Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Bigfoot like in real life? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that.
Speaker 2: Everyone's seen him in a movie. Have you seen him
Speaker 2: in real life? Have you ever been like, that's Bigfoot?
Speaker 3: I have not seen him in real life. No, I
Speaker 3: haven't really gone hunting for him. I have seen Bigfoot
Speaker 3: the movie.
Speaker 1: It's not the same. That's fake.
Speaker 3: I love Bigfoot the movie.
Speaker 1: I know, but that's what. Do you mean Bigfoot the movie?
Speaker 1: Or do you mean Harry and the Henderson's.
Speaker 4: Harry and the Henderson's. Yes, how did you know?
Speaker 3: That's what I was doing?
Speaker 2: Because I'm guessing. Have they made Bigfoot the movie? I
Speaker 2: don't think that's a thing. I think Harry and the
Speaker 2: Henderson's is a thing. I don't think Bigfoot the movie
Speaker 2: is actually a thing.
Speaker 4: But I did like that movie.
Speaker 2: Harry and Henderson's. Okay, you know, they made a television
Speaker 2: show out of it too.
Speaker 3: I know I didn't watch the show, but I did
Speaker 3: watch the movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just I'm very curious.
Speaker 2: So last night, Sue and I were sitting outside and
Speaker 2: we saw this light in the sky that was too
Speaker 2: far away to be a plane. Okay, but I think
Speaker 2: too close to be the International Space Station. So technically
Speaker 2: because we did not know what it was. It was
Speaker 2: an unidentified flying object, had no read like, so you
Speaker 2: a phoe, do you believe? Do you believe aliens are here? I?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't I can see why people would think that.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's hard for me to ever go
Speaker 3: one way or the other if I think they're here.
Speaker 3: If I haven't seen it myself, it seems crazy.
Speaker 2: You've never seen a UFO, You've ever seen something in
Speaker 2: the sky where you're like, what the heck is that?
Speaker 3: No? Okay, no, no, my brain, my brain doesn't go there.
Speaker 3: I'm not a sci fi person, so it just doesn't like,
Speaker 3: it just doesn't automatically go there. It's like, oh, that
Speaker 3: was a star.
Speaker 1: That okay moved.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's oh, that's obviously people coming to colonize this
Speaker 2: for water.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 2: you want to grab your friends, your PJS, and your
Speaker 2: popcorn and go back to a time when all the
Speaker 2: houses were smart, the wave tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 2: I'm Wilfordell and I'm Sabrina Brian, and I ask you,
Speaker 2: Sabrina about all these mythical things, because today we're going
Speaker 2: to down a jug of water and marvel at your
Speaker 2: scales because we're deep diving into nineteen ninety Nine's The
Speaker 2: Thirteenth Year, which, to my surprise, was not about a
Speaker 2: kid having his barmitzvun.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I had no idea.
Speaker 2: If somebody said to you, there's a movie called the
Speaker 2: Thirteenth Year, you've got twenty guesses, would Merman be anywhere
Speaker 2: on your list?
Speaker 4: Not even closet?
Speaker 3: The water started happening, the mermaids showed up, and I, oh, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I said. How do you not call
Speaker 2: it thins or scales?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Something fishy, something's fishy, something fishy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: Something fishy is going on thirteen years.
Speaker 2: So this originally aired on the Disney Channel on May fifteenth,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, and The Thirteenth Year was actually a
Speaker 2: very big success for the channel, becoming the second highest
Speaker 2: rated dcom of all time, and has since received kudos
Speaker 2: like ranking on the Infamous Now Complex list at number seventeen,
Speaker 2: Collider has it at number sixteen, and Entertainment Weekly ranked
Speaker 2: it as their number seven on the Top thirty of
Speaker 2: d coms, and so that's a total triple crown there.
Speaker 2: And then when it was first released, the Post Standard
Speaker 2: did say it was quote not as entertaining as the
Speaker 2: mainstream theatrical movie of nineteen eighty four, Splash, which of
Speaker 2: course they have very similar themes.
Speaker 1: But that's Splash. You've got Ron Howard, You've got Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2: This is a dcom and I think a pretty decent one,
Speaker 2: but over all the movies aged well.
Speaker 1: With all its nostalgia.
Speaker 2: Is currently available to stream on Disney Plus, so you
Speaker 2: can go and check it out before listening to us,
Speaker 2: or wait until later, or don't listen to it all.
Speaker 2: No skin off our backs. We're not there. We're not
Speaker 2: babysitting yet. Do what you want to do. This movie
Speaker 2: is another very rare occurrence in the dcom world, where
Speaker 2: it was filmed in wait for it, Southern California. It
Speaker 2: was a six week shoot. It shot primarily in Newport Beach,
Speaker 2: with stops in San Pedro and Corona del Mar. So,
Speaker 2: if we've learned anything lately, which I think we have,
Speaker 2: because this is a very educational podcast, these movies that
Speaker 2: are not shot in Utah or Vancouver are only not
Speaker 2: shot in Utah and Vancouver when they need an ocean. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because obviously you don't think about I guess you think
Speaker 2: I mean Vancouver's right in the water, beautiful place.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, this is something that we usually mentioned during the credits,
Speaker 2: but it's worth noting that this movie has had a
Speaker 2: bit of a second life due to the fact that
Speaker 2: it's the first appearance. Did you notice, if no one
Speaker 2: had pointed out, did you notice this was the first
Speaker 2: appearance of a very important modern day actress in any
Speaker 2: TV or film. Did you notice who was waiting in
Speaker 2: line for water when he was there gargling down the
Speaker 2: water in school, there's a lot they panned past the
Speaker 2: long line of kids as he's in the.
Speaker 1: No, you did not see what eight year old Kristin
Speaker 1: Stewart was no standing in line wearing a white turtleneck
Speaker 1: and appearing as one of the students in line for
Speaker 1: a drink at the water fountain will Cody Hogs at all.
Speaker 1: And that's because her mom was the script supervisor on this.
Speaker 2: So the first time we get to see Kristin Stewart
Speaker 2: ever is in Something's Fishy. I'm officially changing to this
Speaker 2: wonderful movie of the thirteenth Year. Now before we are
Speaker 2: sent over to the thirteenth Year for a recap, I
Speaker 2: think we've both answered this question.
Speaker 1: Did you know anything about this movie?
Speaker 4: Nothing?
Speaker 1: Nothing?
Speaker 4: Right, I had not heard anything.
Speaker 3: When I saw who were we were trying to get
Speaker 3: to interview, it was like, how do I not know
Speaker 3: what this movie is?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Right now I can say I've watched it because I've
Speaker 3: never heard of it. And the title gives you again,
Speaker 3: I We're gonna harp on this. I feel the whole
Speaker 3: pod because it's just the title's ridiculous. It doesn't give
Speaker 3: you any insight into what you're about to see. Nothing, shocked, shock,
Speaker 3: and awe when mermaids started flying out of.
Speaker 2: The yeh nothing, not even a hint of mermaid in
Speaker 2: the title. But before we start jolting people with an
Speaker 2: electric eel shock, let's get into the synopsis here.
Speaker 1: After he begins to grow fins and slimy scales.
Speaker 2: On his thirteenth birthday, which of course is where the
Speaker 2: title comes from, Cody learns that his birth mother is
Speaker 2: a mermaid.
Speaker 1: Early thought, Sabrina, what did you think of the movie?
Speaker 1: Knowing nothing going in?
Speaker 3: I was excited because I felt like I was watching
Speaker 3: Splash for a minute.
Speaker 1: It did.
Speaker 3: It took me right back to this movie that I
Speaker 3: really loved. I got that vibe.
Speaker 4: It was strong.
Speaker 3: I loved being able to kind of see how they
Speaker 3: would do that with kids. It was a different storyline
Speaker 3: when it comes to Mermaids. Yeah, I felt but you know,
Speaker 3: it was it was good.
Speaker 4: It was cute.
Speaker 3: It was cute. There was time that were a little long,
Speaker 3: and a lot of things that didn't make sense. The parenting, again,
Speaker 3: there was a few very I just feel like it's
Speaker 3: a trope that happens on Disney Channel at this point.
Speaker 1: It is that and girlfriends, I mean girl friends, man,
Speaker 1: not necessary.
Speaker 3: Girlfriends too, could have just been a best friend their
Speaker 3: relationship right, it has been a really good best friend
Speaker 3: that gets irritated.
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, I felt the same way again,
Speaker 2: no idea what to expect Thirteenth Year. I did not
Speaker 2: know anything about it.
Speaker 1: It was it was good. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: cute kind of movie.
Speaker 2: The acting to me, was a little a little more
Speaker 2: early Disney Channel Kids than some of the later ones
Speaker 2: that we've seen. Even though this is a nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: nine movie. There are reasons for that are that are
Speaker 2: legitimate totally. It was not awful by any stretch of
Speaker 2: the imagination. But it was not to the level of
Speaker 2: some of the ones that we've seen. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: not the acting you're going to see in the Color
Speaker 2: of Friendship or Going to Matt or some of these
Speaker 2: other ones that we throw at you, because you know,
Speaker 2: it's just and again, there's there's reasons, and this is
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 3: It's the dialogue that was scripted. Yes, it wasn't natural.
Speaker 3: It wasn't how you would ask.
Speaker 1: Certain questions yeah I don't disagree, you.
Speaker 3: Know, or how you'd get how you'd be looking and
Speaker 3: figuring out what the answer is.
Speaker 4: It just kind of was choppy and yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, well the movie.
Speaker 2: The movie stars one of the greatest named actors I've
Speaker 2: ever heard ever. It sounds like a total superhero name.
Speaker 2: It stars Chez Starbuck in his first ever role. That's
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why maybe the acting was not
Speaker 2: as good as a season professional at thirteen or fourteen
Speaker 2: years old. Yeah, again, his first role ever. He was
Speaker 2: a Nevada resident and this is the only the second
Speaker 2: audition he ever had. After being the anchor on a
Speaker 2: kid's news program in Green Valley.
Speaker 4: Good for him.
Speaker 1: Do you ever watch Kids News? Do you ever see that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't either.
Speaker 2: He would later appear on MTV's Undressed You're Invited to
Speaker 2: Marry Okay wait, I'm pretty sure this is the full title.
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I get it right.
Speaker 1: MTV's Undressed.
Speaker 2: You're Invited to Mary, Kate and Ashley's school dance Party.
Speaker 2: I'm so many questions as to why you have to
Speaker 2: be undressed to go to a school dance party?
Speaker 1: Or is it empty?
Speaker 5: Two different things? Help. Undressed is a weekly show on
Speaker 5: MTV that's hired a lot of young actors.
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
Speaker 5: There's another movie he's in that's called.
Speaker 1: You're Invited to Mary Kate and Ashley's within the.
Speaker 3: Movie with Mary Ashley. Okay, right, yeah, I do remember
Speaker 3: MTV's Undressed.
Speaker 1: Okay, I remember MTV when it was videos.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: The most recognizable phase in the movie is that of
Speaker 2: Dave Coolier, who plays with Griffin, the adopted father of
Speaker 2: Cody and the owner of a tour boat in the area. Also,
Speaker 2: he lives in a essentially massive castle on a cliff
Speaker 2: overlooking the ocean with this beautiful beachfront view and what
Speaker 2: looks to be his own private beach, and it's never
Speaker 2: explained why they have this type of money. Dave Cooler
Speaker 2: is obviously best known as Joey Gladstone from full and
Speaker 2: Fuller House and the voice of Pete or Peter Venkman.
Speaker 1: In the Real Ghostbusters cartoon Awesome Justin.
Speaker 2: John Ross plays Corey's new best friend Jess, and he
Speaker 2: has had an acting career that ended in two thousand
Speaker 2: and three, but while he was still active, listen to
Speaker 2: the people that he played the young versions of So
Speaker 2: if you needed a young version of something, this was
Speaker 2: the go to guy.
Speaker 1: He was young Frank Sinatra in the movie Sinatra, Young
Speaker 1: Martin Short on The Martin Short Show, and young Rick
Speaker 1: Moranis in both Little Giants and Big Bully. He was
Speaker 1: also the voice of a young Robin Williams in.
Speaker 2: The Jumanji cartoon I Mean just If you need an awesome, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you went to Justin John Ross. Brent Briscoe plays Big
Speaker 2: John Wheatley, the dad of Jess and a fisherman who's
Speaker 2: dead set on finding a mermaid he once stumbled on
Speaker 2: in the wild. Brent is a legendary character actor who
Speaker 2: appeared in movies like Moulholland, Drive, the Green Mile and
Speaker 2: a Simple Plan. Unfortunately he passed away in twenty seventeen
Speaker 2: at the very young age of fifty six. He had
Speaker 2: a real that guy face. He was in everything. Absolutely
Speaker 2: wonderful character actor.
Speaker 1: He really was.
Speaker 2: And your eyes did not deceive you. That was Joel
Speaker 2: McKinnon Miller and his signature flat top which you can
Speaker 2: recognize anywhere. You could recognize it, no, just by his shadow.
Speaker 2: He was in about thirty seconds of the movie as
Speaker 2: one of the Fishermen's ridiculing Big John for his mermaid beliefs.
Speaker 2: Joel is obviously incredibly recognizable, best known as Scully on
Speaker 2: Brooklyn nine to nine, Don on Big Love, and in
Speaker 2: moviees like Rush Hour two, The Truman Show, and Super eight.
Speaker 1: He still works all the time. He's everywhere.
Speaker 3: He must have had a friend in the movie that
Speaker 3: he happened.
Speaker 1: To be walking by set one day, or.
Speaker 3: He was in and out of this movie so fast they.
Speaker 1: Must not have It was just like, oh, you're here,
Speaker 1: can you do these lines?
Speaker 3: Someone actually did show up on set today, do you mind?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Can you take over please?
Speaker 2: Because everyone knows you and we've got three lines we'd
Speaker 2: like it to do.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: It runs ninety five minutes We're so Close to the
Speaker 2: bulls Eye and is directed by Duayanne Durham, who was
Speaker 2: a legendary editor this Unreal. This guy cuts Star Wars
Speaker 2: Return of the Jedi and worked with David Lynch as
Speaker 2: editor on Twin Peaks, which he won an Emmy four,
Speaker 2: Wild at Heart, and Blue Velvet. He would turn that
Speaker 2: into a directing career on family movies, including some other
Speaker 2: well known d cooms like Halloween Town, Double Teamed and
Speaker 2: Tiger Cruse. I mean the guy, The career that this
Speaker 2: guy has had. Imagine going from cutting Return of the
Speaker 2: Jedi and working the entire time with David Lynch on
Speaker 2: most of his stuff to then I'm gonna direct Halloween Town.
Speaker 1: And Double Team. Then Tiger is amazing.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: The movie was written by Robert L.
Speaker 2: Bard, who has gone on to write some big Disney
Speaker 2: films like Big Hero Six and Monster University. Kelly Senechol
Speaker 2: I want to say her name is sinetchal s E
Speaker 2: n E c A L. I apologize very bad with
Speaker 2: the pronunciations. And Jenny Arata also. Another crew member worth
Speaker 2: mentioning is the cinematographer Michael Slovas, who later in life
Speaker 2: would become a multi time Emmy nominee for the show,
Speaker 2: breaking proof that you never know what you're watching in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Chances are somebody's career started because of it. Yes, I
Speaker 2: will say that The Thirteenth Year and Cheetah Girls had
Speaker 2: something in common, and that was Jackal Johnson.
Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding, just in this movie Out of.
Speaker 3: Nowhere, I am looking for him at all times.
Speaker 2: Now, exactly Fishy Franklin. They would have called him the
Speaker 2: third brother of the team. No. They they did a
Speaker 2: pre release promo tour. They sent this new actor cha
Speaker 2: chez or Chay out into a multi city mall tour
Speaker 2: to sign autographs and promote the debut on the channel.
Speaker 1: Do you you did these? Didn't you?
Speaker 4: The pre release?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Of course yeah.
Speaker 2: So what I mean, walk me very briefly, walk me
Speaker 2: through what is what exactly were you doing?
Speaker 1: They bring you to a mall and and fans come
Speaker 1: and get autographs? Right.
Speaker 3: Kind A lot of that stuff blurs because once we
Speaker 3: got going with the Cheetah Girls, we were doing so much,
Speaker 3: you know, the tours, the albums, the just all that
Speaker 3: kind of stuff started. We were doing press all the time, right,
Speaker 3: But yeah, we would go into a lot of times
Speaker 3: there's mall tours type thing and you you do a
Speaker 3: Q and A of some sort and you know basically
Speaker 3: what they're doing at all the cons now, like you
Speaker 3: do Q and A and you and you do some
Speaker 3: signing and things like that.
Speaker 1: But you got to do it at a mall.
Speaker 2: And the thing that's so cool about doing it at
Speaker 2: a mall as opposed to doing it at con is
Speaker 2: you're always within fifty feet of a Missus Fields trying
Speaker 2: to make a very big fans.
Speaker 3: I'm an Annie Ann's girl a pretzels.
Speaker 2: I will take a pretzel all day long. And let's
Speaker 2: not you know, hot dog on a stick is nothing
Speaker 2: to sneeze out either, people. No, Right, The movie kicks
Speaker 2: off in a very high gear with Big John. He's
Speaker 2: out on the high season his boat. He's looking for
Speaker 2: a big catch when he stumbles upon a mermaid.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's stunned and obviously chases the beautiful hybrid who is
Speaker 2: played by Stephanie Chantel Durelli. And this is the only
Speaker 2: real movie that I think she's ever done. We were
Speaker 2: shocked by this because she's obviously stunning.
Speaker 3: And she looks so familiar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well she looks like a mermaid. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds stupid, but she does.
Speaker 3: I know, but she's just she's gorgeous and I had
Speaker 3: to look her up. I had to pause and go,
Speaker 3: who where do I know this face from? And really
Speaker 3: there's no other than this.
Speaker 1: This is it?
Speaker 2: Here was here was an instant criticism I have with
Speaker 2: the film. I apologize for this. I didn't understand if
Speaker 2: she was trying to run from the boat, because if she.
Speaker 1: Was, why not dive deeper deep?
Speaker 3: Go just go straight down the bottom of the ocean
Speaker 3: and go.
Speaker 5: I am happy that you bring up diving deeper because
Speaker 5: I know Sabrina says she did a little bit of
Speaker 5: research on this actress, but no one did more research
Speaker 5: on this actress.
Speaker 4: Than I'm okay, okay, fair.
Speaker 5: There is a possibility that this woman is more of
Speaker 5: a mermaid than she is an actress.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what She has an.
Speaker 5: Instagram and I would say that she plays a mermaid
Speaker 5: in most of her life and has done so since
Speaker 5: being in this movie and most likely before.
Speaker 4: Oh I gotta get her hand on.
Speaker 1: So is a mermaid? Is a mermaid?
Speaker 2: Like? Is that like a furry is is it like
Speaker 2: a subworld of kind of like you pretend to be
Speaker 2: a mermaid?
Speaker 1: Is that a thing?
Speaker 3: Is this podcast going there too?
Speaker 2: Episodes A furry is just you dress up? You like
Speaker 2: to dress up in furry stuff?
Speaker 4: Oh I thought.
Speaker 1: It, But that's you know what I mean, It's not
Speaker 1: just that.
Speaker 5: But okay, so I couldn't believe that she was only
Speaker 5: in one thing, like you said, she stole the camera.
Speaker 5: In my opinion, she was amazing, and so I found
Speaker 5: her online. It had a little bit of a weird
Speaker 5: crossover with our Podmeats World show as well. But I
Speaker 5: would say she's part of kind of a circus atmosphere,
Speaker 5: and she's a mermaid in those things, and probably half
Speaker 5: to sixty percent of her photos or just of her
Speaker 5: with mermaid legs or no legs whatever, mermaid tail. And
Speaker 5: she has pictures with Bonnie McGhee, who was the original
Speaker 5: Tebanga who has made a career out of being in
Speaker 5: circuses as well. Oh okay, I think she's just a
Speaker 5: mermaid man.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, then she was perfectly cast.
Speaker 3: Yes, she could hold her breath for years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that was about six or seven hours
Speaker 5: of research.
Speaker 3: But again again though maybe this was it. Maybe she
Speaker 3: wasn't hired necessarily as an actress, somehow found.
Speaker 4: In this world of some sort.
Speaker 3: Because I still the whole time didn't understand why she
Speaker 3: couldn't talk or dive deeper.
Speaker 5: What movie I thought of that wouldn't Maybe she gave
Speaker 5: up her voice in trade for legs and we don't
Speaker 5: know the whole story.
Speaker 6: Oh I don't know.
Speaker 3: Wow, what what mermaid can't talk in the water while
Speaker 3: they're in the water.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, don't get me started. How do mermaids
Speaker 5: give birth? Because that also kept me up about six hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fish, there's like this, but she had a full
Speaker 2: sized baby. She didn't lay eggs. Fish lay eggs and
Speaker 2: other fish come over and fertilize.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: We don't know if he didn't come out of an egg,
Speaker 5: but I do think it's a full grown baby. This
Speaker 5: egg is large.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that was my other question. Then is she
Speaker 1: trying to run with her child or is she trying
Speaker 1: to give up her child? We don't know that.
Speaker 2: At the beginning. I don't get what happened at the
Speaker 2: very beginning. Yeah, that was the weird thing. And again,
Speaker 2: if you're just trying to run and your kid can
Speaker 2: breathe underwater, just dive.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, how about this? Sorry, I'm now, I'm I
Speaker 5: didn't think of that. That's a very good point, will,
Speaker 5: But is the idea that when mermaids have children, for
Speaker 5: the first thirteen years of their life, they're normal humans,
Speaker 5: so they have to go live as normal humans, and
Speaker 5: then when they turn thirteen they need them back for
Speaker 5: a minute.
Speaker 3: Little mermaid would have never gotten made, is the case.
Speaker 5: But also, wouldn't that mean we have hundreds to thousands
Speaker 5: of mermaids walking around and.
Speaker 2: Don't know it, And you would think that then, and
Speaker 2: you're just having all these kids with these scally things
Speaker 2: and then turning by the fish people.
Speaker 5: And by that point, you know, ninety whatever, ninety nine,
Speaker 5: you would think, oh, that kid's a mermaid. He's got
Speaker 5: to go back home now he's thirteen. We would all
Speaker 5: know that that It's like it's like a bar.
Speaker 2: Mitzvah, right, it would be like a trope. We would
Speaker 2: understand that, and we don't. So I think at the
Speaker 2: beginning was a little muddled for me.
Speaker 3: If yes, why she left him on the little net
Speaker 3: area and the boat and then because she doesn't talk
Speaker 3: in this movie.
Speaker 4: You don't know if.
Speaker 3: She was trying to do that or if she put
Speaker 3: him there for safety for a little bit, so maybe
Speaker 3: distract this other boat guy.
Speaker 4: And then they took off and she didn't realize where.
Speaker 2: That's what I think they were going for, which also
Speaker 2: got strange though. Okay, so all right, so we found
Speaker 2: out by the way, we think her name on Instagram
Speaker 2: is Sequoya Derelli, So go check out all of her
Speaker 2: fish stuff. She's apparently an acrobat, like like Jensen was saying,
Speaker 2: So okay, we think we think we figured it out.
Speaker 2: Big John loses the mermaid because she's going straight on
Speaker 2: the surface. But the mermaid then sees another boat and
Speaker 2: with a little basket on the side, goes over and
Speaker 2: puts the baby in the basket. We're unsure as to
Speaker 2: whether that was her intention or if she was just
Speaker 2: trying to get rid of the kid for a little
Speaker 2: bit so she could distract whatever. But as that then happens,
Speaker 2: the couple takes off, they hear crying.
Speaker 1: It's Dave Coolier.
Speaker 2: They hear crying, and they find a little baby, and
Speaker 2: of course she instantly says, I want to keep it.
Speaker 2: He says, we can't he can't just keep a baby,
Speaker 2: but by three steps onto the beach, they've already.
Speaker 1: Named him Cody for some reason.
Speaker 2: Literally, So then we just cut to thirteen years later
Speaker 2: with that abandoned baby. Cody is a new teenager. He's
Speaker 2: late for his school swim meat and he is trying
Speaker 2: to help his dad fix the boat, the family boat.
Speaker 2: He can't really do that, his dad says, I can't
Speaker 2: get you to your swim meat on time. Go and
Speaker 2: take the ferry. So he goes down to the ferry
Speaker 2: dock where he misses the last boat, dives into the water,
Speaker 2: and then beats the boat across the channel, the fair boat,
Speaker 2: the ferry boat. He beats it across the channel, hops
Speaker 2: out of the water, makes it to his meat in time,
Speaker 2: and then comes in second. Yeah, to the guy named Sean, like,
Speaker 2: could that guy I have outrun the ferry even fast?
Speaker 3: Yes, fats aren't very fast.
Speaker 2: That's that's what you're going with, is that he could
Speaker 2: beat the ferry boat all the way across.
Speaker 3: Because the thoughts that happened through my head is, oh,
Speaker 3: this is why I hate taking fairies, Because you sit
Speaker 3: there and go, I could jump in this water and
Speaker 3: get over to the other side faster, like they're so slow.
Speaker 1: So you still okay, so you're still on board at
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, those thoughts happen. This is why I don't
Speaker 3: take fairies.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair fairy enough, I'll show myself up.
Speaker 2: So he he comes in second to the team captain Sean,
Speaker 2: someone he think he just cannot beat, but the team
Speaker 2: makes it for to the state finals, and of course
Speaker 2: coming in second makes him the most popular kid in square.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Literally, they're like, you're the big man on campus. Forget Sean,
Speaker 2: who came in first.
Speaker 4: Who always comes in first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's now the most popular kid in school. He's like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know how what being
Speaker 2: this popular is like? Because he came in second. I
Speaker 2: also found that a little stranger.
Speaker 3: I figured it was the whole team is like this
Speaker 3: is huge, this.
Speaker 1: Code, but no, they keep calling him bmoc. He's the
Speaker 1: big man on campus. What's it like be and you today? Cody? Like, man,
Speaker 1: I came in second.
Speaker 3: I thought it was like the whole team was just
Speaker 3: now just the thing on campus.
Speaker 2: Even Sean says to him, like, how's it feel to
Speaker 2: be so popular?
Speaker 1: Cody?
Speaker 2: I mean you lost to me, that must be awesome,
Speaker 2: Like it was weird, but he's enjoying his life. We
Speaker 2: also finally get to meet the biggest nerd in school, Jess,
Speaker 2: who plays the tuba for the school and bumps into
Speaker 2: a tab.
Speaker 1: He's a geeko and he falls in. He falls into
Speaker 1: the pool.
Speaker 2: He can't swim even though he's grown up on the
Speaker 2: water and his father's a fisherman. Again, a little weird,
Speaker 2: but Cody dives in the water, gets him out, helps
Speaker 2: him out. It's kind of their it's their meat cute,
Speaker 2: as in swim meat cute.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'm full of the pns today.
Speaker 3: They're good and they're real good.
Speaker 1: Well they are good.
Speaker 2: So you find out then that Jess's dad is the
Speaker 2: obsessed mermaid fisherman big jobs. From the beginning, we also
Speaker 2: meet Samantha, who is his adorable girlfriend. Disney can cast
Speaker 2: some cute boys and girls. They are just so cute together.
Speaker 2: They're really look like they're enjoying themselves. And it also
Speaker 2: made me think a little bit, so not to get
Speaker 2: too personal, but how old were you when you had
Speaker 2: your first like boyfriend, when you'd say, like, this is
Speaker 2: my boyfriend, I mean, I had.
Speaker 4: One in first grade. I do remember. His name is Daniel.
Speaker 1: I don't think Daniel. I don't think first grade cows.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, it was basically this is.
Speaker 2: About the right age, right, like like twelve thirteen totally.
Speaker 3: I think sixth grade middle school. Middle school is when
Speaker 3: you'd have like an actual boyfriend where you'd hold hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they like held hands right away.
Speaker 3: And Daniel Bride didn't even know it was my boyfriend.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure he didn't.
Speaker 2: He's like, wait, I was I had a chance with
Speaker 2: Sabrina Bryan what Oh my god, if only i'd known
Speaker 2: during naptime kind of.
Speaker 3: A title oh man, But yeah, I think, yes, okay,
Speaker 3: I think that's bough.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 3: They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend to start with, and I
Speaker 3: didn't there was really no progression of anything.
Speaker 2: Well, the parents kind of say, like, you guys an
Speaker 2: item now, and they're kind of like letting go of
Speaker 2: their hands.
Speaker 1: I think it's that awkward, what are we doing?
Speaker 3: But I didn't think it was needed, you know how
Speaker 3: sometimes they just throw in like a relationship. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: there wasn't really anything needed. I think that Sam could
Speaker 3: have easily been a really good friend, you know that,
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't have been weird.
Speaker 1: I think, though, what they were going for was that
Speaker 1: you haven't.
Speaker 2: That's why they gave him Jess is because when you
Speaker 2: have a secret like that, and again they kept alluding
Speaker 2: to it, and we'll get to this, kept alluding to
Speaker 2: it as going through puberty. So when you have a
Speaker 2: secret like that or you're going through that, it's like
Speaker 2: another guy friend you might So I get like, if
Speaker 2: they make her a girl, that's a friend he might
Speaker 2: not have won it felt comfortable talking to her about it.
Speaker 2: And then you're not telling your friend something, which is
Speaker 2: a little more terrible than not telling your girlfriend, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So I think they had to
Speaker 2: give him his friend to like talk have kind of
Speaker 2: the puberty talk quote unquote, and then he's not telling
Speaker 2: his girlfriend what's going on.
Speaker 7: So oh man, Cody is becoming a better swimmer, he's
Speaker 7: becoming a cooler guy, but of course.
Speaker 1: He is failing. He's not a good student, so he's failing.
Speaker 2: They're about to do marine biology and he's paired with Jess,
Speaker 2: who's the nerd who can't swim but turns out to
Speaker 2: be a big marine biology nerd geek, which I kind
Speaker 2: of like marine biology too, so I was I was
Speaker 2: right on. He even mentions dungeon dragons. This is back
Speaker 2: in ninety nine, This isn't when it's popular. So I
Speaker 2: was like, yes, good for you, Jess, you and I
Speaker 2: would be friends. So they make a deal. I will
Speaker 2: that the typical it's happens in Camp Buy Me Love
Speaker 2: happens in every movie like this. The jock makes a
Speaker 2: deal with the nerd. I will teach you something, jockey,
Speaker 2: you will teach me something nerdy. So he's gonna teach
Speaker 2: them how to swim. I'm going to teach you how
Speaker 2: to how to be a better student. This is also
Speaker 2: where we start to see Cody's unfortunate drinking problem.
Speaker 3: Okay, but did you get thirsty watching this movie? I
Speaker 3: dressed that for like this size.
Speaker 1: I probably dreank.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: He was making me thirsty. It was like, geez, Cody,
Speaker 3: like I had.
Speaker 1: A problem with this. I would have done.
Speaker 2: I would have progressed it to the point of then
Speaker 2: doing what they do on a lot of shows where
Speaker 2: you lift up the gallon of water and you have
Speaker 2: a tube in your arm, so that's where the water goes.
Speaker 1: So it looks like you're chugging.
Speaker 2: I would love to have seen him do an entire
Speaker 2: gallon in one chug, where it just looks like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, how is this even possible, as opposed to
Speaker 2: just because in my head, I'm thinking diabetes when you're
Speaker 2: this thirsty.
Speaker 1: So I would have made.
Speaker 4: It so sanitary.
Speaker 3: Oh you know nineteen nineties where you actually drank out
Speaker 3: of that watercause you do not do that anymore. You drink,
Speaker 3: you actually drink from the water fountain.
Speaker 4: Gross.
Speaker 1: No, water fountain was actually a step up.
Speaker 2: We spent most of our time drinking out of a
Speaker 2: hose in the seventies and eighties, and that's how it
Speaker 2: should have been.
Speaker 3: Well at school, you have water fountains at school, of.
Speaker 1: Course we did. It was great. That's now they have.
Speaker 4: Those their hydras stations.
Speaker 1: For the love of god, hydro station.
Speaker 3: Do you ever have to drink out of a like
Speaker 3: a one of those things?
Speaker 2: I can't say they're they're wonderful. So, yes, he's starting
Speaker 2: to drink non stop water. He just kept drinking, drinking,
Speaker 2: drinkings like cant stop. Thirty to forty of this movie,
Speaker 2: he's just chugging walk So finally he says, it's his
Speaker 2: birthdays coming up. He's again just guzzling his hdo his girlfriend,
Speaker 2: which we assume is what she is. Samantha comes in,
Speaker 2: gives him his present and then says, I have something
Speaker 2: else for you, and leans in for it.
Speaker 3: Gives him a present of a picture frame of her,
Speaker 3: of just her.
Speaker 1: Was it was cute?
Speaker 3: No, you do not you can do a picture of
Speaker 3: you and him together, but here's.
Speaker 4: The fictured frame of me.
Speaker 1: It's cute.
Speaker 4: Samantha get at it.
Speaker 1: When Sabrina lost sam right there, heavy birthday, I think
Speaker 1: it's sweet.
Speaker 2: Uh so, yeah, So they try to kiss and apparently
Speaker 2: mermaids are also electrified.
Speaker 3: He didn't know that about I don't know. This was
Speaker 3: a learning experience for.
Speaker 1: Me, shocks her.
Speaker 2: They get at a little and she's like, well that
Speaker 2: was weird, and he was essentially like, I know, that's
Speaker 2: sorry about that. Let's try again, and she walks away
Speaker 2: and says maybe at your next birthday.
Speaker 3: Wow, Hey that's okay. Yeah, no more kissing.
Speaker 1: No more.
Speaker 2: They didn't do the first kiss. She got electrocuted and
Speaker 2: that was it. She's not a great girlfriend, Let's be honest. Now,
Speaker 2: there's times in this movie where it's like, what are
Speaker 2: you thinking from.
Speaker 4: In the start of the trend?
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, okay. So now we'll get into the parents
Speaker 2: a little bit because we talked about this. So we've
Speaker 2: got Dave Coolier and Lisa Stall who played Cody's adoptive parents.
Speaker 2: We didn't mention her up top, but Lisa is a
Speaker 2: former Miami Dolphins cheerleader and a Price is Right model
Speaker 2: who also played the scorned girlfriend in George Michael's Careless
Speaker 2: Whisper video. Yes, and for dcom they're actually pretty regular
Speaker 2: loving parents. There's no real notes except the mom, which
Speaker 2: we'll get into later, who has one thing where I'm like, wait, huh.
Speaker 4: I've got a couple of them, but we'll do them later.
Speaker 1: We'll do them when we get to her. Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So even though his parents are pretty good, he keeps,
Speaker 2: at least for Disney for they're a plus for Disney
Speaker 2: Channel parents.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he keeps having these vivid.
Speaker 2: Dreams of being underwater and meeting a mermaid that all
Speaker 2: seems very very familiar to him. In his dreams, he
Speaker 2: doesn't need to come up for any air. He feels
Speaker 2: very much at home in the ocean. And then another
Speaker 2: thing comes up, which I didn't realize about mermaids, which
Speaker 2: also to me doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Where his hands get really sticky.
Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't understand that either, not webbed, but sticky. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a part Spider Man situation that happens when you
Speaker 3: become a mermaid. I guess there is, and I can
Speaker 3: scale walls.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to take this to a gross place
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: I swear I'm not.
Speaker 2: But when they keep talking about him going through puberty
Speaker 2: and then this twelve year old just has sticky palms,
Speaker 2: it really threw me. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: take it, but it was weird.
Speaker 1: It was weird to me.
Speaker 2: Why underwater do you need sticky hands is to catch fish?
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I didn't get the sticky hands.
Speaker 2: I didn't get the sticky hands.
Speaker 3: Because it's not like fish are sticky, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's I don't know it was. Maybe there's something
Speaker 2: to do with pirates booty.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But he so he is getting Spider Man hands and
Speaker 2: developing really uh colorful scales and so which are.
Speaker 4: Great when you think about the makeup artists.
Speaker 1: It looked really good.
Speaker 4: They looked awesome.
Speaker 1: They I thought they were kind of shimmered in the
Speaker 1: light and they looked scaly. And it worked. It really
Speaker 1: did it work, especially for a d com. Uh, it
Speaker 1: was good.
Speaker 2: So he's thirsty all the time, the scales are coming
Speaker 2: and then disappearing.
Speaker 1: He's wondering.
Speaker 2: So this is where we find out that while he
Speaker 2: might not know his origin story, he knows he's been adopted.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I noted that we are thirty six minutes
Speaker 3: into this movie, yep, before we even address.
Speaker 1: The mom the origin.
Speaker 3: How is everyone related?
Speaker 1: Right? I felt the same.
Speaker 3: Thirty six minutes felt a long time. I had no
Speaker 3: idea what he knew, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if he knew the whole story, like
Speaker 2: do you know that you were found in the ocean?
Speaker 3: You know, if he was going to be told the
Speaker 3: way the Luck of the Irish was told, Hey you're Irish, Well.
Speaker 1: We have something very important to tell you. You're Irish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so thirty six minutes seemed a long time before
Speaker 3: they addressed this.
Speaker 1: I agree with you one thousand percent.
Speaker 2: It was it felt oh and then it felt like
Speaker 2: it was just kind of thrown out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he says out there.
Speaker 3: And moved right along very.
Speaker 1: Rightly, push push, pasted it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Cody, he wonders if he inherited whatever he's going through,
Speaker 2: maybe from his real parents, and he wants to see
Speaker 2: a doctor. And this is where the mom yes, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I am totally against doctors. No doctor
Speaker 2: will ever put their hands on my child. And she
Speaker 2: calls them all quacks with stethoscopes, so anti doctor that
Speaker 2: your son is growing gills and going through it literally
Speaker 2: telling you, mom, I feel terrible. I want to see
Speaker 2: a doctor, and she's saying, you're not going to see
Speaker 2: a doctor.
Speaker 3: Now. I do have friends who are very against certain
Speaker 3: things with doctors, you know, and that, okay, come up
Speaker 3: a lot over the last you know, four years especially,
Speaker 3: but this was like, on a whole other level. I
Speaker 3: don't want you to see a doctor. I don't even
Speaker 3: want them to be in the same room with you
Speaker 3: because I get some type of weird disease from it
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: It was. Everybody makes their own, their own personal decisions
Speaker 2: when it comes to doctors. I understand that. I get
Speaker 2: that everyone has to take their own path. I also
Speaker 2: get the combination of Eastern and Western medicines maybe working together,
Speaker 2: where she says there's natural things. Totally understand that.
Speaker 1: I get that as well.
Speaker 2: They took this to the extreme level of this kid
Speaker 2: would be bleeding out and she's like, I'm not taking
Speaker 2: into a doctor.
Speaker 1: It was very, very strange.
Speaker 2: But then the parents walk in and literally find him
Speaker 2: crawling on the ceiling like Spider Man and with scales
Speaker 2: appearing much more frequently. And now he asks his friend Jess,
Speaker 2: the marine biologist, what's going on with me. Jess takes
Speaker 2: a little bit of sample of the scales, does kind
Speaker 2: of some of his own biology, which thank god for Jess.
Speaker 1: Who's keeping us moving along.
Speaker 2: Says, I think I have a logical expormation for this.
Speaker 1: You're a merman.
Speaker 2: And they're like, he's like wait what, and he's like, no,
Speaker 2: I think this is what it is. I think you're
Speaker 2: a merman.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: His dad, being a mermaid hunter, has all this kind
Speaker 2: of folklore around the house, so he's going back and
Speaker 2: referencing kind of the books and maps and stuff that
Speaker 2: his dad has collected. So he's putting together the fact
Speaker 2: that he even finds something. He finds a specific thing
Speaker 2: saying after when you turn thirteen, your body starts to
Speaker 2: change and you become more mermaidish mermanish.
Speaker 3: That's where we found out this it's like a normal thing. Yes,
Speaker 3: more people the age of thirteen, and then you also
Speaker 3: do see that it's more and more at this point
Speaker 3: in the movie that you see Jess has a very
Speaker 3: he's very cautious when it comes to his dad and
Speaker 3: well as in his dad's all this you know knowledge,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't want to bring it to his dad
Speaker 3: because he's not sure what his dad's going to.
Speaker 1: Do with yours.
Speaker 4: Yes, so you see this hesitation of what you know.
Speaker 3: He's looking through his dad's papers trying to find some information,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't really want to tell his dad because
Speaker 3: he's worried about what his dad's going to do. His
Speaker 3: dad's such an extremist when it comes to murpeople.
Speaker 2: That was actually my favorite scene of the movie because
Speaker 2: I loved how both of those characters and the acting
Speaker 2: was great in the scene. Both of those characters took
Speaker 2: it as an olive branch to each other to have
Speaker 2: a conversation just father and son and reach out and connect,
Speaker 2: and they both gave each other an out like no,
Speaker 2: I can leave and let you watch your stuff. And
Speaker 2: he's like, well, wait, I have a question and he's like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't ask you any questions. It's like, no, ask
Speaker 2: me question.
Speaker 1: And so they.
Speaker 2: Both took the opportunity to have a scene as father
Speaker 2: and son. And I thought it was very very sweet,
Speaker 2: really nice. I like this and I liked it quite
Speaker 2: a bit.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: But this is when Jess so that this is what happening.
Speaker 2: We find out that happens Merman start to transition into
Speaker 2: her people when they turn thirteen. And while they're discussing it,
Speaker 2: Jess's dad, Big John, who we just talked about, overhears them,
Speaker 2: and his water conspiracy brain is once again active when
Speaker 2: Cody finds out that he was discovered on a boat,
Speaker 2: which could have been helpful information as you notice the
Speaker 2: scales growing on your body. Wait a second, I was
Speaker 2: I was found wrapped in a fishing net on your boat.
Speaker 2: Maybe something that could have helped me in the in
Speaker 2: the in the in the past. Yes, yes, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: So Dave Kooyer is still trying to get his wife
Speaker 2: to allowther Son to visit a specialist, and Cody overhears them.
Speaker 2: Uh and it sends him off to the ocean just
Speaker 2: to escape, and he starts.
Speaker 1: Swimming like a fish. He's spinning around at top speeds.
Speaker 2: He then jumps in the air like a dolphin, and
Speaker 2: his mermaid mom sees it off from afar, and she's
Speaker 2: just as proud as a mythical amphibian can be. I
Speaker 2: also don't believe they're mythical. I believe they're all over
Speaker 2: the place and we're all mur people at heart.
Speaker 3: I loved that scene that was me in my pool
Speaker 3: when I was little. I was in the pool every
Speaker 3: day and I found someone had been filming me.
Speaker 1: Were you just dolphining it all day long? Doing the
Speaker 1: dolphin all night?
Speaker 3: Yes, I would have my diving rings. I'd put them
Speaker 3: on my ankles so I could do actual mermaids swimming.
Speaker 3: But like when he's looking like he just like spastically
Speaker 3: dancy and swirling.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would give so much money to see a
Speaker 2: video of you doing that as a kid.
Speaker 1: I really would.
Speaker 3: I wish they're advertags just so funny because it really
Speaker 3: took me back to the That's.
Speaker 1: Like, that was me, that was me. Oh great, Yes,
Speaker 1: I want to see the film this guy.
Speaker 3: Thank god, there's no film of me spazzying out.
Speaker 2: I do I want to see you going after the
Speaker 2: rings Jess who he's still teaching how to swim, and
Speaker 2: his parents are still the only people in his life
Speaker 2: that know. So the state championship creates a real problem
Speaker 2: for Cody because we've now established anytime actually he can't
Speaker 2: really control it. So sometimes when he gets wet, he
Speaker 2: gets covered in scales. Sometimes when he gets wet, nothing happens,
Speaker 2: but he doesn't know which one it's going to be.
Speaker 2: So with the state champions coming up, it's if he
Speaker 2: gets in the water. There's absolutely no way of saying
Speaker 2: what could happen. But he's also completely said on competing
Speaker 2: because he wants to beat Sean because it will always
Speaker 2: come in second, even though he can still be a.
Speaker 4: Fair sure get that first place, Cody, you get it.
Speaker 2: So he goes to the to the to the race
Speaker 2: swims obviously. Even though now this is so this entire movie,
Speaker 2: I think they missed a big mark here because now
Speaker 2: he's coming into his mermaid own. He's flipping, swimming, doing
Speaker 2: all this stuff. He has become a monster swimmer and
Speaker 2: still only beat Sean by a second. This story should
Speaker 2: be about Sean the incredible swimmer.
Speaker 3: I was that he is now an almost merman. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but he still beats him by like this much.
Speaker 1: This movie should be about how good Sean is.
Speaker 3: Right, Sean is the Michael Phelps of this movie.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it. Sean Phelps was his last name. No
Speaker 1: one knew that.
Speaker 3: How is he just? He should have been lapping him? Yeah,
Speaker 3: and Sean being so confused in the pool, he just
Speaker 3: stopped exactly.
Speaker 2: The poster should just be a picture Sean, and the
Speaker 2: tagline should be a mermaid only beat him by a second?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm I mean this this movie should
Speaker 2: be about how good sewn.
Speaker 3: I know I could not. That's definitely something I wrote down.
Speaker 3: Just how is that possible?
Speaker 1: Big John, though, is in the stands and notices Cody.
Speaker 3: With his creepy binoculars.
Speaker 2: He's got creep binoculars for no reason, and Cody comes
Speaker 2: up with full like fins on both arms.
Speaker 1: Now he's officially changing.
Speaker 2: He realizes people are looking at him, and so he
Speaker 2: uses his electric ability to short out the entire place,
Speaker 2: causing a panic, right.
Speaker 4: Which would have shocked everyone in the water.
Speaker 2: Everyone would have been yep, everyone would have been dead.
Speaker 2: But not he can control it.
Speaker 4: Apparently apparently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very very.
Speaker 3: Very quick thinking though, just let me use my electricity.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, So, now Sean knows, his girlfriend knows and
Speaker 2: passes out when she sees his chan Let's put it
Speaker 2: this way, Sean doesn't necessarily know he's a Merman, but
Speaker 2: thinks he's on steroids or cheating in some way, shape
Speaker 2: or form.
Speaker 3: But Sean was the closest one to.
Speaker 1: Him, to him.
Speaker 2: But Sean is also again concentrating on his Olympic dreams,
Speaker 2: of which he has several, because he's that good a swimmer.
Speaker 2: This is the Sewan story, and that's the movie I'm
Speaker 2: waiting for. Okay, thirteenth year two. This time is Sean's gym.
Speaker 1: His girlfriend comes over.
Speaker 2: She passes out when she sees his body change, which
Speaker 2: is exactly the scenario you want when your girlfriend sees
Speaker 2: your body for the first time, and so it puts
Speaker 2: a wrinkle.
Speaker 1: In their relationship. I would say, would you date a merman, Sabrina, I.
Speaker 3: Can understand the shock in aw she went through. Sure,
Speaker 3: it happens so fast. I feel like I might have
Speaker 3: taken a little bit more time in the situation to
Speaker 3: kind of feel out what was happening, but she was
Speaker 3: It was explain to her and.
Speaker 4: She gets right off that couch and she's out.
Speaker 1: I am, she says.
Speaker 3: I will not say anything, but I want none of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want none of you, sir. I am a
Speaker 2: pascatarian and I am.
Speaker 3: Is not the look for me.
Speaker 2: Would you first of all? I love the hand signals.
Speaker 2: Would you date a Murman? Nice guy, he's got a
Speaker 2: good job.
Speaker 3: Can he go in and out of the water, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But for the most part he's got he's got one
Speaker 2: big tail.
Speaker 3: I couldn't date Merman because I can't swim that long.
Speaker 3: These people, even the actors, how, I kept going, how are.
Speaker 4: They doing that?
Speaker 3: The long scenes?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 3: It was it slow mo that they were doing like
Speaker 3: probably because they were underwater for a long time without breathing,
Speaker 3: and I can't do that for very long.
Speaker 2: So that's the only thing holding you back from dating
Speaker 2: a Merman is just so you couldn't breathe underwater.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that's fair.
Speaker 4: But if he could teach me or something, yeah.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 2: In Splash, Tom Hanks is finding a water as long
Speaker 2: as he's with her, So maybe it's that.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, Okay, okay, so there's just it we require
Speaker 3: what just a lot of making out.
Speaker 2: I'm into this, Okay, I'm glad to know you're into it.
Speaker 2: And I got a guy I want to introduce you to.
Speaker 2: So the school he goes back. The school is now
Speaker 2: turning on Cody because they want to know what's going on,
Speaker 2: but Jess, of course, the steadfast friend who everybody else
Speaker 2: craps on the entire movie, is still by his side.
Speaker 2: That night, Cody, trying to find some solace, takes the
Speaker 2: ocean again and comes face to face with his murmam,
Speaker 2: who obviously has come to see her child now that
Speaker 2: he's thirteen. It is a very beautiful reunion until Big
Speaker 2: John appears again. This man lives on his boat just
Speaker 2: trying to find murr people. He's seen his mermaid target
Speaker 2: again and he will not sleep until she's in this
Speaker 2: huge net that he's made. Jess is obviously terrified to
Speaker 2: see this for his friend, who now has full on fins,
Speaker 2: and he goes to warn his new bestie, but he's
Speaker 2: actually down at the ocean silently communicating with his mermaid mom,
Speaker 2: who wants him to come to the sea. All of
Speaker 2: a sudden he is in excreme, you know. He calls
Speaker 2: his girlfriend over. He's like, I want I got to
Speaker 2: explain some stuff to you. Yes, I'm a merman, but
Speaker 2: we got to talk about some stuff. She comes to
Speaker 2: the comes to the cove. Halfway through their conversation, he
Speaker 2: just falls in absolutely excruciating pain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then pretty good special effects for a d coom.
Speaker 4: I thought so too.
Speaker 1: He gets fish feet.
Speaker 3: He gets fish feet. I didn't understand why they became
Speaker 3: fish feet and not.
Speaker 1: I think he's got to get to that.
Speaker 4: It's like, it's like stage aggression.
Speaker 1: This is the equivalent of stubble before he gets his beard.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's what I would.
Speaker 2: Say, to keep the to keep the puberty metaphor going,
Speaker 2: which I hope you don't have to anymore.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we get to see it and then okay,
Speaker 1: so here, I hate to say this, but I would
Speaker 1: kind of say these special effects, which are practical, look
Speaker 1: better than like, say, the dragon from Descendants, which didn't
Speaker 1: look very good.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, the dragon from Descendants looked very animated.
Speaker 2: Right, but not even kind of the good like kind
Speaker 2: of the cheaper animeate, you know, which obviously was super expensive.
Speaker 1: So they had to use.
Speaker 2: But it makes you wonder why they don't do more
Speaker 2: stuff practically because this was goodish legs look great.
Speaker 3: But this was in an era where they were doing
Speaker 3: a lot of mermaid stuff, so I guess maybe that's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of extra mermaid stuff hanging around.
Speaker 3: Descendants came out during like game of throws, so there
Speaker 3: was a lot of dragons happening as well.
Speaker 2: All right, okay, and dragons are real, so you could
Speaker 2: have used the real dragon.
Speaker 3: I hate talking bad about Descendants.
Speaker 1: Descendence was great. I just think the dragon could have
Speaker 1: been a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, but yes, I thought that the special
Speaker 3: effects with his yes really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just as his mermaid mom comes to save him, bam,
Speaker 2: big John again with his giant net captures them. Yes,
Speaker 2: but he actually captures Cody on the boat, and you
Speaker 2: can tell they make.
Speaker 1: It seem like he's trying to save him. But it's a.
Speaker 3: Hard time to get weird washy washy. Like the beginning,
Speaker 3: you're not really sure exactly what the what the motive.
Speaker 2: Is because he says, relaxed, we're almost to that, we're
Speaker 2: almost to the docks.
Speaker 1: I'll save you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I make a suggestion. I think he's trying
Speaker 5: to just bait the mom.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought, Okay, but when it was first
Speaker 3: happening and he's making that dialogue of we just got
Speaker 3: to get to the dock, but then you realize he
Speaker 3: is just baiting the mom to try to get the
Speaker 3: mom close enough to the boat to capture Okay, which
Speaker 3: he if he would just let he could just put
Speaker 3: Cody in a tank probably and he'd be fine.
Speaker 4: Right, then you'd have your mermaid.
Speaker 5: There's much safer ways.
Speaker 2: But that's what I thought too. He wants to prove
Speaker 2: to people that he that people exist. He has one
Speaker 2: on his.
Speaker 4: Boat, one on your boat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you need the other one? A mermaid
Speaker 2: in hand is better than two in the bush, yeah, which.
Speaker 5: They always say. But I do think also the heat's
Speaker 5: trying to prove that eight years ago he saw one
Speaker 5: thirteen years ago.
Speaker 2: Okay, right, But wouldn't the fact that you have a
Speaker 2: mermaid prove that I have a mermaid?
Speaker 1: So you only got one that's not the one you
Speaker 1: saw thirteen Like who would say that. They'd be like, you.
Speaker 4: Got a mermaid, you got a mermaid?
Speaker 1: Yeah, very strange.
Speaker 2: But he also has a very very very small and
Speaker 2: precise net where unless she's in that two foot radius,
Speaker 2: you're not going to catch her where it's a giant
Speaker 2: fishing boat.
Speaker 1: So I guess did it works?
Speaker 3: It works?
Speaker 2: So he nets her, but then Jess, who wants to
Speaker 2: save his friend's mom and is now able to swim,
Speaker 2: dives underwater.
Speaker 1: Cool moment knife with him and cuts her free.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, after she escapes the net breaks, it wraps
Speaker 2: around Jess's ankle and boom brings him to the bottom
Speaker 2: of the ocean, where he could die. Big John can't
Speaker 2: save him. I don't know why Big John jumps right
Speaker 2: in the water and then doesn't go underwater, just starts
Speaker 2: yelling his name.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing he can swim either. That sure made me sense.
Speaker 3: He didn't jump right in either. It was a little
Speaker 3: there was a little delay. He took a nice long pause, yeah,
Speaker 3: took one of the seven flannels he was wearing off, yeah,
Speaker 3: and then jumped in.
Speaker 1: Yes. And then in my head he just had his
Speaker 1: hair colored and is like, I can't get it.
Speaker 4: Oh, gosh, all right, I guess I have to.
Speaker 2: So he just stayed above the water yelling his son's name.
Speaker 2: As if that would help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Big John can't save him, you know can though.
Speaker 1: Cody pulls him out of.
Speaker 2: The ocean, dives down, gets him out, and then pulls
Speaker 2: him to the side of the water, where then Samantha
Speaker 2: performs CPR and that doesn't work, but he can now
Speaker 2: use his shock ability, which thank god, the sticky ability
Speaker 2: wasn't happening or ripped the kid's chest right out, but
Speaker 2: he shocks them clear and and then he brings them
Speaker 2: back to life. And then, of course the first words
Speaker 2: that Jess has are I think your girlfriend was just
Speaker 2: kissing me, which I thought was actually pretty funny.
Speaker 4: That was funny.
Speaker 2: It was a nice little touching moment where they saved
Speaker 2: Jess's life. The movie ends with Big John thanking Cody
Speaker 2: and completely accepting the Mermaids amongst him. He's now off
Speaker 2: Mermaid patrol, merman patrol. He just wants his son to
Speaker 2: be alive.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: The mermaid mom then appears and does this really weird?
Speaker 2: You can tell she's kind of trying to communicate without speaking,
Speaker 2: but it came off a little.
Speaker 3: Odd, same thing as the beginning. It was the same look. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you're going, what the.
Speaker 4: Heck is what what's happening.
Speaker 3: I don't quite understand what she's trying to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then we get a translation from Cody's mom
Speaker 2: who says she wants you to come with them. Don't worry,
Speaker 2: you'll be back before the school year starts because murd
Speaker 2: people obviously know everything about the school schedule. So she's like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I'll help him pick his classes and we'll
Speaker 2: get what's going on. So she says, we'll be there
Speaker 2: before school starts, and then, uh, Cody leaves. Now here's
Speaker 2: my question, how do you explain to your neighbors and
Speaker 2: everybody else that now your kid's gone. I guess you
Speaker 2: could say it's that grandma's or whatever, and he's gonna
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 3: Went to North Carolina for the summer.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, you're gonna have to make something up
Speaker 2: because he's in the ocean as a mermand. And then
Speaker 2: one of the funniest scenes, I thought, he's in the
Speaker 2: ocean with his mom. He's now fully formed into a murman.
Speaker 2: He jumps out of the water and his hands are
Speaker 2: like this when he comes out of the water, and
Speaker 2: it's because producer Jensen found out that he's holding onto
Speaker 2: a bar pulling him up, and it looks like he's
Speaker 2: holding onto a bar and they just digitize the bar
Speaker 2: out as they're pulling him up like a like a
Speaker 2: like a trapeze, And so they just keep pulling him
Speaker 2: out and dunky him again and pulling him out.
Speaker 1: And he's just holding onto a bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're also I guess assuming once he's with his
Speaker 2: mom for summer mermaid camp camp camp wanta tail.
Speaker 1: When that's done, he then is in full control of
Speaker 1: his mermaidness murmanness. I don't know he can become a
Speaker 1: kid again. Or is he now going to be full
Speaker 1: mermaid in school? Because that's my question. Dance is weird.
Speaker 3: He obviously can't continue to compete in swimming. That's just
Speaker 3: not fair to the rest of the world, right, Or
Speaker 3: is he going to keep can you will he turn
Speaker 3: as soon as he hits water? Does it have to
Speaker 3: be salt water? It's chlorine water with making him sick?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of questions that we Yeah, why
Speaker 2: is chlorine water triggering fis Are there fresh water murr
Speaker 2: people and saltwater people?
Speaker 3: I mean there could be.
Speaker 1: Are they like crocodiles and alligators? I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know there could be, but that's it.
Speaker 2: That that he swims off into the sunset with his
Speaker 2: his non speaking, telepathic mother, leaving his other family on
Speaker 2: the doc hoping to see him again before school starts.
Speaker 2: And that is your film, ladies and gentlemen. Something's fishy.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Thirteenth Year obviously.
Speaker 1: Is what it's called.
Speaker 2: Now let's get into some real reviews, Sabrina, I think
Speaker 2: I did the one star last time, so why don't
Speaker 2: you take the one star this time?
Speaker 1: And it's one of my favorite ones ever.
Speaker 3: All right, our one star comes from Laird b. I'd
Speaker 3: need to see it again. I don't want to say
Speaker 3: anything about it until I see it again.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the whole review. I love that. I won't
Speaker 1: say anything about it until I see it again.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get on here and I'm gonna type this out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it one star.
Speaker 3: I have nothing to say. I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 3: give it a one star exactly. And that's it, all right, Laird,
Speaker 3: thank you, thank you, Laird.
Speaker 2: And now the five star is from dayshana E, who
Speaker 2: said this movie is a great metaphor for the changing
Speaker 2: systems of government over time. It demonstrates very well how
Speaker 2: stress and turmoil can completely change morals and foundational beliefs.
Speaker 2: Ten out of ten. Great movie. I especially like it
Speaker 2: when he goes through fish puberty.
Speaker 3: I kind of says it all breaching the first part
Speaker 3: of this.
Speaker 4: I was what movie did she watch?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the idea that you could somehow
Speaker 2: relate this to the systems of government tied.
Speaker 3: In with some fish puberty, and it's golden.
Speaker 1: I know the second you say that, I'm on board.
Speaker 3: We're good.
Speaker 4: We're good.
Speaker 1: We've got a new game this week, because we've got
Speaker 1: so many games.
Speaker 4: And I love the games.
Speaker 2: Our game this week is called fifty to fifty Site
Speaker 2: And to commemorate the first decom about adults believing in Mermaids,
Speaker 2: We're going to be given a mythical creature and we
Speaker 2: have to decide which of the fifty US states has
Speaker 2: had the most quote unquote credible sightings of this being.
Speaker 1: Will be given multiple choice.
Speaker 2: Once again, Sabrina and I do not know the answers
Speaker 2: to these, and once again Sabrina is going to get
Speaker 2: all of them wrong. So here's the first one, Bigfoot,
Speaker 2: which of these three states have had the most credible
Speaker 2: sightings of Bigfoot?
Speaker 1: Is it Oregon, California or Washington State?
Speaker 4: Washington.
Speaker 5: I don't think this is going to change your opinion,
Speaker 5: but I just want to let you know. In this case,
Speaker 5: it's since the mid nineteen nineties.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oak, So we're going specific? Okay, gotcha, very specific? Okay,
Speaker 2: since the mid ninety nine. You're going to Washington State.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know what Washington?
Speaker 1: I am too.
Speaker 5: All right, well you must have brought her luck. It
Speaker 5: is Washington State coming in. Yes, they had seven hundred
Speaker 5: and thirteen. California had four hundred and sixty one.
Speaker 1: How many in Oregon?
Speaker 5: That was a made up?
Speaker 1: So you just made it up? Okay?
Speaker 5: I thought maybe people in Oregon, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I thought maybe they'd see Bigfoot.
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense maybe too. Through all, he's in
Speaker 1: the likes of Pacific Northwest. He or she?
Speaker 2: Sorry, there's plenty of big feet UFOs. Are they most
Speaker 2: credible sightings in Florida, California or Washington?
Speaker 3: Where's Texas?
Speaker 5: Again? The detail you don't need to know. It's through
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but where's Texas in there?
Speaker 1: Isn't like Texas to shoots him down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, El Paso in Texas. Isn't that like a big
Speaker 3: siding place. Okay, you're thinking of area.
Speaker 5: You're you're thinking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, New Mexico.
Speaker 5: By the way, we can add as a multiple choice,
Speaker 5: but he would learn it's not number one one of those.
Speaker 4: It's not number one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Florida.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Florida.
Speaker 5: Guys, it's our home state, California, and buy a lot. Really, yeah,
Speaker 5: eleven thousand in California, five thousand and second place, Florida.
Speaker 2: I again, I saw one the other night with Sue,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it was something completely earthy, but I
Speaker 2: couldn't tell what it was.
Speaker 1: It was earthly, I'm sure, but I didn't know what
Speaker 1: it was. So it was an unidentified flying object, all right?
Speaker 2: And finally, what state has the most sightings of ghosts?
Speaker 5: And here's your here's your your detail. You don't need
Speaker 5: two thousand and five to twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, specific ghost because I know before two
Speaker 2: thousand and five it would have been Texas. But after
Speaker 2: two thousand and five it's anybody's game. So is it California,
Speaker 2: Missouri or Texas?
Speaker 1: Most credible sighting.
Speaker 3: Missouri's a creepy place at times?
Speaker 4: Is it Missouri?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Texas is big. I'm gonna go with Texas.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's Texas by a hair. They had six eight
Speaker 5: hundred and forty five California six four hundred and forty.
Speaker 5: Sabrina Surrey was just.
Speaker 4: All just made up.
Speaker 3: Dam god.
Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you everybody for playing fifty to fifty
Speaker 2: with us. Fifty fifty seas speak of sees, can we
Speaker 2: do Sabrina sees?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm always looking at the coaches, the
Speaker 3: coach character, of course, and one of the coaches lines
Speaker 3: I had to write down. He says, all right, guys,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say something really important. Winners don't lose.
Speaker 4: And that's it. Now get out there and do your best.
Speaker 1: Great line.
Speaker 4: And he's a great mine coach.
Speaker 3: So fun. We didn't end up getting to the parent moment,
Speaker 3: but the parent moment that was strange to me is okay, fine,
Speaker 3: you're gonna keep him from the state championship. Now everyone
Speaker 3: can understand how important a state championship is to any team.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter they have Sean.
Speaker 3: But you're not gonna tell the coach, you're just gonna
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna think he's not gonna If the
Speaker 3: coach isn't thinking that he's not gonna be there, he's
Speaker 3: obviously gonna sneak out. So the parents really kind of,
Speaker 3: you know, they ended up having a little mishap because
Speaker 3: of their decision.
Speaker 4: I felt in the end, I did.
Speaker 3: Feel that this ending just kind of nothing really happened.
Speaker 3: He left, it was or it was just kind of short.
Speaker 3: And the last thing I wanted to say was when
Speaker 3: I was excited to see Courtney Draper Sam she's in
Speaker 3: this movie.
Speaker 4: I saw her right away.
Speaker 3: Made me feel bad that I had not heard about
Speaker 3: this movie at this point, because you know, I obviously
Speaker 3: you want to support your friends. In her credits that
Speaker 3: we got, she was in Bold and the Beautiful. I
Speaker 3: was her friend in Bold and the Beautiful really, and
Speaker 3: then she was in her other credit that she does,
Speaker 3: like eighty seven episodes of Is the Jersey that was
Speaker 3: on Disney Channel, and that's where I also met That's
Speaker 3: where I met her as well twice.
Speaker 1: So you've worked with her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on both of her main credits, which.
Speaker 4: Is very cool.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, she did Bold and the beautiful.
Speaker 4: I did that after we did.
Speaker 3: The jersey earlier on I believe. But yeah, she was great.
Speaker 3: I thought she was awesome.
Speaker 1: You think in real life she would have a problem
Speaker 1: with more people.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe I think at that age, no
Speaker 3: matter what, middle school's tough.
Speaker 1: It's like it is tough, especially when you're dealing with people.
Speaker 5: You know what she's best known as now, she's the
Speaker 5: voice of like the main character in BioShock Infinite, which
Speaker 5: is like one of those mega hit games. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 5: she plays Elizabeth.
Speaker 2: Is she just the voice or she also? Does she
Speaker 2: do mocap for it? I wonder if she's the actor.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: She tried to smocap for it.
Speaker 5: It's big time though, yeah.
Speaker 1: Huge. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it was great to see her in this movie.
Speaker 3: I thought she was adorable. She did such a great job.
Speaker 3: Like I said, their relationship was kind of funny, that
Speaker 3: the kissing part was kind of you kissed him again
Speaker 3: and oh, Jess, I'm gonna say this really quick. Jess
Speaker 3: reminded me as soon as I saw him as Smalls
Speaker 3: in Sandlot that's what he looked like to me, right,
Speaker 3: And then it killed me at the end that he
Speaker 3: ended up. You know, Smalls falls in the pool and
Speaker 3: then ends up getting CPR by the hot girl in
Speaker 3: the movie Sandlot.
Speaker 1: I've never seen the Sandlot.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: I was literally with Patrick Brenna and all of them
Speaker 2: like this weekend, and I still have never seen the Sandlot.
Speaker 4: That's tragic. That is tragic, I know.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Smalls ends up falling in the pool and
Speaker 3: ends up getting CPR, which is exactly what happens to Jess,
Speaker 3: which I died was because I'm it looks like.
Speaker 4: Small and at the end it ends up coming full circle.
Speaker 4: It was awesome, awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2: I think Smalls was Chauncey Lee apart, I believe, I
Speaker 2: don't know. Well, now we have to rate the movie,
Speaker 2: as everybody knows. Every week we rate our movies on
Speaker 2: a basis of one to ten, one being the worst,
Speaker 2: ten being the best.
Speaker 1: This week here or.
Speaker 2: Option do we want to do? One out of ten,
Speaker 2: fish puberties, one out of ten kid News anchors, one
Speaker 2: out of ten, Kristin Stewart cameos, one out of ten.
Speaker 2: Quacks with stethoscopes also known as doctors, one out of
Speaker 2: ten water guzzling merman or one out of ten, Big
Speaker 2: John mermaid Nets, you pick, what do you want to do?
Speaker 4: I mean this made me. I was just quenched with
Speaker 4: thirst the whole time. So I think we got to
Speaker 4: do Water Guzzling Murmot.
Speaker 1: You got it.
Speaker 2: I think you went first last time? My dad, all right,
Speaker 2: So I did not hate this movie at all. I
Speaker 2: did not love this movie either. It was a movie.
Speaker 2: It was fine, and because of that, I'm gonna give it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it. I'll give it a six because
Speaker 2: it was cute. I'm gonna give this six. Water Guzzling Morman.
Speaker 2: We've certainly seen better, but we have certainly seen worse.
Speaker 2: It's cute, you know. I think the nostalgia factor has
Speaker 2: has kicked this up quite a bit on Collider and
Speaker 2: Entertainment Weekly and some stuff like that, because we've certainly
Speaker 2: seen some better dcoms, but again, we've definitely seen worse.
Speaker 2: The kids are cute, it's fun, a fun romp. A
Speaker 2: lot of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Speaker 2: The special effects are good. I'll give it six.
Speaker 1: Water Guzzling Mormon.
Speaker 3: I'm going to give it a six and a half
Speaker 3: because I did get pretty impressed with the special effects.
Speaker 3: But I can't give it a seven because I felt
Speaker 3: like Dave should have been in it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 3: I would have loved to see his character of some
Speaker 3: sort more. You know, I felt like we saw Captain
Speaker 3: John more than we saw him.
Speaker 1: Big John, Big John. I agree, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Agree, even if he was laying that character and he
Speaker 3: could have gone, you know, super big in the character
Speaker 3: atmosphere or whatever. But so I would have given it
Speaker 3: a seven if I saw it. I got more Dave.
Speaker 3: I needed more day for it to be a seven.
Speaker 3: So six times have not water juzzling Murman for me.
Speaker 2: Well, luckily for everybody out there, you're gonna be happy
Speaker 2: to hear that we aren't quite done with the thirteenth year.
Speaker 1: We're entering year fourteen with our park Opper episode this week.
Speaker 2: And you wanted more Dave, You're gonna get more Dave
Speaker 2: because we get to talk with Dave Koler, the sitcom legend,
Speaker 2: amazing mermaid, dad, all around funny guy, and he's going
Speaker 2: to talk to us about making this movie.
Speaker 1: Let's hear a clip from that now.
Speaker 2: Obviously, at this point in your career, you'd been on
Speaker 2: New heart, you're doing coach full house. I mean, you
Speaker 2: name it. It's one thing after another. But you hadn't
Speaker 2: done a whole lot of films, had you. Was this
Speaker 2: one of your first?
Speaker 6: No, it was actually yes. And actually my first SAG
Speaker 6: job was a Cheech and Chong film and I played
Speaker 6: a guy who I have a long tongue. So in
Speaker 6: my audition I stuck my tongue out and they said, Okay,
Speaker 6: you'll do that in the movie. And it was a
Speaker 6: movie called Things Are Tough all Over. So that was
Speaker 6: actually how I kind of broke into SAG was with
Speaker 6: that movie.
