I don't think I've got one 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:53.680 speeding ticket fifteen years ago? 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.760 Oh my gosh, no, I swear. I it's like whenever 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:03.520 one drops off, it's like not long after that, I 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.480 I'm the worst. Wow, it's bad. It's okay bad, And 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.280 it's been like that. I think I got my license 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.480 and then I got my first ticket within probably that 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:16.679 first year, Like. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.840 Oh man, yeah, well maybe Tim put off the right 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.320 the right thing. 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.679 I know to. To be honest, I just don't like 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.160 driving anymore because I just because. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:26.320 You just assume you're going to be pulled over. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.920 I've gotten a ticket for not start like being at 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.839 a red light and kind of being dazed, I guess, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.399 and not going and I got pulled over for not 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.880 going like as fast as I should have. Like I'm just. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.280 I'm also convinced that certain people are just to track 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.240 the police. That's me Rider Strong, same way, Rider Strong. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.119 It gets tickets. And he's not. He's by no means 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.040 a bad driver nor speed demon. It's just every time 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.440 you're in the car with him, you assume you're going 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:51.120 to be pulled over. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.200 Well, I'm like a combination of both because I am 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.800 a terrible driver and the cops loved correct and I've 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.560 tried all of the excuses like you know, late for 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.880 work or I have to go to the bathroom. I'm 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.600 just and it's like they don't care. But there's other 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.399 friends that get out of them so easily, Yeah, so easily. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.639 Well, next time you get pulled over, tell them you're late. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.560 For Magical Rewinding. Yes, welcome back to the show people, 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.280 We are here once again.

Probably, I've got. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:44.360 Nice women and gentlemen. Start your engines because. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.360 We're talking about the two thousand and three sports d 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.360 com right on track. Yes, a story about teenage sisters 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.519 and their absolute favorite pastime, hot dog racing. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.240 Is that hot rod racing? It's it's it's technically hot rod, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.880 but it's not really a hot rod. It's it's a 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:01.960 drag racing is really what it is. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.600 That's what it looks, specialty drag racing cars. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.480 It's it's another Microworld. We love it. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.399 Yeah, so did you ever want to start racing dangerous 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.440 drag Starce? 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.840 No, It's never been my thing. However, I did get 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.560 a chance to go to the Indy five hundred in 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.880 one of the cars and do a lap around the car, 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.560 not the draft, like not the Indy car, but on 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.000 like a convertible corvette or something, and got to sit 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.600 on the back and do it. And it was like, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.120 I couldn't understand why people would get addicted to wanting this. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.360 This is like the energy the crowd, the sound. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.800 I've heard, it's just really truly amazing. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.920 Yes, yes, it's it's unreal. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.360 I've never been a car racer guy, but I love cars, 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.400 so who knows anyway. This film originally aired on March 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.080 twenty first, two thousand and three, and whether Sabrina wanted 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.800 to race doesn't matter because this one is based on 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.600 a true story. Yes, we've got another double team situation 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:58.320 going on here. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.640 Everybody's favorite movie. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.520 Courtney and Erica Enders, whose childhood dream was to race 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.640 in the NHR Junior Dragster Nationals and break the glass 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.040 ceiling in the boys dominated sport. It's all real people, Yes, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.840 and a bit of a spoiler here. Erica did end 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.240 up turning pro in two thousand and five by participating 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.000 in nhr's Power Aid series. Then in twenty twelve, she 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.400 became the first woman to win it All when she 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.200 defeated Greg Anderson on Live TV, and she'd go on 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.440 to become one of the sport's premier names, now a 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.159 six time eliminator national champ. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:30.880 Totally cool. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.760 Her sister, Courtney no longer races, but has a career 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.279 in the sport. She is Erica's brand manager, and works 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.280 for Elliott Motorsports and Flow Racing, which is a media 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.719 company focused on well, very fast cars. Now, let's not 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.640 get this movie confused with one of our favorites, if 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.760 not our favorite, which is Miracle and Lane two. That 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.560 is soapbox Racing, and that's the dcom starring Frankie Munez. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.839 Though the sports are similar, drag racing is the one 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.240 that will get you killed and many, many, many fatal accidents. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.279 The worst thing that really can happen in soapbox racing 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.960 is you find out, well you're allergic to the soap. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.120 I'm kidding, You'll probably just get bruised if you crash, 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.360 which is which we saw, which we saw Frankie Minaz do. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.039 The Ender Sisters first caught national attention as kids when 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.559 People magazine wrote a feature about them. Then the movie 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.080 was made with the teenagers, and yes they did all 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.240 the stunt driving you see in the film, which is 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.240 pretty awesome. I figured as much, but that's pretty cool. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.080 They also show up in the film in cameos and 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.480 a really neat stat here is that when this decom 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.200 first came out, twenty five percent of drag racers were women, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.920 and now today it is fifty. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.080 Percent half of all drag racers are. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.240 Women, and as usual, this movie's available to stream on 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.920 Disney Plus. Whether you decide to turn off the podcast right 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.159 now to watch or decide to listen to us first, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.120 that's not really any of our business. To be honest, 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.840 we're kind of offended that you even asked us to 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.920 be involved in the process. Have some boundaries for Christ's sake. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.760 And now let's get into the very fun cast. There 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.719 are some really recognizable names up top, which is always 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.440 fun and a reason that this one is still talked about. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.160 But first, before the big race, to participate in a 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.840 little time trial we call a synopsis. Sisters Erica and 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.920 Coordney enders break barriers in the male dominated world drag racing. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.839 But as family tensions rise and competition intensifies, the young 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.120 girls must prove their talent, resilience, and belief in themselves 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.720 to succeed on and off the track. Sabrina, let's push 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.320 the pedal of the metal here. What are your early 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:22.440 thoughts would you think of the film? 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.400 I was actually very excited to watch this. I don't 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.080 remember really watching it. I obviously knew what it was about, 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.599 but the cast itself was something that I was really 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.200 excited to see how they did with the d com. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.599 So I was excited, and to me, I love the 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.880 very beginning where it starts off as our main character 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.159 as a little girl watching her dad and then swiftly 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.840 going into starting to make her dreams come true. I 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.640 was in it from the beginning, like literally locked in 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.000 ready to watch a great dcom. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.159 I kind of feel the same way. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.000 This to me is the ultimate model of dcom based 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:09.040 on a true story, sports related, probably better than Tamed Like. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.120 So I was good and I felt I love that. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.280 It felt, like you said, like a true d coom, 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.160 like what the d coms were formulated as. There was 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.160 no like musical moment that gave it its own sparkle. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.280 It was really focused on the storyline and you know, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.680 the drama, the commitment, the dedication, the passion. I'm in 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.880 let's go wheels are turning, ready to roll. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:33.559 I agree. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.360 I agree, old school Disney kind of concept. We're gonna 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.600 take young We're gonna find kids that are in a 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.520 microworld where they're excelling, and we're gonna make a movie 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:40.960 about them. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:41.560 Dig it. Yes. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.760 Now, for the director, we have a somewhat familiar name, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.360 Dwayne Dunham. He's best known as the acclaimed editor on 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.040 movies like Return of the Jedi. We talked about this 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.120 guy all the time, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.200 Twin Peaks, which you want an Emmy four. But we 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.800 know him as the director of Halloween Town, the thirteenth 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.520 Year Double teamed. Yes, and now you see it. A 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.240 great dcom second stringer if you ask. And as I mentioned, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.560 we have an exciting cast here. First up a power 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.040 name in twenty twenty six Hollywood bre Larson. Yes, Larsen 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.200 was a child actor who we've seen in similar dcom roles, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.200 but now she plays younger sister Courtney. Larson is now 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.200 an Oscar winner for her part in twenty sixteen's Room, 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.440 and has been seen in a lot of movies with 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.760 numbers in their titles, like twenty one, Jump Street, Short 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.560 Term twelve, and Fast ten. But she also appeared in 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.920 TV show's Lesson in Chemistry and soon she'll be the 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.160 voice of Rosalina in the Super Mario sequel. But nowadays 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.680 she's most recognizable as Captain Marvel from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.320 Let's add her to the list of possibly most famous 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.600 to have ever been in a d coom. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.000 Are you a Brie Larson fan? 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.199 You know I didn't recognize her at first, and then 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.080 halfway through the movie, I went, Oh, my gosh, yes, 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:54.280 and I just saw the Super Mario Brother preview, I think, 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.960 and that makes me really excited to know that her 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.760 voice is going to be included in it. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.360 That's really cool. Well I can know her, I don't. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.880 I don't know. I don't know. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.960 I mean shocking to me. 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:07.520 I don't. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.839 But I can tell you I can be the first 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:15.560 one to say that Bree Larsen herself will, under no 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.480 circumstances ever be coming on our podcast. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.240 I can tell you that's like never gonna happen. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.800 So a little bit will Yeah, I wish you would. No, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.040 sometimes you do. And then my old friend Beverly Mitchell, 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:28.840 and I ask who I do know. Beverly Mitchell is 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.160 the lead as Erica Enders. Beverly was very popular at 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.240 the time for her work as Lucy Camden on the 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.480 long running TV drama Seventh Heaven. She also appeared in 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.400 Saw to the Crow, City of Angels and a slew. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.000 Of Christmas movies. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.480 But right now she's one of our podcast peers, she 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.640 recaps Seventh Heaven on Catching Up with the Camdens. Also, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.199 Beverly in this movie is playing Erica, a fifteen year old, 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.640 and in real life she was twenty two. But Beverly 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.520 looked so young it really didn't bump, you know, which 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:54.400 is rare for a daco. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:54.920 Yep. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.640 I know. That's one of the things about this movie 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.160 that I just couldn't get over. I kept going, I 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.440 wonder how old she really is because I remember in 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.040 Seventh Heaven she was playing younger. She's older than Jessica 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.000 bial right, Yes, I think, yeah, I think that was 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.600 a thing. Like she played the younger. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:14.480 Two thousand and three, she was twenty two. I was 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.480 twenty five. Yeah, so yeah, she's not that much younger 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:18.680 than me. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.800 Oh. We won't get too much into her age though. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.040 Oh no, but I'm just saying just she just looks 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.600 so amazing and plays It's great because she's got she 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.240 brings a maturity level she does and her acting abilities 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.160 to so great, and she she does this so well well. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.040 Also, the thing that's amazing is Bree was playing was thirteen, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.200 playing an eleven year old, so the two co stars 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.400 were twenty two and thirteen, so probably didn't hang out 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.480 a whole lot. And then we've got veteran actor John 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.800 Linstrom plays dad Greg with two g's Enders. Lyndstrom has 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.719 shown up on General Hospital as doctor Kevin Collins and 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.560 on and off for forty years, wow, on't off for 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.840 forty years, and somehow starred in nine hundred and eighteen 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.520 episodes of another soap opera called Port Charles. And as 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.360 we all know, anybody who's been on soap opera's, nine 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.800 hundred and eighteen episodes of a soap opera is three 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:08.760 months worth of work. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:09.360 That's it. 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.960 But his first role ever was in the TV movie 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.720 Facts of Life Goes to Paris. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.959 How I've never seen that. I don't understand. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.520 I've never known about that one. Well, we've got to 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:19.480 look at that one. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.920 Then you take the good, you take the bad, you 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.440 take them all to Paris. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.560 Yes, I want to see that. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.480 More recently, you've seen him in BOSH n cis Los 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.440 Angeles Beyond the Gates and True Detective Jody Russell is 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.480 mom Janet Lee, and she is no stranger to Magical rewinders. 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:35.880 You know her from Go Figure. 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.080 She also played the sports mom in that one, so 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.320 Disney has a real plan to type cast her and 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.760 a familiar face for me and Podmets World listeners. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.000 It's Marcus Toji as Randy Jones. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.360 Marcus was a busy child actor, most famously in Karina 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.520 Karina or is it Karina Corinna? It's two names, either 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.880 Karina Karna or Karina Carina, but there's two and Little Giants. 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.440 But would also appear on TV shows like Family Matters, 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.079 Party of Five, and two episodisodes of Boy Meets World. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.000 He is still showing up in Patriot and Workaholics, but 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.280 most of his work is in the field of voiceovers 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.960 like me on shows like Rainbow, Bright Moon Girl and 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.520 Devil Dinosaur and the Legend of Cora. Now, sure drag 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.880 races are fast, but what about this movie fast lane 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.319 or slow lane? What are we talking about when it 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.760 comes to runtime people? The only thing that matters when 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.640 it comes to films, well right on track is the 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:22.240 perfect title. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.360 Because it's eighty nine minutes Bingo baby. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.800 Sure it's off the target, but it's one short, not long. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.280 Thrilled to see it and I approve for the script. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.480 We have two writers. Firstus Sally Nemath. She was predominantly 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:36.360 a law and order writer. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.920 Dun dung, dun, dun dun dud duh. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.959 Sorry, I'm in the middle of watching a bunch of 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.920 law and orders right now, so you have to wonder 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.720 how she was thrown into the Disney Rolodex. No clue, 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.000 but Sally, if you're out there listening, let us know. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.720 But the other credited writer is a little more obvious 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.920 for a dcom. It's Bruce Graham, who also wrote Anastasia, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.080 A Ring of Endless Light, and Tiger Cruz for the studio. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.000 He was also the mind behind the Monkey Hotel Clerk movie, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.160 Dunston Checks in It Has to Be a Fever Dream, 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:04.800 and the nineteen eighty five. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.400 Christian Slater film Twisted. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.240 So let's get out the checker flag because we're taking 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.040 into the Nationals. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.640 It's time to get right on track. We open at dawn. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.200 A suburban garage door opens to reveal a hot rod 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.720 drag racer being everybody's gonna be like, it's not a 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.960 hot rod, but it's a hot rod drag racer for us. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.840 Being wheeled out, a dad is pushing his young daughter 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.439 in the driver's seat while narrating a fictional race. She's 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.680 pretending to drive and win, but now it's time for 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.839 her dad to go. She begs him to tag along, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.320 but she can't this time, and so he drives off 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.480 in a truck towing the hot rod, and Erica waves goodbye, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.440 yelling rock and roll. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.080 Daddy stick him, and then we get our title right 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:45.559 on track. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.760 Now at the track with the dad, Greg Enders getting 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.600 ready to compete on well Track's lane. Two Yes, back 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.320 at the house credits tell us that it's based on 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.400 the life of the Ender sisters, while two chuds yes 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.560 I'm saying chuds on bicycles bully Erica about having train wheels, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.640 but she's not having it. She tells the thug she 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.360 can beat them anytime in a race, and so they 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.760 find themselves the starting line just at the same time 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.800 her father finds himself in the same situation. The green 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.160 flag flies and everyone is off to the races. Greg 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.080 hits the afterburners just as Erica's training wheels pop off. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.400 They both speed off. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.200 Winning their races, then celebrating, and then we jump to 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.240 four years later. There's a lot of time jumps at 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.000 the beginning. Here, a group of high school students is 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.800 working with Clay, and now we see a young lady 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.440 making a perfectly sculpted hot rod. It's Erica, now older, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.720 but just is obsessed with racing. And this is when 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:33.800 I ask myself. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:38.160 Isn't this movie about sisters? We hadn't seen any sisters yet. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.040 That night, Erica begs her mom to join a new 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.760 racing league in her area called the Junior Dragsters. She 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.120 swears it's safe for dad kind of agrees the cars 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.560 only go sixty miles an hour and when you're you know, 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.400 eleven sixties not that much, and she'll be in. 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.440 A fire suit and harness. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.080 But I always told the fire suits are just there 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.040 to keep all your organs in for when you crash. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.320 But her mom, genetly isn't having it. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.400 And then we meet her little sister, Courtney, Yes, sister's here, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.000 who acts like a little snitch and. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.120 Calls racing dangerous while eating ice cream. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.160 Both girls go off to bed so the parents can 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.160 talk out the racing situation alone. Janet knows that racers 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.560 can die, which you know they can, and isn't sure 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.080 what to do. But next were just thrown into her 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.080 first ever NHR junior drag racing event. The track is packed, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.280 and now kids eight to sixteen will finally get the 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.440 chance to race, just like pros. Erica's there so obviously 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.240 her mom folded like a futon. Everything's coming together, but 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.400 her dad is confronted by a redneck blue acid. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.040 Letting a little girl race is a good addia. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:35.960 Oh jeez, my gosh. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.440 And just in case you didn't know she was a 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.600 little girl, her hot rod is pink with enders racing. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.720 Written on the side, and frankly, I thought it was 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:42.760 the coolest looking one there. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.040 I did too. I loved hers. I thought it was awesome, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.720 except for I think they took it one step too 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:54.040 far with what they had, like gold sequence in the inline, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.240 like the in like the inside of the car deck. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.520 Bro oh no, that was just like one step Like yeah, 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.480 I think we could have waited, like you just passed 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.320 on that. The pink, everything pink and black. She looks chic, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.120 she looks ready. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.120 That was cool great. I thought she had the best 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.560 looking car there. Mine, by the way, would be green. 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.280 I decided I had a long conversation with my wife 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:15.600 last night that if I was ever thrown into a 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:16.280 drag racing car. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.080 I'd want to speak green because it's my favorite color. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:19.520 Noted, No, there you go. 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.360 People are even oh, by the way, if you are 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.880 going to get me a late Christmas gift, green hot run, okay, 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.400 people are even heckling. As she walks to the starting 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.160 line to prep the engine, her dad gives her some 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.520 last words of encouragement and tells her if she loses, 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:32.680 she's no longer part. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.880 Of the family. I'm kidding, I added that, and. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.800 The announcers accidentally call her Eric because there's no way 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:38.400 it's a girl. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.840 That would be nuts. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.560 A girl driver genetly is filming it all with her 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.600 giant camcorder, and Erica is about to face Randy Jones. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.240 He's a cute boy who's a little nervous that he'll 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.600 lose to a girl. But then we get red light, 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.320 yellow light, green light, and young Randy does. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.200 Lose to a girl. Erica wins. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.400 Later that day at the track, Eric and her dad 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.640 are celebrating with a little trophy when she notices a 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.520 much bigger one. It's for the winner of the Nationals, 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.919 and she tells her dad one day she's gonna win it. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.480 Her dad keeps her expectations in line, but thinks she 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.800 could win it one day. But any kid who gets 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.720 behind the wheel wants to win the Nationals, and there's 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.639 a difference between wanting something and actually getting it, so 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.040 she has to stay strong, which is exactly what I 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.399 say about eating an entire pumpkin pie in one sitting, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:26.480 which someday I'll be able to do. I'm sorry, I'm 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:31.119 looking off pretending I'm thinking about eating a whole pumpkin pie. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:34.480 Oh my god, as a social clip, if just one 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:39.600 from Costco. I'm really going to have some feelings there. Giant. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.000 They are giant, and someday I can do it, and 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.439 I don't like you stepping on my dreams. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.360 All right, well we'll see. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.119 But you know who is in stepping on Erica's dreams 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.760 her dad, because Erica knows that she'll win the Nationals 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.600 one day, even though Sabena doesn't think I can finish 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.200 the whole pie, but she's going to wait and see. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.400 And then we jumped to seven years later. I did 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.280 not know i'd be doing math for this movie. But fine, 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:00.720 they're now in their forties. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:01.520 I am not. 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.680 Following what's happening with the jumping, but we are back 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.920
