Speaker 1: park Hopper episode. After that incredible talk with mister Riderstrong,
Speaker 1: who joined us for a movie, we all really loved Zombies,
Speaker 1: and I cannot wait to get some more insight and
Speaker 1: some of the kind of the dirt, the deats, the
Speaker 1: tea on what went on on the set of Zombies.

Speaker 3: Oh? It is so great to see you. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much for being here.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 1: You have so much we want to talk about today
Speaker 1: because we are such fans of this movie. I am
Speaker 1: famous for not liking musicals, and this is by far
Speaker 1: my favorite musical decom I've ever seen. Like, yes, ever,
Speaker 1: it was great.
Speaker 4: He doesn't like when people just break into dance and
Speaker 4: just kind of know all the same routine, Like the
Speaker 4: whole musical element is not Will's vibe. And I'm slowly
Speaker 4: getting to him, but you guys just knocked it out
Speaker 4: of the park and I no longer have a job
Speaker 4: to do we've got him as a musical lover.
Speaker 2: I am. I love it. It's great.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about first your audition process. Do you remember
Speaker 4: the audition? Were you in there with anyone?
Speaker 5: Was it just you?
Speaker 6: I do remember before I started. I just have to
Speaker 6: say I love you both so much. You guys shaved
Speaker 6: my entire childhood.
Speaker 5: I'm like, like, you.
Speaker 2: Guys, Oh you're the sweetest. Thank you.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I do remember the auditioning process. I sent
Speaker 6: in a self tape first, and then they brought me
Speaker 6: to producers and then I did one chemistry read with.
Speaker 5: Milo, and then we.
Speaker 6: Were at like the final auditions and I was like, okay,
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm going to book this or not.
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, whatever happens happens. If I
Speaker 6: book it, awesome, If not, that's okay, onto the next whatever,
Speaker 6: We'll see what happens. And then next thing I know,
Speaker 6: I booked it. It kind of happened really fast, like I
Speaker 6: was really excited.
Speaker 5: About the same time.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, oh, like okay, cool, here we go.
Speaker 6: Like I've never had a thing before, so this will
Speaker 6: be really exciting. And I've always wanted to do one
Speaker 6: and to see what it's become. Now, I'm like it,
Speaker 6: I yeah.
Speaker 3: Amazing right now? It was was jump in was before
Speaker 3: this wasn't it?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I was like nine with that one. And even
Speaker 6: with that, I was like, what do you mean I
Speaker 6: booked it?
Speaker 2: That's so crazy.
Speaker 6: And then I got Corbyn Blue, who I was like,
Speaker 6: don't even get me started with that, Like I great
Speaker 6: childhood was completely And with Keky Pommers, I had known
Speaker 6: her most of my life because we're family friends.
Speaker 5: I was like, this is great.
Speaker 6: Eat one of my idols and I get to work
Speaker 6: with a family friend and living the best life. Wow.
Speaker 1: And you were Yeah, you were a d coom vet
Speaker 1: by that point, by your second movie, you were already
Speaker 1: You're in the club.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's amazing. Was Milo when you did the chemistry with? Like,
Speaker 4: was he already on the movie? He was already a
Speaker 4: done thing.
Speaker 2: I so yeah, okay, be.
Speaker 5: Sure because he was the only person that I did
Speaker 5: a chemistry read with.
Speaker 4: Okay, when you did your tape, did they ask you
Speaker 4: for you to also videos? Self dancing? Was dancing and
Speaker 4: singing part of the process at the very beginning, That's
Speaker 4: the thing.
Speaker 6: So I didn't sing in myself tape by sang at
Speaker 6: the audition, not once did they see me dance. So
Speaker 6: I'm like, thankfully I had some dancing experience. And I
Speaker 6: was like, they have no idea, Like what if I
Speaker 6: just get there and cannot dance to save my life?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: We haven't seen jump in yet. That is definitely on
Speaker 4: our list to watch. We've talked to Corbyn's so we
Speaker 4: absolutely we've got to do that one for sure. Do
Speaker 4: you guys dance because it's jump roping? Is there dance
Speaker 4: involved in it?
Speaker 5: Do you think they there was some dancing I did
Speaker 5: not do.
Speaker 2: Maybe they saw that.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, what I'm thinking maybe they saw you in
Speaker 4: the movie. So no, they had Literally they could have
Speaker 4: really made a bad choice.
Speaker 5: That's what was my first thought. I was like, I booked.
Speaker 6: I was like I didn't have to dance, Like they
Speaker 6: don't know, like what if I sucked?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like not saying that.
Speaker 6: I'm like like amazing dance or anything, but I had
Speaker 6: some experience and I was like, wow, like I could
Speaker 6: just go in there and.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: But it is important that you can because the rehearsals
Speaker 4: are very quick and short. You don't have a ton
Speaker 4: of time rehearsing, and if you can't dance, part of choreography,
Speaker 4: the hardest part is being able to remember the moves
Speaker 4: and and if you don't have a background in that,
Speaker 4: for them to just think that you're gonna pick it up,
Speaker 4: you know, in three weeks or whatever, it is wild.
Speaker 3: Actually, the hardest part if you can't dance is the dancing.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but you can maybe fake it, but honestly,
Speaker 4: it's it's like training your.
Speaker 2: Brain to be able.
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, I imagine anyone.
Speaker 4: That gets enough time can somewhat dance. You can teach them.
Speaker 4: There's a whole show it's called Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 4: They show you all the time that you can somewhat
Speaker 4: get through it. But if you don't have enough time,
Speaker 4: you're not going to be able to be able to
Speaker 4: do it. And Kylie, I'm telling you this is including
Speaker 4: my first the first movie that we've rewatched, this is
Speaker 4: my absolute favorite choreography we have seen yet. We've watched Descendants,
Speaker 4: high school musical, teen Beach. This is my favorite choreography.
Speaker 4: The amount of creativity that went into it and the
Speaker 4: style of hip hop that you guys do.
Speaker 2: You have to be that blows me away.
Speaker 4: They didn't make sure that you could dance because it
Speaker 4: was hard choreography.
Speaker 5: Oh hard, because like I like train more so ballet.
Speaker 6: So when I got with the first one, I struggled,
Speaker 6: like I really, I was faked.
Speaker 5: I baked it till I'm like it.
Speaker 3: Was that's really impressive.
Speaker 2: Things you looked amazing. You just like, well, there's a
Speaker 2: specific scene I'm thinking.
Speaker 4: Right now of when you guys are in the like
Speaker 4: zombie bash for the routine.
Speaker 2: Bam, they look so good in it. So good. You
Speaker 2: nailed it. You nailed it, babe, you really did. Thank
Speaker 2: you so good.
Speaker 5: I was so anxious.
Speaker 6: I was like okay, and all the dancers are and
Speaker 6: then I'm like I can't do that, Like I can't.
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is like in the rehearsal space.
Speaker 6: I can follow along and I can kind of keep up,
Speaker 6: but it wasn't until like I got on camera and
Speaker 6: they're like action were like something just kind of like
Speaker 6: oh whoa clicked see and I was like okay, I
Speaker 6: got this, Like I can do it, okay, cool, wow
Speaker 6: the stars in the rehearsal space, I feel like rehearsal time.
Speaker 5: And then on screen. It just kind of like, how.
Speaker 2: Did that happen?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Were you before you, you know, got the film, were
Speaker 1: you a fan of the genre of kind of zombie
Speaker 1: movies and horror movies.
Speaker 3: Was it your vibe or not at all?
Speaker 5: Horror movies?
Speaker 6: Yeah, zombie movies, I guess, But like because at first
Speaker 6: when I when I got the audition, I.
Speaker 5: Was like, zombies interesting, Like is it scary? Like what
Speaker 5: is this? And then when I read the script, I
Speaker 5: was like, Oh, it's not that at all.
Speaker 6: I was like, really it was interesting though, But yeah,
Speaker 6: I am kind of I'm a fan of horror films.
Speaker 5: I like to be scary for sure.
Speaker 6: I think it would have been like cool if there
Speaker 6: was like a scary element to zombies, but then again
Speaker 6: it would I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't think they would have the same.
Speaker 4: Well, when you guys jump into the zombie when your guys'
Speaker 4: wriskpin stopped working and you jump into the zombie mode world.
Speaker 4: As far as where you guys are about to eat
Speaker 4: people's brains, that I think for little kids.
Speaker 2: My daughter is almost four. She started going, oh, like like.
Speaker 4: Looking around, like making sure I was still there, because
Speaker 4: the zombies are about to destroy the world and she's
Speaker 4: nervous now, So that part, I think four kids that
Speaker 4: age was like a little bit of that scary factor.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was a expecting it to be a
Speaker 4: lot more of a scary movie. When the title is zombies.
Speaker 4: I was definitely thinking this is going to be more
Speaker 4: along the lines of an actual scary movie. But yeah
Speaker 4: it was. It was fun and not scary at all.
Speaker 4: What about the music aspect, have you been in music
Speaker 4: for a while? Was rapping new to you or had
Speaker 4: you rapped?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 6: When I tell you, the entire time throughout like the
Speaker 6: before filming, choreography, studio time, like I just felt so
Speaker 6: out of place and constantly doing things that I wasn't
Speaker 6: hundred percent comfortable with, and like every take I do have, like, guys,
Speaker 6: just be honest with me, Like I sound stupid, Like no,
Speaker 6: sound insane.
Speaker 5: I'm like guys, like I thought.
Speaker 6: But I got more and more comfortable with it, so
Speaker 6: like by the time the second, third, fourth came around,
Speaker 6: I was like, okay, cool, like I kind of I
Speaker 6: know what to do. Like it's still a little uncomfortable
Speaker 6: for me, but it's fine. I've always been into music,
Speaker 6: but rapping was never do you sing?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, very cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah. If they threw a rap at me, I I
Speaker 4: I don't know how I would handle that rapping.
Speaker 3: I think you could figure it out.
Speaker 4: I mean I would go for it for sure. I
Speaker 4: just don't know that I would be confident. And I
Speaker 4: think I would be doing the same thing. Does that
Speaker 4: sound no?
Speaker 2: I think we should do again.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 4: I would need a lot of time in the studio
Speaker 4: because I would be so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Where I don't sing at all, and yet I have
Speaker 1: two rap songs out. I you swear to god, I
Speaker 1: have two rap songs out?
Speaker 2: Do you really well?
Speaker 3: I had to.
Speaker 1: I had to do the naked mole rap as 'ren
Speaker 1: stoppable form possible. Okay, so a kid, did you realize, yo,
Speaker 1: there is not Papa halifrom Ron naked all rap, do
Speaker 1: all that? And then and then as a kid on Nickelodeon,
Speaker 1: I was kid fresh and had a rap song there.
Speaker 1: It's all over the internet. I gang, but I had
Speaker 1: to rap, so I rather wish I could sing.
Speaker 3: That was better.
Speaker 1: So you get the role and you have four weeks
Speaker 1: of rehearsal right, yes? And did you get along with
Speaker 1: the cast right away? Because it seemed like the chemistry
Speaker 1: between the cast was phenomenal.
Speaker 6: Honestly, Yes, Okay, So when I went to the studio
Speaker 6: to record our first songs, that's when I ran into Carla.
Speaker 6: And I had known Carla Jeffreys since I was like twelve,
Speaker 6: So when I.
Speaker 5: Saw her, I was like, Carla, what are you doing here?
Speaker 5: She's like, Kylie, but what are you doing here? I
Speaker 5: was like, zombies. She's like me too.
Speaker 6: I was like, yes, right. So we're on the same flight.
Speaker 6: We get there, and we get to our hotel. We
Speaker 6: have together, we have like five bags and we're stuffed
Speaker 6: in this little elevator and the door opens and we
Speaker 6: fall out and we look up and it's Maggi Milo.
Speaker 5: When I tell the whole thing was like a movie
Speaker 5: scene within itself.
Speaker 6: Oh, we're Kylie and Carla and we all just kind
Speaker 6: of hit it off right away. And I feel like
Speaker 6: it's rare that everyone has the same type of humor.
Speaker 6: Everyone's super like non judgmental, none of that. It was
Speaker 6: just like a really fun and comfortable environment. And I,
Speaker 6: although I've always had really good times on set, I
Speaker 6: was always like the youngest, so like I did really
Speaker 6: anyone for me to like really hang out with this time.
Speaker 5: I feel like although we were all different ages, we
Speaker 5: just all chilled right off the back.
Speaker 4: It really shows Yeah, well were the ages do you remember?
Speaker 6: Yes, Meg and Milo were sixteen, and then I believe
Speaker 6: I was twenty or twenty one. And then Carla I
Speaker 6: think was like three years older than me. Okay, I
Speaker 6: think was also three or four years older than me.
Speaker 4: God, I can't believe Milo was that young. He does
Speaker 4: not see sixteen.
Speaker 6: Wow, And even when I see them now, I still
Speaker 6: see them as like they're sixteen.
Speaker 2: Teenagers but crazy. Yeah, wow, so fun. I love that.
Speaker 4: It's great too because we noticed this is one of
Speaker 4: the few dcoms we've seen that didn't have somebody who
Speaker 4: was from one of their TV shows. Yeah, have somebody
Speaker 4: who's already done a bunch. I think you really had
Speaker 4: the most experienced as everyone on the GAS. But so
Speaker 4: it didn't seem like there's probably any like egos or
Speaker 4: anything like. You guys were all just like here to
Speaker 4: have the best Disney Channel experience, just super stoked to
Speaker 4: be on the channel. And you know that's fitting for
Speaker 4: an amazing filming experience.
Speaker 6: Now, that was like what you said, they have no egos,
Speaker 6: Like I think that's what really made it. What it
Speaker 6: was was that we really were just having a really
Speaker 6: good time and we're enjoying being there.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, so fun.
Speaker 3: Can you walk us through kind of a typical rehearsal
Speaker 3: day when you're dancing? I mean, is this an.
Speaker 1: All day thing where you're just working and singing, choreographing,
Speaker 1: dancing all day long? How does something like that work?
Speaker 1: How do your knees not blow out? Even at that age?
Speaker 5: And he's now gone.
Speaker 6: So basically, like most of the time, we would do
Speaker 6: the songs back in La before we left, so the
Speaker 6: first three were in Canada, and so we do the
Speaker 6: recordings here and then fly to Canada do the dance
Speaker 6: rehearsals and like that was almost an everyday thing, like
Speaker 6: five days a week, not crazy long hours, but just
Speaker 6: enough so that we could learn everything, have enough time
Speaker 6: to actually rehearse it all. But I think those were
Speaker 6: like our best times in my opinion, Like those were
Speaker 6: like where you're meeting everyone, you're forming your really close bonds,
Speaker 6: like you're all exhausted. It was tiring, but so much
Speaker 6: fun and like being able to work with other dancers
Speaker 6: who are out of this world and just your mind
Speaker 6: being blown every single day of like what people can do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you guys were working with a lot of
Speaker 4: like breakdancers and like people that were not just dancing,
Speaker 4: they were flipping and doing so many crazy things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was out of.
Speaker 6: This world and like the crazy flexibility and like the bone.
Speaker 6: I'm like, how, like.
Speaker 5: That's one of the coolest experiences of my life for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So now as somebody who knows nothing about this,
Speaker 1: when you walk in your first day to see the choreography,
Speaker 1: are there dancers there that already know it? So you're
Speaker 1: kind of watching the entire routine and then you learn it,
Speaker 1: Like how does that work?
Speaker 4: Sometimes they do that for maybe like kuy Lee or Milo,
Speaker 4: like they'll have the background dancers already have rehearsal and
Speaker 4: know the choreography, and then it's about teaching them and
Speaker 4: putting them in. But I feel like typically you're all
Speaker 4: kind of learning together.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I remember the first day of rehearsal it was
Speaker 6: just us and the choreographers.
Speaker 5: Is kind of like seeing like okay, like what can
Speaker 5: you guys do?
Speaker 3: What can you do? Yeah?
Speaker 5: So he taught us some things and like he was like, okay,
Speaker 5: so you guys like you.
Speaker 6: Guys aren't back right, So so he was like, you
Speaker 6: guys can keep up, Like that's awesome. So he just
Speaker 6: kept teaching us like harder and harder things, and we
Speaker 6: were able to keep up and we got better and better.
Speaker 6: And then I want to say, the second day, they
Speaker 6: brought all the dancers in and then.
Speaker 5: That's what we're kind of like, oh okay, here we go.
Speaker 6: And I feel like some of them already knew it,
Speaker 6: and then a lot of the times we're all kind
Speaker 6: of learning it together, and like they would change things
Speaker 6: as we went based off of what like the director
Speaker 6: wided or what the scene had in store.
Speaker 5: So it was cool.
Speaker 6: And I also like I learned how to adapt quicker
Speaker 6: because like one day we'd learned choreography and it was
Speaker 6: set and then they'd be like, Okay, hold up, it's
Speaker 6: not going to be like this anymore.
Speaker 5: So let's I'm like, oh okay, cool, cool, Like let's
Speaker 5: all right, I'm ready to go out. So that's what
Speaker 5: good learning experience for me was learning to adapt quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You mentioned the director Paul Howen. This is the second
Speaker 4: time you've actually worked with him.
Speaker 2: Because he also did jump in Jump in right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so how is that?
Speaker 4: Did you feel super comfortable having him there because you
Speaker 4: had already worked with him?
Speaker 6: And well, we had a different director for the first
Speaker 6: half of the film and then all came like finish
Speaker 6: it up and we were terrified because we're like wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 6: what's going going on? And then when I saw it,
Speaker 6: I was like, Paul, Yes, okay, cool, Like I know.
Speaker 2: You Everything's good, you guys, it's here.
Speaker 6: Paul's great, Like he's so funny, and like Paul is Paul,
Speaker 6: you know, and he is so funny. And there'll be
Speaker 6: times where like he'd tell you to do something and
Speaker 6: you're like I don't understand, and like it would feel
Speaker 6: like unnatural.
Speaker 5: He's like, look, I know, it feels weird.
Speaker 6: I know, but like just trust me, and you're like okay,
Speaker 6: and then you see it and you're like, okay, I
Speaker 6: see if you get that, that makes someone sense.
Speaker 1: Did you ever find out why they had a different
Speaker 1: director come in halfway through?
Speaker 6: Or I don't fully know I made creative differences or
Speaker 6: like like I I yeah, I have no idea.
Speaker 3: When we're kids on a show, they don't usually tell
Speaker 3: us that stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't ask very many questions, just kind of go, okay, that's.
Speaker 2: Normal, totally normal.
Speaker 1: Did you have a favorite from the film or favorite
Speaker 1: dance routine that you love doing.
Speaker 6: I would say from like the first film, my favorite
Speaker 6: song of course was Someday, Like I'd assessed with it
Speaker 6: from the first moment I heard it. I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: this is the cutest song ever. Yeah, choreography wise, probably bam.
Speaker 6: That was just so much fun and like the tutting
Speaker 6: can't do it now.
Speaker 4: But yes, it was so good. I mean I was
Speaker 4: not expecting that I had. The only thing I really
Speaker 4: knew about Zombies going in was there were cheerleaders, so
Speaker 4: I was ready for that. I wasn't ready for the
Speaker 4: style you guys brought at this point from what we've seen,
Speaker 4: we haven't seen it on the channel yet, so it
Speaker 4: was really awesome. I mean, you guys look like you
Speaker 4: were out there doing America's next best dance crew with
Speaker 4: that Mario Lopez coming out. I mean, you guys look
Speaker 4: so good, so freaking good.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: How long did the makeup sessions take to get you
Speaker 1: all zombified every day?
Speaker 6: About like three hours, so for the first one.
Speaker 5: A lot of it was trial and air and seeing
Speaker 5: like what worked, what didn't work, what would stay on.
Speaker 6: While we were dancing trying out different wigs, Milo dyed
Speaker 6: his hair, so they asked me if i'd be down
Speaker 6: and I was like no, no, no.
Speaker 5: No thanks, sorry, no.
Speaker 6: So finding a wig that somewhat mimicked my natural hair,
Speaker 6: but you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yours, Yours look great. Yours look really really good.
Speaker 4: You know, there was a couple. The little sister's wig
Speaker 4: was terrible. I don't know what happened to her. I
Speaker 4: don't know that sucked.
Speaker 2: You did it? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like say though, for the.
Speaker 6: Fourth one, the wigs are good, okay, yeah, good styles.
Speaker 6: She has to put her hair down for once, like
Speaker 6: like they really went all out, like Rick Ross, who
Speaker 6: was our hairstylist for me and Chandler, like he made
Speaker 6: sure that we were one hundred percent confident in our
Speaker 6: wigs and yeah.
Speaker 5: So yeah, kept up with all of that.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, the little sister was I think the biggest
Speaker 4: one that I recognized. And then the mom's the mom
Speaker 4: has a wig on, right, she has a wig and
Speaker 4: it's so weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know we never realized found we didn't.
Speaker 3: Want to dire hair blonde. I would imagine it's probably
Speaker 3: what it is, right.
Speaker 2: Did the actors have dark hair that plays the mom?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Or is it part of the storyline. We just don't
Speaker 2: know yet.
Speaker 6: Like I believe at first it was part of the
Speaker 6: storyline why the mom wore the wig?
Speaker 4: Okay, and then they cut it maybe yeah, because it
Speaker 4: was clearly a wig that was a real bad one
Speaker 4: that I don't notice any of that stuff that's so
Speaker 4: funny her Okay, but does Addison was hers you wear
Speaker 4: a wig the whole movie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasn't her hair.
Speaker 4: It was it looked like she was wearing a wig
Speaker 4: in the beginning when they you know, they exposed the white.
Speaker 2: But then like for lots of scenes, I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: that's there. She's not wearing a wig. There, that's her air.
Speaker 5: So like the front part, like her bangs, all that
Speaker 5: was her hair, and then the rest.
Speaker 2: Okay, big, Okay.
Speaker 3: We watch movies very differently.
Speaker 2: I thought her hair looked.
Speaker 5: Attention to like everything, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, I know, yeah, I'm the same same.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, So you've got tons of dancers there,
Speaker 1: you've got massive choreography. You've got these huge elaborate sets
Speaker 1: you've rehearsed. Now now you're shooting. Is the shooting going smoothly?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it a difficult shoot? I mean, what was it
Speaker 1: like to actually make the first film?
Speaker 5: It okay, it was fun.
Speaker 6: There were a lot of brutal times, just because very long,
Speaker 6: especially when we did switch directors because we were behind schedule.
Speaker 6: So it's kind of like, is this movie gonna get done?
Speaker 6: I don't know, come out good?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: You're all very unsure. Although we were having so much
Speaker 6: fun and we really loved what we were doing.
Speaker 5: I feel like.
Speaker 6: We could I could speak for kind of everyone, whereas
Speaker 6: we were very unsure of like what the outcome's gonna be.
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm sure not a lot was being explained
Speaker 4: to you either, Like you just knew that you were
Speaker 4: you were supposed to go home last week and you're
Speaker 4: still here and there's like three fourths of the movie
Speaker 4: still like you don't really know why, but that's what's happened,
Speaker 4: and like.
Speaker 6: That's so like we thankfully we did finish in time,
Speaker 6: but thanks to Paul. Paul's very like we'll get things
Speaker 6: done when it needs to get done. So he was
Speaker 6: very quick, quick quick. Sometimes, like I would get like
Speaker 6: three takes in, he's like, all right, cut good, got
Speaker 6: chick to get moving on.
Speaker 5: I was like, wait, no, I think you better.
Speaker 2: He did that to me too. He did that to
Speaker 2: me too. He'd be like, no, that was brilliant. It
Speaker 2: was brilliant. I'm like, no, I think I need to
Speaker 2: and he's like no, no, no, we're good. We're good.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this guy's gonna make me look like garbage.
Speaker 4: I would joke with him after said you know going,
Speaker 4: are you really just gonna And he's like, you don't understand,
Speaker 4: you don't need it as many times as you think
Speaker 4: you get in your head.
Speaker 2: Just we get it done. It's good.
Speaker 5: I'm like all right, yeah, like it was. There were
Speaker 5: a lot of hard times, and there were a lot
Speaker 5: of I don't remember if the first one had a
Speaker 5: lot of night shoots, but I know the second one
Speaker 5: had a lot of night shoots.
Speaker 2: Nights are brutal, so we.
Speaker 5: Were serious at that point.
Speaker 6: Everything's just funny and you're trying hard not to laugh
Speaker 6: during the middle of scenes.
Speaker 3: And are the worst because they are adjictive.
Speaker 2: Yes, they are so bad.
Speaker 3: And like they spread irritated.
Speaker 6: Paul's like, guys, come on, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 3: But it's four o'clock in the morning and we're dressed
Speaker 3: like zombies. Give me a break.
Speaker 2: Oh man, good.
Speaker 5: It came out really well. So like we were all
Speaker 5: like when we saw it for the.
Speaker 6: First time, We're like like, oh, like we did good.
Speaker 4: Guys, Yeah, how was that. Did they bring you in
Speaker 4: to come see it together or or what.
Speaker 6: So we got to have like our pre screening with
Speaker 6: just the cast, and we basically like we were trying
Speaker 6: to be quiet to like actually watch it, but we
Speaker 6: were so excited as we talked through the entire thing,
Speaker 6: just like oh my gosh, Like during this take, like
Speaker 6: we thought like we did a horrible job, but it
Speaker 6: looks good, and we were just really excited. Like I
Speaker 6: don't think we could really contain our excitement because we
Speaker 6: were just like, in all honesty, in my head, I
Speaker 6: was like, this is not going to go well.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, gosh, Like, oh, that's a lot of anxiety
Speaker 4: to have.
Speaker 5: I'm actually I have.
Speaker 6: I'm a very anxious person as a I was like
Speaker 6: out the entire time, So when I finally got to
Speaker 6: see it, I could like finally breathe, and afterwards I
Speaker 6: was like, oh wait, other people are going to see this,
Speaker 6: and then the anxiety returned.
Speaker 1: So, now did you know before you were shooting the
Speaker 1: movie that it was base Stun a pilot that didn't go.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: So I found that out, like through my own research.
Speaker 6: I was like, what, I watched the pilot. I was like,
Speaker 6: how did they take this and then turn it into this?
Speaker 2: So you got to see the pilot?
Speaker 5: I found it on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Oh for that.
Speaker 5: I was like, I need to find this. Yes, I
Speaker 5: got to see like the whole concept of it. I
Speaker 5: was like interesting.
Speaker 4: I was like, so is it anything like the movie?
Speaker 4: I mean from what there's zero people from the cast
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 6: You know, it didn't seem other than the fact that
Speaker 6: it was like a football star who was turned like
Speaker 6: a zombie, right, Like.
Speaker 2: Wow, but yeah that's wild.
Speaker 1: So the movie's done. You've now seen it. You know
Speaker 1: that you other people have to see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah? How fast were.
Speaker 1: You able to realize that you had a hit on
Speaker 1: your hands and that you you had.
Speaker 3: Something here.
Speaker 5: Along? It took us a long time.
Speaker 6: Really, Yeah, we didn't even know what the first one
Speaker 6: had like was doing. Really because as far as we saw,
Speaker 6: Like none of us watched Disney Channel anymore, so like
Speaker 6: we didn't know if they were like really promoting it
Speaker 6: like that or anything.
Speaker 5: So we had no idea.
Speaker 6: And then when they told us we're doing a second one,
Speaker 6: we're like really like, oh, like wow, okay, so I'm
Speaker 6: assuming the first one did well, but we had no idea.
Speaker 6: And then I feel like it wasn't until we were
Speaker 6: told a third one was gonna happen that we were.
Speaker 7: Like, oh, oh, okay, wow, I mean it was that
Speaker 7: first weekend was like ten million people that watched it,
Speaker 7: and you guys said, no, what no one called you
Speaker 7: to tell you that?
Speaker 5: Nothing For me, I don't remember.
Speaker 4: And wow, personally interesting because I feel like when we talked,
Speaker 4: like with like high school musical, like it just like
Speaker 4: exploded so quickly, and you guys must it must have
Speaker 4: been more of like a like a slow burn. You
Speaker 4: guys were like just building and building. But for them
Speaker 4: to do a second one has to tell you that
Speaker 4: they believed in the project and like cause they weren't sure.
Speaker 4: There was no like hints of a second one in
Speaker 4: the in the movie where we've seen that like with
Speaker 4: Team Beach, I kind of like hint that they're gonna
Speaker 4: be there's gonna be a sequel this. They wanted to
Speaker 4: see how well well it did, and when they greenlit it,
Speaker 4: that's awesome, Like that's so cool.
Speaker 6: When we signed the contract, we signed for a second
Speaker 6: but we were like, well that's just in case, you
Speaker 6: know whatever. But we didn't like sure, and so when
Speaker 6: we found out there was gonna be a second one,
Speaker 6: we're all very excited obviously, Like personally for me, like
Speaker 6: when I do a project, I after it's done, I
Speaker 6: like for my own, like the next yeah, I can't
Speaker 6: look at it.
Speaker 5: I can't. I just can't.
Speaker 6: And so for me, I was like, oh, so it's
Speaker 6: been good, awesome, yay, Like I can't read too into
Speaker 6: it because then I just get very anxious and then
Speaker 6: like I yeah, I just can't. And then I want
Speaker 6: to say. It wasn't until we got Dolls that that
Speaker 6: I think was.
Speaker 5: Like the moment.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, shut up, Like.
Speaker 1: Well did you notice, I mean, were you getting recognized
Speaker 1: more and more when you were when you were going
Speaker 1: out after the film came out. I mean, we're fans
Speaker 1: coming up to you and saying, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: love you.
Speaker 6: Really Yeah, no, And I mean in the movie, like,
Speaker 6: I don't really look like myself, so that's like, you know,
Speaker 6: but no, And maybe I don't go out really anyway.
Speaker 3: That's so you're not.
Speaker 1: Kidding unless there's unless fans are in your own home,
Speaker 1: you're not going to be recognized there you go.
Speaker 5: Even if I go out, no, not like at all.
Speaker 3: So unless anyone's.
Speaker 6: Old it, come up to me and tell me exactly
Speaker 6: what the movie's doing and how it's relating to kids,
Speaker 6: and like I would have never known.
Speaker 3: Wow, man, that's so funny.
Speaker 4: Okay, So, but are you is your daughter a fan?
Speaker 4: Is she watching the cartoon one at least?
Speaker 2: I mean, is she okay? All right?
Speaker 5: Obsessed with the animated like obsessed?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 6: What they have on Disney plus Now About seven times
Speaker 6: through the first time around, I was like, okay, I
Speaker 6: got to watch it. I'm so excited. And you know,
Speaker 6: then the second time she's like again, I was like okay,
Speaker 6: and I was like, okay, like.
Speaker 5: Zombies, I'm like, okay, let's put it on. She's like,
Speaker 5: that's you probably, I'm like it is.
Speaker 2: I love that. That's so cool.
Speaker 3: They asked you to do a voice on the animated
Speaker 3: series yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, so I get to play I play myself again.
Speaker 1: We are playing yourself? Okay, see we haven't. I haven't
Speaker 1: watched the animated series. I only watched the movie. So
Speaker 1: there you're doing the animated series as well.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: That's wonderful.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. That's been a goal of mine. I've
Speaker 5: always wanted to be a cartoon since I was little.
Speaker 3: So like, it's the best.
Speaker 4: I would die to have that. I would die to
Speaker 4: do an animated series, I really would. It would be
Speaker 4: so incredible.
Speaker 5: Oh so much fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like talking to the king of the voiceovers here.
Speaker 4: I mean he's got his resume is like just like
Speaker 4: pages and pages long of.
Speaker 3: His favorite thing ever. So it's the best. Okay.
Speaker 1: So apparently there was an announcement at D twenty three, yes,
Speaker 1: that there is a tour that's going to be happening
Speaker 1: with people from The Descendants and people from Zombies.
Speaker 3: Are you going on tour?
Speaker 2: And we break news right now? Are you going on tour?
Speaker 5: I'm not going on tour.
Speaker 6: Oh, Kylie, I haven't heard anything, so I don't believe
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 3: Do you know anybody who is.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure Freya is Okay, Yeah, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 6: she is. Yes, as far as any I have no idea,
Speaker 6: but there's still a.
Speaker 3: Chance you're going to go on tour.
Speaker 1: Oh did you want to go on tour if you could?
Speaker 2: No, that's a lot when you have kids, it's like
Speaker 2: a total different situation.
Speaker 5: But it would be a lot, and.
Speaker 4: It would be You'd love it. You'd love it, I'll
Speaker 4: tell you now. Seeing fans know all your songs, like many.
Speaker 5: Songs where I could like confidently be like, yeah, guys,
Speaker 5: I'm on tour. Here we go.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like I feel like I like jump in on stage
Speaker 5: for a couple and then like leave.
Speaker 3: That kind of sounds like the best of both worlds.
Speaker 4: Hang on on your bus for a while, come on
Speaker 4: for a couple of minutes, and then chill.
Speaker 2: It'd be good. That would be amazing. I mean it
Speaker 2: is something.
Speaker 4: The energy that a crowd, especially a Disney fan Phil
Speaker 4: Croud brings is unreal.
Speaker 5: I definitely love watch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's them knowing the words you've seen how crazy
Speaker 4: like the moms and dads are are fans because they
Speaker 4: have also seen the movies seven thousand times as you know,
Speaker 4: you know, it's like it's would be incredible. I if
Speaker 4: you could get on that tour, I think you'd have
Speaker 4: a blast. But I do see how that would be
Speaker 4: kind of complicated because touring with children seems like it'd
Speaker 4: be really hard. But there are tons of artists that
Speaker 4: do it, So there's a will, there's a way.
Speaker 1: You have said when you came on, you said that
Speaker 1: you were obviously you watched Sabrina and myself, so you
Speaker 1: grew up as as a fan of Disney and a
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff we did.
Speaker 3: What was your zombies growing up? What did you watch
Speaker 3: over and over again? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What was your decon?
Speaker 1: Wanted to make sure that you saw it and you
Speaker 1: just had it on a loop?
Speaker 4: What would your mom say? Probably like what would your
Speaker 4: parents say? Or whoever watched you? It was like, oh gosh,
Speaker 4: if this girl watches this movie one more freaking time,
Speaker 4: I might it might just be the end of me.
Speaker 6: I don't know, because I feel like I was just
Speaker 6: constantly watching Disney Channel, so I was this whatever came on,
Speaker 6: came on, God it Cheetah girls watched all the time,
Speaker 6: knew all the songs, so like I was always I
Speaker 6: have to there, So like.
Speaker 4: We all okay, which chetah girl were you?
Speaker 2: Who were you?
Speaker 5: How to take turns? Being everyone?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Got it, that's a fair way.
Speaker 6: We're doing that because like with my oldest sister, she
Speaker 6: always had to be Beyonce with Destiny's Child.
Speaker 5: So like with girls, were like, you have to take turns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. They can't always be Beyonce's.
Speaker 6: As far as like animation goes, I was definitely a
Speaker 6: cartoon kid. So my cartoons were my thing that I
Speaker 6: watched all what.
Speaker 3: Did you watch? What were your cartoons?
Speaker 5: Obviously impossible.
Speaker 6: That's why hire wraps like sing it in my head, okay,
Speaker 6: but freaking thing? Yeah, exactly, well, and like I know
Speaker 6: it's I watched a lot of Cartoon Network, so Grim
Speaker 6: Adventures of BILLI and Mandy Nickelodey as well Invader Zim.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Zim was like my shape, my personality for sure.
Speaker 3: That's wowd No, it's great. Are you kidding?
Speaker 5: But like I don't know.
Speaker 6: If I had like a show that I had on
Speaker 6: repeat that my mom was like, okay, turn it.
Speaker 2: Off right, Yeah, okay, Yeah, you're diplomatic.
Speaker 4: You gave everyone equal amounted to opportunity to view on
Speaker 4: your screen.
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. I love it.
Speaker 4: Okay, so with your cast, because we I definitely obviously
Speaker 4: want to talk about the cast.
Speaker 2: Is there a zombie group chat? Do you guys still.
Speaker 3: The chat question? The chat?
Speaker 2: Is there a chat? Do you guys kind of keeping
Speaker 2: in touch constantly?
Speaker 6: As far as like keeping in touch constantly. I feel
Speaker 6: like after the first one did really well at keeping
Speaker 6: in touch. But as we got older, everyone's like lives
Speaker 6: like kids, you know, it gets a little harder to
Speaker 6: keep in touch. But there is still a group chat.
Speaker 6: There's still a chat from like the first film with
Speaker 6: like everyone from the first one. And then we made
Speaker 6: a group chat for the fourth film and Milo called
Speaker 6: it New Zealand because we filmed it in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, the fourth one, Okay, okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we all do our best to check in
Speaker 5: here and there.
Speaker 6: I'm also just like really really bad at reaching out,
Speaker 6: so I will I am absolute crap. But the one
Speaker 6: who was like really really good at checking in and
Speaker 6: making sure, like is Meg.
Speaker 5: Meg is like is the glue with all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure we're going to be I think we're
Speaker 1: actually going to be talking to meg Ah yeah as well,
Speaker 1: And I think Trevor too.
Speaker 5: Trevor is hilarious, Like he's a blast.
Speaker 3: Okay, so other than Eliza.
Speaker 1: Yes, if you had one character from Zombies to spin
Speaker 1: off into their own franchise, who would it be and
Speaker 1: what would the story be?
Speaker 6: Oh, Bucky Trevor's character.
Speaker 2: Yes, great, will love.
Speaker 3: It because I hated him. He was so good.
Speaker 6: He was He's like that one like normally, like when
Speaker 6: there's like the mean character, everyone was like nah, But
Speaker 6: there's just something about Bucky that you can't help but love.
Speaker 4: And he's just funny and like we talk about it
Speaker 4: on our episode, he's not an evil person.
Speaker 2: He's just full of himself. He just ego just can't
Speaker 2: be contained in one room.
Speaker 3: Not evil, ego can be different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just funny. Like everyone's kind of met someone
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: I feel like too, like we're just like, take it
Speaker 4: down five notches, calm down, spin off.
Speaker 2: Yes, he would be a wonderful or something.
Speaker 3: Oh god. Yes.
Speaker 6: And he has his own clothing line and.
Speaker 2: It's a cheer line.
Speaker 3: I love that so much.
Speaker 4: So you brought it up Zombies four. It's called Dawn
Speaker 4: of the Vampires. And how excited are you for this one?
Speaker 6: Is?
Speaker 3: This? Is this?
Speaker 2: Like you got to kind of rate them, right, Well,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: If you're in New Zealand, man, you're like shooting Lord
Speaker 3: of the Rings. Now, yes, you did go on.
Speaker 5: A tour for the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit.
Speaker 3: Town. Yes, O so fun and I'm so jealous.
Speaker 5: So after I went, I was like, maybe I should
Speaker 5: see it.
Speaker 1: Yes, and now you've watched it several times and you
Speaker 1: like it, right, I.
Speaker 2: Still only one answer?
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, I promise you I'm gonna watch it
Speaker 6: because walking through the whole town, I was like, this
Speaker 6: is amazing, and like seeing how they filmed everything, I
Speaker 6: was it was really really cool.
Speaker 5: Cool, So I can join the excitement with everyone.
Speaker 1: I watched all three of them again a week ago,
Speaker 1: like literally a week ago. There's so it's it's changed filmmaking,
Speaker 1: it really did.
Speaker 3: You're gonna oh, you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 2: Wait, so would this be your favorite one so far?
Speaker 2: Then Zombie four?
Speaker 6: That's hard because like they're all really really different as
Speaker 6: far as experiences go. So like obviously being able to
Speaker 6: go to New Zealand was out of this world, like yeah,
Speaker 6: so much fun.
Speaker 3: And a short flight like when I flew there.
Speaker 5: I flew alone.
Speaker 6: I was there alone for like the first two weeks,
Speaker 6: and then my husband and daughter came out and then
Speaker 6: we all flew back together.
Speaker 5: And like, she does really well on flights, but it
Speaker 5: was long.
Speaker 1: No, forget adults can barely do that flight. Forget a child.
Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy.
Speaker 4: Live.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: As soon as I got on the flight, they like champagne.
Speaker 6: I was like, yes, thank you, I had red wine
Speaker 6: and then I had a hot chocolate.
Speaker 5: When I say, I knocked out right away and just
Speaker 5: kind of slept the entire time. That's what I did.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 5: I was like, I need to be out.
Speaker 3: That is the problem with that flight though, or the
Speaker 3: flight to Australia.
Speaker 1: It's like you get knocked out, you wake up, You're like,
Speaker 1: I just slept for nine hours.
Speaker 3: How do I still have fourteen hours left on this flight?
Speaker 2: Seriously? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: H do you still get carted every time you ask
Speaker 3: for alcohol?
Speaker 1: That's all that went through my head is when you
Speaker 1: said you had champagne wine and the flight.
Speaker 5: I normally do yes, but they're like, here you go.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, nice, oh man, that is
Speaker 1: so funny. Okay, so we have only seen the first one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we came up with with with kind of a
Speaker 1: theory about because first we started with the idea that
Speaker 1: it was a pilot that was called Zombies and Cheerleaders,
Speaker 1: and then so we got into a whole conversation about
Speaker 1: is that actually a better title, and then we realized
Speaker 1: that the z that the zombies, it's broken up like
Speaker 1: z dash oh dash. And then we had a theory
Speaker 1: is that because of the cheerleaders. So it's like, give
Speaker 1: me a z give me an o.
Speaker 3: Yes, did we get it right? Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, perfect, It's like, are good at this?
Speaker 5: You said that that. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Was I think Ryder Strong is the one who came
Speaker 1: up with that, is like, oh, of course, of course
Speaker 1: that's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a cheer we're cheering zombies.
Speaker 4: Thank god, that's not how you have to say it
Speaker 4: all the time though, when we're watching z oh thank god.
Speaker 2: We could just call it zombies. That would be so crazy.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 1: Okay, So last question, and it's an important one and
Speaker 1: when we ask everybody, and by that I mean we've
Speaker 1: done it twice now because we should have been asking everybody,
Speaker 1: but have completely forgotten to do it. What is your
Speaker 1: and you don't have to say anything that we did.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite dcom of all time? And you
Speaker 1: can't pick your own?
Speaker 5: I own?
Speaker 1: You mean, of course you would pick Zombies. Of course
Speaker 1: you would.
Speaker 6: Yeah, wooh, okay, it's between the Color of Friendship.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's one of our favorites too, and.
Speaker 5: Oh god, there's so many. I think I'll have to
Speaker 5: go with the Color of Friendship because there's pinus.
Speaker 3: On and I love and answer Xenon's great.
Speaker 6: Xenona for the Color of Friendship was just not only
Speaker 6: was it educational and like very like like it it's huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 4: It was like boundary breaking and the actresses in it
Speaker 4: are incredible.
Speaker 3: I might have given that a ten. Did I give
Speaker 3: that a ten?
Speaker 2: I know I did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: We rate every one of the movies, and I think
Speaker 1: I've only given one ten. It was for the Color Friendship.
Speaker 3: It's so good.
Speaker 1: By the way, Zombies got a nine point five. But
Speaker 1: Color Friendship when we learned about the story and about
Speaker 1: how in real life they think that the girl was
Speaker 1: killed when she went back to South Africa, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: she became a fighter against apartheid and then she disappeared.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that rocked us.
Speaker 3: That whole story rocks.
Speaker 4: Such a good message, and it's like a perfect example
Speaker 4: of how the channel just knows how to handle things
Speaker 4: in such a great way that everyone can really grab.
Speaker 1: They didn't at first. They had to fight to get
Speaker 1: it on. Remember, had to fight to get the movie on.
Speaker 1: They didn't want it at first. Nobody wanted this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so they finally got it on the air and
Speaker 1: it became what it was. I think it was your
Speaker 1: first Emmy winner, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, one an Emmy and it was just so good,
Speaker 2: so crazy.
Speaker 6: It's a great answer I guess the like what it's
Speaker 6: all about, Like it can be very heavy, but I
Speaker 6: felt like they did a really good job at making
Speaker 6: it digestible for like kids. Yes, I was able to
Speaker 6: like watch it understand all of it, and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 6: this best movie ever. Like I can't wait until Grayson's
Speaker 6: old enough I can be like, all right, sit down
Speaker 6: and watch this.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3: How old is Grayson now?
Speaker 5: She just turned three?
Speaker 1: She just turned three, Okay, and so we must be
Speaker 1: big into the Disney Channel stuff.
Speaker 6: Then huge everything Disney loves Disney princesses. I've seen Frozen
Speaker 6: fifty times one. I know all the songs, I'm sure,
Speaker 6: so like every five she was like, all right, I'm Elsa,
Speaker 6: your Anna.
Speaker 5: I'm like okay. I was like, so, will I ever
Speaker 5: get to be Elsa?
Speaker 6: Or She's like.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm Beyonce. You're the rest of the day.
Speaker 5: She's on, I'm Hans.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, man, Well, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: dress much. Is there any chance we could rope you

Speaker 3: Please? Okay good?
Speaker 1: And we might have to do at some point we
Speaker 1: might have to do a rewatch of the animated series too,
Speaker 1: so we might have to back in.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for those.
Speaker 4: I actually that's what I clicked on first when I
Speaker 4: when I searched zombies, that came up first, so I
Speaker 4: clicked on it and started I'm like.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: No, this is right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it does look so cute, and I'm Monroe.
Speaker 4: My daughter watched zombies with with me on this one.
Speaker 4: She tries to watch a bunch of them, but she
Speaker 4: usually kind of gets distracted and not geam. The rest
Speaker 4: of it. She watched pretty much the entire one, so
Speaker 4: I think she'll really love the cartoon. So I can't
Speaker 4: wait to have her check that out.

Speaker 3: And we're calling you again. Thank you, thank you you man.
Speaker 3: She is so sweet, she is so cute.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the fact that she would I never
Speaker 1: would have guessed if somebody said to me, who was
Speaker 1: kind of the mama bear and the older one.
Speaker 3: As you're shooting. I never would have cassed her.
Speaker 4: Literally, I would have thought the oldest she was right
Speaker 4: now was like eighteen nineteen right.
Speaker 3: Now, yes, like what I was four when I shot Sawbie.
Speaker 4: When she came on the screen, I was like, oh, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: she's still little.
Speaker 2: How quickly have they done four movies?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Would did they just.
Speaker 3: Walk back to back to back to back to do math?
Speaker 3: Which I don't do well?
Speaker 1: But she said they shot the first one in twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen and she was twenty. Yeah, so crazy that many
Speaker 1: plus this, she's this many, she's a lot, She's this many.
Speaker 2: Now, so fun. I'm interested to see.
Speaker 4: I really can't wait till we start doing sequels because
Speaker 4: it's like I can't either, especially one like this.
Speaker 2: When do we It's interesting that they did sign a contract.
Speaker 2: Now they learned this from High School Musical. They did
Speaker 2: sign a contract for two justin cases. I don't believe
Speaker 2: they thought they were going to do it second one.
Speaker 2: Here's the first one. Here's the thing that amazes me.
Speaker 2: Their biggest franchises are Cheetah Girls. Okay, did more than
Speaker 2: two movies. High School Musical did more than two movies.
Speaker 2: Now zombies doing more than two movies Descendants do? How
Speaker 2: do you still only sign them for two movies? How
Speaker 2: do you not, just in case sign for four?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Well, the way they did the Cheetah Girls, I don't
Speaker 4: even Halloween Town was the only one that I knew
Speaker 4: was like multiple because the Cheetah Girls, we never ever
Speaker 4: thought a second one was going to do because the
Speaker 4: channel didn't do second ones. They didn't done yeah, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So still the second one and
Speaker 4: the third one was not something that we thought would
Speaker 4: really actually end up happening.
Speaker 1: But do you figure everyone knows that now you sign
Speaker 1: a nineteen picture deal like we got your Jill, you're sixty.
Speaker 4: Especially when they've got kids like this cast who didn't
Speaker 4: have They weren't signing Miley cyrus onto.
Speaker 2: You know what I know, they were sign them up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think we cannot forget when we do the sequel
Speaker 1: that TV's depaying Danielle Fisher will be joining us, because
Speaker 1: it was when I say when I'm I'm not lying
Speaker 1: to you when I say, oh yeah, we're doing uh
Speaker 1: you know, magical reline. We're going to be doing a
Speaker 1: bunch of Sabrina and I are going to be doing
Speaker 1: d coms. It was like they both went, I call zombies.
Speaker 1: I call zombies.
Speaker 3: Like it was like right after each other. So Daniel
Speaker 3: behind okay.
Speaker 4: When I when I was, when I was on for
Speaker 4: just doing a promo for us, Yeah, and you brought
Speaker 4: it up. They both their energy about this zombies movie
Speaker 4: got me excited to watch it.
Speaker 3: For me too. It's how I first heard about it.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, okay, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: And it did not disappoint. The movie was awesome.
Speaker 1: And we've got to figure out when we're going to
Speaker 1: do sequels and in what order. My guess is we
Speaker 1: should do the sequels in the order that we watched
Speaker 1: the originals, so she the second Cheeah Girls would be first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my date with President's tatter too. This time it's personal.
Speaker 1: We never did it, but that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: Way we got Halloween Town and Xenon had sequels before
Speaker 1: the Okay.
Speaker 4: See that's oh, I forgot about Xenon. I don't know
Speaker 4: I why that always slips my mind, but yeah, but
Speaker 4: it wasn't like a normal thing.
Speaker 2: Now, I feel like if I were to do a
Speaker 2: first movie on the channel.
Speaker 4: Now, I would be going, there's a good chance, if
Speaker 4: this does well, we'll do a second one, especially.
Speaker 1: Because they're doing these giant tent pole things where they're doing,
Speaker 1: you know, forty million dollar movies, Whereas before it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do three million dollars. Here, go make your movie,
Speaker 1: and then it's like, oh wait, it became big, we'll
Speaker 1: do a second one. Now they're starting with descendants essentially
Speaker 1: knowing they're gonna franchise these things as they do them.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I mean it's gonna be interesting to see
Speaker 4: these tours coming back because when we were doing the
Speaker 4: Cheetah Girls and High School Musical that and Hannah Montana
Speaker 4: had a tour, there was a lot of Disney tours
Speaker 4: circling right and we went you know, we went out
Speaker 4: three times. Then it kind of just went away, like
Speaker 4: the touring stop and no one was really doing tours anymore.
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking now that at d twenty three they
Speaker 4: did it, I'm like, are you going to start doing
Speaker 4: that again?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm going to be front and center at
Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls tour if that happens again.
Speaker 3: You're taking me how I.
Speaker 4: Would literally die to go back on tour. It was
Speaker 4: the time of my life. I loved touring. I figured
Speaker 4: out a way to do it. I would I had
Speaker 4: huge bags under the bus, but I would have a
Speaker 4: carry on that I'd bring on the bus so I
Speaker 4: didn't have to get under the bus to like get
Speaker 4: my clothes out every day. Like you just you know,
Speaker 4: figured it out. I had a chandelier in my bunk.
Speaker 4: I got a chandelier from Darget. Like it's like, oh my.
Speaker 2: Gosh, Monroe. Actually, I'll have to take a picture and
Speaker 2: send it to you.
Speaker 4: I had this tour blanket that I got, which was
Speaker 4: a princess blanket that had.
Speaker 2: A crown that you could wear.
Speaker 4: Yes, and Monroe just recently I pulled it out from
Speaker 4: the closet to give her one day and now she
Speaker 4: loves that thing. She's walking around with it on her
Speaker 4: head all the time. And that's how I was around
Speaker 4: the Arena's.
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to get very very awkward when I
Speaker 1: finally meet her, because when I see it, I'm.
Speaker 3: Stealing itho oh man, She's not gonna like me right
Speaker 3: off the bat, But it is what it is.

Speaker 4: question before we get off. Did you ever think you
Speaker 4: would be giving a nine point five rating to a musical,
Speaker 4: a D com musical.
Speaker 1: No, I did, and I didn't even and it was
Speaker 1: just I never thought we were going to get it out.

Speaker 1: I thought Kylie obviously was phenomenal. Meg was phenomenal. The
Speaker 1: whole cast, I mean, everybody, if you had one line
Speaker 1: the little girl, we didn't talk about the little sister.
Speaker 2: Who was also great.
Speaker 1: Everybody was great, but milo you just when a star

Speaker 3: was so talented.
Speaker 1: And to know that this is the second thing he
Speaker 1: ever did except for a Ghost Whisper episode nine years earlier.

Speaker 3: next one. It's gonna be fun.
