Speaker 1: So Sabrina, I never addressed stuff like this, but it
Speaker 1: made me laugh, so I had to. I am a
Speaker 1: person who does not do social media. I don't follow
Speaker 1: like I'm not on social media. I don't like social media.
Speaker 1: I find it to be a bit of a sess pool.
Speaker 1: But occasionally I'll go on my Finsta and I looked
Speaker 1: at the comments for what I said about Double Teamed.
Speaker 2: Oh I knew it.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. So here's the thing I wanted to say,
Speaker 1: because people forget this. This is one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I love doing this podcast with you is because you
Speaker 1: have some nostalgia attached to some of these I have none,
Speaker 1: literally nothing. I cannot watch these as a teen. I
Speaker 1: do not get the feels. I just watch them as movies.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about Double Teamed as a movie, which,
Speaker 1: again absolutely stand by what I said. Not a good movie.
Speaker 1: I will double double Teamed down on that, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Not a good movie. But I get where
Speaker 1: people are coming from because I think of movies that
Speaker 1: I loved as a kid, like Rad BMX Bandits Breakin'.
Speaker 1: These are actually films, right that are hugely important to
Speaker 1: me because they're awesome.
Speaker 2: To me yes.
Speaker 1: But the thing people need to remember without having any
Speaker 1: nostalgia is we are trying to find the gems in
Speaker 1: the d coms, because you also have movies that have
Speaker 1: nostalgia attached but that are great, Like I go back
Speaker 1: to Karate Kid. Yeah, great movie, ton of nostalgia.
Speaker 2: And stand the test of time. Yeah, things that really
Speaker 2: actually are still super I mean not saying that Double Teams,
Speaker 2: not because I think it's actually really amazing what's happening
Speaker 2: in the WNBA right now. So sure messaging is there,
Speaker 2: but yeah, some of the things just especially again, what
Speaker 2: you have to remember is not everyone that's watching or
Speaker 2: looking at our Instagram is actually going back and rewatching
Speaker 2: every single one of the movies like we are, right,
Speaker 2: So we're also kind of comparing the gems to the
Speaker 2: the missing the marks, the exactly the ones that almost
Speaker 2: hit it, or the ones that you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: and we're watching them even side by side other sports
Speaker 2: related movies, you know, girl girl brand movies, you know,
Speaker 2: things like that. It's like we're kind of it's it's
Speaker 2: different for us because we're really diving into every single
Speaker 2: one versus I'm sure the fans are kind of nitpicking
Speaker 2: which ones they feel like watch, like re listening to
Speaker 2: because they were their favorites.
Speaker 1: Exactly. That's what I'm saying. And it's also they have
Speaker 1: to remember I'm almost a fifty year old man who
Speaker 1: has never seen these movies. Yes, so I am just
Speaker 1: watching them as movies. That being said, to all the
Speaker 1: people who who were upset about what I said about
Speaker 1: Double Team, I will say this, that movie sucked.
Speaker 2: You know what I'll say too, though, Have them have
Speaker 2: their kids watch it and see what their kids think, because,
Speaker 2: let me tell you, one of my very good friends,
Speaker 2: very good friends, goes. I'm so excited I'm introducing Zoe
Speaker 2: to the Cheetah Girls todight right. And I didn't get
Speaker 2: the message until later, and I would have said, do
Speaker 2: not do the first movie.
Speaker 1: But you have to start at the first one.
Speaker 2: I know, I know. But the nostalgia that happens instantly
Speaker 2: gets zapped by a little kid who goes and this
Speaker 2: is exactly what little Zozo and I love my Zozo.
Speaker 2: Zozo said about my first movie was, oh mom, it
Speaker 2: looks so old, like how long ago was this? Because
Speaker 2: it's like grainy and it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It's the old time project. No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing, like when you're not all the
Speaker 2: generation and you see these things totally different. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is like a little kid. I was like, ouch, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know that true.
Speaker 1: No. So everybody out there who's following us on this journey,
Speaker 1: I get it. I get that these movies hugely matter
Speaker 1: to you. And it's like, why are you ripping apart
Speaker 1: Double Team? Because I'm just watching as a movie. The
Speaker 1: same way anybody who did not grow up watching Red
Speaker 1: or break In or BMX Banits, they'd watch it and
Speaker 1: they go, this movie sucks, and I'd be like, are
Speaker 1: you kidding? This is the best movie ever. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they do kind of suck,
Speaker 1: but I still like them. You can still like a
Speaker 1: movie that's not Yes, I have no nostalgia attached, is
Speaker 1: all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: If we weren't breaking it down, what the hell would
Speaker 2: this podcast exactly?
Speaker 1: It would just be us going like, Wow, Double Teamed,
Speaker 1: awesome movie.
Speaker 2: Great and their blonde yeah play basketball.
Speaker 1: Year old actors playing twelve year olds and with lines
Speaker 1: like how do you tell them apart? When they were
Speaker 1: clearly different people? Not great to do it, but I knew.
Speaker 2: I knew. That's why I funniest thing I see that
Speaker 2: we started the podcast. I'm like, this one's gonna We're
Speaker 2: gonna get it. We are gonna get those knives thrown.
Speaker 1: From now on. By the way, I'm going to refer
Speaker 1: to that to get to people bashing us for us
Speaker 1: breaking it down a movie as getting brinked, because that
Speaker 1: was the first time it happened to me when I
Speaker 1: did not realize what I was waiting into by going,
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't a great movie, and all it came.
Speaker 2: I know it as safe thing. As you were saying
Speaker 2: every word of it. I was like, oh man, you're
Speaker 2: gonna get it. All the breakers are gonna come for
Speaker 2: Will the brink the brinkheads.
Speaker 1: I am fine with that. By the way, I stand
Speaker 1: by everything I said. Love what you gotta love, but
Speaker 1: understand that not everyone's gonna and my job, literally, my
Speaker 1: job is to break down these movies with my humble opinion,
Speaker 1: which is all that I have, and in my humble opinion,
Speaker 1: which is absolute, one hundred percent correct, Double Team was
Speaker 1: not a good movie. Welcome back to Magical Rewind the
Speaker 1: show that makes you want to grab your friends your
Speaker 1: pgs and your popcorn and go back to a time
Speaker 1: when all the houses are smart. The Wave, Tsunamis and
Speaker 1: the Doubles teamed I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 2: And I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: This week on Magical Rewind, We're leaving the Big d
Speaker 1: City behind and we're traveling in New Mexico via Utah
Speaker 1: to learn some Navajo traditions, or at least Disney's version
Speaker 1: of it. It's two thousand and five's American Western Buffalo Dreams. Now.
Speaker 1: This movie debuted on the channel on March eleven, two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, celebrating its twentieth anniversary. Right now, and
Speaker 1: as I alluded to, the movie is supposed to be
Speaker 1: taking place in New Mexico, but is actually filmed in
Speaker 1: the dcom capital of the USA, Utah, with several scenes
Speaker 1: shot on Antelope Island. Now here's the interesting thing. IMDb
Speaker 1: actually says that this movie, based on its awareness and
Speaker 1: search history, is one of the three least remembered d
Speaker 1: coms of all time. Not sure exactly why that would
Speaker 1: be the case, but at the time of its release,
Speaker 1: it did receive criticism for its portrayal of the Navajo
Speaker 1: people and their culture, which many from within found to
Speaker 1: be offensive and worse than offensive, in my opinion, horribly inaccurate.
Speaker 1: Some examples of mistakes they made, and the first one
Speaker 1: is a big one. The film shows Navajo's interacting with buffalo.
Speaker 1: It's like the title of the movie and basically the
Speaker 1: entire plot, but those animals are not part of their
Speaker 1: culture or mythology, as Navajos are considered nomadic people, not
Speaker 1: plains people, So big whoops. There. There were also issues
Speaker 1: with the portrayal of Navajo ceremonies, language and the use
Speaker 1: of quote unquote Indian names for non Navajo characters, and
Speaker 1: all of this could have been helped by probably having
Speaker 1: more Native American cast and crew on the set, you think,
Speaker 1: But that's really only something that luckily has been adapted
Speaker 1: by Hollywood over the past few years. So this one
Speaker 1: might not be as historically accurate as anyone wanted to be,
Speaker 1: and for many reasons, it is difficult to research in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So yeah, we're going to do our
Speaker 1: best with this one. Our producers still do the deep
Speaker 1: dive and do an amazing job, and we got a
Speaker 1: lot on it, but this was a hard one to do.
Speaker 1: Some research for and so maybe that makes this next
Speaker 1: part very predictable. But Sarena, did you know about Buffalo
Speaker 1: Dreams before we were watching it on our lovely podcast?
Speaker 2: I didn't. I was just excited. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be such a good movie with these
Speaker 2: two actors that I know for sure are in it.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, so excited. That's where it started and
Speaker 2: ended for me.
Speaker 1: I am in the same starting an ending point as
Speaker 1: you hadn't heard of it, knew the cast was good,
Speaker 1: and that was about it. Yeah, all right, let's start
Speaker 1: our journey together with the synopsis. A city boy moves
Speaker 1: to New Mexico and struggles to fit in with the
Speaker 1: local Native American community, But when he befriends a young
Speaker 1: Navajo local and his grandfather, he learns a valuable lesson
Speaker 1: about respect, tradition, and belonging and as always, well not
Speaker 1: as always, but this time thankfully. You can watch Buffalo
Speaker 1: Dreams on Disney Plus. It's available to stream right now.
Speaker 1: So don't fumble this one like you fumbled Scarlett Gruenberg
Speaker 1: back in the fourth grade. That was embarrassing. Sabrino, what
Speaker 1: were your early thoughts, your thoughts together? What did you
Speaker 1: think of Buffalo Dreams?
Speaker 2: Well, I instantly collocked utah, but was excited that we
Speaker 2: were getting to a different part of you.
Speaker 1: Don Yes, we're not in.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I will tell you something that is really funny,
Speaker 2: and I even text message Keeley about it. One of
Speaker 2: the first voices we hear is over the radio, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, atrians in this movie? What I hear it?
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't. There's no way to mistake her
Speaker 2: voice for me. So I instantly am like looking up
Speaker 2: you know, I don't look up anything. I watch it
Speaker 2: just as is, and then I look at the stuff
Speaker 2: that we're given to and also do some other like
Speaker 2: little questions that I have. And I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh. I text used to Kelly, and Keelly's like
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either, Like you guys live together,
Speaker 2: she goes sometimes she lived in LA when I was
Speaker 2: still in school, so maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 1: Okay, she had the cool radio voice too, she did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's I mean, she grew up loving radio in
Speaker 2: New York City, so she'd exactly. I mean, I bet
Speaker 2: you anything if you asked her. She probably definitely tried
Speaker 2: out her own radio voice over and over again in
Speaker 2: her room, like that's how she is. I love it,
Speaker 2: and it worked amazingly in this movie, and it did.
Speaker 2: That was my earliest thought, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: that's what I was doing for the first ten minutes.
Speaker 2: It's texting Keeley, looking it up, doing all that while
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to, you know, like focus in on
Speaker 2: the movie.
Speaker 1: But did you like the movie I was starting.
Speaker 2: I mean from the beginning, I was excited. I love
Speaker 2: getting into this culture, and you know, I'm very like
Speaker 2: I love learning as much as I can about it.
Speaker 2: But you know, there were things where I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's super correct, and being a big
Speaker 2: Yellowstone person. They are they look like they do so
Speaker 2: much research. And again, oh.
Speaker 1: Yellowstone the show, I thought you meant the actual life.
Speaker 2: No Yellowstone the Show, and it's like you can tell
Speaker 2: the difference. And for me, I thought it was a
Speaker 2: little shocking, because I feel like Disney does a really
Speaker 2: good job of looking into things and really making sure
Speaker 2: that they're yeah, you would see one point. But yeah,
Speaker 2: there was a couple things like right from the beginning
Speaker 2: where I was like, ooh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Hm, yeah, well, yeah, for me, Disney is, first of all,
Speaker 1: are very good at bringing cultures that maybe kids won't
Speaker 1: be exposed to too kids around the world. That's something they've
Speaker 1: always been great at. But apparently in this one they
Speaker 1: just didn't do that great a job with the actual research.
Speaker 1: So you want them to bring the actual culture as
Speaker 1: opposed to just the Disney version of the culture.
Speaker 2: And the Buffalo struck out at me really quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it's the point of the whole movie,
Speaker 1: and that turns out I have nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the Navajo tribe at all.
Speaker 2: I was expecting buffalo, but I wasn't expecting the nava
Speaker 2: Ho trick.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: I just really was like, whoa, oh, okay, yeah buffalo.
Speaker 1: So this, to me is also the definition of just
Speaker 1: this movie was was okay. I mean it was. This
Speaker 1: was not an outstanding movie. This was not a terrible movie.
Speaker 1: This was just this is okay. There's certain members of
Speaker 1: the cast that stood out to me that I just
Speaker 1: thought were great. But yes, it's yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is an okay movie. Like I finished it and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, watch the movie. It wasn't like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is There's a couple of times I
Speaker 1: was yelling at the screen, and I heard my wife
Speaker 1: in the other room going like, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm yelling at the screen. And we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. We have a new name popping in as
Speaker 1: director for this week's film. It's David Jackson. David is
Speaker 1: a very seasoned veteran in the business. His first job
Speaker 1: was on the iconic show Miami Vice.
Speaker 3: Ugh.
Speaker 1: I dressed like Don Johnson until I was twelve in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. I did it was the white on
Speaker 1: white or blue on blue with just a T shirt
Speaker 1: unerneath and then rolling up the sleeves of the jacket.
Speaker 1: I looked bad, as the kids would say. Fire. He
Speaker 1: directed other shows like twenty one Jump Street, Great Show,
Speaker 1: Swamp Thing, Great Show, Nash Bridges, One Tree Hill, and
Speaker 1: TV movies like The Jesse Venturer Story, which is just
Speaker 1: about a gruff guy, and his only other dcom Return
Speaker 1: to Halloween Town. He is still working on TV movies
Speaker 1: like The Last Christmas Home, The Cheerleader Murders, and Cup
Speaker 1: of Love. This movie stars Riley McClendon as Josh. Riley
Speaker 1: began his career on shows like Will and Grace, Touched
Speaker 1: by an Angel, and Er, but was also seen in
Speaker 1: movies like Disney's The Kid, Pearl Harbor and another dcom
Speaker 1: Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff The Instant he popped on screen.
Speaker 1: I knew him from a really well known Law and
Speaker 1: Order SVU episode where he plays twins twin boy and girls.
Speaker 1: And he was great and producer Lisa is just writing, Yes,
Speaker 1: and he a twin girl and a twin boy, and
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be twin boys. And they screwed
Speaker 1: up his circumcision as a child, so they cut off
Speaker 1: the remaining part and tried to raise him as a girl.
Speaker 1: It was a crazy story. It's a great SVU I
Speaker 1: forget what I think it might even be called twins,
Speaker 1: but that's sorry off on an SVU tangent. He was
Speaker 1: last on TV a few years back from NCIS Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Two Days of Our Lives. Simon Baker is Thomas Blackhorse.
Speaker 1: Simon born in Vancouver, Canada, has been seeing in movies
Speaker 1: like Smoke Signals, Shanghai, Noon, Now and Forever, and I Robot.
Speaker 1: He also recently hosted a show called Native Planet, where
Speaker 1: he travels around the globe to discover the unique relationship
Speaker 1: Native Americans have with the environment by visiting native communities
Speaker 1: fighting to preserve their surroundings and way of life. Sounds
Speaker 1: like a cool show. And he just jumped off the
Speaker 1: screen to me, this dude is a star. He really did.
Speaker 1: He just was awesome. And then we got my friend
Speaker 1: George Newbern. He is doctor Nick Townsend, Josh's dad. George
Speaker 1: is best known for some classics adventures in babysitting, Father
Speaker 1: of the Bride, Scandal, and one not so classic dcom
Speaker 1: Dad Napped, our favorite no notice. Nobody came after me
Speaker 1: for Bash and Dad Nac. I mean, come on. He's
Speaker 1: been in just about everything and as a prolific voice
Speaker 1: actor as well, most notably as my Man Superman in
Speaker 1: much of the modern DC animated projects. He and I
Speaker 1: have worked together many times. He is as nice as
Speaker 1: you would expect him to be. Jane Sibbett is Blaine
Speaker 1: Towns in Josh's Mom. She is most recognizable from Friends,
Speaker 1: where she played Carol on fifteen episodes of arguably the
Speaker 1: most popular sitcom ever.
Speaker 2: She's only in fifty I know.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? I would always say it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Possible?
Speaker 1: Cheers is in that conversation, Mashes in that conversation, and
Speaker 1: I would also say Seinfeld is in the conversation. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I had to get the other ones in there. She
Speaker 1: also starred in a great show we've talked about before,
Speaker 1: Herman's Head, and appeared on Cheers, Quantum Leap, and The
Speaker 1: Nanny Love That List. Some great veteran actors as the
Speaker 1: parents in this one, and they both killed it too. Which, then,
Speaker 1: speaking of veteran actors, brings us to Graham Green as
Speaker 1: John Blackhorse, a well known Native American character actor. Graham
Speaker 1: was in movies like The Green Mile, Wind River, Dances
Speaker 1: with Wolves, North, Maverick, and Molly's Game. This guy always works.
Speaker 1: He's still working to this day. He is phenomenal and
Speaker 1: we have I'm gonna say friend of the show because
Speaker 1: fellow member of the Cheetah Girls, can you can you
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell me who this is? Please? Adrian Ballone,
Speaker 1: that's right as DJ Domino. What a great name. I
Speaker 1: gotta put that on our list. DJ Domino is just
Speaker 1: one of the cooler names we've had. Adrian was a
Speaker 1: former member of the Girl R and B Group three
Speaker 1: LW as we all know, then was cast as Chanelle
Speaker 1: in The Cheetah Girls franchise. She also appeared on That
Speaker 1: So Raven, the movie Coach Carter, and most recently The
Speaker 1: Masked Singer, which apparently is not what I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought it was just one person in a mask
Speaker 1: singing all the songs, but I guess they switched them up.
Speaker 1: This movie is eight four it people eighty nine minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh one extra shot of Buffalo's walking, and we could
Speaker 1: have hit the target. But hey, it's only one away
Speaker 1: and it's on the right side of the pendulum, so
Speaker 1: we'll give it a big thumbs up anyway. Marjorie schwartz
Speaker 1: Nielsen wrote the movie. She wrote the nineteen ninety one
Speaker 1: film The Butcher's Wife starring Demi Moore and Jeff Daniels.
Speaker 1: Then Buffalo Dreams, and that was it, So not a
Speaker 1: ton of the resume there, adding to the mystique that
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Dreams. Okay, why don't we jump off this
Speaker 1: cliff into the river. It's time to Buffalo dream. The
Speaker 1: movie starts on the open road. Teenage Josh Townsend is
Speaker 1: sleeping on a long drive, passing stampeding Buffalo, finally awoken
Speaker 1: by a passing horn. He's with his mom and dad,
Speaker 1: Doctor Nick and Blaine and checks his flip phone. I
Speaker 1: love them. They're moving somewhere that's even beyond cell service.
Speaker 1: They do get a local radio station, however, and as
Speaker 1: Sabrina was saying, there's breaking news, it's her friend on
Speaker 1: the radio. There are seven newborn calves on the Deneta
Speaker 1: Buffalo Preserves. I'm also apologizing to everybody for the undoubted
Speaker 1: butchering of the Navajo words that I'm going to be saying.
Speaker 1: I truly apologize. I just don't know how they're pronounced right,
Speaker 1: and I don't have the movie in front of me
Speaker 1: right now. Josh can't believe this is where he lives.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: It's New Mexico. It's Utah, It's Utah. The family finally
Speaker 1: makes a stop at a Native American trading post and
Speaker 1: are greeted by a local, John Blackhorse, whose granddaughter signs
Speaker 1: there goes the neighborhood. Inside the posts, they have a
Speaker 1: lot of different jerky, including rabbit jerky, which actually sounds
Speaker 1: really good. The clerk, Abuela Rose, welcomes the family to
Speaker 1: town and forces them to buy fry bread and beef jerkey.
Speaker 1: She also offers the batteries, but they draw the line no, thanks,
Speaker 1: we don't need them. They're back on the road. They
Speaker 1: arrive at their big, beautiful home and Sabrina where you
Speaker 1: jealous like I was, because the land and the mountains
Speaker 1: and that house and it was just stunning.
Speaker 2: It looks greatning I love to one of the first
Speaker 2: shots of his mom and dad just sitting there enjoying
Speaker 2: the sunset.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely, because when you've got that sunset, you don't
Speaker 1: need Instagram. You can just sit.
Speaker 2: There and enjoy the quiet, enjoy just yeah, the fresh air.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, believe it or not, the world is much better
Speaker 1: than Instagram. So don't take the pictures. People go actually
Speaker 1: look at the scenery. Josh then rushes in to see
Speaker 1: a surprise. It's a beat up old bike in helmet.
Speaker 1: They buy this beautiful home somewhere. They can't get the
Speaker 1: kid a new bike, but anyway, he knows it's quote
Speaker 1: unquote weak, but he's also cool about it. He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's wheels. His last bike was stolen, and Nick thought
Speaker 1: since they relocated because of his new science job, it
Speaker 1: was a good present. Oh, doctor, Nick, just get the
Speaker 1: kid a real bike. Josh is quick to take the
Speaker 1: bike out for a spin. Pretending to be in a
Speaker 1: big televised race, announcing his every move. In the distance,
Speaker 1: he sees some workers and he speeds up. As he
Speaker 1: gets closer, he comes to screeching halt, realizing they're moving
Speaker 1: a giant plate of glass, something only happens in the movies.
Speaker 1: He avoids the collision, but after a second, the plate
Speaker 1: just shatters into a million pieces? Did you jump when
Speaker 1: this happened?
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna go straight through it. I
Speaker 2: did not, and that it's gonna like hold it, and
Speaker 2: he did, And then I was like, how would that
Speaker 2: just shatter.
Speaker 1: Out of I think they were trying to show that
Speaker 1: the guy dropped it maybe, but it was. It was
Speaker 1: shot in a close up, so it was strange. But
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he's gonna go through a plate
Speaker 1: glass window. Josh's killed. Rolled credits.
Speaker 2: That was a quick movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that did not happen. So Josh rides off, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: that wasn't my vault. Later that night, Josh's parents are
Speaker 1: sitting on the new porch watching just an amazing sunset.
Speaker 1: Again very jealous. It just looked phenomenal. Then a thunderstorm began, oh,
Speaker 1: which I oh man it's my favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 1: Love a thunder and lightning storm and it's my favorite
Speaker 1: thing in the world. But then the power goes out.
Speaker 1: None of their flashlights work. They need batteries. Ah the
Speaker 1: trading post. Now we're in a new house. It's the
Speaker 1: local man that we saw at a trading post, John
Speaker 1: black Horse. He and his wife a Buela Rose, are
Speaker 1: just waking up giving blessings in Navajo to the land
Speaker 1: around them. Meanwhile, Josh is looking through a telescope outside
Speaker 1: is a new room and sees a blonde kid dancing
Speaker 1: in the field. He bikes out to learn more, but
Speaker 1: is stopped by a car. He bike's just right in
Speaker 1: front of this truck as the truck's driving by the street.
Speaker 2: She died, this kid.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ride ride my crap bike right in
Speaker 1: front of this speeding truck. And it turns out that
Speaker 1: the car is driven by a Navajo boy, Thomas black
Speaker 1: Horse and his little sister Scout, who was the person
Speaker 1: we saw using sign language at the trading post with
Speaker 1: a grandpa. Thomas alerts Josh there's no riding on the trails,
Speaker 1: no dirt heads aka BMX bikers allowed. I love that
Speaker 1: dirt head. Everybody's got an accent, like everybody's got a nickname.
Speaker 1: As things get tense, the dancing blond boy Moon scurries
Speaker 1: over and calms the situation by introducing everybody. Thomas doesn't
Speaker 1: seem interested in getting no Josh, but then he joined
Speaker 1: Moon in singing lean on Me, luring a lost buffalo
Speaker 1: into the truck. The team of Thomas, Moon, and Scout
Speaker 1: drive off with their new catch, leaving Josh in the dust.
Speaker 1: And I loved them all sitting there and softly singing
Speaker 1: to get that cute little buffalo. I'm sorry. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. It was weird at first, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I kind of love this.
Speaker 2: I cannot believe you can't handle a musical, but you
Speaker 2: can handle well.
Speaker 1: You don't want to know why, because it was really singing.
Speaker 2: They're singing to buffalo.
Speaker 1: But it's.
Speaker 2: Okay to you.
Speaker 1: If they all have perfect harmony singing a song where
Speaker 1: it was like, let's sing about the buffalo come and
Speaker 1: they're all in a dance, then I would have hated it.
Speaker 2: And you just know, I'm like, oh no, please no,
Speaker 2: and I just I'm like, damn it, this is gonna
Speaker 2: happen over and over again in this movie. I can
Speaker 2: tell this is gonna be a freakod situation. Went out
Speaker 2: to all these people.
Speaker 1: Seems I loved it anyway.
Speaker 2: Later I braced myself.
Speaker 1: You you just named it, I said, the paget on me,
Speaker 1: Sabrina when you need the Buffalo.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not well.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Later, Josh and his dad are driving
Speaker 1: to the lab. It appears Josh got a summer job
Speaker 1: at his dad's work, and I was trying to remember,
Speaker 1: is this the first d com we've seen with no school?
Speaker 2: No, no where?
Speaker 1: Did where? What other decom have we seen where there's
Speaker 1: no school?
Speaker 2: Camp Rock is over the Okay, that's the summer here
Speaker 2: writes school but they are learning music.
Speaker 1: Right, it is still it's a school kind of environment,
Speaker 1: but it's not really school. That's a good call. Zombies,
Speaker 1: there's a school, Cheetah girls, there's a school.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh the Orphanage one, we're being told.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Orphanage was one where the guy the
Speaker 2: remember the kid had what's the inventions? He was flying?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, yes, with Andrew Barbara and Juliel. Yes, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: that one. You're right, no school in that one where
Speaker 1: you thought you thought there was actually ways to launch
Speaker 1: newspapers in the eighties and we just lost the technology. Yes,
Speaker 1: I remember that. Okay, we'll figure out what that is.
Speaker 1: But anyway said the same one, Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2: It starts the inventor kid made that yep, awesome thing
Speaker 2: that I just can't believe it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're right. There have been a couple the
Speaker 1: local radio stations back on, and we see DJ Domino
Speaker 1: played by again fellow cheated Girl, and she's interviewing a veterinarian.
Speaker 1: A caller is mad that a buffalo charged your truck,
Speaker 1: but Josh stops listening when he sees Thomas Blackhorse leaving
Speaker 1: the Trading Boast and being bullied by some white kids
Speaker 1: on bikes with a bunch of real dirt heads. Josh
Speaker 1: eventually arrives at his dad's new work, the new Mexico
Speaker 1: Astrophysics Research Center. A co worker, Virgil, gives Josh's ID
Speaker 1: badge and shows him around. Josh feels like a real dork,
Speaker 1: especially when he gets to his office, which is a
Speaker 1: tiny little copying room, and that's going to be his
Speaker 1: job all summer, is just making endless copies. Yikes. Back
Speaker 1: at the trading post, Blaine is now voluntarily buying batteries.
Speaker 1: The clerk says the power always comes back on and
Speaker 1: offers her a handful of dried corn products. Blaine notices
Speaker 1: a flyer asking for volunteers to protect the buffalo. Then
Speaker 1: the little girl from the truck Scout black Horse appears.
Speaker 1: She works there since the clerk, A Buela Rose, is
Speaker 1: her grandma. A Buaila Rose admits they could use Josh's
Speaker 1: help with the buffalo, and he'd like that way more
Speaker 1: than working at the lab. Who wouldn't outside all day
Speaker 1: with animals? Hell, yes, I will take that. Speaking of Josh,
Speaker 1: he's starting to get so bored in the copy room,
Speaker 1: he starts xerox in his face. Sabrina, have you ever
Speaker 1: xerox any part of you before?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I just say any part of you?
Speaker 2: I mean gesh.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes people hop up and they do their butt.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, have you ever xeroxed any part of
Speaker 1: you before?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I honestly in my Sabrina sees my parents because
Speaker 2: they worked out the house. They are real estate agents,
Speaker 2: so they had all their equipment and I put my
Speaker 2: face your hands, I prop my feet up. I'd put
Speaker 2: my cat up there with her paws. I mean, okay,
Speaker 2: that was something my dad would and my dad reacted
Speaker 2: exactly this way. You are wasting so much ink. Please stop, Sabrina,
Speaker 2: Like I would try to hide them, and it's just
Speaker 2: always like, Sabrina, stop.
Speaker 1: You see the say I like it. That's why I
Speaker 1: asked you said several body parts there. There you go.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to say face. We now find ourselves
Speaker 1: back in the radio station. Domino has new guests, Kyle
Speaker 1: and his dumb friends, the dirt Heads, who are harassing Thomas.
Speaker 1: By the way, weakest gang in the history of the
Speaker 1: Decons I know. And I seriously just the week they're like,
Speaker 1: he's their gangs and the bad guys.
Speaker 2: Like about the three of them were just this is.
Speaker 1: Not Johnny and the Cobra Kai by any stretch from
Speaker 1: Karate Kid. Yeah, just lame, yes, just lame. Anyway, The
Speaker 1: dirt Heads that were harassing Thomas at the trading Post
Speaker 1: are these guys, and they're looking for people to join
Speaker 1: them BMX Bike in Friday at the Red Rocks they're
Speaker 1: doing on their mountain biking stuff. So we're now back
Speaker 1: in the fields Thomas and his grandpa, John Blackhorse, are
Speaker 1: walking to a sweat lodge and talking about the young
Speaker 1: man's future plans. They find an herb that can heal,
Speaker 1: but Thomas reminds his grandpa it still can't get Scout's
Speaker 1: voice back. John Blackhorse tells his grandson that hurting the
Speaker 1: buffalo is his job and it's very helpful for the
Speaker 1: community and a great start in life. Back at the Townsends,
Speaker 1: Blaine is taking pictures for her upcoming cookbook while Josh
Speaker 1: talks about how much he hates his new job, and
Speaker 1: Doctor Nick reveals that his son accidentally included his copied
Speaker 1: face in a report, and he's certainly not thrilled about it.
Speaker 1: Better than well the parts of Sabrina. Blaine mentions the
Speaker 1: Navajo clerk at the trading post needing some buffalo help,
Speaker 1: but Josh says he met Thomas and that guy was
Speaker 1: a real jerk. But his mom says if he helps
Speaker 1: with the herd, he can ride his bike there, and
Speaker 1: so it's a deal, and they're setting up that he
Speaker 1: obviously just loves to be on his bike. He rides
Speaker 1: all the way to the Buffalo Preserve and is coldly
Speaker 1: greeted by Thomas Scout moon. Moon offers him some gloves,
Speaker 1: while Thomas only offers him some attitude. After some false
Speaker 1: start hazing, he jumps into the truck and is now
Speaker 1: part of the crew. They accept him right away. It
Speaker 1: was kind of nice. And again this entire time, Simon Baker,
Speaker 1: to me, was just stealing every scene he was in.
Speaker 1: He's a very good actor. Yes, he quickly learns about
Speaker 1: wiring fences to block in the buffaloes because he learns
Speaker 1: that the buffaloes can be aggressive if they get into town.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a buffalo up close and personal?
Speaker 2: One of the things I'm going to talk about with
Speaker 2: Sabrina Seas. My friend got married to a guy who
Speaker 2: family was a bison ranchers, So she got married on
Speaker 2: a buffalo farm and I experienced lots of buffalo different
Speaker 2: kinds of meats that I mean, and I came back
Speaker 2: like a giant swollen sausage because it had so much salt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: But everything they were talking about, like so many of
Speaker 2: the scenes with the buffer, well, I was nervous because
Speaker 2: of how much they were like, you cannot, like, you
Speaker 2: cannot go out there and they are very aggressive, you have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm glad the way you told that
Speaker 1: story though, because I thought you were gonna say the
Speaker 1: way you started it. My friend married a buffalo, and
Speaker 1: that would have been a much different this whole family.
Speaker 2: I mean, she lived in a house. I went to
Speaker 2: visit her in Arizona, the house that they had together,
Speaker 2: and her entire dining room was filled with buffalo heads
Speaker 2: all over the wall of a whole dining room room,
Speaker 2: like like a.
Speaker 1: Whole wall dining room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like, you know, part of it
Speaker 2: is they do hunt them, so then they use they
Speaker 2: try to you know, use all of them and whatever.
Speaker 2: But oh, it was very strange to me. I was like, who,
Speaker 2: I never thought about a buffalo in any sense.
Speaker 1: Before, and that, yeah, can I have a whole buffalo headroom?
Speaker 1: Very okay? Well, Josh stops to take a pee break
Speaker 1: and then he comes face to face with a handful
Speaker 1: of huge buffalo, which we've just learned shouldn't happen. He
Speaker 1: slowly passes them, trying to sing, lean on me Sabrina's
Speaker 1: face to calm them, and of course, if that's not enough,
Speaker 1: as soon as he's clear, he stumbles right into Kyle
Speaker 1: and his douche biker friends, laughing at his singing. Josh
Speaker 1: tells them they aren't supposed to be riding on the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Trail, but Kyle gives very little shit. He wants
Speaker 1: to get some big air over at the moon Rocks
Speaker 1: or moon Rocks, which I guess are a thing which
Speaker 1: have some quote really sick descents unquote as tough as
Speaker 1: Josh was acting, the idea of moon rocks for big
Speaker 1: air and some really sick descents apparently does excite him,
Speaker 1: and right as he's daydreaming about the bike trail, his
Speaker 1: hurting crew appears, creating a bit of a standoff between
Speaker 1: the douches and the cool people. The bikers glide off,
Speaker 1: no care for the trail rules again because they're ass faces.
Speaker 2: I love how quickly though Josh has gotten on the
Speaker 2: side of you know, his crew, He really already is
Speaker 2: are not supposed to be Well, yes, he's thinking, oh wow,
Speaker 2: that does sound fun, but he is. He's standing up
Speaker 2: to these guys who have already kind of like muscled
Speaker 2: back at him. Yeah, and he's like, you're not supposed
Speaker 2: to be here, this isn't your land, and yeah for them,
Speaker 2: I gave him props.
Speaker 1: I like that, but he also still wants to be
Speaker 1: a dirt which is what I'm calling them.
Speaker 2: Because he obviously really loves biking and that's obviously happened her.
Speaker 1: Home terrible, I know. Later on, after hard day's work,
Speaker 1: the herd crew are ready to leave as a thunderstorm approaches.
Speaker 1: Oh so many thunderstorms. I just I like, I want
Speaker 1: to go to Oklahoma during like thunderstorms.
Speaker 2: Do we think they were like real when they were
Speaker 2: filming them?
Speaker 1: Or two? But Utah? Are they? Are they really? Utah?
Speaker 1: I have no idea what have to do?
Speaker 2: It didn't look bad at all.
Speaker 1: No, some of the buffalo shots didn't. You could tell
Speaker 1: we're super imposed the storms look storms looks great? I agree,
Speaker 1: so yes. With the thunderstorm approaching, Josh still decides to
Speaker 1: ride his bike home, even though Moon strongly suggests joining
Speaker 1: in the car, And boy does he regret that decision
Speaker 1: because on his way home it starts to pour, only
Speaker 1: to finally get home to a hot bath and basically
Speaker 1: fall asleep in it, which I'd like everyone know is
Speaker 1: a major death trap. Now at this point, I wasn't
Speaker 1: yelling at the screen, but I'll get into why I'm
Speaker 1: yelling at the screen. Later the next day, the Herd
Speaker 1: squad is back at it. Moon is talking about how
Speaker 1: this land was given to the Navajo by the Sacred
Speaker 1: Four Mountains, but is reminded he's actually Danish, which I
Speaker 1: love that bart where he's just like Thomas black Horse
Speaker 1: was just like, dude, you're Danish. The guys get to
Speaker 1: clearing the trees, and just when Josh gets super tired,
Speaker 1: he's revitalized by seeing all the buffalo that he's preserving
Speaker 1: and he's starting to get the vibe. Later, Josh is
Speaker 1: at Charlie Horse, which is the local BMX shop, checking
Speaker 1: out their inventory. While he's drooling about a cool new bike,
Speaker 1: he's interrupted by Kyle. He just bought that bike and
Speaker 1: invites Josh to come out and ride with him, And
Speaker 1: that's when we see Scout and her grandma in the
Speaker 1: store listening in. Kyle takes his bike and tells him
Speaker 1: that they'll be at Red Rocks on Friday, and we
Speaker 1: can tell it sounds really cool to Josh. Nearby, Grandma
Speaker 1: says it's time for one of our famous potlucks, and also,
Speaker 1: what the hell were they doing in the bike shop?
Speaker 1: Why are they there? Don't they hate bike shops. They're like,
Speaker 1: it was weird to have them there in the bike shop,
Speaker 1: like they should have been there maybe outside walking bikes.
Speaker 1: It's like, why are they in the bike shop? They
Speaker 1: don't like the bike shop?
Speaker 2: Well, they also this a Bula Rose is like, she's
Speaker 2: like when I was talking about my mom being just
Speaker 2: like a ninja, Like she just always kind of pops
Speaker 2: up the whole time she's there. She's like, Hey, what
Speaker 2: do you do it? No, I'm just making sure I know.
Speaker 1: What you're up to. She does. She knows everything.
Speaker 2: As she knows everything. I guess that's what you have
Speaker 2: to do to be the all knowing.
Speaker 1: You know, you're when you become the grandmother. Eventually you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in ninja Ninja mom, then ninja grandma. You
Speaker 1: know that's gonna happen. I gets So we now are
Speaker 1: cutting to this famous potluck she was talked about, and
Speaker 1: it is packed with Navajo locals. Josh and his parents
Speaker 1: arrived with some dried blue corn cheese ball pick me ups,
Speaker 1: which A say that five times fast. B I'd like
Speaker 1: to try them. Moon introduces himself to doctor Nick, to
Speaker 1: which Nick responds, that's a stellar name. Got it. That's
Speaker 1: a cool dad joke. Do you have a favorite dad joke?
Speaker 2: It's a great dad joke.
Speaker 1: Do you have a good dad joke?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can't think of them off the top
Speaker 2: of my head, though, No either.
Speaker 1: There's some good dad jokes out there.
Speaker 2: One of my and I know you don't go on Instagram,
Speaker 2: but one of my favorite one is these three men
Speaker 2: that are out hunting and they whisper them like you,
Speaker 2: and they all start crapping up. They're trying to keep
Speaker 2: quiet because they're hunting.
Speaker 1: It's okay.
Speaker 2: I could listen to dad jokes all day.
Speaker 3: I was the only dad I do have to give
Speaker 3: you one?
Speaker 1: Please? What do you got?
Speaker 3: Where do Leprekns live? Where Leprokondos.
Speaker 1: Have a great day?
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: That's so good. I love that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got what I got one? Hey Will, I'm
Speaker 2: scared for this calendar? Why because their days are numbered?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: I need to have.
Speaker 1: I need to have some of my hip pockets. Repeating
Speaker 1: her own punchline, Ah, I love those. That night, we
Speaker 1: are still at the party. Josh, Moon, Scout and Thomas
Speaker 1: are looking at the stars. Thomas explains that his grandma
Speaker 1: wants him to eat, sleep, and breathe Navajo, but it's
Speaker 1: just not for him. Josh can relate to that. That's
Speaker 1: how his dad is with science, and I liked the
Speaker 1: kind of them bonding over their dads, but two sides
Speaker 1: of the same coin. I thought it was very cool
Speaker 1: nearby John black Horse and doctor nick Or chatting. This
Speaker 1: is exactly what I was talking about, also finding common ground.
Speaker 1: They're both trying to save the universe and their surroundings,
Speaker 1: just in different ways, and both get their stories from
Speaker 1: the sky. Inside the house, Josh walks in on Scout
Speaker 1: listening to music and looking longingly at a picture in
Speaker 1: a frame, and it's definitely becoming another dcom go to
Speaker 1: for letting us know that someone is dead or gone.
Speaker 1: Thomas lets Josh know that Scout can hear perfectly, she
Speaker 1: just doesn't talk, and she hasn't always been that way.
Speaker 1: Josh thanks him for the day and leaves with his parents.
Speaker 1: One thing I really liked about this character was he
Speaker 1: was very polite, and while cleaning up, John Blackhorse suggests
Speaker 1: that Thomas take out Josh to show him a good time.
Speaker 1: So the next day, Thomas takes his new friend and
Speaker 1: the rest of the Buffalo gang to a secret waterfall
Speaker 1: and riverspot called Shining Steps, and oh god, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to go there. He makes Josh
Speaker 1: wear secrecy about it, though he can't tell anybody. They
Speaker 1: each take turns jumping in from a tall cliff while
Speaker 1: a really annoying flute plays in the background. A lot
Speaker 1: of the music was very Asian. Karate kid was what
Speaker 1: this music was. I thought it was off put.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It didn't fit to me.
Speaker 2: No, And it's one of those things where you feel
Speaker 2: like they're trying to push push stuff in.
Speaker 1: Like spirituality, yes, yes, instead of letting it flow. Even
Speaker 1: though Josh is scared, he eventually does jump in the
Speaker 1: water with a very badly imposed shot where they it
Speaker 1: looked like it was a reasonable ten foot jump, but
Speaker 1: when they super imposed it made him look like he
Speaker 1: jumped off this giant fifty foot cliff. Yeah, it was strange.
Speaker 2: I don't think it looked good.
Speaker 1: No, that didn't didn't look good at all. Moon explains
Speaker 1: this river is where Navajo men would learn how to
Speaker 1: hunt and become a man. Thomas then asks why he's
Speaker 1: so interested in the Navajo culture, and Moon says it's
Speaker 1: because they had to survive hardships to be where they
Speaker 1: are today, and he believes in everything they preach. He
Speaker 1: especially someday wants to have a vision on the other
Speaker 1: end of the spectrum, though Thomas doesn't believe in any
Speaker 1: of it. He thinks they make it up as they go.
Speaker 1: But even with this in mind, he hates Kyle for
Speaker 1: being so anti Navajo, which makes sense. Kyle's back at home,
Speaker 1: Josh finds his dad is playing acoustic guitar, so note
Speaker 1: to self, never invite him to a party. He tells
Speaker 1: his parents about his day and gets shut down when
Speaker 1: he mentions getting a new bike. Now it's Friday, the
Speaker 1: day of the Red Rocks bike ride, and Josh is
Speaker 1: waiting at the bus stop with his bike, and then
Speaker 1: a boil A Rose and John Blackhorse pull up to
Speaker 1: offer him a ride. He accepts, and they drop him
Speaker 1: off with Kyle and his goon's already biking. And then
Speaker 1: I love this so much. Josh makes sure this isn't
Speaker 1: a restricted area or sacred land. They assure him it's not,
Speaker 1: but still worn and to be careful and safe, and
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I thought it was such
Speaker 1: an endearing moment and of him just double checking, like,
Speaker 1: am I okay to ride here? Is it sacred? Is it?
Speaker 1: And it was just little moments like that I really
Speaker 1: liked in this film.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I love that in a kid like you
Speaker 2: hope your kids like that. I don't. To me, that
Speaker 2: made me not that irritated with him wanting to It
Speaker 2: wasn't you know, wanting him to be with the quote
Speaker 2: unquote cool kids right because they knew it was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, he just really likes to bike so
Speaker 2: that someone else wants to ride. No, you know, these
Speaker 2: are the people he can ride with. But he's still
Speaker 2: really already embracing this culture and their their boundaries and
Speaker 2: what they you know, what they believe. Really, I was like, oh, ye,
Speaker 2: good dude, Josh, You're cute.
Speaker 1: Josh is a good dude. The boys all line up
Speaker 1: ready for a big race, and Kyle warns Josh his
Speaker 1: bike might not be made for this type of train,
Speaker 1: but Josh sees no issues. He's ready, and then go
Speaker 1: the bike speed off, bouncing off rocks, pushing through the
Speaker 1: off road. Kyle was right, this is tough. It looks
Speaker 1: very dangerous. We see Kyle then Josh complete some pretty
Speaker 1: cool jumps as promised. Everything is going great until Josh
Speaker 1: runs right into a giant concrete slab for some reason
Speaker 1: and goes flying over his handlebars. It is quite a
Speaker 1: spill for his body double. Instead of popping in the
Speaker 1: check on him, Kyle just yells aw, that's gotta hurt
Speaker 1: and passes him. After the race, one of the goons
Speaker 1: it invites Josh to go swimming, but Kyle says there're
Speaker 1: too many locals at the public pool. Oh. I knew
Speaker 1: where this is going right away. You can tell that
Speaker 1: Josh wants to fit in more, especially when he hears
Speaker 1: another kid making fun of his bike, so he quickly
Speaker 1: blurts out that he knows somewhere they can all go swimming.
Speaker 1: Oh oh Josh, And just like that. The day after,
Speaker 1: he leads them to Thomas's secret Navajo spot the way
Speaker 1: to keep a secret for twenty four hours bro not
Speaker 1: even a place he promised he would never share. Kyle
Speaker 1: as they're driving their crashes into a small tree, knocking
Speaker 1: it down before running to the sacred lake and throwing
Speaker 1: a soda can into it. Josh's really messed up. Eventually,
Speaker 1: the boys jump in and when Josh shows some trepidation,
Speaker 1: another goon pushes him over the cliff, fully clothed. This
Speaker 1: is after they had like Thomas black Horse. They're in
Speaker 1: the water with Scout and he's like, you don't have
Speaker 1: to jump if you don't want it. It's just they're
Speaker 1: showing the good guys the bad guys. Clearly, Josh is
Speaker 1: obviously furious. This could have seriously injured him, but no
Speaker 1: one cares. We're back in town now and a buffalo
Speaker 1: is standing in the middle of the street blocking traffic.
Speaker 1: And that same woman, buffalo Buffalo Karen. We're gonna call
Speaker 1: her from now on, so Buffalo Karen is calling it.
Speaker 1: The woman from the radio show earlier is stress sitting
Speaker 1: in her car. Thomas arrives and wrangles the animal away
Speaker 1: by once again singing, lean on Me, I love it.
Speaker 1: The kid is very good at his job. Back at
Speaker 1: the waterfall, Kyle is spray painting his name on the
Speaker 1: rocks and Josh can't believe it.
Speaker 2: This isn't his.
Speaker 1: Landon's made fun of him for caring about the Navajo
Speaker 1: and go right back to tagging. Josh wants to leave asap,
Speaker 1: but the posse isn't done cause damage. And I was
Speaker 1: livid when I was watching this time.
Speaker 2: Is this when you were screaming at no, this isn't it?
Speaker 2: I was pissed. I can't stand when I see this
Speaker 2: out and about, especially on any kind of older building,
Speaker 2: you know, stuff like there's some places where it was
Speaker 2: either alloud or whatever, and they're beautiful pieces of art,
Speaker 2: you know, but when it's just something that you just
Speaker 2: get a can of hate and just spray on.
Speaker 1: And I remember I had so. I was in hiking
Speaker 1: a hiking club in high school and our teacher, mister
Speaker 1: la Chance was the cool uh English teacher. We loved him,
Speaker 1: and he would he was very aware of wherever we were.
Speaker 1: And I remember one time we're walking up we're hiking
Speaker 1: up Mount Washington and somebody's walking by and talking loudly
Speaker 1: and he just turns his head and goes, dude, you're
Speaker 1: infringing on my right to enjoy the mountain. And I
Speaker 1: remember his voice in my head as I watch it
Speaker 1: is like, dude, you're infringing on other people's rights you
Speaker 1: enjoy the shining steps. So yet me The next morning,
Speaker 1: Josh says he's sick and missus work, but you can
Speaker 1: tell he just feels guilty and is avoiding everything. Out
Speaker 1: back on the reservation, the Buffalo Gang decide that once
Speaker 1: they're finished with the day's work, they're going to go
Speaker 1: swimming at Shining Steps, and you know what's coming next.
Speaker 1: As soon as they arrive, they see all the vandalism
Speaker 1: in the trash. Thomas and Scout immediately know it was
Speaker 1: Josh and all those goons, but Moon, of course, being Moon,
Speaker 1: isn't so sure. We're now back at Josh's house. He's
Speaker 1: working on his damage bike when his parents walk downstairs
Speaker 1: with Thomas and John black Horse. They know he brought
Speaker 1: his friends to Shining Steps, and he quickly breaks down.
Speaker 1: He says he was there, but he didn't tag or litter.
Speaker 1: He says he tried to stop them, which is kind
Speaker 1: of a lie. He really just softly warned them. He
Speaker 1: for sure could have done a lot more, but he didn't.
Speaker 1: And Josh just keeps repeating that he tried to stop them,
Speaker 1: which again isn't the issue. He's completely ignoring the main problem,
Speaker 1: which is that he brought them there in the first place.
Speaker 1: Doctor Nick assures the guests that this will be taken
Speaker 1: care of and apologizes. John black Horse says that nature
Speaker 1: now needs to be balanced by the boys living in
Speaker 1: ho show, which seems very serious to Thomas. We learn
Speaker 1: what a hot show is when Josh and Thomas packed
Speaker 1: their bags very early in the morning. They're going into
Speaker 1: the willness alone to discover their true nature. The time
Speaker 1: spent alone will help them find themselves. They need to
Speaker 1: embrace the dreams they have and accept the animals who
Speaker 1: approach them. Have you ever done anything like this a
Speaker 1: spiritual kind of journey or quest?
Speaker 2: No? And I just needed I was like, hold on, okay,
Speaker 2: Josh Thomas could if you told me he was above
Speaker 2: the age of eighteen, I'd believe you. He seems like
Speaker 2: an older character, probably just because he seems in general
Speaker 2: as an actual person, not an actor, like an old soul.
Speaker 2: Josh is like a little kid. Okay, we're sending him
Speaker 2: where now with no one, and then he's not even
Speaker 2: gonna be sleeping near Thomas, who looks like he knows
Speaker 2: his way around. We're just gonna let him go where now. No, Nope, nope,
Speaker 2: but no.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be learned. He even says, you need
Speaker 1: each other so they're supposed to be together the whole time.
Speaker 1: And is he a little kid or has he just
Speaker 1: been like a little kid.
Speaker 2: I don't care. He's I don't care what it is.
Speaker 2: He's too young to be doing this on his own.
Speaker 1: I was like, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this made my heart just go. This
Speaker 2: is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I'd love to do this. So I am not outdoorsy.
Speaker 1: I was when I was a kid. I used to
Speaker 1: camp and ride bikes and do all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: but I've lost it as an adult. I wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: some kind of reconnection with nature. I think that would
Speaker 1: be interesting.
Speaker 2: Take me for my birthday once to a camping trip,
Speaker 2: and okay, he had all these really cool things, like
Speaker 2: the shower that you hang from the tree and you
Speaker 2: put the big thing of water out on a rock
Speaker 2: for four hours and it yat it up and did
Speaker 2: you like it? Like day one? I was like, okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Then like we were there for three nights and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: I can't have any more eggs and trout, like get
Speaker 2: me on, gim home. This is it. Then, by the way,
Speaker 2: this was not a good birthday.
Speaker 1: When did you break up with him? How long after
Speaker 1: that did you break up of them?
Speaker 2: Probably a few months after. Honestly, it was like, uh man.
Speaker 1: No, okay, I'm sorry, note your self, Sabrina's birthday, no
Speaker 1: eggs and trout.
Speaker 2: I'm like a couple in cocktails. Girl, I'm not like.
Speaker 1: But I yeah, that's why I would like to reconnect it.
Speaker 1: I know Sue's the same way anyway on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah. I oh, don't get me wrong. I
Speaker 1: will be connecting by myself. Even before sunrise, John black
Speaker 1: Horse gets them ready for their journey and warns them
Speaker 1: about possible thunderstorms. He looks through their bags, confiscating most
Speaker 1: of it, including Josh's dim sum. The boys complain they
Speaker 1: need their stuff. He advises them to look after one
Speaker 1: another and drives off. The boys start their walk and
Speaker 1: Josh wonders if a hot show is a vision quest.
Speaker 1: Thomas says, no, Navajos don't do vision quests. It's worth
Speaker 1: noting now that the synopsis on Disney Plus is two
Speaker 1: teenagers are sent on a vision quest by a Navajo elder,
Speaker 1: so that was apparently not They're doing Oh the Boy.
Speaker 1: The boys stop at a river, but Thomas says it
Speaker 1: is a bad campsite because they're animal tracks. He also
Speaker 1: actively tries to ditch Josh, and for good reason. He's
Speaker 1: still mad at Josh for leading Kyle to the sacred area,
Speaker 1: which he should be. This part is also infuriating because
Speaker 1: Josh asked, what was he supposed to do? He couldn't
Speaker 1: stop the goons again, ignoring the fact that he brought
Speaker 1: them there in the first place. That's the problem, Josh,
Speaker 1: not that he couldn't stop them, brought him there when
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have after holding that secret for nine.
Speaker 2: Hours, secret place that no one knows about, and now
Speaker 2: they're going to tell everyone that place is destroyed.
Speaker 1: That's the reason they are now aimlessly walking in the desert.
Speaker 1: Thomas mentions this glaring omission and takes off in a
Speaker 1: different direction. They'll meet back up in the morning. Now separated,
Speaker 1: Kyle gets scared off by a snake, finds a pretty
Speaker 1: feather and eats some wild berries. Where I'm going? Who
Speaker 1: just grabs random berries and eats them? You look, you
Speaker 1: didn't die right away, you idiot.
Speaker 2: Io God that they showed that it was a bad
Speaker 2: idea with.
Speaker 1: His comedy, So yeah, now he's thrown up.
Speaker 2: Just to crash rarity from anywhere. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: I have done it. It's a terrible Oh have.
Speaker 1: You what are you thinking? Oh my god. I was out.
Speaker 2: Literally riding my bike with my friend and we were
Speaker 2: sitting there doing just like hanging out, doing stuff that
Speaker 2: you do out in the like climbing trees and whatever.
Speaker 2: Told you about like my whole little pond that it
Speaker 2: was not a pond, and there was berries, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm hungry, let's try these. And we tried them and
Speaker 2: we both got so sick that whole night. So just eat.
Speaker 1: Random n berries. Nearby, Thomas is skipping rocks and starts
Speaker 1: a fire. Now night has fully fallen and the boys
Speaker 1: are trying to sleep, but they're constantly woken by animal noises,
Speaker 1: which forces them both to grasp their pocket knives in fear.
Speaker 1: And then as Thomas closes his eyes, it happens he
Speaker 1: hears his grandfather and sees a series of stars come
Speaker 1: together into the shape of a staff. He reaches up
Speaker 1: to the sky and pulls a real staff from a constellation,
Speaker 1: totally trippy. Once it's in his hands, we enter a
Speaker 1: CP of flashback. Thomas is now in traditional Navajo war
Speaker 1: garb and joined by his sister. Another Navajo man is
Speaker 1: approaching and yelling he needs to help. Thomas needs to
Speaker 1: herd the buffalo and bring health back to their people.
Speaker 1: Thomas yells out to the stranger, sorry, not my problem.
Speaker 1: The man swears it is his problem, though this land
Speaker 1: is part of him. Then they all turn to dust.
Speaker 1: Thomas and Scout's ashes ride a gust of wind to
Speaker 1: another field, now placed right next to buffalo. Thomas nos
Speaker 1: Scout will be of no help, so he tells the
Speaker 1: buffalo he will never be forgotten. They will help each other,
Speaker 1: and with a turn of the staff, the scene returns
Speaker 1: back to color, revealing hundreds of buffalo in the distance.
Speaker 1: It was very cool. We also see that Thomas is
Speaker 1: actually fast asleep back at his cantslite, and so is Josh.
Speaker 1: But Josh is dreaming about McDonald's, which is what I
Speaker 1: dream about most times, even though the dream changes, and
Speaker 1: now he's on top of a mountain, just chilling when
Speaker 1: a hawk lands next to him and says thanks when
Speaker 1: he feeds him a little bit of the burger. This
Speaker 1: freaks Josh out. He needs to go home, but he
Speaker 1: quickly realizes there's nowhere to go unless he can fly,
Speaker 1: and the bird encourages him to do just that. We
Speaker 1: all have flight inside of us. And I just wanted
Speaker 1: to eat some of those berries and be on these
Speaker 1: drugs because they looked phenomenal. I want to have flying
Speaker 1: dreams where animals are talking to me and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I'll eat random berries that this is
Speaker 1: where it ends up without the vomiting. Yes, the hawk
Speaker 1: tells Josh to pick between a raven, a blue jay,
Speaker 1: a crow, or an eagle as his spirit bird. Josh
Speaker 1: tiptoes to the edge of the mountain and jumps. He
Speaker 1: free falls, but eventually starts flying. Have you ever had
Speaker 1: a flying dream?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Aren't they the best? They're amazing. He is coasting above
Speaker 1: the beautiful New Mexico scenery Utah, eventually landing at a waterfall.
Speaker 1: Back in real life, a thunderstorm has begun, waking both
Speaker 1: boys up. Josh and Thomas yell for each other, meeting
Speaker 1: back up for the emergency, they have to get to
Speaker 1: a cave they spotted on the initial walk. Now shielded
Speaker 1: from the rain and sitting with a fire, Thomas share
Speaker 1: some beef jerky, which if did I get this wrong?
Speaker 1: Josh is like, what is this, Like he'd never seen
Speaker 1: beef jerky before. It was a strange kind of line
Speaker 1: where he's like, it's beef turkey dump, it's a slim gym.
Speaker 1: You've never been to seven eleven, Like what the hell?
Speaker 1: But it was misinterpreted what he was saying. He didn't
Speaker 1: understand It seems like I didn't understand.
Speaker 2: It was like, what is this? What's beef jerky? But however,
Speaker 2: if I had been in that trading post prior and
Speaker 2: she was selling the turkey, like if Jordan, I asked
Speaker 2: Jordan what kind of jerky he has? Because he loves
Speaker 2: when we go up to Big Beer, they places with
Speaker 2: all like Alixander, and I don't want any part of
Speaker 2: any of that. I will do chicken, and I will
Speaker 2: do beef, and there that.
Speaker 1: Is all rabbit.
Speaker 2: I do. Just make sure if it's in like a
Speaker 2: weirder looking bag, what kind is it?
Speaker 1: What did you what did you jerky? Jordan? What is
Speaker 1: this exactly? Explain?
Speaker 2: I think he's tried turtle. He's definitely tried salmon.
Speaker 1: Alligator's good, turtle's good.
Speaker 2: I think in Alaska we had something was that saying
Speaker 2: maybe there was a a lot of really like like
Speaker 2: different kind of fishy ones.
Speaker 1: I eat anything once. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, after the trading post, I think it's fair to
Speaker 2: kind of be like, what is it?
Speaker 1: I know, but I think, yeah, it was like what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Their shield it from the rain. Thomas Sherison beef jerky,
Speaker 1: and Josh shares his dream. He decided he was an eagle,
Speaker 1: while Thomas says he dreamt he was a hunter and
Speaker 1: it all felt very real. Thomas said he's tired of
Speaker 1: being in Navaja. He wants to live in Brooklyn or Graceland,
Speaker 1: but can't leave Scout or his grandparents. His parents left
Speaker 1: for Seattle and died in a car crash. This is
Speaker 1: where we find out that they died in a car crash,
Speaker 1: and that's when young Scouts stopped talking. The next morning,
Speaker 1: Josh's back home taking a shower. This is where I
Speaker 1: started screaming at the TV. How many times did we
Speaker 1: need to see this young kid in either a shower
Speaker 1: or a bathtub?
Speaker 2: It was one of my first seas. This is the
Speaker 2: first time we have I feel.
Speaker 1: Like seen they keep cutting to this kid in shower.
Speaker 1: I was by the fourth one. I was like, why
Speaker 1: do we need to keep seeing the get in a shower?
Speaker 1: It was off.
Speaker 2: Putting, Yes, it was. It absolutely was, especially like what
Speaker 2: I mean, he is kind of too old to be
Speaker 2: taking baths? Right, No, I know, but that age range,
Speaker 2: I know, I get it. It's that age range or
Speaker 2: not there. It was weird.
Speaker 1: It was weird. There must have been four or five
Speaker 1: times they showed this kid in either a shower about brain?
Speaker 2: Did ask where else could he be like us?
Speaker 1: Anywhere else? How about you don't need it? What do
Speaker 1: you need to see? You learned nothing?
Speaker 2: The only time that it was supportive that made a
Speaker 2: lot of sense was we haven't gotten there. But when
Speaker 2: he trains.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so show him one time. Can we have
Speaker 1: a one time to get in a bathtub scene? Please?
Speaker 2: I mean, my god, it was chanel weird.
Speaker 1: It was off putting. It really really right? Yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So Josh back on his bike when he runs into
Speaker 1: Kyle and his goons. They're trying to find the secret
Speaker 1: waterfall again and ask Josh for directions. Apparently they don't
Speaker 1: know how to get there. Josh demands they go clean up
Speaker 1: the mess they made, but the jerks just want to swim.
Speaker 1: Josh says he can't give them the location, and so
Speaker 1: Kyle challenges him to a bike grace and oh, we're
Speaker 1: getting Disney here. If Kyle wins, they get to ride
Speaker 1: wherever they want and the tribe has to back off.
Speaker 1: If Josh wins, Kyle and his goons get lost forever.
Speaker 1: This seems like a bet Josh shouldn't be making in
Speaker 1: the name of the Navajo people. It was like, why
Speaker 1: are you doing this? They decide the race will take
Speaker 1: place next Saturday, but one of the goons then has
Speaker 1: my favorite moment of the entire movie where he says
Speaker 1: they have to push it back off by a week
Speaker 1: because he's getting his braces off. Just strange. So they
Speaker 1: agree two saturdays from now at the Devil's Taint. They
Speaker 1: are going on the trail. It's actually the Devil's Revenge,
Speaker 1: but I have to call it the Devil's Taint from
Speaker 1: this morning on, just so you know. It's the Devil's
Speaker 1: Revenge trail. So anyway, why is he called that? Because
Speaker 1: that's it. It's the best names there always Devil's Curve,
Speaker 1: Devil's dead Man's curve, Devil's this, this is the Devil's Taint.
Speaker 1: Josh pays a surprise morning visit to John black Horse
Speaker 1: and a Buela Rose, waking them up. Josh asks for
Speaker 1: Navajo herbs or medicine to get into better shape for
Speaker 1: the race. John gives him a green liquid in a
Speaker 1: jar and tells him not to eat anything today. We
Speaker 1: see Josh back home, working out and blending the concoction
Speaker 1: for consumption. He eventually is forced to admit to his
Speaker 1: Buffalo crew that he challenged Kyle to a race, and
Speaker 1: like me, Thomas don't understand why he's speaking for all
Speaker 1: the Navajo locals. Even Moon thinks this is a bad idea,
Speaker 1: and Moon is clearly a weirdo. But Josh swears he'll win.
Speaker 1: He wants to finally do something bigger than himself, but
Speaker 1: Thomas wants to take over the race, especially after they
Speaker 1: see the Devil's Taint. It is a terrifying, nasty trail
Speaker 1: and it is too much for Josh's bike, but Josh
Speaker 1: says he must do this to make up for his mistakes.
Speaker 1: He'll fix his bike and win, and Scout actually agrees.
Speaker 1: She hands him a turquoise necklace for good fortune. It
Speaker 1: is on we get a montage here Love a good
Speaker 1: montage of Josh practicing and exercising, eventually bejing again in
Speaker 1: the Green John Black Horse juice. I don't need to
Speaker 1: ever see this kid in a bathtub. While practicing, he
Speaker 1: runs into Kyle and his goons and they exchange words.
Speaker 1: Kyle has a last laugh, though he clogs Josh's spokes
Speaker 1: and sends him flying. Even worse, it damaged his bike
Speaker 1: and he has to walk home. Now Before this, did
Speaker 1: you notice this? They do another montage of Josh training
Speaker 1: and he falls off his bike, tries to pap a
Speaker 1: wheelie and hits a rock and falls off his bike.
Speaker 1: That looked real. It didn't look like a stunt. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: His stunt man actor was clearly trying to do something
Speaker 1: like Papa Little Wheelly and takes a spill like the
Speaker 1: end they kept it in the movie. It is clearly
Speaker 1: he has a wipeout and I was like, ooh, that
Speaker 1: was real. Wouch But yeah, this one, though, was obviously
Speaker 1: done by a stunt double. But even worse, it damages
Speaker 1: his bike. He has to walk home and the thunderstorm
Speaker 1: is a bruin his mind. I want to live in
Speaker 1: this place with all these thunderstorms. His mom is worried
Speaker 1: and calls Thomas. They have no idea where Josh. She
Speaker 1: then calls DJ Domino, who cuts into a broadcast with
Speaker 1: a breaking emergency. Everyone should be looking for Josh. He
Speaker 1: is officially missing. Doctor Nick and Blaine and the Black
Speaker 1: Horses hit the road looking for their son in the storm,
Speaker 1: eventually finding him shivering at the train tracks. He is
Speaker 1: distraught that he can't race Kyle without a bike. Now,
Speaker 1: Thomas and John return Kyle home and his parents are
Speaker 1: obviously very thankful. John offers an extract to help his spirit,
Speaker 1: but Nick is quick to say that a real doctor
Speaker 1: is on the way. The doctor comes in and essentially
Speaker 1: says the same thing that John black Horse says, which
Speaker 1: I really like. Now both families are together in the
Speaker 1: kitchen as Josh sleeps. John reveals to Josh's parents that
Speaker 1: he was training for a competition. They're shocked they knew
Speaker 1: nothing about this. John sages Josh's room, hoping to heal him,
Speaker 1: and Nick has to leave the house for a drive
Speaker 1: because he is sneezing the entire time. While coasting, he
Speaker 1: sees some road signs that say looking for something, so
Speaker 1: he pulls over to learn more. It is a cabin
Speaker 1: store called Things Forgotten. I think that's what it was called.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It was filled. I'm kidding, didn't you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's so easy it's not even worth it. Like
Speaker 1: the calendar it's Day's member. No.
Speaker 2: I really liked the name of it. And it's always
Speaker 2: I gets like little things from things remembered. Okay, oh,
Speaker 2: thanks for God, and that's actually really good for this.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: It is filled with knick knacks, with patty wax and
Speaker 1: with jewelry and inside is Now do you think this
Speaker 1: was Scout? Do you think this was a grown up
Speaker 1: version of Scout in some kind of weird that they did?
Speaker 2: No? I just was like, how do these people are?
Speaker 2: How are they all mind readers?
Speaker 1: It's I didn't know if it was. There's a chance
Speaker 1: they were going for that's supposed to be grown up
Speaker 1: talking Scout. I don't know, but I think I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: If it is, it's brilliant. If it's not, they cast
Speaker 1: someone who could play her older, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she actually looked familiar to me, that actress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it couldn't be too sir. Yeah, but she says
Speaker 1: he's not law he says, yes, I am, and he's
Speaker 1: looking for something for his son. She suggests a bike,
Speaker 1: and he can't believe she knew to say that. He's
Speaker 1: taken aback as a scientist. He just doesn't understand the
Speaker 1: Navajo people. She tells him there's a bike in the
Speaker 1: back and she can let him have it for cheap.
Speaker 1: And then Josh finally wakes up. He sees a shiny,
Speaker 1: new red bike in his room and calls it tight.
Speaker 1: His mom and dad are so excited to see him awake.
Speaker 1: Nick says the bike is for the race. Josh says
Speaker 1: he isn't sure, but his dad assures him he is
Speaker 1: now on the way to the big race. Doctor Nick
Speaker 1: is giving all sorts of scientific advice to his son.
Speaker 1: There is a big crowd already waiting for the competition
Speaker 1: as Josh and Kyle shake hands before they start. Now
Speaker 1: at the starting line, Moon gets them ready, Get set
Speaker 1: and go. DJ Domino's keeping everyone updated on the radio
Speaker 1: as we watch along. They're both going at it full speed,
Speaker 1: neck and neck, with Josh's parents watching through a telescope. Okay,
Speaker 1: now follow me here nearby the woman in the truck
Speaker 1: again Buffalo Karen the one who seems to be hounded
Speaker 1: by buffalo throughout the entire movie. She's driving in the field.
Speaker 1: Her car backfires, spooking the herd into a stampede. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the race has come to the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1: Josh in the lead, but he notices the buffalo are
Speaker 1: off the reservation, thanks that dumb truck lady again, stupid buffalo. Karen.
Speaker 1: Kyle is gaining ground, so Josh finally starts to descent.
Speaker 1: They're virtually tied as they approach the Devil's Tape. Josh
Speaker 1: takes a massive jump over the cliff and lands it,
Speaker 1: but Kyle takes the easy slow way around, because sometimes
Speaker 1: you'd like to take the slow root with the Devil's taint.
Speaker 1: But the buffalo are also still running at full speed
Speaker 1: and Thomas senses it. Josh is now ridden completely off
Speaker 1: the trail. He entered the spectator area, alerting his crew
Speaker 1: that the buffalo are on their way to town. He
Speaker 1: ditches the race completely, letting everyone in the emergency. Even
Speaker 1: Kyle's goos decide to help, leaving their idiot friend behind
Speaker 1: to race himself. Now the crew and a dozen other
Speaker 1: kids are racing back home. Thomas sets a plan to
Speaker 1: corral the buffalo, and everyone follows his lead. But once
Speaker 1: Thomas gets close, he takes a big fall, uncontrollably rolling
Speaker 1: on the ground, landing face to face with a buffalo.
Speaker 1: Scout catches up to help. With her brother now hurt
Speaker 1: and helpless, the buffalo could attack every moment she knows
Speaker 1: that stares at the animal, takes a deep breath, oh,
Speaker 1: and starts to sing Lean on Me, Yes Love It
Speaker 1: Sabrina's favorite. Eventually joined by her brother, she is talking again.
Speaker 1: They successfully calmed the buffalo, sending him away, while at
Speaker 1: the same time the rest of the bikers have halted
Speaker 1: the progress of the stampede. The city is saved. DJ
Speaker 1: Domino announces the victory, leading us to another potluck celebration.
Speaker 1: Josh is trying new prickly pear food and cactus, accepting
Speaker 1: his new Navajo ways. John Blackhorse gives a speech, gifting
Speaker 1: his son Thomas an arrowhead necklace that belonged to his dad.
Speaker 1: He also calls up Josh and ceremoniously gives him the
Speaker 1: name Rides with the Wind. The partygoers applaud all their
Speaker 1: new friends are together, and they make a pack to
Speaker 1: protect the land as one, They give each other high
Speaker 1: fives and we freeze. That is our movie. Why don't
Speaker 1: we do some real reviews? I think I have the
Speaker 1: five star this week, and it is by somebody named
Speaker 1: Johnny macbarlowe, and the five star review reads as thus, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm the husband of Elvia Nava, who played Scott's who
Speaker 1: played scouts stunt double in the movie. I was there
Speaker 1: and saw a riding so close to the buffalo who
Speaker 1: were hurted by a helicopter. It is something I will
Speaker 1: never forget. The crew deserves huge credit for ensuring my
Speaker 1: wife's safety and that of the other stunt doubles. My
Speaker 1: wife is a real tough Latina. I hope you like
Speaker 1: her work. Thanks five stars. What do you got this week, Sabrina?
Speaker 2: I've got a one star from our buddy unamid unnamed
Speaker 2: putting in a review not willing to take the cap.
Speaker 2: Take some credit, view, take some credit, guys. Anyway, this
Speaker 2: one goes saw the first twenty minutes of it pretty
Speaker 2: stupid in my opinion, of course.
Speaker 1: Wo wow, Ounama's harsh this week. One star. And now
Speaker 1: we come to our feature presentation of our program Sabrina's
Speaker 1: favorite it the Jensen Chronicles. I'm gonna start calling this
Speaker 1: producer Jensen Chronicles, and this feature is called BMX or
Speaker 1: bm next. When we started the podcast, who would have
Speaker 1: guessed that BMX bikes were such a common theme in
Speaker 1: d COM's It sure does come up a lot. So
Speaker 1: to make sure we're ready for any bikes the future holds,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be given four options, and we have to
Speaker 1: guess which is an actual name for a BMX bike

Speaker 3: You will knew so much about being.
Speaker 2: I have a pretty cool one to take him to
Speaker 2: the coop.
Speaker 1: I did not yet. Here's the other thing. By the way,
Speaker 1: my brother had a Hutch when we were growing up.
Speaker 1: It was like his prize possession. Number four Is it
Speaker 1: a General Osborne Pro, B Sergeant Osborne Pro C, Captain
Speaker 1: Osborne Pro or D Officer Osborne Pro. And once again,
Speaker 1: I have no idea, so I'm gonna pick just because
Speaker 1: it's kind of a cool name. B Sergeant Osborne Pro. Sabrina,
Speaker 1: what you got?
Speaker 2: I was gonna go with B, but now I can't.
Speaker 2: I'll go with D Officer.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're gonna please it's a wet generals like nah
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem cool enough general. Now this is where
Speaker 1: Jensen gets mean, because I know Mongoose is also a
Speaker 1: bike company. So is it a Mongoose Jumper Pro, B
Speaker 1: Mongoose Decade, CE, Mongoose Grinder, or D Mongoose Tinder. So
Speaker 1: it I was like, oh, Mongoose Grinder are you I'm

Speaker 3: I'm so good at fake names. It's b.
Speaker 2: Ma's decade that seems weird, the pro and the grinder, Like.
Speaker 1: Really, I thought grinder and tinder you would have realized
Speaker 1: we're too fake things. No.
Speaker 2: I thought he found grinder and was like, oh, that's funny, man.
Speaker 1: I see the way.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought you'd think.
Speaker 1: Good lost Again, that's two in a row. We have lost.
Speaker 1: Can we do something seas at least we know we'll win.
Speaker 2: There kinda So one of the first things and I
Speaker 2: put it down going they're, you know, definitely going to
Speaker 2: talk about this, but we'll just put it down anyway.
Speaker 2: Did you realize that she could she could hear before
Speaker 2: they like made it obvious?
Speaker 1: No, you didn't. No, I thought she was deaf.
Speaker 2: Oh, because in when he's in the bike shop, and
Speaker 2: they're talking and her in a.
Speaker 1: Boil, and that's where I figured it out. Okay, I
Speaker 1: thought you met when we first meet her.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no no, but this this was quite
Speaker 2: This was a couple of few scenes before the like
Speaker 2: well it was it was before the potluck, it was
Speaker 2: right before the potluck or whatever. And I was like,
Speaker 2: she can't see his mouth to you know, I know,
Speaker 2: deaf people are just incredible at like some of them
Speaker 2: pretty lived and it's just amazing how much, you know,
Speaker 2: they can really do with that. And I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: you can tell the angle, she cannot see his mouth,
Speaker 2: what is going on here? So I was like that
Speaker 2: that hit me first, and then obviously that next scene
Speaker 2: when we see her on the bed and everything it
Speaker 2: all comes together, and that just really took my, like
Speaker 2: my heart, because I have heard about a few people
Speaker 2: that do really kind of goes to clues through traumatic things,
Speaker 2: and I've talked to the parents of children like that,
Speaker 2: how hard it is for the parents because of a
Speaker 2: school and all that. So that was just like a
Speaker 2: moment that I was like, you know.
Speaker 1: This, there's a character in Scrooge the Little Boy and Scrooged.
Speaker 1: It doesn't talk because it keeps dealt with the trauma.
Speaker 2: Yes, anything so crazy, And that just really took my
Speaker 2: heart as a mom, Like that was like me and
Speaker 2: I like really just loved this little character of her,
Speaker 2: and I loved her way of finding a way to communicate,
Speaker 2: and I thought the way they used it throughout the
Speaker 2: movie was really great. You know, she wasn't necessarily always
Speaker 2: doing sign language. She is kind of also signing the
Speaker 2: what seemed like the Navajo like ways of speaking, which
Speaker 2: I thought was creative and I thought they got really great.
Speaker 2: One of the first things though, before that, was this kid,
Speaker 2: it's not like his bike. So we got to talk
Speaker 2: about this bike.
Speaker 1: The crap bike or the good bike, the crap bike,
Speaker 1: because it's a crap bike.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even like it was a kind of rusty
Speaker 2: old somewhat of a mountain bike or a sport bike
Speaker 2: at all. It was like keeeek bike around a beach cruiser. Yes,
Speaker 2: this is a beach cruiser that you see in Newport, Okay. Yes,
Speaker 2: an old one. Yes, an old one. But this was
Speaker 2: not that bike. There is no way in hell that
Speaker 2: bike could have been on the terrain.
Speaker 1: It was no right, Well, they keep showing him changing
Speaker 1: the tires, so they keep showing him putting on new tires.
Speaker 1: So they're showing that he's putting on mountain bike tires.
Speaker 1: It's clearly not a mountain bike.
Speaker 2: So would that work on a thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, you're you're just if you put
Speaker 1: on those kind of tires, then yes, but it's still
Speaker 1: your It's just a crap bike. They bought this multimillion
Speaker 1: dollar house and that they give the kid like, hey,
Speaker 1: we found this in the junkyard kind of bike. It
Speaker 1: was weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it just was a little bit of
Speaker 2: a stretch to me. I don't think they needed to
Speaker 2: go far as getting this poor kid a beach cruiser.
Speaker 1: That was just to get a bike ad to me.
Speaker 2: Another thing that really struck out to me. Obviously we
Speaker 2: talked about the amount of baths that this kid took
Speaker 2: in a Disney movie. That was weird for me. But
Speaker 2: when the kids were going to the waterfall and those
Speaker 2: cans they had, I for sure was like, we're doing drink.
Speaker 2: This is a drinking thing in front of a Disney thing.
Speaker 2: We've only seen it once, but it looked like full
Speaker 2: blown like beer be You did not look like a
Speaker 2: soda of any sort. And I know you can't do
Speaker 2: Coca Cola, you can't do the main brands. I understand that,
Speaker 2: but I wish there. It just really like was like
Speaker 2: off putting to me. Especially when they throw them in
Speaker 2: the river and all that kind of stuff. Was just like,
Speaker 2: whoa drinking in a Disney comm You know, I'm not
Speaker 2: into that. I'm not into doing the drinking with the
Speaker 2: Disney bombs. Not not cool. Keep it for somewhere else.
Speaker 2: They had, like obviously the black horses and then the
Speaker 2: Charlie Horse was the place where they were. There was
Speaker 2: the bike shop, thank you, but there were no horses
Speaker 2: anywhere in this community. They had a lot of horses kind,
Speaker 2: but there were no horses. Yeah, and then the last thing,
Speaker 2: little tidbit. Monroe watched most of this with me. She
Speaker 2: actually really liked this movie. Okay, she usually kind of
Speaker 2: she'll start, she'll come back, and she kind of moves around.
Speaker 2: Her favorite part was when Scout gave her him the
Speaker 2: necklace and she goes, Mommie, why is she giving him
Speaker 2: a necklace? Is that Mowanna's necklace? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's probably Mowanna's necklaces like very cool.
Speaker 1: Sweet. Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 2: I liked this movie. She liked it enough to watch
Speaker 2: with me, which again she does not. She hasn't been
Speaker 2: able to. The DCM is still a little bit above
Speaker 2: her head at this point.
Speaker 1: No, I get it. That's it.
Speaker 2: There's a fun watch to watch with my little one.
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, thank you, Sabrina, and uh well, now
Speaker 1: we gotta rate it now, we gotta we gotta figure
Speaker 1: out what we like about this. So our options for
Speaker 1: this week again, Now, let's do one out of ten
Speaker 1: and then we'll do we'll do ten. We'll make ten
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 2: I kind of liked one at forty, but I know
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give.
Speaker 1: This a twenty nine. Yes, So our options today are
Speaker 1: one out of ten, Jerkys one out of ten, dirt Heads,
Speaker 1: moon Rocks for Big Air and really Sick Descents one
Speaker 1: out of ten, DJ Dominoes, one out of ten, Potlucks,
Speaker 1: Talking Hawks, dried blue Corn, cheeseball pick me ups one
Speaker 1: at a ten, John Black Horse, Green Juices one out
Speaker 1: of ten, Josh's dim Sums, or I'm going to add
Speaker 1: one out of ten unnecessary children bathing. Which would you
Speaker 1: like to pick.
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna add because it was so
Speaker 2: good one out of ten Buffalo Karens.
Speaker 1: Buffalo Karens is a good one too. You picked.
Speaker 2: Buffalo Karens Buffalo Carriens, you got it. Character drove me crazy.
Speaker 1: There was no point for There was no point in
Speaker 1: her character.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think the DJ character with Adrian was was.
Speaker 2: I obviously loved watching her do it, but at the
Speaker 2: same time, it was kind of like it did. It
Speaker 2: wasn't absolutely necessary. They could have made her character a
Speaker 2: beefier or knocked out with Buffalo Karen fear or knock
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 1: Why don't we go first? You go first?
Speaker 2: You're going to go first because I gave our last
Speaker 2: movie a six point five, which I hope I'm right,
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure it did. Okay, This one, to
Speaker 2: me was kind of the same in the sense of
Speaker 2: I could take it or leave it. But I did
Speaker 2: think some of the stuff that was done overall was
Speaker 2: a little bit better for me. So I'm going to
Speaker 2: do seven. Buffalo Karens.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm kind of right there with you. This
Speaker 1: is this was not a bad movie. Was this a
Speaker 1: great movie? No? Was this a terrible movie. Absolutely not,
Speaker 1: it was. I think it was very pretty. Obviously you're
Speaker 1: looking at some of this gorgeous land and mountains and everything. Again,
Speaker 1: I thought Simon Baker was I was just watching this kid,
Speaker 1: and I just said, it's this. Oh, people are now Oh.
Speaker 1: One of our producers asking was it better than Double Teamed? Yes?
Speaker 1: It was. Yes, it was better than as a movie.
Speaker 1: This was better than Double Teamed. It was You've got
Speaker 1: twenty eight year olds playing twelve year old and then
Speaker 1: lines like how do you tell them apart they're different people? Uh? Yes,
Speaker 1: so I I yes, I would say this is probably right.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm also gonna give it seven u uh
Speaker 1: Buffalo Karents because I also I like, I think one
Speaker 1: of Disney's jobs, frankly, is bringing cultures that other kids
Speaker 1: might not be exposed to to them to their house.
Speaker 1: And that's I think one of the things Disney's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Now this there's a lot of people that will argue
Speaker 1: is a swing and a miss in this movie sense,
Speaker 1: because they didn't do justice to the novelo culture. So
Speaker 1: that's not a good thing.
Speaker 2: But is it fair for them to bring it into
Speaker 2: their world at least to be interested and then maybe
Speaker 2: they do their own.
Speaker 1: They do the research exactly. That's what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't I didn't take this movie
Speaker 2: though for Disney trying to do like an educational experience.
Speaker 2: I think they were trying to just kind of tap into,
Speaker 2: like you said, bringing a new sense of culture into
Speaker 2: the world. This is before Twilight, Okay, this is before
Speaker 2: a lot of the like what was you know, big
Speaker 2: movies and really did it big for this generation? Right,
Speaker 2: So it's just a kind of tap into it for
Speaker 2: kids and then if they're loving it, then they're going, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to look into it more. So Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I don't blame Disney. You know, do should they have
Speaker 2: maybe done a little bit more research?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, of course, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2: But I don't think it was an educational yeah moment
Speaker 2: for them that they were trying to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, it was, I agree, and I liked.
Speaker 2: I liked that.
Speaker 1: I liked I think that's an important aspect of d coms.
Speaker 1: Is is something that kids maybe wouldn't be exposed to.
Speaker 1: So I liked that. And we also got a chance
Speaker 1: to talk to Simon Baker about his role in this movie.
Speaker 1: I was so excited because, like I said, this guy
Speaker 1: just jumps off the screen. We had an awesome conversation.
Speaker 1: Take listen to a clip.
Speaker 4: When we were up there that was pro vo falls,
Speaker 4: and then when we were doing the actual jump. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm going to break it down and ruin it for everyone, but.
Speaker 1: That's okay, it's movie magic. We know it's movie magic.
Speaker 4: But we went to this big Olympic pool and we
Speaker 4: you know, jumped off of this big diving board and so.
Speaker 2: That killed it a little bit, thank killed me a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was such a fun talk. So make sure
Speaker 1: you go and check that out. I promise you it
Speaker 1: is worth it. So our next movie, though, will be
Speaker 1: the two thousand and three fantasy comedy You Wish. And
Speaker 1: I'm saying it like that because yes, it has an
