn't work there. So if she then leaves without
Speaker 1: getting the ember to break the will still be the
Speaker 1: Hag if she goes back to Oridon, right.
Speaker 3: I think? Okay, I was this is what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: I know, I a lot of work, Like I'm starting
Speaker 3: to get tired, and I'm looking at the time and
Speaker 3: we still have one hundred and five.
Speaker 1: I know it was this one got This one got
Speaker 1: a little convoluted to me. It got convoluted to me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was making it a musical. It did.
Speaker 1: It got a little this one got a little mushy.
Speaker 3: There was well, it was just a lot of information.
Speaker 3: It was like watching the first episode in first season
Speaker 3: of Game of Thrones, like you're just tired because you're
Speaker 3: like trying to remember and soak it all in and then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot going on. Okay.
Speaker 2: So Celia then opens her dad's door with a weird
Speaker 2: rhythmic knock. We're now inside doctor Facilier's Voodoo Arcade, which
Speaker 2: is another really cool set. So rad I guess voodoo
Speaker 2: Arcade is like a demented circus, kind of homemade circus,
Speaker 2: which is kind of cool. It's like kind of evil,
Speaker 2: a little evil feeling, so let which is awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Celia greets her dad with a little TikTok dance, and
Speaker 2: he hopes she has a hustle going on.
Speaker 1: She says she has friends on the other side and
Speaker 1: they're on a mission.
Speaker 2: She takes the key as Carlos watches a news report
Speaker 2: about a sleeping spell spreading through Orodon. Apparently, a rumor
Speaker 2: is that Sleeping Beauty's daughter is behind the spell, but
Speaker 2: no one believes that. Why a sleeping spell They wouldn't
Speaker 2: believe was coming from Sleeping Beauty's daughter.
Speaker 3: Well, because she her mom was put to sleep.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's like it would.
Speaker 3: Make more sense from but she Molficit, the.
Speaker 1: Master of sleeping spells, and everyone knows Mollificson isn't there,
Speaker 1: so right.
Speaker 3: Okay, she's still a little baby lizard, right.
Speaker 1: But also she's not supposed to be evil.
Speaker 2: I get what you're trying to say, but come on,
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, Gunny Pete couldn't be shooting people.
Speaker 2: With this news, the gang leaves the Voodoo Arcade, only
Speaker 2: to see Hook's son and his friends stealing their bikes.
Speaker 2: The guys unsuccessfully run after them as mel and Celia
Speaker 2: are off to snatch the ember during Haiti's nap time.
Speaker 2: When they arrive, Celia unlocks the gate and tells Meal
Speaker 2: to be quiet, and immediately a dog starts barking, forcing
Speaker 2: them to jump quick.
Speaker 1: What's the name of the dog that guards Hades guards
Speaker 1: the underworld? Three headed dog? Big three headed dog.
Speaker 3: Oh don't know, Cerberus.
Speaker 1: He's a big puppy paid with them. I'm kidding. I
Speaker 1: have never met a three headed dog guarding.
Speaker 3: And this is all from Hercules. I loved this. I
Speaker 3: loved Had's look.
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, just like the hair, eyes looked
Speaker 1: sick yep, yeah, everything it worked.
Speaker 2: He was He was by far my favorite character other
Speaker 2: than of the new people are even the original four Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was my favorite. Celia and Mal grab helmets and
Speaker 2: board a bicycle powered mine cart and start pedaling on
Speaker 2: tracks with the underground tunnels. They arrive at a hidden
Speaker 2: cave and the dog barking continues, but it turns out
Speaker 2: to just be a record player. They say Haiti's sleeping
Speaker 2: in a chair with the ember nearby, and when Celia,
Speaker 2: for absolutely no reason whatsoever what you thinking, stops the
Speaker 2: record player, Haiti wakes up smooth move xlax. He asks
Speaker 2: what she's doing, and Celia says she noticed he was
Speaker 2: low on cancorn. Mouse sneaks up behind him, but Haiti
Speaker 2: grabs her hand when she tries to take the ember
Speaker 2: and they stare at each other, and that's when Mal says, Hi, Dad,
Speaker 2: what's And.
Speaker 3: Again I'm going to wait, did I know that? Did
Speaker 3: I know that? Did I know that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think we knew that. No, No, this was new.
Speaker 2: He tells her that she put on quite a show
Speaker 2: the other day, and she says, right back at you.
Speaker 2: She accuses him of abandoning her as a baby, but
Speaker 2: he says no, he left her mother. He says they
Speaker 2: both hate her mother, but Mal says she doesn't. At
Speaker 2: least she's stuck around. Haiti says she needs to wake
Speaker 2: up and smell the stink. He used to be a god.
Speaker 2: Now he has nothing, and she has no idea what
Speaker 2: that feels like. She disagrees. For sixteen years she's had
Speaker 2: nothing and now she'll lose a whole world if she
Speaker 2: can't take the emperor.
Speaker 1: Is she supposed to be sixteen and getting married?
Speaker 3: That's that's a good question.
Speaker 2: I figured she was supposed to be eighteen nineteen. They
Speaker 2: were just about to graduate. Maybe she was held back
Speaker 2: a year because she evil Island doesn't have the same
Speaker 2: education system.
Speaker 3: So but she remember, I mean, we had a big
Speaker 3: issue with Ben becoming king at like thirteen years old, right,
Speaker 3: all right, but that's normal.
Speaker 2: I mean again, that's she's like eighteen in the third
Speaker 2: movie because it's been two years.
Speaker 1: But she says sixteen. Okay. I think maybe she was
Speaker 1: for sixteen years, is what she meant when she had nothing.
Speaker 1: Now she has stuff and she's been there for two years.
Speaker 1: Now she's eighteen and she wants to protect her family.
Speaker 1: I think that's what they mean.
Speaker 3: Okay, hopefully we'll go with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, good.
Speaker 3: Even eighteen getting married is hey young?
Speaker 1: At least you're legal at that point, but this is, oh,
Speaker 1: pretty young. It's very young again when Will takes over
Speaker 1: the world. And you know I'm going to do when
Speaker 1: I start talking to myself in the third person. First thing,
Speaker 1: nobody can get married till they're thirty. That's just part
Speaker 1: of the law.
Speaker 2: Then we get our next song, a jumpy rock tune
Speaker 2: called do what You Gotta Do perform while Mal tries
Speaker 2: to get the ember and argues with her dad about
Speaker 2: their relationship and ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: It's official, Daddy issues are back. What did you think
Speaker 1: of the song?
Speaker 3: I did like this one?
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 3: I I liked it. I think, I mean again, I
Speaker 3: think it's the movie within this whole movie. It has
Speaker 3: nothing to do with the performers or the vocals or
Speaker 3: anything that is that of an issue. It's whether the
Speaker 3: move the actual song, was one needed or like moved
Speaker 3: me and this one I did like I did. This
Speaker 3: was one of my more like I like this one.
Speaker 1: Probably they were great together on screen, and uh yes,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 3: I loved the movement.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, this was cool.
Speaker 2: When the song ends, she says, if he wants to
Speaker 2: make up for being a lousy dad, he can give
Speaker 2: her the ember, but he has some bad news. She's
Speaker 2: only half hades. It's useless to her, but Mal says
Speaker 2: she'll take her chances. The proud dad then hands her
Speaker 2: the ember with a warning if it gets wet, it's
Speaker 2: game over.
Speaker 1: Wow, like at all, that's it. Like I spilled one
Speaker 1: drink on it. All my power has gone.
Speaker 3: My hands are sweaty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously, my god.
Speaker 3: Like this is not that great of a number.
Speaker 2: No, it's a terrible ember. How many times you dropped
Speaker 2: your phone in the toilet.
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, my gosh, I mean god.
Speaker 2: As he walks away, Mal reveals that Evie was the
Speaker 2: only one that knew Hades is her dad, and as
Speaker 2: far as she's concerned, he doesn't even exist. Back at
Speaker 2: Ben's castle, he tells the guard to find if Audrey
Speaker 2: has a list of demands, and when the guard leaves,
Speaker 2: Audrey by the way, worst guards ever get better guards.
Speaker 2: This is just a land of awful, awful guards. Audrey
Speaker 2: magically appears behind him. She says she has just one proposition.
Speaker 2: She'll wake everybody up if he makes her his queen
Speaker 2: and they rule side by side. That's when you lie
Speaker 2: to her and say, of course, baby, of course that
Speaker 2: I've always loved you. Take a damn you're good go Yeah, But.
Speaker 1: You also just say no, you just go. Yeah, of
Speaker 1: course I've always sad.
Speaker 3: What I mean, Yeah, that's what I mean. I'd be like,
Speaker 3: you're good, go. This is more important.
Speaker 1: Grab her in the head one time, put her in jail.
Speaker 3: How hard is this, dude, And then obviously put the crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then put the crown right back on the pedal. Still,
Speaker 2: put the evil thing right back where it goes. And uh,
Speaker 2: fire the one security guard you had because he's useless,
Speaker 2: so why.
Speaker 1: Keep at all? Yeah? Uh?
Speaker 2: He wonders if someone put a spell on her, but
Speaker 2: she says she just wasn't bad enough for him. He
Speaker 2: liked the old Audrey more because she wouldn't want to
Speaker 2: hurt Ordon. He tells her to give him the scepter
Speaker 2: and he'll forgive her, but that makes her even angrier.
Speaker 2: She says that sleeping is too good for him and
Speaker 2: too good for Ordon, and she casts a new spell,
Speaker 2: turning some of the residents into stone, including the fairy Godmother.
Speaker 2: Back on the island, lost, Carlos, ev j Mal, and
Speaker 2: Celia head through the portal, but Harry Hook and Gil
Speaker 2: jump through it before it closes, and it feels like
Speaker 2: maybe they should be a little more careful while closing
Speaker 2: the portal. This has now happened twice in like a
Speaker 2: half an hour. Yes, so maybe just don't click it
Speaker 2: like your garage doors. You're driving away hoping it's going
Speaker 2: to close. Because even I spend the whole day like.
Speaker 1: Did I shut the ground?
Speaker 2: Did I close the evil portal before I left?
Speaker 1: Bad?
Speaker 2: Uh? There is a melee. Then when Harry Hook pushes Carlos,
Speaker 2: it caused his mouth to drop. The Emver who has
Speaker 2: just been carrying it didn't put it in her pocket,
Speaker 2: which is kind of dumb.
Speaker 3: Or didn't have like a specific little pouch.
Speaker 1: Some sure something. She's just holding it like this and.
Speaker 3: Surrounding water without thinking. Yeah, exactly, it was the whole
Speaker 3: world is like it's a sleep.
Speaker 1: This is where to me it was it was very lazy, Yes,
Speaker 1: like it was just kind of like, Okay, why would
Speaker 1: I be holding this?
Speaker 2: Like as an actor, I'd be like, why would I
Speaker 2: be holding this? Why wouldn't I put it in my pocket?
Speaker 2: Maybe I go to reach it and then somebody grabs
Speaker 2: my hand and it falls. Why am I just holding
Speaker 2: it the whole time?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems strange, but yes, it's.
Speaker 3: Just feeling like we're just trying to hurry and quickly
Speaker 3: get to our next musical. Yeah, and I feel like
Speaker 3: I'm that'sind of what it was feeling like to me.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: When Harry tries to grab it, goes flying into the ocean,
Speaker 2: but right before it hits the water and it is
Speaker 2: rendered useless, UMA's tentacle pops up to grab it.
Speaker 1: She emerges from the sea and yes, great reveal love him.
Speaker 1: So it was like great, perfect way.
Speaker 3: To bring her bad or maybe that's what we were rushing.
Speaker 1: To maybe, yeah, but it was still like figure.
Speaker 3: It was rushing, it was just fumbling through.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed.
Speaker 2: Mal tells her to give it back because it can't
Speaker 2: get wet, and Uma transforms back int her human on
Speaker 2: the rock. And my guess is UMA's giant wet tentacle.
Speaker 1: Would have gotten it wet. But okay, I think so
Speaker 1: that's all right.
Speaker 3: But I've never touched a live octopus tentacle or.
Speaker 2: A magical crystal that does all that kind of stuff, right,
Speaker 2: totally different thing. I actually have touched a live octopus
Speaker 2: tentacle and it's wet.
Speaker 1: You've never done it. You've never done like a type
Speaker 1: thing you touch. Oh missing out.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Nope, I don't like it.
Speaker 3: I love it looks too much like a snake.
Speaker 1: I love it. Had snakes wrapped around me too, Ohma.
Speaker 2: Said, I've got a lot. Don't put me on top
Speaker 2: of a building heights all freak out. But you want
Speaker 2: to wrap a giant snake around me?
Speaker 1: Not a problem. I'm fine with something I can fight like.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't like ghosts. Like.
Speaker 2: If I can fight something, I've got a chance against
Speaker 2: the snake. I don't have a chance against a building,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, I can I believe, Like,
Speaker 2: give me something I can actually fight.
Speaker 1: I stop that. I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3: I just went to the zoo, just a little small
Speaker 3: zoo Monroe recently and found out like she's like really
Speaker 3: into snakes.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're gonna get You're gonna have a terrarium with snake.
Speaker 3: No. Do you know what I told her? I lied.
Speaker 1: I lied to her. I don't care.
Speaker 3: We'll do whatever I told her. I said, do you
Speaker 3: know that snakes eat their owners?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Suprena, you did not say.
Speaker 3: It, because that's how bad. I don't want a snake
Speaker 3: like one.
Speaker 2: Of the world's foremost reptologists or something.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I don't care. I don't care. You
Speaker 3: have to find a different dreams snakes. I did well.
Speaker 3: I actually had just been watching Euphoria and they talked
Speaker 3: about the boa constrictor that did like sleep with their
Speaker 3: owner and then stopped eating. And the vet told the
Speaker 3: owner that your snake is preparing it self to eat you.
Speaker 3: Like that's it was it part of the storyline. And
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's real or not.
Speaker 1: But the kid's sex drug show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm more scared of viphoria than I am of snakes.
Speaker 3: That just made me go, Okay.
Speaker 1: I know what, I know what I'm getting her for
Speaker 1: a birthday.
Speaker 3: Don't know what I'm getting her. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: Beautiful python. She's gonna love it.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, no will. I'm gonna have God dreams
Speaker 3: about its night like I swear, it's awful, but I did.
Speaker 3: I told her, I said, you know that they eat
Speaker 3: their owners sometimes, and she goes, are you serious, mom?
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, serious.
Speaker 1: She also toys. They just eat your toys and your
Speaker 1: and your body.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is it in your little Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, you.
Speaker 3: Can't have one. She cannot have one. I'm gonna telling
Speaker 3: you whatever it get a different idea that she started
Speaker 3: going to.
Speaker 1: It's fine. I'll get her at tarantula.
Speaker 3: I'd be way better with a tarantula than a snake.
Speaker 1: Back.
Speaker 2: We're gonna pit a tarantula in the snake against each other,
Speaker 2: and your daughter and I are gonna watch them fight
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, you can do that at your house, Uma says.
Speaker 2: While in the water, she found out that Ordon is
Speaker 2: even better than she imagined. Uma says she'll give Mal
Speaker 2: the Ember back if they can guarantee every single villain
Speaker 2: kid can leave the island if they want to, Even
Speaker 2: though at first she says she can't promise that, Mal
Speaker 2: gives in and makes the deal, buying just like Hey, yeah.
Speaker 1: Snakes eat you.
Speaker 2: Uma says she's gonna hold onto the Ember, though she
Speaker 2: just doesn't trust Mal, and since it's the job for pirates,
Speaker 2: the one time rivals, Uma, Gil and Harry decide to
Speaker 2: team up to stop Audrey, and with that, the big
Speaker 2: squad heads back to Orodon. When they get to Ordon Prep,
Speaker 2: everyone is passed out and Mal can't reach Bend the
Speaker 2: cell signals out.
Speaker 1: Carlos finds Dude the Dog, which.
Speaker 2: Is obviously the talking dog earlier, who confirms that Audrey
Speaker 2: is behind this and that some people, including Hannah, have
Speaker 2: turned into stone with this news. After some bickering between
Speaker 2: Mal and Uma, they head to the castle over at
Speaker 2: Aurora's College. Now, Audrey uses the scepter to see that
Speaker 2: Mal and her team are in the woods. She doesn't
Speaker 2: understand how Mal broke her spell or what Uma is
Speaker 2: doing there. She assumes it was Chad and throws a
Speaker 2: glass bowl at him. Mal in the gang rabbit Ben's
Speaker 2: castle and do the dog leads them to a large
Speaker 2: room where Harry Hook notices one of these.
Speaker 1: Silver Knights has moved. Pink smoke seeps out of its mask.
Speaker 2: Audrey has put a spell on the empty armour, now
Speaker 2: controlling it with malefics and sceptor. And it's not just
Speaker 2: a battle, it's our next song. This apply titled night Falls.
Speaker 2: The Core four fight the Cursed Knights alongside Uma, Harry
Speaker 2: and Gil. So what do you think of the song
Speaker 2: and the sexy dancer Teine that they're doing in armor
Speaker 2: and this is where the again with the rules. I
Speaker 2: was like, what what what the what just happened? So
Speaker 2: what did you think of this one?
Speaker 3: So this song one, it's cool in the sense that
Speaker 3: I always love and there I feel like there's almost
Speaker 3: no one that does it better than Kenny Take with props,
Speaker 3: remember like with the like surfboards, the ball, the beach
Speaker 3: balls and musical He's great at prop work. I loved it.
Speaker 3: The hard part about the prop work with it is
Speaker 3: it was a sword, so they had to be very
Speaker 3: careful of it. Not like they're well, they're just they're
Speaker 3: using it, but like, no one's like at any point,
Speaker 3: like getting slashed. Sure, so that's where it kind of
Speaker 3: was like, oh, like this is his best and great.
Speaker 3: It was great in a lot of ways, but it
Speaker 3: also like was like I needed more.
Speaker 1: I needed more. The choreography was fine, but the thing
Speaker 1: I didn't get.
Speaker 3: When they started doing the like, I didn't understand why
Speaker 3: them doing like this, like all of a sudden, She's
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 1: And then the rest of them were doing belly.
Speaker 3: Dancing and then the like I didn't understand. I guess
Speaker 3: I missed it and I rewatched it twice.
Speaker 1: You didn't miss anything.
Speaker 3: I don't get in I don't get it why they
Speaker 3: still started doing something and then the soldiers started she
Speaker 3: put on them.
Speaker 2: I guess that made them do what the they were doing,
Speaker 2: But then how does that get them to lose?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't I didn't understand it. Visually, it was
Speaker 3: still very cool, it just didn't make sense to me.
Speaker 3: I need it more because if I'm getting a sword fight,
Speaker 3: I want a sword fight. I want blood. I need
Speaker 3: the gore.
Speaker 1: Like I think, I think there's a Disney way of
Speaker 1: doing that.
Speaker 2: And what I figured they were going to do was
Speaker 2: going to be like if if they somehow made the
Speaker 2: the Armored Knights mimic what they were doing, that they
Speaker 2: were then going to use their swords and like at
Speaker 2: the end, like turn it around and mimic like they
Speaker 2: stabbed themselves.
Speaker 1: So then the Armored.
Speaker 3: Knights, I think it's all too farm.
Speaker 1: Each other's helmets off.
Speaker 3: The whole sword fight in the last one with the Pirates,
Speaker 3: remember that and very like hook and that worked like
Speaker 3: they never actually used their weapons. They just each other
Speaker 3: a lot, right, but it worked and it worked like
Speaker 3: but this just it was again because the prop was
Speaker 3: the sword.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 3: I just didn't stand but it wasn't used.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what they were doing more. But anyway,
Speaker 1: like the guts, yeah, I wanted this to something else
Speaker 1: if this is what it was going to be, I know.
Speaker 2: In the end, our Radtag crew beats the odds and
Speaker 2: defeats the Knights thanks to a spell from Mal. Apparently,
Speaker 2: they celebrate, but it's still awkward between the former rivals.
Speaker 2: Evie encourages that they try an icebreaker, but they don't
Speaker 2: have the time. They separate to find Ben and Audrey
Speaker 2: and decide to meet back up at Evie's in two hours.
Speaker 1: When Malanieve entered Audrey's summer school dorm room, they find
Speaker 1: Uma laying on the bed reading Audrey's diary. She learned
Speaker 1: that Audrey hangs out at the Fairy Cottage, which is
Speaker 1: a location that was used in the past movies. We
Speaker 1: cut to the forest where the guys and Do the
Speaker 1: Dog are looking for ben.
Speaker 2: Gil finds and eats fruit off a bush and suggests
Speaker 2: another icebreaker game. He tells Jay that he likes the
Speaker 2: way he bounces and jumps off of things. Jay returns
Speaker 2: the compliment and says he likes how Gil loves the
Speaker 2: berry bushes. They all start to get along and Harry
Speaker 2: Hook tries a barry too before returning the forest.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I honestly got the vibe that maybe they were kind
Speaker 2: of gonna couple up these two characters.
Speaker 1: Did you get that vibe? Okay? And so I think
Speaker 1: they were doing that on purpose, I'm agree with.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, interesting the way they're gonna go
Speaker 2: with this, And I kind of got that like maybe
Speaker 2: this is where they're headed, which again I was like, bravo. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the girls malt Celia, Uma and Evie all arrive at
Speaker 2: Evie's house. Dizzy, Squeaky, and Squirmy are sleeping on the
Speaker 2: couch and it looks like Dizzy is having a nightmare,
Speaker 2: so Celia comforts her.
Speaker 1: In the other.
Speaker 2: Room, they hear Doug snorring. He's also under a deep
Speaker 2: sleep spell. Uma tells Evie she can wake him up,
Speaker 2: because true love's kiss works every single time. Evie admits
Speaker 2: they haven't actually used the L word yet, then asked
Speaker 2: that they could be alone. And now she starts to
Speaker 2: sing her jumpy solo song one Kiss, all about if
Speaker 2: Doug is actually her one true love. Think of this
Speaker 2: smooch obsessed segment here.
Speaker 3: This was when I was like, Okay, I felt confirmed
Speaker 3: about my earlier notion that everyone's getting solo songs, right,
Speaker 3: That's just what I thought about it.
Speaker 2: Did Cameron Boyce have have a solo or boo boo?
Speaker 1: I don't think they did. I think it's just the
Speaker 1: girls that had solos.
Speaker 3: At this point, we had started seeing and hearing stuff
Speaker 3: from both of like from these from the girls that
Speaker 3: are in the movie, Like you started hearing other songs.
Speaker 3: They were definitely like pursuing artist careers, gotcha? So this
Speaker 3: song just to me. When it came on, I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: this has to be like a contract again.
Speaker 1: Did you like it?
Speaker 3: I did. I thought it was like cute. I mean
Speaker 3: it's for you know. I think this is like a
Speaker 3: younger version of like Sophia Carson's like like song, so
Speaker 3: it's kind of young for her, but I think her
Speaker 3: character is just so adorable and like a song like
Speaker 3: this is very cute, but again too long. Like I
Speaker 3: didn't think these songs needed to be as long as
Speaker 3: they were as solo songs, right, gotcha, Like get the
Speaker 3: point across? Yeah, and it like do like a vert,
Speaker 3: like have a song on a soundtrack, right, have a
Speaker 3: full song on a soundtrack, but like in the movie,
Speaker 3: like verse, chorus, maybe a little bit of something and
Speaker 3: then you're done. Right, I don't think these songs need.
Speaker 2: To be It's interesting though, how you said that, because
Speaker 2: I now you now that I'm thinking about it, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is just totally a solo for her.
Speaker 1: It's like this is what you get. Come on back.
Speaker 2: You're dancing yourself, you're singing yourself, you're running around o
Speaker 2: by yourself. They're coming in and doing the doops. But
Speaker 2: it's just like just you. Yeah, totally makes sense. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 2: the song ends and she does kiss them, and when
Speaker 2: nothing happens, she walks away at first, but he quickly
Speaker 2: wakes up joking around.
Speaker 1: It did, in fact work.
Speaker 3: I love them, Remember how we loved them?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a great couple. They are a great arguably
Speaker 1: my favorite. Yes.
Speaker 2: Back in the forest, the guys are still looking for
Speaker 2: Ben when a beast adjacent creature kind of in a
Speaker 2: blue outfit jumps out from behind a tree. He growls
Speaker 2: and attacks the but they're quick to fight back, especially because.
Speaker 1: It's four on one. Carlos thinks it's Ben and wonders
Speaker 1: if Audrey did that to him. Jay even recognizes his pants.
Speaker 1: Carlos tries to calm the beast and gets a splinter
Speaker 1: out of his hand. They finally created a truce when
Speaker 1: Jane appears, spraying the creature with water from the enchanted lake,
Speaker 1: turning him back to human form. It was Ben. We
Speaker 1: knew it was Ben. He was wearing the same clothes.
Speaker 1: Carlos and Jane reunite, but Harry Hook doesn't care. He
Speaker 1: starts hitting on Jane.
Speaker 2: Carlos is quick to step up and say she's taken,
Speaker 2: and Ben is still just as confused.
Speaker 1: Why are these pirates hanging out with him?
Speaker 2: That's when they head back to the girls, knowing that
Speaker 2: working together for the Ember is the only way to
Speaker 2: save the city.
Speaker 1: We are now back at Evie's house.
Speaker 2: Mal thanks Uma for her help, and the unlikely Palace
Speaker 2: are starting to get along, and over in Audrey's cottage,
Speaker 2: she's still watching on through the scepter. She laughs, these
Speaker 2: girls think they're on the right track, but they aren't
Speaker 2: going anywhere. She tells Chad Charming she's going to mess
Speaker 2: them up a little and locks them in the closet,
Speaker 2: and we're now quickly back at Eve's. Mal and Umar
Speaker 2: are sharing a cake and mending wounds, when all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, the house starts to get boarded up. It
Speaker 2: is another spell from Audrey and now they're trapped inside.
Speaker 2: Mal herself tries a spell, but it doesn't work. Uma,
Speaker 2: now at the ember around her neck, recites the spell
Speaker 2: with Mal. This time it works. All the boards fall
Speaker 2: off the house. Audrey is still watching on through the
Speaker 2: scepter and screams no. Ev points out that Uma and
Speaker 2: Mal working together, this is what she's been talking about
Speaker 2: Uma finally trusts Mal and gives her back the ember.
Speaker 2: Celia takes a peek out the window and sees the guys.
Speaker 2: Mal races to Ben and everyone hugs. Ben tells Uma
Speaker 2: he's always known she'd been a part of the solution.
Speaker 2: The girls reveal that Audrey might be at the Fairy cottage,
Speaker 2: and Ben says Audrey took him there every Fairy Godmother's Day.
Speaker 2: Carlos then gives Jane her birthday gift. It's a necklace, that,
Speaker 2: says Jarlos, which is their names together, Sabrina, should we
Speaker 2: get each other Jarlos neck with necklaces?
Speaker 1: What would it be? Would it be Si Bill or
Speaker 1: would it be will Brina? Sounds so, aren't they great?
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm gonna be honest with billing. Will
Speaker 1: Brina is great.
Speaker 3: Dell Bridell, Bridell sounds kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Bride Dell's okay or Fryan? Okay? Will Brina Fryan. I
Speaker 1: think that's good. I will have the necklaces made up.
Speaker 1: I'd like two gold plated will Brina Frying necklaces, please,
Speaker 1: Ben says. Doug and Jane to find Fairy Godmother, and
Speaker 1: Gil joins for muscle and everyone else makes their way
Speaker 1: to the Fairy cottage. They enter, but Audrey is nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. But they hear some knocking at the
Speaker 1: front door. They hear some knocking at the door. It's
Speaker 1: Chad Charming. He's on the floor, rocking back and forth.
Speaker 1: He says he wants his mommy.
Speaker 2: When he realizes Audrey is gone, he snaps back in
Speaker 2: reality and runs away.
Speaker 1: He is free. We're now outside the museum.
Speaker 2: Jane, Doug, and Gil find Fairy Godmother frozen on the steps.
Speaker 2: Jane gets emotional and promises her mom they'll make everything right.
Speaker 1: And simultaneously, while everyone is leaving the cottage, Mel finally
Speaker 1: tells everyone the truth.
Speaker 2: Kids won't be coming off the island anymore. She's closing
Speaker 2: the program and the barrier will shut for good. Uma
Speaker 2: says she knew it was a mistake to trust her,
Speaker 2: and Harry Hook assumes that King Benny will probably just
Speaker 2: throw them away. Even young Celia gets out of the action,
Speaker 2: calling Mall a chicken, then grabbing the anvert from Mal's
Speaker 2: hand and throwing it into a bird feeder full of water.
Speaker 2: She takes their only weapon and destroys it. Sparks fly
Speaker 2: and Mal tries to spell to fix it, but nothing works.
Speaker 2: Way to go dumb and with that, Uma, Celia and
Speaker 2: Harry hook walk away. Mal apologizes to ev she is
Speaker 2: so sorry. She swears she had to do something to
Speaker 2: protect Orodon, but Evie can't believe she lied to the kids,
Speaker 2: and now what need her?
Speaker 3: Why did she choose this? Yom? Seriously I needed to know.
Speaker 3: I literally was screaming at my television, going why no,
Speaker 3: why now? Why why can't we fix the current problem
Speaker 3: before you start bringing more bull drama? Mal like she couldn't.
Speaker 2: Hold it in anymore because they were starting to bond
Speaker 2: as a team, and she's like, I can't go any
Speaker 2: farther without telling you that I actually killed all your parents.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 3: You're about to be queen. You've got to be stronger
Speaker 3: than that, now, Yeah, don't read the room.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. Yeah, I agree, dude, I agree.
Speaker 3: It's like what you obviously know. Exposing this, you're gonna
Speaker 3: piss off your friends and the people that you just
Speaker 3: created to like join the pack. You're realizing you need
Speaker 3: all of them.
Speaker 1: Why do this? Now? You're right, right, right, let's.
Speaker 3: Get another solo song.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 3: You're probably right that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You're right, that's what's gonna happen. That's what it is now, Evie.
Speaker 2: Carlos and Jay walk away, and Mouse screams that she
Speaker 2: had no choice.
Speaker 1: I had no choice.
Speaker 3: I could have been quiet for.
Speaker 2: Shut my mouth for another two hours of this film
Speaker 2: and then told you at the end over the credits.
Speaker 3: The end.
Speaker 2: But no, just then lightning and pink smoke strike, turning
Speaker 2: your friends to stone.
Speaker 1: She's crying and starts to sing my fans a stone.
Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding, it's called my once upon a time,
Speaker 2: all about her leg see which is now somewhat tainted,
Speaker 2: and maybe save everybody, and then sing yes everybody.
Speaker 3: Also, I didn't understand. Now I'm like telling you, I'm
Speaker 3: like really confused, I'm tired, I'm a little exhausted at
Speaker 3: this point. Why did they turn to stone?
Speaker 2: Because she because because Audrey did it, But we don't
Speaker 2: know why or how and why if that's the case,
Speaker 2: didn't she do it just before when they got to
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't.
Speaker 3: She have done that before? Like like I didn't understand,
Speaker 3: I don't this circumstance made.
Speaker 1: Did it?
Speaker 3: But yes, why and why didn't she do it.
Speaker 1: Before, because my guess is she wanted to wait till
Speaker 1: they were at their weakest. So now the okay, ah,
Speaker 1: I think I know.
Speaker 3: What it is. Okay, so they destroy.
Speaker 2: They because they destroyed the ember, so they have no
Speaker 2: protection against it anymore. And so she turned her friends
Speaker 2: to stone, but kept her there so she could witness.
Speaker 1: Look what you just did. Look what I just did.
Speaker 1: All your friends. I'm being as evil as I possibly can.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you watch this. And she's like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come kick your after I sing a song. So
Speaker 1: that that's why I think I gotta sing. I'll be
Speaker 1: right with you, but give me one second.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, so that's what I think happened.
Speaker 3: We should write a musical will and you get to
Speaker 3: you get to be the one that writes the song
Speaker 3: parts of it, and I want it to be that
Speaker 3: you're I.
Speaker 1: Hate you saying everything down. I would say everything going on,
Speaker 1: I'm walking down the stairs with for friends and would
Speaker 1: dance in like I would do stuff like.
Speaker 3: That, snap in my fingers.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Step awake, snap, snap, snap, and then other people come
Speaker 2: in and snap.
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be Now I'm hailing the cab
Speaker 1: with my friends. We can't all fit in this cab. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome. Yep, we gotta come up with
Speaker 1: a name. What's it gonna be called? Oh God, magical
Speaker 1: Rewind that's what it is. It's magical Rewind.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do our podcast as a musical one day.
Speaker 1: I'm calling Kenny Ortega. This is a brilliant He will
Speaker 1: be in. He's in, he said.
Speaker 2: After the song, she sprints after Uma and Harry, finding
Speaker 2: them outside Ordon prep, Mal begs for their help.
Speaker 1: They have a chance. So why didn't she then.
Speaker 2: Turn Uma and Harry also into maybe because they're bad
Speaker 2: and she thinks they're.
Speaker 1: Gonna help her. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Anyway, they have a chance if they do this together.
Speaker 2: Uma cares about Ordon, but she says Mal brought this
Speaker 2: on herself. She'll need to figure it out on her own.
Speaker 2: The song continues now with the montage of I Love
Speaker 2: a montage with everything her and her friends have been through,
Speaker 2: and when the song does actually end, we hear Celia
Speaker 2: calling for help. Mal turns into the Dragon to fight Audrey,
Speaker 2: who's holding Celia hostage At the top of Ordon Prep.
Speaker 2: The battle begins, but Celia is too close to Audrey
Speaker 2: for Mel to breathe the dragonfire. Uma and Harry see
Speaker 2: what's going on, and Uma knows Mal doesn't stand a
Speaker 2: chance without the Ember. Audrey shoots her sceptorate Mal and
Speaker 2: the dragon falls from the sky. Uma and Harry run
Speaker 2: over to help, admitting they're stronger together, so now they're
Speaker 2: friends again. Uma holds onto her shell necklace and recites
Speaker 2: the spell Regain your might and Ignite. With the newfound power,
Speaker 2: Mal reveals hadess ember and it starts to glow again,
Speaker 2: so apparently it isn't destroyed by water.
Speaker 1: Empowered, Mal flies back to the top of the castle
Speaker 1: and exchanges magical blasts with Audrey. Mal's attack eventually overpowers
Speaker 1: the Sceptor, defeating Audrey and breaking all the curses that
Speaker 1: are cast across Arodon. Mal turns human again on top
Speaker 1: of Orodon Prep and Celia runs over to hugger. They
Speaker 1: notice Audrey's just lying there and not moving. That's when
Speaker 1: as a group they go over. They pick her up
Speaker 1: and throw her off the top of the tower. We
Speaker 1: follow as she splats on the ground dead. Forever, I'm kiddoed,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. We don't do that, that's right. They
Speaker 1: notice Audrey's just lying there, not moving. Mal.
Speaker 2: Here's her dad repeating the words, you're only half Hades.
Speaker 2: The ember won't do everything for you, it does for me.
Speaker 2: That's when we cut to Evie's house, where Dizzy, Squeaky,
Speaker 2: and Squirmy are now waking up and rushing to eat cake.
Speaker 2: We also see the fairy godmother, Evie, Carlos, j and Ben.
Speaker 2: They're also breaking out of their statue spells. In Audrey's bedroom,
Speaker 2: she's still lying motionless with everyone watching over her.
Speaker 1: Evie says she's slipping away.
Speaker 2: Mal says, there's only one person in the world you
Speaker 2: might be able to do something about this, and that's Hades.
Speaker 2: And my suggestion was, you know what, let her die.
Speaker 2: She just tried to kill everybody. Let her die.
Speaker 1: Ben thinks he'd never agree to helpless. Now I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you don't even have to let her die. We won't
Speaker 1: even let her die. Just shut the door and let
Speaker 1: nature take its course. I'm sure she'll sleep it off,
Speaker 1: she'll be fine. Ben thinks he'd never agree to help,
Speaker 1: but Mal says he just might do it for her.
Speaker 1: He's her father. Everyone is shocked by the revelation, but
Speaker 1: Ben sends guards to get him anyway. Uma asked to
Speaker 1: hitch a ride because the island is her home and
Speaker 1: someone needs to be there to protect it. Harry also
Speaker 1: volunteers be her first mate, which is code for a
Speaker 1: wah wah. Mal knows the ile will be safe. Actually
Speaker 1: they don't end up together. Mal knows the isle will
Speaker 1: be safe in their hands. Celia asks if she can
Speaker 1: also go home and wishes she could be in both places.
Speaker 1: Mal apologizes for lying, which you shouldn't have told him
Speaker 1: in the first place, and thinks she could have been
Speaker 1: good friends with Uma, And now everyone seems to understand
Speaker 1: she was trying to do the right thing. They're like,
Speaker 1: it's all right, girl. I was like, but you just
Speaker 1: hated me for this. Why is it okay?
Speaker 3: Now it's okay because they've got to move there. I looked,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh my gosh, we still have like
Speaker 3: a good jem.
Speaker 1: Right, That's why it's like, okay, here.
Speaker 3: We go, come on.
Speaker 4: I go.
Speaker 2: Hades arrives and shackles to Ordon. Mal, Ben, Bell, and
Speaker 2: Beast are all waiting in Audrey's room. When he enters,
Speaker 2: Mal thanks him for coming, and Ben asks if he'll
Speaker 2: be able to wake her. Haiti says she's gonna have
Speaker 2: to use his hands, so they take off the cuffs
Speaker 2: and Mal hands him the ember. He recognizes the irony
Speaker 2: and double standard and needing to save the day, yet
Speaker 2: he's still willing to help.
Speaker 1: His blue haired knight's very cool. Then he exchanges growls
Speaker 1: of Ben's dad, the Beast, which is also very cool,
Speaker 1: and Mal yells at him to focus. He approaches the
Speaker 1: bed and starts moving around the ember, and then Audrey
Speaker 1: sits up. She's awake. Everyone is shocked and thankful.
Speaker 2: Audrey hopes everything was just a bad dream and apologizes
Speaker 2: to everyone. Mal and Ben also admit they've owed Audrey
Speaker 2: an apology for a very long time, so it's a
Speaker 2: big apology fest. Joining into that apology, vest Audrew's grandmother
Speaker 2: also says she's sorry to Mal, and the guards grab
Speaker 2: Haities take him back to the aisle. Mal runs out
Speaker 2: after yelling Dad and kisses him on the cheek. He
Speaker 2: hands her the blue ember and she stands there crying.
Speaker 2: Now outside of the castle, Ben and malarive and everyone
Speaker 2: in Ordon is cheering. Ben thanks them for celebrating their engagement,
Speaker 2: and everyone raises their glasses to the new Queen of Ordon.
Speaker 2: When Carlos Yell's speech, Mal does speak. She says she
Speaker 2: can't be the Queen of Oredon. She's decided to close
Speaker 2: the barrier forever, and it was the wrong decision. She's
Speaker 2: learned that you can't live in fear because it doesn't
Speaker 2: actually protect you from anything. Uman the Pirates help saved Rodon,
Speaker 2: helped save Orodon, and without her father Hades, they wouldn't
Speaker 2: have stood a chance.
Speaker 1: Everyone is capable of good and bad, no matter what
Speaker 1: side they come from. She needs to be queen of
Speaker 1: both Rodon and the Aisle Ah, so she just wanted
Speaker 1: power over both. Smart She's making it seem like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just want I'd just be better if I was the
Speaker 1: queen of everyone. And this time they take the barrier
Speaker 1: down forever. Ah. So it all worked out in the end.
Speaker 2: The Beast says that's impossible, but Ben says it's actually not.
Speaker 2: You just pointed it and say three words, so really
Speaker 2: not that impossible. It's like a key ye pretty much.
Speaker 2: But he says it's time for forgiveness and new beginnings,
Speaker 2: which it's like a deodorant and the barrier.
Speaker 1: Will come down now on new beginnings.
Speaker 2: Everyone slowly starts to cheer louder and louder, until fairy
Speaker 2: Godmother hands mal her wand the core four all say,
Speaker 2: to make the world a better place, we all have
Speaker 2: to do it face to face. Then she points the
Speaker 2: wand to the aisle and the bridge starts to connect.
Speaker 1: Once fully built. People start to cross the bridge, including
Speaker 1: Uma and the Pirates. Sounds like a great band name.
Speaker 2: Then they all start to sing break this down, celebrating
Speaker 2: the new era. It's a big performance here, Sabrina, you're
Speaker 2: the expert. Whole company number including a parade and a
Speaker 2: large paper mache dragon.
Speaker 1: What did you think of this one?
Speaker 3: This is where Kenny thrives, right, I love it, yep,
Speaker 3: Kenny thrives in this and I loved this. Was the
Speaker 3: first time that we got to it was in a
Speaker 3: new venue, right like it was on this bridge, like
Speaker 3: obviously green screened, but like it just like to me,
Speaker 3: was very cool, It felt fresh, and it was great.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, I agree, this was a great This
Speaker 1: is this one and the first one and the first
Speaker 1: one Kenny take a specials Yeah, Hm, the KOs, the
Speaker 1: Kenny or take a special yes.
Speaker 2: Celia's dad, Dizzy's grandmother, Lady Tremaine, and even Smee Smee.
Speaker 2: Smee arrived to join in the fun. Jane tells Carlos
Speaker 2: she's nervous to meet his mom, but dude, the dog
Speaker 2: doesn't understand you're nervous. His mom's Corolla de Ville.
Speaker 1: I'm petrified. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2: That's a good moment, Carlo says, wait until she finds
Speaker 2: out he wants to be a vet. Jay and Gill
Speaker 2: continue to develop a friendship while Jaye and Gil I'm
Speaker 2: telling you that's gonna be something, while Audrey and Harry
Speaker 2: Hook go off together, and then Hades arrives asking if
Speaker 2: he's invited to the wedding. Mal gives him a hug
Speaker 2: as he gives Ben his blessing, but still gives the.
Speaker 1: I'm watching you signal when his daughter isn't looking.
Speaker 2: And this is when I realized they didn't pay any
Speaker 2: of the four original cast members from the first one
Speaker 2: that were the bad Parents to show up, so they
Speaker 2: weren't in there. You didn't get Kristin chenow With or
Speaker 2: any of the kind of people there, because obviously.
Speaker 1: They weren't in this movie.
Speaker 2: Ben officially welcomes Haiti to Oordon, but Haiti tells him
Speaker 2: to chill out. The song continues as everyone dances.
Speaker 1: In credits roll, everyone walks through the castle and into oordone,
Speaker 1: but the original villain kids the hang back, holding hands
Speaker 1: to glance at the isle of their birth. Mal ask
Speaker 1: their friends if they miss their parents. They all admit yes.
Speaker 1: Then Mal wonders if their parents miss them. They agree
Speaker 1: they definitely do, because even as kids, they're rotten to
Speaker 1: the core. The group runs over the new bridge last
Speaker 1: one there is a rotten apple. The movie ends with
Speaker 1: the song dig a Little Deeper by Uma and that's
Speaker 1: our movie. Can we do some real reviews? Sabrina? I

Speaker 1: It's like you think Harry Rod and Hermione. I think
Speaker 1: he's just knocked out. That's my Harry Potter. Harry's very
Speaker 1: nasal when he's younger.
Speaker 2: Number three Booster Gold, Blue Beetle. What there's no there's
Speaker 2: no trilogy here. It's it's the Blue and Gold. Blue
Speaker 2: Beetle and Booster Gold are the two.
Speaker 1: There's no so.
Speaker 2: Whatever Jensen found is wrong. Uh, it's Booster Gold and
Speaker 2: Blue Beetle. Are the blue and gold. So my guess
Speaker 2: is they're either talking about the new blue beetle in
Speaker 2: HEIMI ree as they're talking about skeets. But either that's wrong,
Speaker 2: and if they say green lantern, I'm gonna throw my
Speaker 2: computer through the thing. So number three, what did he say?
Speaker 1: It was skeets? Yeah, okay, so I was right with skeets.
Speaker 2: It's Booster Gold has a little thing that flies around
Speaker 2: with them named skeets. But it's really just the blue
Speaker 2: and the gold. It's Booster Gold and blue beetles. So
Speaker 2: three is actually wrong, even.
Speaker 1: Though I got it right.
Speaker 2: Number four, oh, Sabrina. Number four is Larry, Darryl and Jack.
Speaker 2: I believe this is from New Heart for the Bob
Speaker 2: Newhart Show. It's actually New Heart, and it's my name's Larry.
Speaker 2: This is Darryl, my other brother Daryl. It's Larry, Daryl
Speaker 2: and Daryl. That is correct, Okay, I win already.
Speaker 5: I just like how Sabrina doesn't even hesitate and just said.
Speaker 1: That, like, I'm not even gonna bother Ricky Okay. Number
Speaker 1: five Donald Duck Jose Karaoka, and I don't I have
Speaker 1: no idea what that is?
Speaker 3: Mike, Yeah, uh, Pluto.
Speaker 5: It's Panchito pistoles from the Three Caballeros.
Speaker 3: Donald Duck isn't it? Is it a cartoon?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it's a live action Donald Duck.
Speaker 1: Well is it a cartoon?
Speaker 3: I'm trying because I feel like I see the visual
Speaker 3: and also Donald is in the Mexico part on Uh,
Speaker 3: it's a Small World in the Mexico part, So I'm
Speaker 3: assuming that's what this is from.
Speaker 1: Wow, It's a Small World after written by the Sherman brothers.
Speaker 1: Their son is one of my closest friends. Wow. He
Speaker 1: was a producer and writer on Boy Me World. Jeff
Speaker 1: Tump Oh, very cool. Okay, let's go into Sabrina Ceas please.
Speaker 3: Okay. So here's the thing I'm starting to realize with
Speaker 3: more of the current ones that they they pay a
Speaker 3: lot more attention to stuff on set and like like
Speaker 3: nothing's ever out of place, Like they're just really good
Speaker 3: at their jobs versus like I don't know if they
Speaker 3: just didn't care before or what, but I don't see
Speaker 3: a lot of things like out of place anymore.
Speaker 1: I have more question okay that.
Speaker 3: We don't cover, and I think are worth saying. Big question.
Speaker 3: Now you mentioned just recently in one of our latest
Speaker 3: movies that we did with the snowboarding and Cameron cloud
Speaker 3: Nine that she reminded you of Goldie Han when she acts.
Speaker 3: Did that happen for you and descendant hair?
Speaker 1: No, it's the purple hair through me, but but in
Speaker 1: the it did.
Speaker 3: So that was just interesting to me of like, you know,
Speaker 3: her putting a wig on someone fully puts her in
Speaker 3: a different like character, which makes you act probably a
Speaker 3: little bit differently.
Speaker 1: Or what do you think those are wigs? Or do
Speaker 1: you think they dyed their hair purple?
Speaker 3: They're definitely are they?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm never good at spotting wigs. I'm one of
Speaker 1: those guys.
Speaker 3: Like a mile away, I swear, yes, they are definitely wigs.
Speaker 3: And then, uh, the the underwater thing with the gem
Speaker 3: really threw me because I'm like, but she already broke it,
Speaker 3: like once she caught it with her tentacle, she broke it.
Speaker 1: That was it. I agree?
Speaker 3: Are we now?
Speaker 1: You can't get wet?
Speaker 3: It was this our first wedding proposal in a d coom.
Speaker 3: Maybe parents have gotten married, I was thinking, but this
Speaker 3: would be our very first wedding proposal.
Speaker 1: I would assume we've seen weddings happen, like what was
Speaker 1: the bubble one? Were they are there?
Speaker 3: But there was appearance?
Speaker 2: I no, no, but I'm saying, yes, we've seen, but
Speaker 2: we've seen weddings happen, but I don't think we've even
Speaker 2: seen a parent proposed.
Speaker 1: Have we?
Speaker 3: So no, they were already like engaged, like, yeah, was
Speaker 3: gonna happen, right.
Speaker 1: This might be you, right, this might be our first.
Speaker 3: Except for when you basically proposed to your your girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in President's daughter. He wasn't asking, he was
Speaker 1: just you know, trying to get a little nookie.
Speaker 3: That was I felt like he was definitely trying to
Speaker 3: get in there. He's like, yeah, I want to be
Speaker 3: married to the President's Yeah, well right now.
Speaker 1: We're both sixteen, it's time.
Speaker 3: And then one of the big ones too again was
Speaker 3: the old Hag. I was like, they didn't even like
Speaker 3: address the fact that that would have been Evie's mom.
Speaker 3: I felt like that was a moment that was kind
Speaker 3: of missed. Yep, we did cover this one, but we
Speaker 3: didn't really say much. But why did she stop the
Speaker 3: record player? Why?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 3: Why that was such a grat I mean no, again,
Speaker 3: the night fight was whatever you didn't really you went
Speaker 3: right through and I thought you would say something about
Speaker 3: I was cracking up. And I don't know why. When
Speaker 3: Ben was a lion.
Speaker 1: Oh, when he was the beast, when he was yeah.
Speaker 3: The beast, I don't know why, the facial hair. And
Speaker 3: then even then he only had like a little bit
Speaker 3: of it, like for some reason the facial hair about
Speaker 3: him because I guess, you know, he's just such a
Speaker 3: good looking guy with like clean shape, right yeah, And
Speaker 3: I don't know what. The facial hair just made me
Speaker 3: like it was.
Speaker 1: A little it was a little boy band beast. It
Speaker 1: was a little boy band beast, wasn't it that? Yeah, yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: oh yes.
Speaker 3: And then the fairy Cottage. I didn't this is my
Speaker 3: last one. Again. I just felt like there were moments
Speaker 3: in this movie, most of them were musicals that didn't
Speaker 3: make sense. They spent all this time going to the
Speaker 3: fairy cottage. They walk in and they're like, oh, she's
Speaker 3: not here. Oh, let's really release a charming chad, and
Speaker 3: then all right, we're gone, Like there would be a
Speaker 3: point in it, right, There was just some things that
Speaker 3: just didn't seem to really necessarily be important and didn't
Speaker 3: I don't know I felt like again and we had.
Speaker 3: It's not like we were struggling to get to that
Speaker 3: ninety minute no time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, that's it. Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, now, of course is the time where we have
Speaker 2: to score the film we just watched.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do uh to this and this is going
Speaker 1: to be the top, all right, So yes, one to ten,
Speaker 1: ten being the best. Here's what we got. Our options
Speaker 1: are two.
Speaker 2: Hours, one out of ten, dirty laundry, wardrobes, guys doing flips,
Speaker 2: one out of ten, little garths, which sounds weird.
Speaker 1: One out of ten, happy endings, Let's please not pick
Speaker 1: that one. One out of ten, old hags, voodoo arcades,
Speaker 1: canned corns, one out of ten, portal sneaks, one out
Speaker 1: of ten, outnumbered wolf fights, one out of ten, dumb.
Speaker 3: Sentdants, what's our new name?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: One out of ten.
Speaker 2: Will Brina Frians Frans Norians Frians. Yeah, Will Brina Frans,
Speaker 2: that's a good one too. And I'm also going to
Speaker 2: put in one out of ten.
Speaker 1: Why would you turn off the record player? You pick
Speaker 1: which one you want to do.
Speaker 3: I want to go with will Will Brina Fryan, you
Speaker 3: got it. I want it to become a thing will Brina.
Speaker 2: Fryan's I think I think it's my turn to go
Speaker 2: this time. Okay, Look, I like the Descendants movies.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: It's a fun world. It's a brilliant especially the first one.
Speaker 2: Brilliant idea, the Descendants going to a high school. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I mean you couldn't you couldn't pick a
Speaker 2: better world. Like most trilogies, this one didn't hold up
Speaker 2: to the other two.
Speaker 1: Is it awful?
Speaker 2: No, cast is great. They still light up the screen.
Speaker 2: The story didn't make a whole lot of sense this time.
Speaker 2: It was a little muddled that seemed kind of thrown together.
Speaker 2: It was very long, some of the songs weren't great.
Speaker 2: So this is by far my least favorite of the
Speaker 2: three Descendants. That being said, you kind of look at
Speaker 2: them as a whole. The world is great again. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna keep repeating. Love the cast, the four of them,
Speaker 2: especially rest in Peace Cameron boys.
Speaker 1: He was lit up the screen. All of them did.
Speaker 1: They were wonderful. But this was not a great. Like
Speaker 1: if this was the first Descendants movie that I saw
Speaker 1: and I obviously had no context, I'd be like, what
Speaker 1: the hell's going on? I don't really like this, So.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give this and I'm gonna be generous because
Speaker 2: I do believe the world. You've got Kenny Ortega, who's
Speaker 2: phenomenal's genius and a literal genius. You've got the dance numbers,
Speaker 2: especially the big ones, that are being perfectly choreographed. So
Speaker 2: I think I'm being generous and saying I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: this a hard six point five, a soft seven, and
Speaker 2: I think I'm being very generous for uh Will Brina
Speaker 2: Frien's And that's my that's my that's my rating.
Speaker 1: How about you, what do you got?
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. And again it's like giving
Speaker 3: a nod to the fact that this the first two
Speaker 3: were just so incredible, but again, I think it's hard
Speaker 3: to keep them in the same place. This is now
Speaker 3: the third movie of the same worlds that we've already seen,
Speaker 3: so it's just they're they're going up against a high bar.
Speaker 3: I'm agreeing with you on the actors, the vocal artists,
Speaker 3: the dancers, like they're all wonderful. Yeah, it just was
Speaker 3: kind of like, and again I think not to give
Speaker 3: anything away because I honestly haven't seen any of them,
Speaker 3: but I feel like as we move into four and five.
Speaker 3: I think the fifth one that's about to come out
Speaker 3: soon is like Alice in wonderlandy, so like we're gonna
Speaker 3: get more of like lands kind of what we get
Speaker 3: with zombies, where remember like even with zombies, it felt
Speaker 3: like it was the same conflict, right, And I think
Speaker 3: that's probably what they felt looking back at the third one,
Speaker 3: So they're venturing out. That makes it hard. The third
Speaker 3: one makes it hard. I know how much pressure we
Speaker 3: were on with Cheetah Girls for the third movie to
Speaker 3: be really good, you know what I mean, Like it's
Speaker 3: a lot. But just as you said, the franchise itself,
Speaker 3: the creativity of this is so awesome that I can't
Speaker 3: give it a bad one because it wasn't bad. It
Speaker 3: just wasn't like mind blowing. I remember watching the first
Speaker 3: one going wholely crap like, oh my gosh, this is
Speaker 3: so good. That didn't happen with this third one. But
Speaker 3: I still give it a seven. Will Brina Fryan's Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: but a hard seven. I'm not I'm not okay, I'm
Speaker 3: not I'm push I'm good. Seven is solid seven, will
Speaker 3: Brina will Brina fryans.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you everybody for joining us on this ride.
Speaker 2: That was really I'm curious to see what the next
Speaker 2: two are like if we're just resetting, like I don't
Speaker 2: know if any of the cast is in the next
Speaker 2: so well, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think so I didn't, and I'm curious to know
Speaker 3: because there is a evy looking character, So I don't
Speaker 3: know if it was like replacing, which I don't know
Speaker 3: how you can literally do that. That seems crazy if
Speaker 3: it's a replacement, or if she's like a sister or
Speaker 3: a family member or something. But they're definitely I mean,
Speaker 3: they cast someone who looks so much like her and
Speaker 3: she's where she's read.
Speaker 2: That's what I know about the wait we will find out.
Speaker 2: Our next movie, guys, feels like a weird one. Uh
Speaker 2: weird why either of us know anything about it? It
Speaker 2: is the nineteen ninety nine story about a farmer name
Speaker 2: I'm not making any of this up, Harvey Potter, and
Speaker 2: he's magically growing balloons. Ladies and gentlemen, drop your acid
