Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh man, will I am excited it is.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
About our movie today, or about something else, or about everything.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I have had a dream for a long time to
have a dance athletic line.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yes, I know it's finally happening. I've been looking on
this for a couple of years. Our VIPs were able
to start ordering on Sunday, and now I'm sitting impatiently
waiting because it is going live tomorrow. I'm really really
excited for this. It's an exclusive dancewear towards you know,

(00:51):
it's it's athletic, but it's really catered to dancers that
really want to elevate their dancing to the next level.
We've got these amazing grips that are on the sides
of the legging that will allow them to do extensions,
you know, all those flexible extensions you like to do. Yeah,
and when you do it, sometimes your legs slips out

(01:12):
of your hand because of the legging, so you sometimes
will scrunch and pull your leg up so that you
can get like skin on skin contact. This you don't
have to do that. You can literally grab it. It's
got actual grip like what football players use.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Smart.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, it's an athletic grip. So I'm so excited and
the colors and the material everything is just like gorgeous.
I'm so proud of this first line and this launch.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well wait, how do I get it for when I'm
going to go dancing? Then how does one find this stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
So you'd go on my page or Sobrey Dance Official
on Instagram and there's a link right there, or you
can go just right to the website as well, Sobrey
Dance Official dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay, cool, because my problem when I'm doing my extensions
is not that my leg slips out of my hand,
It's that my hips slips out of its joint. So
I don't know if that is Do these pants help that?
Or do you still have to dance? They don't teach
you how to dance?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Right, Unfortunately, it does not teach you, gotcha. The official
website is sobriofficial dot com. Nice and so yes, it's
so exciting. Well, I've been so giddy all week. I
just I can't believe this is finally happening.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, that's really cool. Is it just pants? Is it
pants and tops?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Where pants and tops? So it's broad tops. There's a
short one there's a mid and then there's a little
bit of a longer one. We've got Midnight Blue and
then we've got our Onyx Cheetah and our They're nice.

Cool, So everybody go check it out. Go get some
awesome dance clothes. I know I'm gonna get some cuz
hopefully they're going to teach me how to dance, which
maybe they won't.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
They're not miracle workers.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, they're pants. They are not talented and
exactly Well, congratulations on that, and welcome back everybody to
Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab
your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and go back
to your time. And all the houses were smart, the
waves tsunamis, and the pants had little grippy things on me. No,

(03:34):
and the high school's musical I'm Will.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
For Now and I'm Sabrina Brian.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, it's time to tackle a new d coom here
on Magical Rewind and it's one with a very common
theme for kids movies, taking hostages. It's two thousand and
nine's crime comedy Dad Napped. This movie, filled with a
lot of very familiar Disney faces, debuted on February sixteenth,
two thousand and nine, to a large fanfare, actually four

(03:59):
point six million viewers be exact, This was a big
hit for the channel, even besting the huge Nickelodeon Movie
of the Year Spectacular by over thirty nine percent, and frankly,
I'm never gonna watch that, so I won't know which
one's better either way. Here's the thing about this movie, though,
is despite it's Nielsen's success, Dad Nap was not a
favorite for critics, scoring a forty five percent on the

(04:21):
Popcorn Meter, with critic David Neussaer, I think I'm saying
that name right, calling it quote the lowest common denominator
quote end quote, underwhelming second unquote. But we are not
going to let that sway our votes. We are of
the people. And of course, despite these critical insults, it
did get a sequel in the form of a young
adult book. Dad Napped Junior novel was released around the

(04:44):
same time as the movie, so it does appear that
Disney had high hopes for this film. Interesting, Dad Napped
was shot on a very decent decom budget of four
point five million dollars and they shot it in wait
for it. Utah, We're back, baby. I feel like I
have so long right the world all make.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Forgot what Salt Lake City look like for a minute, right?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
So we asked this a couple questions to start the show.
What was your expertise when it came to Dad Naps?
Had you heard of Dad Nap? Did you know Dad
Nap or your Dad Naps fan?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I did not, but I will tell you I'm a
fan of every single person that's on that screen. So
I feel a little bit like I should have paid
attention to this one, because, Yeah, this cast was incredible.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I agree the cast was great.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
What about you, will, is this was this year your
top one?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Never know?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Never you thought when you think of d com you
don't think of Dad Nap.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't. I don't think of Dad No. I when
everybody knows when I think of d com I uh
think of when I'm not even going to think of it.
I'm not gonna say a bad title because we've been
through it. Go back and watch our old feed. You'll
know the ones I like and the ones that I
don't like. So here we go, floss floss, floss. It's
time we get into the synopsis Young Melissa Moore. You'll

(06:01):
understand that, hopefully young Melissa Morris is desperate to gain
more attention from her best selling author Dad, so when
her father gets kidnapped by obsessive fans, she must come
to the rescue, like the protagonist in one of his
popular spy novels, Sabrina. Early thoughts on Dad Nap Take
it Away? What do you think?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I found myself at a place where I have been
before with these d coms. I absolutely hated this Dad
for k I was just beyond disappointed. I literally could
not get out of my feelings about this dad for
the first fifteen to almost twenty minutes of this movie.

(06:40):
Like you are the most selfish, self absorbed A whole?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Is that all we're gonna get? Just a whole? That's it?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You are such a a anyway, you suck you suck lawyers.
Such a guy. I hated him so bad, and he's
like one of my favorite characters on Friends.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, well he's also a good guy. Somebody I've known
for a long time. That's George Newburn, who's the voice
of Superman in Justice League.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
He's I did not know that anyway, kids, this character
was unreal as an adult acting and behaving this way.
I was very disappointed.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Did you like the movie?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Though?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I was.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was kind of a lot to take in, right,
There's such a big cast. It was a little overwhelming
for me at the beginning to see everyone that kept
popping up and up and up and up. As you're going,
you're going, oh my god, Moises, is you? Oh my god?
You know you're going, okay, okay, what's your character? What
you know? It was a little I wasn't able to
really sit and chill on it for a while. It

(07:49):
wasn't until like halfway more closer to the end that
I was able to finally like relax and just watch
the movie. What about you?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh, Sabrina Brian, This is a tough one for me.
This movie is bananas and not kind of in a
good way. This did not feel like a decom to me,
you know what this felt like? To me, this felt
like a Nickelodeon movie.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I was just gonna say, it doesn't feel even like
a Paul Hohan no at all.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
That's why. And you know, little spoiler alert. We we
got to interview Jason Earls for our Park Copper episode
and I specifically asked, does did this movie start with
a different director and then Paul Howan took over?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Because we know not've done that.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Felt the same. The story doesn't make any sense. It
is super weird, The characters are weird. The main girl
is having like some sort of a Melton mental break.
It is this movie was I had to watch this
movie in chunks, like this was not a movie that
I was able to sit down and watch from beginning.

(08:54):
And this was a rough one for me. Yeah, totally
was great that Disney Disney Banger after Disney Banger. When
it comes to the cast, nobody's acting was bad, Like, no,
not at all, everything at all. What I was not
a character thing.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
What I felt was very hard to grasp was each
of these characters are such or each of these actors
are such phenomenal actors. But the characters I feel like
they had to. It was like they were battling a
little bit as far as not not not the actors,
but just the characters. All were so big and so

(09:30):
extreme and had to be so funny, every single one
of them, and when on screen together, That's what I said.
I was like overwhelmed a little.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was it was this this movie for me, it
was like the things they were having this great young
cast try to accomplish were next to impossible. And it
was one after another.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Especially towards the end, and all of that always about
I love a good food fight. I got to do
one when I was an extra on the Matilda movie,
Like so much fun, so fun for kids on set.
This was just like by the end of it, I'm like,
oh my god, why are everything so colorful and gooey
and being you?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
This one didn't do anything, but yeah, this was This
was a rough one for me because we've seen some
good ones.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, and luckily he is such a good physical actor
that like it makes it totally fine. But poor guy,
poor guy.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Wait, this was this was a This was like a
fever dream wrapped in a tab of acid that was
then dipped into ayahuasca. Like this was a weird movie,
but anyway it was.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was overwhelming for me for sure.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
As we said, Dad Napped is another Paul Hoan joint,
a director that we have covered extensively here on the podcast.
He is currently at the Helm of Zombies, a modern
day dcom hit franchise, and is no stranger to the medium,
having directed Let It Shine, Luck of the Irish, you
Wish read It and Weep, Jump In and Cheetah Girls,
One World. We've already interviewed this Disney legend. He's a
great guy. So as we sit and pat and wait

(11:00):
for Zombies four, go check out our talk with him
currently sitting there on our feet. Great interview, awesome guy,
great director. Just didn't this one didn't feel like him.
But anyway, like we said, this movie is filled with
Disney Channel faces. It was a pipeline to get their
promising talent into a movie. First up, we've got Emily
Osmond as Melissa sixth cent star Haley Joe Osmond is
her brother, and we just saw her in the Hannah

(11:22):
Montana movie, playing a role she started in the series
of the same name, best friend Lily Truscott. She is
also a bit of a pop star of her own
during her Disney days. You actually have to hear one
of her songs in this movie at the end. She
also released a duet with Magical rewinderam Boat Mitchell Musso,
and at one point they were singing together. She was

(11:44):
also part of the Disney machine, and she was great
in this movie. She really was with what they gave her.
She carried the whole thing. It was a strange character,
but she hit all the beats. She did it very well.
She was funny when she had to be funny. She
was sincere when she had to be sincere. She did
everything she possibly could with what they gave her. Most

(12:05):
recently now you can see her on Young Sheldon as
Mandy McAllister, or role she is now revisiting in the
just renewed CBS spinoff, starring in George and Mandy's first
marriage and then. David Henry is wee'z. David is a
Disney star of the past and current day. Is starring
in the original Wizards of Waverley play series and the
current reboot, as well as the show's dcom we recently

(12:26):
watched for the podcast. He also played Ted Moseby's future
son in How I Met Your Mother and shared the
role of Ronald Reagan with Tennis Quaid in the twenty
twenty four movie Reagan. Jason Earl's new friend of the
podcast You'll Get Into You'll You'll understand what that means
when you go check out our Parcopper episode is the
villainous MERV Kilbo like he just sounds bad. Merv Merv Kilbo.

(12:48):
Earl's is another hand of Montana star. He played Jackson
and also starred in the Disney XD series Kicking It Fun. Fact.
Earl's also worked as the recent onset acting coach for
high school musical The Musical the Series, which is arguably
the best named thing ever, and eventually appeared on the
show as camp counselor Dow we would moisus Arius is
little brother. Andre Moysis has turned his childhood starred him

(13:09):
as Rico also on Hannah Montana into a full fledged
acting career, appearing in movies Enders, Game, and Nacho lebre
and was most recently seen in the hit limited series
Fallout as Norma. I Mean He's Everywhere. Denzel Whittaker is
Sheldon and has also appeared in some impressive movies over
the years, including Training Day and Black panther Man. And

(13:29):
another character actor regular that we've seen is Charles Halford.
He plays the quirky skunk. You've seen Charles in a
ton of stuff later in life, looking totally different now
in True Detective Outer Banks and The Walking Dead, just
to name a few. And of course, Phil Lewis plays Maurice.
Lewis's a longtime character actor as well, seen in movies
like Heathers and City Slickers, but is best known to

(13:50):
our listeners as mister Moseby in the Sweet Life of
Zach and Cody. He also transitioned into a very prolific
TV director on shows like Good Luck, Charlie, Mike and Molly, Side,
Hug and Bumped. All right, Sabrina, how many of these people
did you go to the Disney Channel games with? And
were any on your massively losing teams?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
You are so rude sometimes.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. I was listening to
the winners. What were you saying?

Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's just I can't I can't even defend myself anymore.
It's just what it is. Damn. Anyway, Moiss was actually
on my team, okay, uh, Jason was not. We know
this because Jason Jason of Sir Jason David Henry was
there for sure, because I know Selena Gomez was, but

(14:41):
I don't remember hanging out with him, which is weird
because I think we're closer in age than I was
compared to a lot of those people. And then Emily Osmond.
I don't remember what team she was on, but I'm
sure she wasn't on mine.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's just so this was just such a movie where
they were just slamming it full of stars. It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah. And then and then Phil Phil Phil was I
think they're doing He wasn't He was not one of
the hosts. He was like one of the hosts. Yeah,
he came in and did a couple of things. So
so fun, That's what I'm saying, Like, it's like, you
don't it's not even just times where we got to compete,

(15:20):
but it was like hanging out or doing like interstitials
together and things like that. Was just really fun to
see all of them.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's cool. Well, speaking of winning, Dad Nap comes in
at are you ready for this? Are you ready for
the Sabrina ninety minutes? We've got a winner. People right
on target, the perfect length for a d coom. I
would like to thank Disney and Team Blue also, I
mean just it's a perfect length for probably any movie.

(15:47):
Great job everyone, mission accomplished. It was written by Alan Silberberg,
who started his career writing the nostalgic game show Doubledare,
which is something from back in my day. That's when
I was on Nickelodeon God New Mark Summers. That's what
that was my Nickelodeon deck. Oh, I've told you to,
haven't I. You know Robin the woman who used to
bring all this stuff out on Doubledare, It was his

(16:08):
co host. She was my legal guardian when I lived
in Florida doing the Nickelodeon stuff. Yeah, Robin, no way. Yeah,
this Double Dare was my that's these were my friends
and yes, and would also work out a lot of
other early nineties stuff like the all new Mickey Mouse Club,
Doug and Chop Chop Ninja. But this was actually his
only dcom. And of course Dad Napp is currently available

(16:30):
of you on Disney Plus. So if you want to
watch it now, you can. If you want to watch
it later after you listen to us, you can do
that too. You can do a lot of things because
we believe in you. We just know that you're bad
at cooking, so stay out of the kitchen. I don't
know that, actually, I'm just assuming. Okay, the time is now,

(16:50):
let's set a trip trap and get to Dad Napped
Almost Ryan. We opened with a dcom mainstay, one that
we have talked about so many times, the trope we
can never avoid. It is a pop song playing over
the credits while we see details from the room of
our young main character we have just keep parting at.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's starting to it just it's like starting to irritate me, right,
it's a and I feel bad because it's you're like
you've said it many times in the podcast. It's the
greatest way to figure out quickly who this girl is,
where she comes from, what she's into, what's her favorite color,
all that stuff. It's great, but my god, we can't
figure out another way to do this, Like all that's

(17:28):
all another version?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Here we go. How many times we got to see
it again? None of these movies were supposed to be watched
back to back. That's the difference with streaming things. Right away,
it's like, wait a minute, these are all the same
people doing the same thing every week. Yes, so we
we we've seen it. It is uh, we've witnessed it
time and time again, because again, as Sabrina just said,
it's a very fast way to get to know somebody
without any dialogue or wasting any time. And in this case,

(17:50):
in this very specific one, we see baby photos, a
book series called trip Zoom. There's girly pink everywhere, and
our lead teenager, Melissa Morris. Again they love the literation.
Shannon Chipley taking a look at her framed family photo.
It's her and her mom and her dad. But then magically,
a good looking young man appears in the pic, but
then fades away instantly, but she seems hurt by even

(18:12):
the fact that he was there for a moment. All right,
So this is obviously going to be about books, which
is one of the things I love to talk about.
Did you have book series as kids that as a
kid that you just loved you couldn't get enough of?

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I read the what was it Goosebumps?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, great series series.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
And then I also I care the one I remember
was like my first one. I was really into the
something about a train track, The box Car Kids, box
Car Kids, Yes, box thank you Lisa El explain it,

(18:49):
and then I really liked, well, I was really into
like national was it national geographic?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Like the I love the gas and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, those were mainly my things. It wasn't all necessarily
like storytelling. It was more like learning about animals or
learning about different places in the world. That was like,
really what I was into.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
That's cool, I love that. Yeah, what about you?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Was it just comics like we'll no, no.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I didn't find comics till much later. The first book
I found that changed my life was a book that
my third grade teacher read us and then we had
to take home and read at night, by an amazing
author named Lynn read Banks, called The Indian in the Cupboard.
They ended up making a movie about it years and
years later, which was terrible, but the book was phenomenal.
And then that led to like choose your own Adventures,
and then that led to then the first fantasy series

(19:32):
that changed my life, which is by David Eddings, which
is called the Belgaria and the Melorian series, and that
then it's just fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, yes, yeah,
oh I see it, so, yeah it was I loved it,
but anyway, for our film, we fade into Upper Valley
High School. It's English class right before the holiday break,
and Jeffrey Zimmer is called to the front of the

(19:53):
class for his book report. Jeffrey's report is on Neil
Morris's new book from the Trip Zoom series, Freeze Dried
too many jokes. I'm not even gonna go there. Now
a small detail that is worth pointing out here. Okay, Serena,
what would your guest be on how trip Zoom is spelled?
Because throughout the movie and the subtitles, we actually see

(20:14):
it as both trip t r I P p zoom
z O O m E and trip zoom t r
I p z o O M. So what do you
think it is?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh, it was spelled twice your Yeah, which one do
you think is right? That was one of my first
Serena sees dang.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I feel like Disney like likes to throw in like
an extra little letter here and there.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, I think so too, Disney d I s n
E y A. So, yeah, your guess is as good
as ours. Disney Disney, I like that. That's what it is.
From now on, we're rebranding. Okay, Now, although this class
is thrilled about this book report, it seems like it's
a massive bummer for Melissa. The teacher points out that
Freeze Fried Dreams is in even out till tomorrow, but

(21:01):
Jeffrey explains that his dad knows a guy who works
at the paper factory, so he got an early copy.
He pulls it out and the class is wildly impressed,
and so is the teacher, who rushes to a desk
to listen as well. Jeffrey starts his report, he explains
that Tina is in the clutches of the ruthless Rudolpho
and Trip Zoom is nowhere to be found. Now, as
he tells the story, we see it acted out in

(21:23):
real time with cutscenes. And this is the only time
this happens in the movie ever. Yeah, Now, did you
think this is how the movie was going to play out?
That occasionally we would be cutting to Trip Zoom stuff?
I mean, obviously, yeah, yeah, Nope, never happens again.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I felt kind of missing. I would have liked to
see certain things. I mean, she's already having these hallucinations anyway,
It's like.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Right, it's exactly so. But this time, just as Rudolpho
approaches Tina with a power saw. We see Trip Zoom
in the shadows, and this is the same boy that
appeared in Melissa's family photo, so we saw that the
boy that appears and disappears is obviously true Zoom. He
does a flip off the second story and surprises Rudolpho
with a spider man like quip, is it me or
are you actually getting uglier burn? Radolpho charges that, Trip,

(22:10):
running into a trip wire, which maybe made me think
that might be his signature move, but who knows. While
Rudolpho is stunned, Trip gets the handcuffs off of Tina
and runs to the roof. By the way, keep that
in mind, because if there's gonna be a drinking game
for this episode, it's gonna be the amount of times
characters are handcuffed in a d com So Trip and

(22:30):
Tina run to the roof, but that is a terrible
place to hide out because there's nowhere to go but down.
As they contemplate their next move, here comes Rudolpho, justin
Timer here picks up a tarp and grabs Tina. He
jumps off the roof and uses the sheet as a parachute,
landing safely on the ground. They hop on matching dirt
bikes and leave in a hurry. Rudolpho yells, this isn't over,
Trip Dune. It's supposed to be Zoom, not by a

(22:53):
long shot. But the funny thing is it is over
because we never see Rudolpho again or any of these
characters except the trip guy comes back. What I'm already now, Like.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I know, I'm all right, I'm pushing, I'm going, Oh god,
I'm gonna struggle this one.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
That's what I thought too. This is when I think.
I turned on my phone and started to scroll for
about half an.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Hour, and she also and I'm I don't know. It
was just I guess edited this way. The amount of
eye rolls that Emily is. That's what one of my
supriatacies was. Like I was going, I was thinking, not
the handcuffs, that's a good one. I was thinking, how
many times is she going to I roll.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Iroll the drinking game, I roll. You'll be dead by
the second act.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Break.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, but back in class, the students are hanging on
every word from the book report and by the way,
this guy just absolutely spoiled the end of this book
or the big part of this book for the people
where and it hasn't even come out yet. It's like
the guy got a copy of Harry Potter, the last one,
and just in his book report decided to read the
last chapter to the team. So it's like what. But anyway,

(23:54):
as he finishes, the class applauds, but Melissa is not moved.
The teacher calls it another literary masterpiece, which is definitely
not hyperbole, but also reveals that the writer, Neil Morris,
is the dad of one Melissa Morris. The class, of
course erupts and start chanting Trip rules just as the
bell ring, and now on her way out of class,

(24:14):
Melissa turns and spots a huge ad for Trip at school,
you know, like all schools that have huge ads for
books everywhere. And that's when we enter a new device
in the movie something we're going to see a lot of.
She can talk to Trip. In this case, we see
his mouth move in the big poster, despite the fact
this is a photo and he's a fictional character. So

(24:36):
and the it looked bad with the mouth flaps in
the eyes. It was just the whole thing was strange.
But Melissa, this is where we figure out that Melissa
really seems to hate him and the fact that he
takes up so much of her dad's time. So that
night at okay, well, okay, all right, okay, that night
at Melissa's mom's house, Melissa is watching a TV report

(24:57):
about the new book's release, and now the imaginary Trip
is bickering with her through the TV screen, and that's
when her mom enters the room. Melissa hides her possible
schizophrenia and certifiable delusion, saying she's just excited for the
camping trip with her dad tomorrow. We find out that
her parents are divorced, but the split was amicable, and
I thought, huh, divorce in Disney. I thought, we learned
that your your spouse can be dead and that's okay,

(25:21):
but divorce is something they usually stay away from. So
I was like, okay, and so many kids come from
divorce families, it's probably good to throw more divorce in there.
It's it's ideal.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I did love too, that the mom was not condescending
towards the dad, like she did a great job of
co parenting in this moment too.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Which even with him being huge awful.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
For kids, Yeah, he did not do well, but I
think it was huge for her for that message to
be pushed.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Now, do you think personally one of the reasons they
got divorced is because he became super wealthy and just
bailed on her, and he lived a massive house somewhere.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I took it as he's an ego maniac and couldn't
stop talking about himself and his fame and the book.
Like she also, she left. I thought it was she'd
be walking away from him because of this exact thing
that she's having to watch her daughter go through.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Huh, that makes sense. I buy that totally. The next day,
Melissa's mom opens the door to see trip, but it's
actually a cardboard cutout Neil, Melissa's dad and her exes
hiding behind it. He brags about how much his new
book is going to sell, which is always cool to
do in front of your ex wife who you have
divorced before you became JK. Rowling. She quickly shames him
into not asking about their daughter, which he doesn't do,

(26:38):
and tells him to make the camping trip the best
father daughter experience possible. Melissa enters, giving her dad a
big hug and an out from the vacation, but he
says he is one hundred and fifty percent hers for
the weekend and only hers. While he makes this promise,
she sees trip in the corner of the room. Yeah right,
He says, he's not so sold on where her dad's
attention will be, and this fiction character is probably accurate.

(27:02):
Now they're out on the road. The two are in
a Mustang convertible, which is a very modest car for
the world's biggest author. They're driving with trips cutout in
the backseat, like you do. Melissa talks about packing new
boots and the game word Wham and the fun they're
going to have. But he breaks some news to her.
They first have to stop at the Mercury Zoom Convention.
It'll be filled with real Zoomers and he's judging a

(27:22):
costume contest. Then they can go camping right after. Now
she is obviously nervous about this change of plans, but
she agrees to go. And you'll be shocked to hear this,
but the cutout comes to life again. Doubts this plan
is going to work out. This fake trip. Cardboard cutout guy.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Is just augh, just and it looks so bad.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
It does look very bad. It looks it doesn't look good.
The father and daughter enter Mercury, which is a quiet
little town, and they see a long line already waiting
for him at this Mercury con He again promises her,
don't worry, it's only going to be one night. They
get inside a hotel, dozens of fans and supposed to
be dozens of fans, but there's not enough extras at
even a small convention, and it looks very strange. And
for some reason, somebody was cause playing as a scuba diver. Okay,

(28:04):
I'm assuming that's a character we're supposed to know from
somebody you go to. No one cosplays as a scuba diver,
unless there's anyway. I do a lot of conventions, and
I love them and they're fun. I've never seen a
scuba dive.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I have the biggest question when we get to Sabrina Sees.
It's literally actually all my spreena seas. It's just asked
about this.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
About conventions, Okay, these things, and I love them.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I asked so many questions. I've never been to one.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I've you're gonna I'll take it a.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Theories.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Oh yeah, I will open your eyes to one I
will open your eyes to one Sabrina. You're gonna love it.
So yes, dozens of cosplayers are cosplaying as his characters.
They're making a mess of the lobby. He's helped by
the starstruck hotel owner Merv, who puts him in the
presidential suite. This is where we see a shady character, Sheldon,
hiding out in a phone booth. He says in the

(28:50):
phone quote the package has arrived, and on the other
end is a young man named Weez at home devising
a plan to quote unquote win the contest. We hangs
up and plays a quick turn of Wordwham, which was
the same game legally changed enough from Scrabble that Melissa
mentioned earlier. No matter his bonus word score move, this
all spells trouble. Thank you. At the hotel, MERV walks

(29:14):
our duo to their suite, supposedly the establishment's finest, but
it's basically just two beds, a lava lamp, and a chandelier. Later,
at the hotel's convention, Neil is being hounded by fans
with theories and ideas, and he bumps into a big,
nervous fan named Skunk, who gets his name obviously because
he's got a white stripe down the center of his
hair and he wants to get his book signed. Excited,

(29:36):
Skunk runs to show it off to his brother Maurice,
who tells him to stop playing around. They're not there
for autographs. Also, there's a supermount of sketchy people at
this event, just like criminals everywhere, and I go to
these conventions all the time. They're not criminals, they're incredible people.
Melissa watches the activities around her dad from afar, taking notes.
Then out of nowhere, a man falls from the rafters,

(29:58):
suspended by a rope, just like a low budget version
of that Mission Possible stunt. He brags about how he's
going to win the contest, but Melissa is shocked to
hear about the challenge. He informs her that whoever at
this event can prove their quote zoom enough unquote wins prizes,
and the prizes are they get to become a character
in her dad's next book and the chance to read
it before it's published. We also learned that the catchphrase

(30:20):
from the book is apparently floss, as in teeth floss.
Is this a superhero catchphrase? Am I supposed to get this?
Because I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
It comes up at least three or four times in
the movie, all the time inredibly Lost. I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
That should be it lost lost lost. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I didn't either.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'm out of my realm. I don't know anything.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
This is my realm, and I still don't get.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
It about It's like, okay, I.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Will say as the voice of God here, Yeah, they
used dental floss a lot in the movie. That's what
they do to high up the guy. And then I
think they to trip people. So maybe that's it should
have been explained better. But maybe that is what Trip
carries as as.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
A weapon, is floss? Okay? Maybe again, well it's a
great weapon against ginger vitis. Right right, So black and
black build up.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
This goes back to what we and maybe they did
film these and that hit the cutting room floor to
get to that ninety minute.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
But the story they cut out, the story they were.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Like the going into like what we got a little
bit of the movie.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Thinking maybe see act maybe yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
You know moments of the book acting acting. That would
have been a time where he if it is floss,
he opens up the floss he's got the you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Are we gonna get Dad napped? The Paul Hohen cut,
maybe the new director's cut.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I should ask him what okay? What was left helping
boles here?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Excuse me, Paul, but I have questions. The next morning,
Melissa sees that her dad has been working the entire
trip so far, just like the car rip predicted, but
Neil reminds her he'll pick a contest winner and they'll
be on the road by Nune. Cut two. Oh geez,
it's one twenty and she is still waiting as Sabrina's
favorite dad is doing it again as if. Frustrated, Melissa
makes her way out the door, she bumps into Wheeze.

(32:14):
In their exchange, she mentions wordwhim, and the two get
a little flirty, realizing they're both impressive whammers to meet
jokes again. Not gonna get into that, they go their
separate ways, and Wheeze, his little brother and his little
brother's friend Andre make their way to a van. Back
at the con, a presentation by a contestant trying to
prove he's zoom enough ends with an explosionist slime and

(32:36):
Weez's little brother emerging to tell Sheldon that the distractor
is locked and loaded. Sheldon radio's wheeze, and the whole
gang puts on safety goggles. But we have no idea
what we're in for. Then Sheldon turns on a mysterious
machine that starts churning onions, pushing the smell right into
the convention, which makes me wonder if it's an odor thing,
why do you need goggles? But the fan starts to

(32:58):
become repulse by the odor. I guess if it's onions,
you start to cry. I get that you'd be blinded. Okay,
I that one makes No.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Were you not, no, absolutely not, nope, no, no no.
Were you not expecting these onions to start shooting out
of something to do something?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
I didn't know. It's also the giant hose that he
just lays at the bottom of the ground. No one
sees the thirty five foot hose that's a foot in
diameter that he just brings into the convention.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Hey again, I don't know. No, no, it would not
be looked at as we promise you.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's much smaller hoses with much fewer onions at rest. Oh,
got it, Okay, So he turns on the machine. It
starts churning onions. It pushes the smell into the convention.
The fans start to become repulsed by the odor, but
Melissa's safe outside talking to her friend on the phone.
But inside everyone starts coughing and tearing up and again
there are actual onion goggles. You can buy them on Amazon.
They head for the doors, thinking it's a ventilation problem.

(33:56):
Neil is also evacuating, but is approached by Andre and
hold out the side door. This catches Skunk and Maurice's attention,
who apparently also want a piece of Neil outside. In
the move that has become as predictable as clockwork, Trip
appears and continues to ridicule Melissa. She calls him a
jerk and says soon he'll be walking out that door
when vacation starts, but we know that won't happen anytime soon.

(34:17):
In fact, Weees's brother is with Neil, introducing him to
the tear jerker onion machine in person. It's actually one
of his ideas, straight from the trip book, and Neil
is impressed. Just as he's thrown into the van to
meet Weez and Sheldon, they tie him to a seat
with dental floss as Jensen had said, so maybe that
explains the floss catchphrase. But as they speed away in

(34:38):
this really expensive van, Skunk and Maurice Steele a uniform
delivery truck to chase after him. This is their guy too.
I'd also like to point out they stole this giant
truck that they then have the entire movie, like, no
one's gonna see them in this giant yellow stolen truck
that they have for days days, But anyway, Melissa searches

(34:59):
for her dad at the con but can't find him anywhere.
She does notice a nearby surveillance camera and realizes this
might help find her dad. MERV shows her the footage,
and it shows her dad being kidnapped by random teens. Now,
in response, she calls the local police to report a
missing person, but the cops are skeptical and technically extraordinarily
lazy and bad at their jobs. She's been told to
wait forty eight hours to fill out a report. By

(35:20):
the way, that is not accurate. You don't even need
to wait the twenty four hours. You can report somebody
missing immediately, just so you know. Just when she thinks
there's nothing she can do, she's visited again. By imaginary trip.
He's surprised she's not taking the opportunity to be trip herself,
doing whatever she can to get her dad back, but
she explains she hates trip. Zoom hits her again while
she's down, saying that's why her dad writes about him

(35:41):
and not her. Ouch weez. Sheldon and Andre are spinning
around in the van with Neil flass. Okay, he's now
flost and gagged in the back, so maybe that's what
it is. It has to be flossed because they keep
using the flas they're talking about mint and all this
kind of stuff. It's very strange. This is when I've
felt like, okay, yes, somebody dosed my drink. Skunk and

(36:03):
Maurice's uniform truck trails very near by them until the
van stopped. Then Skunk hops out and hides in a bush,
slowly making his way to the hostage. We still don't
know what's going on here. He's been dad napped at
this point, with these now two other guys following in
another giant stolen van. Now, while in the van, the
kids reveal all the trip traps they use to abduct Neil,

(36:23):
and he's actually very impressed. But also ready to be released. Instead,
they stuffed the sock back in his mouth and say
you wrote it, we do it. The van speeds off again,
leaving skunk knocked out in the street. Somehow, Melissa, finally
with some trip motivation, calls her dad's phone and Wee's
answers and starts to explain the situation. He says, once
Neil agrees to their one demand, they'll let him go.

(36:46):
But wait, Melissa recognizes that voice. It's the word wham guy.
He also puts two and two together, and just as
a car wash employee comes up and asks what type
of finish they want for their van, because of course,
when you're abducting somebody, you stop to get your car
car washed. Melissa hangs up and wonders if she just
got a clue about their location. MERV, But now, why
not just go through like a drive through, like, hey,

(37:08):
we want to stop and get food. Who stops to
get their car? MIRV appears and tells her where the
nearest car wash is. We are now back at the
car wash and the boys are putting some finishing touches
on the van like you do. When Wees accidentally drops
his word wham, guide and sees Melissa and Merv arrive
in a red convertible, which is technically a nicer car
than the millionaire author has by the way, but anyway.

(37:30):
Melissa surveys a scene while Nerv makes a call back
to the hotel, but while his attention is diverted, the
kidnappers push his convertible into the car wash. Melissa and
Merv try to stop it, but instead find themselves completely
drenched and soapy from the wash. The car is filled
with water. It's actually a very cool stunt. I've only
seen maybe once or twice in a movie, but never
to this extent, except maybe on a Podmets World movie

(37:54):
that we recapped camp Nowhere. That's the only time it
has been this full. It's usually like it gets a
little full, but this they really filled up. I also
don't buy that at fifteen, you know you're gonna you're
gonna learn to drive in another year. You don't know
where the break on a car is. I'm sorry, I
don't drive that. She gets and she's like, I don't
know where the break is. I don't buy that either.
She's also very smart in the movie, so you're gonna
know where the break just hit any pedals the car

(38:15):
wasn't on. Eventually it'll stop. Melissa, sy, this is where
you see. This is where I'm seeing. Yes, Sar, and
break next to you. Anything hit a button. Melissa sees
the dropped wordwham guide and notices it's a library book
that is due today. We are now back in the
kidnapper van, and Neil is losing his patience, but he
also notices their library books are due today. What timing

(38:37):
and weird? What a weird. He warns them of the
late fees, and the group instantly makes a rush turn
to avoid the fine. So they have no fear about
kidnapping a grown man, but late fees, no way, not
gonna happen. I am not paying a nickel. I'll do
thirty in the slammer as I'm charged as an adult
for kidnapping. But five cents on an overdoe book I'm

(39:00):
not gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I mean, I think it's great they're showing kids being responsible.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Kind of.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
They're all wearing their seatbelts as they're mowing down pedestrians.
And once the kidnappers do arrive at the library, they
make an innocent deal with Neil if he shows them
the book slap trip Trap, they'll release him. He agrees
and starts the challenge in the library. So then, why
did they kidnap him in the first place? Why did
they kidnap him?

Speaker 1 (39:30):
What was the point of either of these groups? Kid
No made zero sense, Like he was just.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Saying, why did they dad nap this guy? I did
not understand. It's like it was this amazingly planned out
thing for nothing. Then we see the sudsy convertible arrive
at the library too, still followed very closely. Nobody even
held back slightly in this movie, followed closely by the

(40:00):
uniform truck, and Melissa runs inside to get her dad,
still being heckled by the piece of imaginary trip and
Melissa enters the library trying to find her dad. Neil
just finished the book trap for the next librarian to
feel the effects. So apparently some poor librarian is going
to get trip trapped, but Melissa blindly approaches, checks the

(40:20):
book and is splashed with blue paint. The boy's applaud
and Neil hugs's daughter, you found me. She's confused, I
am too. What the fuff is happening? At this point?

Speaker 3 (40:31):
It swear what is going on?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Will what what are we doing here?

Speaker 3 (40:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
I truly do not. At this point, I was looking
around my room going like is this fake? Like this
can't be it did? The story didn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
I rewound a little bit. Did I miss something? Okay,
I did? Then I had to fast forward. I was like, yes,
again I didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
I just didn't understand it.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
But so again, all the characters, they're all great. Yes,
the acting is fine.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
It's just this is why it felt like a Nickelodeon
movie to me, which don't seem to be on the
same level as the Disney movie.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Yeah, so he says, you found me, And now Neil
is cool with his kidnappers, like he's Patty Hurst. They like,
they haven't been cool with him at all.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
But if I walked up to where I'm scared as
someone has my dad, I find him and he's like
chumming it up, I would have walked up to him
and been like, Dad, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 2 (41:39):
What are you doing? What's doing going on? Let's go?

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Like, come on, it's time to go whatever, Like.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, and so Melissa thought she was saving her dad,
he admits he's been having fun with Sheldon Andre and
Weeze has he He hasn't. It's Stockholm syndrome. That happened
very quickly.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Second in the library, and that was fun.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Yes, yeah, Weez tells Melissa. They got off on the
wrong foot, and they flirt some more, but she's had enough.
She's ready to leave with her dad and start camping.
He apologizes to his new crew and follows her out.
Neil doesn't understand his daughter's angst. Somehow. She says she's
been thinking of this vacation for weeks. She wanted everything
to be perfect for them, but every time she's with
her dad, he brings Trip along and everything is ruined.

(42:24):
She argues that Trip Zoom is not a fictional character.
He's a pain in her butt. Then Skunk and Maurice
pop up, now in sheriff's uniforms Neil recognizes the duo
as they try to cuff him. Remember this was buddy.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
They come up to him and they've got like karate
ate and like where's your gun?

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah? What have you got?

Speaker 4 (42:46):
I know.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
All the producers. Can you please isolate the sound of
Sabrina saying karate hand jobs and send it to me immediately.
Just I'm gonna need to have that on a perpetual loop.
Thank you, thank you very much, Blaye. So they're wearing
sheriff's uniforms Neil recognizes the duo. They try to cuff them,

(43:11):
only then boom, Melissa forces herself into the other cuff wee's.
Sheldon and Andre watch the new bad guys put their
father and daughter into their truck and decide to chase
after them. He's now been dad napped twice. It's a
double dad napping, and everybody knows you get double dad napped,
have to get karate hand jobbed. So Sheldon decides to

(43:33):
call the police station, but again the cup just keep
it in fun, Sabrina. The cop doesn't believe anything regarding
Neil Morris, and maybe this town just as a terrible
police force. That's what it seems like. The gang realizes
it's up to them and they very closely follow the
laundry truck through the night, eventually landing at a creepy
drive in Theaters where he follows them. Skunk and Maurice

(43:54):
eventually throw their prisoners into their abandoned trailer and it's
covered in notes. Neil and Melissa are getting scared. Obviously,
Skunk has a knife, but also a plate of snacks.
Neil assumes they want money, but Maurice has other plans.
He reveals a notebook filled with papers for Lights Out Lenny,
a book that his brother Skunk has been writing. Maurice
wants a real writer to finish the book, and that's

(44:15):
where Neil comes in. And until the book is fixed,
they can't leave no matter how long it takes. So
this is where it kind of turns into misery. Neil
starts reading chapter one. Quote the sky was dark and
the air was cold, and the man held the guns
so tight his fingers felt like cheese unquote. Uh oh,
this could take a while. As Neil works on the

(44:36):
awful book, the brothers watch a public domain movie outside.
Melissa says they need to make a distraction. Her dad
isn't so sure. He doesn't want to risk her life
on some silly plan. She's furious that her ideas are
always quote unquote silly, yet everything he writes for Trip
Zoom is genius. She wants to know why he doesn't
write about her. He explains that his characters are larger

(44:56):
than life, an extraordinary She tears up. She pushes back
he doesn't know any of her interests. He's missed all
of her dancer titles and knows nothing about her awards
in writing. She wants him to finally admit it. Trip
comes first, and just then we hear sirens. Everybody is spooked,
but we know it's just the boys van. Skunk and
Maurice don't know that, though, and they immediately grab their

(45:17):
hostages and try to take off, but Melissa sneakily grabs
a zoom book from Skunk's pile on their way out.
Skunk then pushes the captives into the uniform van, telling
Neil to keep writing. So he's going to be writing
as they drive around in this big stolen van that's
bright yellow and has now been missing for days. In
the van, Melissa starts giving Skunk's book notes, and her

(45:39):
dad actually agrees with everything she's suggesting. But when the
uniform truck hits debris in the road, it shakes the
car and Maurice spots his tail. He knows he's being followed,
and he didn't even have to look in the they're
three feet from they're the only two vans on the road,
and they're right behind him, so he's following them. He
quickly turns off road, putting them through a dirt obstacle. Course,

(46:02):
Skunk opens the back door and starts doing what you do,
throwing pants at them, eventually forcing them to avoid the
clothing rack and boom, they're slammed into a ditch. Skunk
celebrates as they leave their last possible detractors in the
rear view. But just as things are looking good for
the batties, they realize they're almost out of gas. Oh no,
steal a bigger van next time. Melissa also announces she

(46:25):
has to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Maurice doesn't trust her,
but Skunk says he'll stand by the door when they
make it to the gas station, and once they arrive,
he does just that. He uncuffs her shot, He puts
on a jacket and waits for her to either number one,
number two, or number three. Sabrina, do you think it
was one, two or three? What do you think? She
set it up as number two? Don't you think? Yes? Okay,

(46:45):
I thought so too.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
That's number three.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
If you don't know, I'm not gonna tell you. Just
be lucky. We don't get to four and five once inside,
it's number zero actually, as Melissa just surveys, Well, when
you're full of it, that's when number four and five.
Melissa just surveys the restroom, eventually seeing her imaginary zoom
once again in the mirror. He explains he's just in
her head, but she keeps him there, and this forces

(47:10):
her to realize if he's in her head, then she
can think like him. She reaches into her pocket and
pulls out the trip books she stole from Skunk. She
finds a page for the quote unquote presidential Pickle, which
incidentally was my nickname in high school, and then she
finds her lip glosses and circles the word presidential, leaving
the paper jammed in a mirror.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
You circle it. Why wouldn't you just say what you
wanted to say with me?

Speaker 2 (47:33):
You mean, right, we're in the presidential suite. They're taking
us here.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
They're taking us here, because that's.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Not confusing, and this movie is confusing, Sabrina. Why you've
got you've got pen and ink and you just circle
one way? She circled the word, and we've got to
go find her, like, yeah, why not just write they've
taken us to the presidential suite on the mirror something
maybe here, Okay, play to play Devil's advocate. Maybe she

(48:01):
thought she had to do it that way, so if
he walked in to check to see if she'd left
any clues, it wouldn't be that blatant. I don't again,
I'm going for a stretch. I think it's just because
it's supposed to be confusing. Yeah, so she jams at
leaving the Okay, she exits with a long piece of
toilet paper stuck to her shoe, leaving a trail to

(48:21):
the truck. She removes her jacket, tosses it to the floor,
and get back in the handcuffs shot for the drive. Meanwhile,
Maurice is on the phone defending his actions to someone.
Maybe they aren't the bosses of this plan after all.
They drive off and Neil returns to writing the book
again in the back, until Melissa argues that he needs
better conditions to write, and Maurice actually agrees. They're just

(48:43):
going to go back to the hotel. Which how did
we know that? After the already all right, she already
she circled them? Just then, Andre, Andre, Sheldon and Wheeze
stumble on the drive through They see Melissa's jacket the
trail of toilet paper from the bathroom and find her
page with presidential circleed, but Pickle, of course, was sadly ignored.

(49:04):
Weez smells her lip gloss on the paper and knows
it's Melissa. Shelter reveals that his idea. He thinks it's
a clue for a pickle farm, but Andre knows this
means presidential suite, and they leave for the hotel again.
Would it just been easier to write they took us
back to the hotel. The uniform truck arrives back at
this hotel and they're greeted by the real bad guy,

(49:26):
their boss, Mirv. That's right, it's a hotel owner all along.
He helped Melissa earlier, but all it did was lead
him to her dad. Now he tells his henchman to
get me into his room to finish the new book.
What a turn of events? Did you see this coming?
Did you know Burv was gonna be the bad guy?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
I at this point I've forgotten about him, I really did.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
I knew at the second game on screen he was
all gonna be of course it was gonna be Merv.
Of course it was.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Yeah, I mean, I know, I truly was like, I
can't believe they have Jason Earl and they've barely used him,
Like what the heck?

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, Like he's.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Hilarious, funny, all of them on the castAR. But yeah,
you're gonna have them in this movie and just give
him this teeny tidy roll.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
What Yeah. No, so they get to see him. It's
MERVS here and we're now in Merv's room. It looks
like a seventies bachelor pad. I loved his room, by
the way, outdated and swanky. It was the best.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
It was such a good set. It was such a
good set.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
This is where, so Melissa follow me through. This is
handcuffed to the hanging egg chair shot and Neil is
placed in front of a laptop. Okay, but now we're back.
Keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. We're now
back on the road. The boys have forced a pizza
delivery guy from Ralph's Pizza Shack to bring them to
the hotel. Also, the pizza has the best cross in town,
and for some reason, they dance and listen to cool

(50:47):
music on the way in their car. Back at the hotel,
Melissa notices a sketch for the MERV and how does
she notice this by getting up and walking around? Wait,
she was just handcuffed to the chair. Hello, not ere,
She's just not anymore. There's bad handcuffs, or she just
doesn't want to be in them anymore. So she notices

(51:09):
sketches for the MERV an idea for an expensive Vegas
like high rise redesign of this particular hotel, and apparently
this is his motivation to do this whole plot, which
makes no sense. Somehow, Skunk is getting better at writing,
and Melissa and Neil are bonding his father and daughter
in the same process. The next day, now the hotel
convention is still bumping with book fans and is as

(51:31):
messy as ever. The pizza man finally arrives too, So
where were they coming from if the other people got
there so much faster? But dropping off our teens? How
are they driving through the night? Okay, by this point
I'm just going okay, let the colors wash over me.
Back inside, Melissa's finishing off the book while Maurice and
her dad sleep with Skunk. Also in the shower, she

(51:53):
sees an opportunity trip appears, but she's so sick of
him only talking in catchphrases, but still asks him what
he thinks of her plan, But she knows the answer.
She found the confidence within herself. She has a good plan, Foss. Meanwhile,
the boys barging to the presidential suite, only to realize
Melissa and her dad aren't there. Where is she? Then
Sheldon redeems himself and figures it out. It's like the

(52:14):
climax from Zoom Time Boom Time. I think it's called
the Signal of strength. It is a signal Zoom uses
to lead the cloned rebels to his location. Weez realizes
she's brilliant and Andre warns him if you don't ask
her out, I will, which was a very funny line.
They just need to find the signal, and they need
to find it. Now we are back on the con stage.

(52:35):
There's a Zoom debate going on until Weez and Andre
break it up. They announced that Neil is in trouble
and he needs the Zoomer's help, Floss. Unfortunately, Merv hears
all of this and now knows he must stop this
group from obviously going and wrecking his master plan, the
plan of which we still don't know what the hell
is actually going on. This is where we get a
montage to yet another pop song, now with a poncho

(52:55):
sporting group of Zoomers making water balloons, mixing paint, and
creating new trip traps throughout the city for their plan.
Later on, Melissa still needs to figure out what her
signal's going to be that's important, but her dad reveals
that a lot of trip is actually based on her.
She's in the plot, she's in the humor, she's in
the heart, and she is the reason that he writes.

(53:16):
This beautiful moment is interrupted by Merv, who just needs
this book finished. He knows a Zoomer firestorm is brewing outside,
and Melissa just wants to know what this is all about.
Merv says that he cares about what her dad writes,
not what Skunk's been doing. He wants now try to
follow me here because hopefully as I read this out,
I'll understand it too. He wants to sell the manuscript

(53:38):
to the new and last Neil Morris book to fund
his new hotel idea, and until that book is perfect,
Neil won't see his princess and locks Melissa in the bathroom. Now,
even Skunk and Maurice are little disturbed this isn't what
they signed up for, but MERV says they're looking at
jail time either way, so they better do what he says.

(54:01):
So he wants to hold this guy, have him write
his last book, not what Skunk wants, kill him, sell
the book rights, and then build a hotel. That's the
Disney Channel plan, folks, that's the plan.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Where we're at.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
This is where we are. This is when by this
point I think I was looking at everything else in
my room going like, oh, that needs to be cleaned up.
It was, yes, it's just okay. So outside we're back
outside now the Zoomers are ready to go. As Melissa
paces the bathroom, she needs to give them the signal.
She pulls down a shower curtain and starts raiding the
medicine cabinet, working quickly to create something. Eventually, she writes

(54:44):
a very large Z on the sheet and places it
outside the window, giving the group the signal that they need.
They immediately then storm the hotel. Which again, why not
just lean out the window and say come get me,
or write something else on the thing. But anyway, they
storm the hotel, slingshotting super stinky cheese bombs right into

(55:05):
Mirv and his hotel plans. It's an all out attack,
water balloon, spray guns, paint, toilet paper. It's actually really
disgusting and gross. It reminds me very much of Nickelodeon stuff.
This might be the dirtiest movie we've seen yet, and
it forces Merv to retreat, grabbing Neil and Melissa for
an escape, but they quickly realize every route is blocked
by zoomers and they're attacking from every direction. The fans

(55:26):
steal off the streets while Melissa loses her captors with
a slip slap zoom trap and reunites with weez to
dental floss up Skunk and Maurice. So yeah, floss floss
maybe that is what it is, but they never explained that.
At the beginning, the only bad guy left is Merv.
He still has Neil and is trying to just get
to his car, but that's when Sheldon spots him again,
making up for that one time he had a stupid

(55:46):
idea and wanted to go to the pickle farm. He
yells charge and it's a full on brave heart attack.
Hundreds of kids turn the corner and they ambush Nerve
until he's trapped, but he fakes his retreat and runs
away again. He's still getting away, but as he's about
to round a corner, more recent Skunk still flost up
see the mob coming, and for their own redemptions, Skunk
tells his brother to spin and they create a trip wire,

(56:08):
forcing Merv to fall into what can only be described
as a large pile of coalslaw, that's there for some
reason that I don't understand. Do you understand what that?
What the reason for that was? What do you think me?

Speaker 1 (56:20):
At this point that I lost me?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
It was, yes, okay, I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
It was like really pushing of just.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Trying to get through this at this point. This was
a rough one for me. I'll be honest, it was.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
And it sucked because I want to love all of
the movies that we watch, you know, and then the
cast is cast is so good and I love Paul
Howen and yes, like the whole time, and I'm going,
am I just a bad mood right now?

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Like I thought the same thing.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
I just like not wanting.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
So funny you say that I thought the same thing, Like.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Am I just in a mood? Like? Is that is
that what's happening?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Yeah, and no, it just this did not feel like
dcom at all. It felt like a bad Nickelodeon movie. Yes,
you know, like the vibe was just wrong.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
I also watched Nickelodeon growing up, but like it wasn't
as on the caliber for me as like the Disney story.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Agree, agreed, And this felt like that.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Yeah, yeah, so it was strange. Strange.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah. So the kids celebrate as the real police finally
arrive and with no sign of the lazy cop, who,
of course, could have ended this movie an hour ago. Now, yep,
but we're thank you. We are now back at the convention,
without the threat of evil looming. Neil speaks to his fans.
He thanks them for their triptastic efforts. Everyone there will
get a signed copy of his next book. He also

(57:42):
says it's time to reward the winner of the Zoom
Enough Prize. He picks Andre Sheldon and Wieze, some guys
who really stepped up in the face of danger, ignoring
the fact that they were actually his first kidnappers and
definitely had awful intentions, and put socks in his mouth repeatedly.
But who cares, as We's then yells reading rocks, good message,
weird way to say it. Zoom appears once again for Melissa,

(58:03):
but instead of getting into their normal war of words,
she thanks him. She couldn't have done it without him,
but he's not hearing it. She did it, She did
it all on her own. And Neil announces he has
one more prize for his inspiration. He's awarding his daughter.
That's right, there, you go. She gets the prize. She's
been the inspiration for everything. The fans give her a
standing ovation as the father and daughter embrace on stage.

(58:25):
The crowd chance Floss as a handcuffed shot Skunk and
Maurice watch on. Skunk is still optimistic. Dostoyevsky wrote some
really cool stuff while in the Slammer, and just like that,
they're taken away to prison. It's finally time for Neila
Melissa's vacation. Wheeze shyly gives her his number in case
she wants to, you know, go out. She says yes,
but makes him promise it'll be a normal date. No

(58:47):
weird costumes, no dental floss, and no police intervention. That's
a pretty lame date if you ask me. He agrees,
and hey, man, if you're not wearing kattumes and using
dental floss for something you didn't get lucky that night.
He agrees, and then the Morris duo drive off as
the Zoomers once again chant floss, and then we get bloopers,

(59:07):
but not even the bloopers weren't good. It's just characters
getting hit in the face with slime and dowse with water.
As the credits pass by and we hear Emily Osmond's
en track called hero in Me. Did you know at
the time this was an Emily Ozma song. Oh that's
cool and that is our movie.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
I figured, yeah, I kind of did too, but at
that point my ears were on fire and my eyes
were bleeding. So, okay, this was a rough one for me, folks,
I'm sorry, this was a really rough one for me.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Just hate it. Especially talking to Jason.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
I know what you mean. You hate that. You don't
like them as much as we don't like them, you know.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
But even himself he said when he read it it
was weird. Yeah, when they did it, it felt weird.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
But here's the thing, we have to be Okay, I
don't care if you've got five dollars or five hundred million.
Some movies are gonna be good, and some movies are
gonna be not that great, and some movies are gonna
be terrible, and there's gonna be everything in between. Yeah,
that we are getting spoiled by some of these movies.
A because I know I'm watching them in the wrong

(01:00:12):
state of mind, and I know that they're good movies
for what they're supposed to be, And I'm trying to
get better at being like, this is a good movie.
I'm just being a jerk about it because I'm watching
it in the wrong frame of mind or whatever. And
this is actually a good movie for what it's supposed
to be. That being said, some of these just aren't
gonna be good movies. Yeah, And this just wasn't a
good great cast, great director, It looked nice, Yeah, but

(01:00:37):
the story and the script were terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
I don't understand the movies. I don't understand the motivation
for kidnapping either time. None of it made any sense.
They didn't explain anything. It just wasn't a good It just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Didn't hit the mark. And that is what's so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
It's so rare to be this off.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Yeah, to be this off. It just is so rare,
and it's like, what's sucks for me? What I think
I start why I think? I was like almost getting irritated?
Is this movie? You know? Within this time while they
were filming this was Disney's way to give the kids
on their channel that aren't the number one on the

(01:01:18):
call sheet, right, they're the twos, the threes, the fours, whatever,
giving them an opportunity to have a shining light on them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
So I really had high hopes that this was going
to be just such a great movie because I'm sure
the kids appreciated it. I'm sure their parents did you
know what I mean? Like all of that, like it
was it should it was set up to be something
really great and again and am I just in a
bad mood right now? I'm just not interested in watching this?
Or did I set my expectations just too high? Like

(01:01:47):
I kept trying to make it my fault, but it
was like, but I'm lost, I'm lost and this isn't
like making sense, and so you know we'll get to
my sacs subritis ses are more so like suggestion.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I know, no I will, I will
say this. I I was very impressed with Emily Osma. Yeah,
I thought for what they gave her, I thought she
she did great. They should have had her star and
a number of other d coms because she They didn't
give her a whole lot and she every beat was
real and you easily could have made this where this

(01:02:23):
was like, this was terrible, but she was great. So
there's there's some bright lights. But yes, this was a
tough one. Well let's see what other people thought about it,
and let's do our real reviews. Do you want the
five star, the one start? You want the one?

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
I will take the five star and the five star
is written by our old friend who Noma is back.
Here we go. Everyone experiences being written as a book.
Every day we realize something is always missing. But in
fact it was beside us all along. Treasure someone you
love and never let it go away without regrets. Five star.

(01:03:02):
I'm not sure the person even saw the movie, but
there you go. Can you give us the one star?

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Oh? Yes, the one star was from Zachary. Oh why
are you kidnapping dads?

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
It's a logical question. One star? Okay, Well we are
gonna come to the fun part. My favorite and of
course bring his favorite part of the podcast. We are
doing our future game this week, and our future game
this week is called lit or Miss. Thank you very much.
Producer Jensen can come up with him, Kenny. We're gonna

(01:03:36):
be giving the names of classical books and four choices
of authors. If we get three of five authors correctly,
we win. I'm gonna let you pick first every time
because I just glanced at them and I think I
know the answer to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
All do you? Yes? Damn it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
So go ahead. We're gonna start number one. Pride and
Prejudice was Pride and Prejudice written by A. Emily Dickinson, B.
Jane Austen see Charlotte Bronte or D Judy Blue.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
You Jensen please say d.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
U C. Charlotte Bronte is who you think? Okay? I'm
pretty sure Pride and Prejudice is actually a Jane Austen novel.
It's b chance, it's okay, number per chance. Number two,
Moby Dick was that a Mark Twain, B. William Faulkner,
c Herman Melville or D. Dan brown S. D Oh

(01:04:43):
my god, Moby Dick would have been great written by
Dan Brown where it's like Moby Dick is actually you
know Jesus's dad.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
B.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
William Faukner. Okay, I'm gonna go with the right answer,
which is C Herman Melville. Now percentage wise the next
one she's supposed to get just percentage why supposed to get? Oh, no,
number three, to kill a mockingbird?

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
I'm gonna I'm asking percentage.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
A percentage you're supposed to get this one? Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Is it A Truman Capote, B. JD. Salinger, C. Harper
Lee or D. Jackie Collins.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Okay, Oh, I don't know, I have no a.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
Oh the percentages failed us. It is C.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Harper Lee. Is the answer to to kill a mockingbird?
She was? She was Truman Capote's assistant, and that was
the book. She went off and wrote on her own.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
It is, by the way, it is harder to get
zero right then it would be to get all five
percentage wise. Number four.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
The fact that you get so much joy Jensen of
creating this bolt is just insane.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
I don't know which joy as much as.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
It likes joy.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Shame on you, You're bliss. Shame on you, boss boss.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Number four. The picture of Dorian Gray.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Never listens to this episode. She's gonna be so irritated.
Why reader, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Yes, picture of Dorian Gray, A, Edgar Allan Poe, b
Oscar Wilde, C Charles Dickens or d J. K Rowling. A. Okay,
it's b Oscar Wilde is the answer.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
We are so close to a no hitter. I'm so excited.
I can't take that. One more number five, one more crowd?
So silent?

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Is it? A? Is it? You're just picking A? I
mean it's the same chances it's a Victor Hugo, b
Emily Sola See Gustave Flaubert or d Jim Davis. Hey,
you're gonna go a day. It is A.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
She just needed to not hear the names. What she
got right is pick a letter A, B or C.
That's awesome. I think that's honestly, this is the best
boss for alcome.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Shame.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
But by the way, Jensen, I'm gonna need a copy
of Moby Dick written by Dan Brown.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
Sounds like a job for chat GBT.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Thank you so much, producer Jensen for once again making
my day. That is absolutely wonderful. Can we do some
Sabrina sees.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Yes, please, We've got to get past this. Okay, So well,
we basically talked about every single one that was on it.
Just the question of the craziness one of the things
that I, honestly, I'm so glad you brought up. How
we did not see that kind of idea of an

(01:08:13):
action play of the book so that we got a
little bit more. That would have been an easy way
for them to give us the information of these holes.
And again I don't know, I would assume that they did,
but for some reason pulled them out. It has to be.
But the only one we didn't talk about was, you know,
we did like that would explain floss, because floss is

(01:08:33):
not explained at all, how he uses flaws, why floss
is a thing would be done easily by just doing
a quick scene with him with the floss and why
these kids are using floss to tie people up and whatever.
And then I did notice the handcuff situation. I thought
that was a second one of she thinks back about

(01:08:57):
something that her dad wrote in the movie of how
he gotten out of handcuffs before, and that's how she
gets out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
That would have been nice to see.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
The only thing we didn't see or didn't talk about,
but that was like an extra thing, like using that
as a way to explain some of the stuff that
I get it. You're you're trying to keep it quick
and moving, but like it would have been a little
bit helpful. But I did have to ask you, do
you feel like you were triggered because it's all around
this con thing that you go to and you know

(01:09:25):
the ins and outs of it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Like, well, it just was it just it seemed to
be written by somebody who's never really been to a
con That's what I mean. Yeah, that's some of it
is that you know, like the stuff they do on stage,
if they have a contest or something, that stuff can happen.
People dressing up, that stuff can clearly happen. Nobody's throwing
slime and stuff all over the place at a convention.
That doesn't happen. Also, the author of the book would

(01:09:49):
be sitting behind a desk with his book set up,
and there'd be a line of people waiting to meet
him and sign there. He's not just what You're not
just randomly walking around signing autographs at a convention. You're like,
you have a table set up and people come and
talk to you and do so they were let's say
if I'm being generous, they were playing it fast and
loose with the con world.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Okay, y, yes, which I think for some you know,
I what it seems like. Again, I've never done it,
but I watched Big Bang Theory all the time. They
talk about cons a lot, and a lot of the
people go are like really huge and amazing fans and
so awesome. I would think that this would be like
something that they'd be like, that's not how it is

(01:10:29):
at all, Like what you know, it would be like
somebody who does right for Big Bang to not ever
go to them like yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Again, they got some of it right, but a lot
of it not right, just way way off. And I
want to take you to one because they are so
much fun and so inclusive and everybody's welcome and everybody
can just be weird and nerdy. It's the greatest thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
It's awesome, so fun, so fun, you know. But I
feel like that that was something that was kind of going,
I bet you will so irritate. It can't be this
can't be what it's like like it just you know.
And then I was also we like, as the author
of the thing that they're all coming like it's very unsafe.
He has like no security like of any sort, like
not walking around, not how it's done, you know, and

(01:11:11):
staying at that same hotel, like people could walk that happens.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
That happened. Oh there's times where you're you're staying at
the hotel where the convention actually takes place, and you're
riding in the elevator with all the fans and all
that stuff. That's actually that thing happened. That happens quite often.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
I could follow you to your room.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
I mean, you have weird things. Had major problems with
Danielle before.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Not just Danielle. I've had people follow me to different countries, like.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
When we oh my god, oh yeah, no, I got it.
Can be back when we were on tour, it was
so important of where we like, it was to the
point where we had to like take a van away
from the bus and get dropped off because if they
followed our bus, then now we're like, you know, in
a hotel room with somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
And you know how many times that we were on
tour for Podney's World Live or would there be a
group of people waiting in the lobby for us.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Oh gosh, no, that is so unsafe.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Yeah, Okay, anyway, that's real. That happens a lot. Wow, okay,
all right, we weren't staying at the murk, but that's
all right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
I think. God yeah, I mean Adrian had her entire
luggage stolen by like one of the fans that was
out like it saw us come in and our the
assistant was like taking you know, the fans supposed to
put it on a bell hop and like literally she
on tour had no clothes nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
That's the thing is ninety nine point nine percent of
the fans you meet are the nicest, the best, coolest, Yes,
just you just want to hang out with them. They're respectful,
they're the greatest people in the world. It's that tinye
point one percent.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
But the problem is that point one percent stays with
you forever. Yeah, you never forget that. Those those very
small and very far between. Oh yeah, very very small
for sure, you know. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
All right, all right, can we read our our options
for this week? Yeah, I'm not gonna make a joke
on it. One to ten, one bad, ten good. Uh.
Our options this week one out of ten Spoiler Book reports,
one out of ten legally acceptable scrabble ripoffs onion smells
floss floss flosses one out of ten, book splat trip traps,

(01:13:22):
one out of ten, Stockholm syndromes, one out of ten,
double kidnappings, presidential pickles, one out of ten, best pizza
cross in town, or one out of ten large piles
of coleslaw. I think I get to pick this week,
don't I do? And just because it's so difficult to say,
I want to do one out of ten book slap books. Ye,
screw book splat trip traps.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
All right, all right, I think you went first last week.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
If I did, I believe I did.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Okay, so I'm going to go first. And this was
rough because again I have such so much love and
so much respect for these acts, and I freaking love
me some Paul Owen. This was tough for me. There
was too many holes for me to even enjoy it
at all at times. But the cast was phenomenal and

(01:14:11):
they did a great job, so that bumps it up
for me a little bit. I'm giving this a five
point five book slap trap traps into that way, five
five point five book slap traps.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
There you go. Yeah, the the cast saved it a
little bit, but not enough for me. This was this
was I mean, it just was all over the place.
This was such a strange movie. Again, great cast, I
didn't even think about this before you said it. You're
one hundred percent right. It was a great opportunity for
the seconds and thirds on the call sheets to have

(01:14:52):
something to do, and they all did great with what
they were given. But the problem is what they were
given was not good. So yeah, this is this is
to be a four for me four booksplat Trip Traps.
This just this was not a good movie. And some
of them aren't gonna be good. And I think most
people know that we're fans, and fans don't want to
be I don't want to sit here in bash Disney.

(01:15:14):
I don't want to bash actors that we like, and
not every movie is gonna be good, and this, unfortunately
is you know, we're gonna be able to count on
one hand with four fingers left over the amount of
Paul Hoan movies that aren't good on the Disney Channel.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Seriously, this is and I think it goes to show too.
Like we've talked to now Paul and Jason Earles, this
what I don't think this is something they look back
at super fondly either like thinking it was you know, like,
I don't feel like they felt like this was their
They mean, at least neither of them mentioned this one.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Yeah. No, And I think they both just think it's
just weird because it's it is. It's just weird. It's
fever dreamish, nothing makes sense, nothing comes back. Wait, why
are they even kidnapping it? It is a very strange
movie all the way around. Yeah, yeah, well so okay, Well,
thank you everybody for joining us for our next movie.
We're actually only gonna go back for a few years
for a more recent edition of the collection. It's twenty

(01:16:07):
twenty one's Spin, available now to watch via Disney Plus.
And this week, as we've talked about many times now
in our dedicated magical Rewine Feed, we are absolutely thrilled
to have chatted with a Disney legend merv from Dad
napped himself and from another little something. What was that
thing he did? The anamn tana.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
It's Jason Earl's Hannah Banana, as he calls it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Hannah Banana, And we talk about everything. It was a really,
really fun conversation. It really was. Here is a small
taste of what's to come.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
I did a bunch of extra work for Disney before
I ever booked anything.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
And really that's cool if.

Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
You watch that, So Raven, I'm in a ton of that,
So Raven, including my favorite behind the scenes thing of
there was I think it was an episode where she
was like running for student office or something and they
were supposed to be an auditorium full of students, but
like on a Disney budget sometimes there's nine, there was
literally like twenty of us, right, and we wore our
stuff and we sat in a section, and then we

(01:17:04):
went and we changed our clothes and they sat that's
another section. And then so when you look at the scene,
like there's a shot where I'm in like four places.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
It's in port of an outfit.

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
That was a good one. And dcom Icon try saying
that five time fat dcom Icon dcom Icon in our opinion,
he's great. So make sure you subscribe to our dedicated
