Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Sabrina Will Growing up on the West Coast, how often
did you actually get to the beach?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
That used to be something, especially in high school. I
we would get out of school and go straight to
the beach. Oh my god, it's.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So weird to hear from somebody growing up in the
East Coast.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, I mean because I also I was on like
a dance team right on my at my school, so
I got out earlier than a lot of people. You
know that during our athletic like period. It was period,
our sixth period, and we had practice on like Mondays
and Wednesdays. So on Thursday, Friday, you know, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
that's when we would just like as soon as we

(00:55):
got out, we would just meet up one person's car,
all jump in and hop to the beach, go to
It's kind of like that, but now can't stand it.
I hate the beach.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
We've talked about thishere.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, it's hot. I for the first time took Monroe
to the beach by myself with a girlfriend and her
daughter and her son, and was like, this is a nightmare,
you know, because Monroe can swim, but like she can't
really swim very well in like the like I don't.
I had to be right there, right and the girls

(01:29):
were just going back and forth, back and forth, back
and forth, and it was like I'm like, this is
like the most unenjoyable thing I've ever just because it's
so scary the beach, the water, the ocean. And then
Shark Week just happened a couple of weeks ago, Like
now I'm really freaked out. I like, now it's like
my annual of like the ocean is not a safe place,

(01:51):
Like no one should be just chilling in the ocean,
Like do you.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Know if Apparently, if a shark comes at you, the
best way to defend yourself is with strong language. That's
what I've heard.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's like, hey, no, there was one show that was
like how to Survive a shark attack? And I'm like, well,
they say, how you survive you don't go in the ocean.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
But the other one I heard was which is like, okay, yeah,
I'll make sure I do that and think about this
all the time. Where you go under the water and
then as the shark comes at you, you're supposed to
move it, like put your hand on its nose and
push it away.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yes, like push it away are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Sure that as well.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
As you're not supposed to flail around like that like
vibration of what you do in the water, if you
start freaking out, attracts them right to you because of
their like sensors on their bodies. Let me just start floating.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, exactly. Now, everybody knows the proper thing to do
is to cover yourself in seal blood and thrash in
the water. Everybody knows that it's like lifting things in
a quick jerking motion with your lower back. Everybody knows
it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I used to swim in the pool and I would
hear the Jaws theme song like in my pool, thinking
the Jaws was going to come out of the light
that was under my.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well, it's better than the Snels give. Remember the old
Snls gift from the seventies, the land shark killou. It's
like knocking on people's apartment doors. You're that shark. No, ma'am,
I'm a dolphin. Exactly. Well, we're talking about this because
obviously we're going back to the beach. Anyway. Welcome back
to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to
grab your friends, your pjs and your popcorn. And go
back to a time when now the houses were smart,

(03:27):
the waves tsunamis, and the oceans didn't kill you. I'm
Wilfred Dell.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
And I'm Sabrina Bryant.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
That we're back at the beach.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
We're back.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
We here at the Magical Rewind never want the heat
of summer to cool off, and so this week we're
going back in time and back to God keep saying
it Wet Side Story with twenty fifteens musicals Equal Team
Beach two. Yes, we're gonna be saying Wet Side Story
over and over again because we didn't get enough of

(03:54):
the clearly porn title the last time we were here.
So teen Beach two debut on the Disney Channel June
twenty six, twenty fifteen, kicking off Disney's summer programming block,
and this marked their first d com sequel in five years. Wow, Sabrina.
Just like the first teen Beach movie, we're filming in
a very rare location for Disney, Puerto Rico and East

(04:16):
Coast adjacent spot with beaches available and the ability to
film in some pretty luxurious locations, including the beach House
of the Governor, which is impressive. Puerto Rico also had
warehouses big enough to replicate the retro surf town, vital
to the film's main storyline. And surprisingly, it is the
fourth dcom to film in Puerto Rico, so we know

(04:37):
teen Beach one and two were there. There's another movie
we have yet to recap, called The Princess Protection Program.
But what's the fourth? Do you remember the fourth? We
reviewed it? Can we come up with another movie that
filmed in Puerto Rico?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Ooh? No, oh, wait, have we we've already reviewed it? Did?

Speaker 5 (04:58):
No? That was?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Why? Was was the one with that?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
That was based on the show Even Stevens? Was the
Even Stephens movie Puerto Rico? Or was that Hawaii?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think that might be it. That might have been it?

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Wizards, wizards, you call it magicians. You know what, the magicians,
the magical people, Wizards, Wizards of Waverley Places.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, well, there you go. That's the fourth.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
You again, Lisa, thank you.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You must sit there as we review these movies, knowing
very little about them and just cringing because she has
all the knowledge. The core cast from the first movie returned,
and like some other sequels we've seen, no real new
actors joined in at all. I mean, it's a sequel.
They didn't throw in anybody new. It's sort of shocking, right,
And as a reminder, the sequel was set up in
a post credit scene of Teen Beach One, where it

(05:49):
appeared the characters from Wet Side Story still saying it
the fictitious surf movie inside the movie had transported themselves
now to the modern times, which was a flip of
the original screen. And yet that does not play into
the second movie at all. Really, were you shocked to
see that? Don't you remember? They like all came out
of the water. Yes, And then when this movie started,

(06:10):
I was like, wait, what what.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Are we rewinding? At some point, like what's going on?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, we just forget, But.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I was wondering if it was I mean, you would
think by now, because so when we did The Cheetah
Girls and then and High School Musical, I don't even
think High School Musical was one of those franchises where
they I don't know if forced is the right word,
but like they contractually bound them.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
To do multiple, multiple movies.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
So I would think at this point that if they
were planning on doing a second one, this would have
already kind of like been a done thing. But I
don't know when they started doing that. We only know
that for sure about Descendants rights.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't think it was for camp Rock either.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I think it was like, it's another big one high
school musical.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, no, zombies.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
We know they were contracted.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You didn't sign for multiple movies, did you.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
No, they didn't even think are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
They had no idea that The Cheetah Girls was gonna
like blow up and then we're gonna want to do
another one at that point. I don't think besides Johnny Tsunami,
they really had very many sequels.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's true. Yeah, and we still haven't watched that one
an but we will.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Anyway, like the first movie, this sequel was a very
big success for the channel. It clocked a premiere audience
of five point eight million viewers, becoming the most watched
d com since the debut of Team Beach One in
twenty thirteen, breaking its own record. Pretty impressive. And since
it's a musical, you know, we got to talk about
the soundtrack. It was released just three days before the
premiere and featured all the music from the movie and

(07:37):
two songs from outside acts signed to Hollywood Records. The
first was starting Over from R five, which is not
Adroid in the Star Wars universe, but a band that
the star of Teen Beach, Ross Lynch was in with
his brother. The other was a track called Rescue Me
by a pre superstardom. I'm gonna mispronounce this name, Sabrana Carpenter.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Sabrina Carpenter, that's what it is. From a Little Girl
Meets World show. She's alright, let's fantasy cast a little here.
So being a Carpenter would make a pretty good mac,
don't you think.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I thought she would have been good too. Yes, and
her whole.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Like first album like debut song that she put out
had a very teen Beachy look like music video. It
looks like straight out of Teen Beach for sure. It's
and she's adorable in it.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, I like her as a person. She's a total sweetheart.
I'm never I'm not sure I've ever heard her music.
Maybe if in this song, if it was in this movie,
I must have heard it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
If I ever come out with an album, I'm gonna
like come to your house and force you to listen
to it. You will not listen.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Put it on yacht rock or that's the nineties, and
I'll know exactly what it is. But other than that,
I'm gonna have nothing. If it wasn't if it wasn't
Pink Floyd, it wasn't in my house. The soundtrack hit
number one on Billboard's Top Soundtracks and peaked at number
ten on the US Billboard two hundred and even more
accolades for teen Beach two. It got three Teen Choice
nominations Best Song from a Movie or TV Show, Choice

(09:01):
Summer TV Male Star for Ross Lynch, and Choice Summer
TV Female Star for Maya Mitchell. Okay, so after the
Team Beach one movie, knowing we had a little sequel
easter egg at the end, were you excited to see
this movie?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I was.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I loved the first one.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I loved the music in it, I loved the choreography
I remember loving. I was excited because I remember how
visual it was like with the surfboards and the you know,
they would always make really awesome visual pictures as they
were doing their performances. So I was looking forward to it.
I love Ross Lynch too, He's absolutely awesome, and he's,

(09:37):
in my opinion, like such a star, like he's just
he's so uber talented that I was really excited.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, I was too. Actually, we both really liked the
first Team Beach movie. Yeah. The thing that I liked
about it is it was kind of making fun of
the musical where she's like singing, doesn't know why she's singing,
and how do I know? The dance summer it was great. Yes,
it did not take itself seriously. It was it's it
knew what it was every step of the way.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
It leaned into the GZ aspect.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Music.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
A ton of problems. Obviously, there's some story stuff that
makes no sense. We're going to get in all that,
some things where it's like, what the hell is that?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
So many times like but it was.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
It was confusing and weird. But the performances were great.
The music's catchy. It was fun to watch. It was
it was what it was so well, join us then,
as we're on our way to save the beach and
eat some big mamas. So let's hang ten on the synopsis,
Brady and Mack reunite after their summer adventure, only to
discover the characters from God, I can't say it anymore.

(10:38):
Wet Side Story have now mysteriously washed up in their
modern day reality. Director Jeff Hornaday returns from part two.
He directed the original and has a heavy background in dance.
He was a choreographer for Flash Dance For God's Sakes
and a ton of other classics like Streets of Fire. Ugh,
amazing movie. If you haven't seen it, go see it
right now. It is absolutely just the coolest thing ever.

(11:00):
And oh man, did I fall in love with her? Anyway? Sorry,
I'm off in a little tangent a chorus line. Great movie.
Michael Jackson's Captain EO and Dick Tracy, And as far
as musicians he's worked with, how about Madonna, Stevie Nicks,
Backstreet Boys and Jennifer Lopez no O Biggie. Then, Much
like Kenny Ortega, he transitioned into directing with his big
break coming in twenty eleven with the John Travolta film Shout.

(11:21):
His only other film credit outside of these two Team
Beach d coms is another dcom starring Sarah Hiland called
geek Charming. So put it on the list, Tara, And
when it comes to the cast, Disney had their own
ironclad contracts to make sure everyone returns, So I guess
they did, so let's kick it off with Ross Lynch.
He's back as Brady. He's known to our audience as
Austin from the show Austin and Aally and the Disney Channel,

(11:43):
but he also played Harvey Kinkel on The Chilling Adventures
of Sabrina and on the other end of the spectrum.
He played Jeffrey Dahmer in the movie My Friend Dahmer,
so very different roles. He's currently won half of the
band The Driver Era alongside his brother Rocky, who were
the former members of Our a band that, like I said,
you can hear in this movie. And Maya Mitchell returns

(12:04):
as Mackenzie or mack. Maya played Calli on the TV
show The Fosters, then revisited that role in the spinoff
show Good Trouble. She was also recently seen in the
horror movie based on a video game Until Dawn. Grace
Gillian plays the female lead of the movie. Within the movie,
Layla Grace made her film debut in twenty eleven's Fright
Night remake and appeared in ten episodes of Vampire Diaries

(12:24):
and an episode of Austin and Alley. She also starred
in a movie called Murder at the Murder Mystery Party,
which I think the title could have been workshoped a bit.
And then we've got Garrett Clayton. He's again the lovable
male lead Tanner from Wet Side Story who just stole
this movie in my opinion, Oh my god, it was
so funny.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
But he had me belly laughingly.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Me too many times, Me too. Garrett is best known
as Link from Harrispray Live, as well as from episodes
of Shake It Up, Jesse and The Fosters, where I
assume he first met Maya, and then fan favorite and
friend of the show John de Luca is back as Butchy.
John has been seen in a ton of stuff, including
Ugly Betty, This Life of the American Teenager, General Hospital,
and The American Horror Story or is it just American

(13:04):
Horror Story? I've never seen it, but I think it's
just American Horror Story? I added the sorry. Also worth
noting he was the original Bucky on the failed Disney
TV show pilot Zombies and Cheerleaders.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Which.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Was later turned into the Zombies movie franchise Something Horribly
He's not in. Ever, Throw the guy a role in
one of those, because he deserves it. Yes, another return
is Chrissy fit our beloved Chee Chee. She's flow and
pitch perfect two and three and was wonderful, but also
has been seen on General Hospital, the TV version of
I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Aquafina Show.

(13:37):
Another fan favorite, Jordan Fisher, is back as Seacat. It
is a small part, but he was a Disney regular
back in the day, appearing on I Carly, The Thunderman's
and Livin Maddie, but was recently the voice of Robert,
a member of the fake band for Town in the
movie Turning Red. Okay, there's this whole bunch of words
there I'll never understand lot. Yeah, exactly, and this movie runs.

(14:01):
I'm sorry, I'm taking a long pause because that's how
long the movie was. One hundred and four minutes. Horrendous people,
truly disgusting. I'm appalled, fourteen whole minutes over the target,
which is basically another movie. In my opinion, why not
just make it three hours long and have an intermission
in the middle.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Where it happens too is a lot of and although
I enjoyed it, a lot of the dances at like
the performances were so long, like to the point where
I'm like, we're still going, like there's still dancing on
lunch tables.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And one of the things, yeah, one of the dances.
I liked the dancing, but I didn't like the song
so I and it's kind of an important one but
it probably should have been cut. But anyway, I would
love to just stop the podcast now, just like just.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Like cut it down.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
It doesn't have to be gone gone, but like drown
and for that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's Godfather's like one hundred and six. I'm kidding, it's
longer than that. But ah, I want to just shut
the podcast down right now and call but I'll power on. Okay,
I'm kidding. It's just long. We have a packed house
when it comes to the writers. Maybe that's why it's
so long. It's based on characters by Vince Marcello and
Mark Landry, the two writers from the first movie, obviously

(15:14):
something that has happened to every franchise. And we have
a story credit to Robert Horne, another writer from the
first movie, but sneaking in there with another story by
credit is dcom legend, the writer of All Things Good,
Dan Berenson. Again pick a dcom of the two thousands,
and chances are he wrote it with our other writer
friend we have on the podcast. It's like we're covering everybody,

(15:36):
covering every base. The two guys wrote everything. Yeah, so
next to Stu Kreeger, it's just if it's just Stu
Kreeger and Dan Berenson, you've got the Disney Channel for
like twenty years, you'd get crazy. Yeah, you're good, Yes,
but the true screenplay credit goes to Matt and Billy
Eddie Brothers, whose other credits include the dcom Zapped, Bad
Hair Day, and Invisible Sister, as well as Nickelodeon's Monster

(15:59):
High Movie and Monster High Too. Okay, we're right where
we want to be because this is meant to be.
We're starting over with a silver scream gem that is
guaranteed to twist your frown upside down. Let's get into

(16:21):
Teen Beach Too, or Teen Beach DH as it was
called in France. We open with Mac and Brady walking
on the beach. Brady is leading the way because Mac
is blindfolded, it has no clue where she's going, but
she knows it's not some hostage situation or a night
of surfing it's a date commemorating the three month anniversary,
and he's taking her to a very romantic spot where
they met. And I thought it was very strange that

(16:42):
as she was blindfolded, he said, do you recognize this place?
And she did. He then goes on to say, it's
been the most bodacious summer, even though they got trapped
inside a movie. And now we know we're picking up
shortly after the first teen beach ended, and I dig that.
I like just picking up where we left off. Good,
good plan. A little bit after, Brady finally removes her

(17:03):
blindfold and he's recreated their first rendezvous the night they
watched Wet Side Story together. Can't get a wear that nowadays.
Hey babe, why don't we go somewhere and watch Wet
Side Story together? You're gonna get a slap, he announces
they're gonna watch it again, leading us to our first song,
Best Summer ever, that's been in my head for three days,
with the projected cast of the movie leading the way.

(17:25):
The surface and bikers together for a big number with
our two love birds singing along, and as the track end,
Brady rushes her to the beach with their boards so
they will be surfing. After all, what did you think
of the first song and dance, Sabrina?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
It was cute.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
It was like I thought, it was a great like
little intro into like remembering where we're going with this movie.
You know where we've been and where we're going with it.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm literally the middle of the night last night, I
woke up at three o'clock in the morning, going.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Like, oh God, what's happened.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
So, I mean, that's got to tell you. It's got
to show you something, right. I mean, I've been into
the I'm walking around going times and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh my god, cut it out, poor Sue.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I know that's true. It's true. Now out in the ocean,
chilling on their boards, they talk about being the last
day of summer. They start. They do a lot of
night swimming in a place where things can kill you,
which I.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Again, I'm telling you the whole time, I'm thinking, like
all of the shows I've been watching on Shark Week, like,
you should not be in the ocean right now. You know,
you wouldn't even know that a shark was coming. It's dark.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's a very it's a very very bad time to
be incredibly unsafe. Yes, yeah, but not in Disney movies.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
They talk about it being the last day of summer.
They start school tomorrow and she will be very busy
with classes. But Brady, well, he won't be. He's a
lazy surfing bro and he loves it, but he worries
that things might be a little different for them now
that they'll be in school. They'll be in a totally
new environment. Mac thinks they'll be fine, but Brady is
clearly worried. And that's when Mac realizes she's lost her necklace.
It's the only thing she has from her time in

(18:58):
Wet Side Story. It was a from Layla And then
we the audience see it floating and twinkling to the
bottom of the ocean, Titanic style. That woman had the
eighty million dollar necklace the entire time. Yeah, and then
dies and goes instantly to Leonardo DiCaprio, like her husband
of forty years is sitting there waiting with roses, like,
where the hell is she? And she going to Leonardo DiCaprio,

(19:20):
the guy I knew for two days. Thanks, thanks babe.
Then we're thrown in the first day of school. Students
are just arriving to Windy Bluff High including the one
man Stoke Machine, Devin, Brady's best friend, who is skateboarding
and filming himself. He reunites with Brady and we see
there a very long and very complicated handshake. They catch
up about their summers, including news of Brady's new girlfriend, Mack,

(19:42):
who he pretends is a natural, very chill beach bum.
She isn't. She's an uptight book nerd. Now in the halls,
Mac is handing out flyers for her oceanography club, a
new initiative she conceived when she decided not to transfer
to a prep school this year. She catches up with
her pal, another overachiever, Alyssa, who reveals she's recently hung
out with the cutest boy in school, Spencer Watkins. Then,

(20:04):
right on time, Brady pops up, where in flip flops,
he introduces Mac A's his girlfriend, completely shocking Devin and Alyssa.
It's a real opposite to track kind of deal. One
of them's a surfer and the other can read. The
couple tries to make plans, but Mac is swamped with
study groups and extra curricular clubs. Curricular and curriculum are
always so difficult to say for me, but they do

(20:27):
meet back up in third period marine biology Awesome High School,
where Brady is sketching some surfboard ideas instead of doing
the lab project. And for marine biology, I'm wondering what
they're doing with bunts and burners and beakers and everything.
But hey, I guess maybe I don't know the ocean.
I mean, she even says I love biology, and then

(20:47):
she said I think I love chemistry. And it's like, Okay,
what class are you in?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
But I mean it makes sense though, like sometimes they
feel like teachers teach different courses, like they don't have
all of.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Their right but this is the class they're in together.
So this is supposed to be third period marine biology, right,
So then what are they doing with beakers?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Well, I yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't I must not know the actual that it
must be doing something oceany Yeah, then cutie Spencer Watkins
runs into a very awkward Alyssa, who eventually just trips
and breaks some beakers, but in reality appears Spencer's actually
into Mac. He's the chair of the Environmental Study Society
and wants to collaborate with her on the new environmental club,
but is really flirty about it. It seems like they seem

(21:31):
to hit it off, and Brady is immediately threatened. He
throws himself into their conversation. We get some serious cringe
moments here. Now with the lab assignment, whatever the hell
it is, in full swing, the girls look right at
home while while our surfer bros barely pay attention, and
Brady gets even more insecure when he sees Mac and
Spencer chatting it up about spending a future semester at
sea together once classes is Miss Max shows Brady some

(21:53):
bracelets she'll be selling It or Save the Beach Dance,
and they're pretty underwhelming if you ask me. Brady invites
her to go surfing, but Max's she's too busy prepping
for the event. Brady suggests a wet side story theme
at the beach, but she argues that no one else
in the school has seen the movie. She reminds him
about the college fair later, something she's very much looking
forward to, and he is clearly dreading. So Brady goes

(22:14):
off to surf, stopping at his little bamboo shack, which
on that beach and wherever they're supposed to be Hawaii
whatever is probably a seven or eight million dollars surf
shack to apply online to college. And we know this
because college application is in huge letters on the screen.
Not the specific college, not whatever, just college application. It's like, oh,

(22:35):
I guess he's applying to college. He doesn't even know
where to start, so he shifts his focus back to
his secret surfboard sketches. Brady's mom, who I don't think
we met. In the first one we had his Barry
Bosswick played his grandfather or father. It was his grandfather
right that he lived. Yes, yeah, I don't think we
met her.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
We never meet his dad either, even within the second movie. Yeah,
which is weird because I feel like it we usually
at least get the parents of.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
The main characters, right, and we didn't see her at all.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
There was really no adult see in this movie at all.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, I can't remember if we saw it.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Weren't even really teachers, I don't feel like no.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
But we do get to meet Brady's mom very briefly.
For one scene. She stops by and they chat about
his college dilemma, and she's like, hey, maybe pick a
college instead of just going to college application. She doesn't
actually say that but she should. He has no idea
what he wants to do in the fact that Mac
has her entire future planned out is very intimidating. She
tells him not to stress, all things will work out
in time. Again, left alone with his sketches, it should

(23:34):
come as no surprise that he's also watching his favorite movie,
the one he was sucked into, Wet Side Story, which
I've now said so many times it's starting to sound normal.
It's a scene where tan No, it's not, it's not
at all. It's a scene where Tanner is ready to
leave the beach and his new biker Chick Layla I
can say chick, because it's supposed to be the sixties,
is going to be left behind. She's nervous for him,

(23:54):
but also volunteers to tag along. Everyone's shocked to hear
the suggestion women aren't meant to do an anything important,
but Leila argues she might be able to help. He
lets her know the harsh reality of the fifties and sixties,
and she admits she has no idea what she was thinking.
She tells him to be brave and the men I'll
leave the woman behind. So does this mean the original
movie has now changed so that there's time travel. Like

(24:15):
I I liked the idea that it seemed like ever
since our two main characters got too wet side story.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
There's a shift.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
There's a shift, and and they're almost like the characters
in that movie are starting to wake up, especially Layla
is starting to wake up to changing the world around
her or around them the other characters. So I like that,
but I didn't understand kind of what they were. It
would this be happening if he wasn't watching the movie?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
I mean, yeah, I think that's the idea, is that
it's like, yeah, the shifts happen now that like they
they didn't forget about, right, the two characters coming.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
In, But do the shifts ship do they happen in
the movie? Like if he's watching the screen, is the
movie now different than the one he's been watching forever?
Because she's now changing.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
She wants to do back and forth because that was
That's what I mean. She drops into his arms like
that whole thing happens again, but she's changed now, so
that's when she's like, I can't do this anymore. So yeah,
so it's like a replay of the movie, but now
she's the one. She's really the one that's making the
big moves for this, right.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
But if I'm myself sitting there in teen Beachland and
I turn on my TV to wet some whatever it
is wet wet side story, am I now watching a
different movie than was originally there?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
That's what I think the intention?

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Okay, gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, we are back in the expensive
hut workshop. Brady's deep into his surfboard plans when he
realizes he's late for the college fair. Oh no. He
jumps up to get changed, it did nicer clothes and
speeds off in the rain in a two person bike
by himself. For some reason, he's had a two person bike.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I got either, Like what why?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Why he's got a two person bike? Anyway, he speeds
off into the rain. He makes the fair just as
it's closing and sees Mac hanging out with the dork
spencer again, and there's a great shot of him just
in the rain. Now he's totally drenched. She wants to
know what's going on here. Mac is disappointed he missed
the fair. Yet Brady's the one who's angry for no
real reason at all. He's the late one Mack even

(26:26):
reveals she's been texting him trying to find out where
he was. The argument is over his immaturity and the
idea that their relationship seems low on her priority list.
They stubbornly agree that maybe they won't work during the
school year. After all, what are couple's breaking up already?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
And it's like over really like nothing, like I'm sorry,
I'm late, Mac, But.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
He also didn't even show It's so funny, Oh my god,
you instantly went on to his side where I'm like,
but wait a minute. She they wanted to do one
thing together. They're going to the college fair. He doesn't
show up at all. She's been texting all day and
he shows up.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, that didn't make sense, But it was also kind
of like I mean for her to be like we're
just not gonna work out, Like okay, wow, wow, I
meant let him have it. I'm all about letting him
have it, but like, now you can't be with this
person because of one mistake, like man, yeah, that and
Anti wears flip flops that you don't like. Like this

(27:21):
is just getting crazy. Max in all fairness too much.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
He didn't even bring a bag to school, like he's
got nothing. Yeah, he just walks in with a pen.
It's like, dude, you gotta get your learn on a bit.
I get you on a surf. That's great. But anyway, Yeah,
he's a she's a bit too much and he's not enough.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
I guess, yeah he's not.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Later, Max sits atop a lifeguard tower as a sad
song plays. She's obviously affected, and so is Brady, who's
on his balcony playing an acoustic guitar. Imagine being surprised
he plays an acoustic guitar. He's very much the acoustic
guitar type he is. But the song is on my
own and ode to his new breakup and being single
for a few hours. Apparently he already writes it. First
do we think of? Okay? What do you I? Okay,

(28:09):
I really liked this song. I did this is this
is one where I was like, Okay, it's very Matchbox
twenty adjacent. Yeah, yeah, but I liked this. I also
was trying to remember was he a musician in the
first one?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I was trying to remember too, And we both said
we were going to watch the first one, I know,
and then we never did, and we did.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
It and this is when I went damn it.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Then like I just like and then then he's got.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Thousands of dollars worth of equipment as he's recording songs.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't remember that being a part of his
storyline of him being like this, like you know.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
But then it's never mentioned again. He doesn't play heard
the song he's recording, he doesn't say I want to
be a musician, he doesn't say. It's literally never mentioned
against it's.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Honestly to like they were using the opportunity of like
Ross Lynch at this point, especially like their band was
really doing well and that's was like his thing, so
they they took the first movie. I think he just
booked it for you know, sure whatever, and then they
kind of tried to like push it into like the
fact that he's like like a little rock star.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Right, But then why don't they do it the way
they've done every other song in every other musical, where
he walks on the beach and dances, he plays his
guitar and he sings the song. Why didn't have to
set it up where he's literally setting up recording equipment
and recording a song by himself in a hut that
he never plays for anybody. He never talks about wanting
to be a musician before or after. It never comes

(29:43):
up again. So what made them go, you know, we're
gonna have to record a song instead of taking that
acoustic guitar and have him walking in the waves and
surfing at night. I mean, they do it every movie.
This was just it was so strange to me where
it's like, now, I know, it's kind of me to me.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I just literally instantly went like, oh, they're trying to
obviously highlight who Ross actually is, not his character, but
who he actually is is a.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Person, mention it or play the song for the girl
or something. I mean, yeah, and it happened.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I was assuming it was kind of come back, and
it never means. However, we're still at one hundred and
five minutes. I know, when when the hell do we
have time to actually bring it back.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I don't know, but man, they should have because it's like,
you gotta you know, if you're gonna set up something
like that, it's got to pay off somewhere. And also,
were you surprised by this point in the movie that
that wet side story, like the characters weren't integrated at
all at this point. I mean we're like, what twenty
minutes in something like that. Yeah, we're letting the wet

(30:46):
side story, but they're not interacting. So yeah, and again,
the last one ended them all walking out of the water.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
That's what I'm just gonna say. And I get them
going like, but we what they were? Aren't they already here?
Like where are they? Like this house?

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Are they at?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Prediculous? We talked about this. Yeah, yeah, okay, well it
was strange.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
I was kind of like, again, going that it's interesting
that they did that at the end because really, remember
that was like an extra scene that wasn't even necessarily needed,
like it didn't wrap up anything. It was already a
done movie. And then they did it like teasing for
the second movie.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
They kind of did that with the Zombies. It was
was a Zombies three where we thought it was Zombies
two maybe where we thought the next one was going
to be Mermaids, Like they really set it up. It
was kind of ocean based, and then it never happened. Yeah. Yeah,
and then so they're bringing that back now at the
end of four. Yeah, but it was Zombies.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Four Zombies two though, Remember there was.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
A poster of like Aliens, like they a cartoon part
thing where they do the wrap up.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
There wasn't Aliens.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, yeah, they're already trying to bring it back. But anyway,
once this song that he's recording for nobody but himself
on really expensive equipment is done, Wet Side Story is
back on TV. It's a big diner scene between Tanner
and when they first meet, blended together the two social
groups that have never been able to mix. But now
she breaks character and says she can't do this anymore.
Everyone in the diner stops that they're doing. Some even

(32:09):
fall to the ground and shock. This isn't supposed to happen.
Leela runs out the door and her brother biker Butchi
is very concerned. Tanner chases after her to find her
frozen staring out into the ocean. She admits ever since
Mac and Brady visited, she feels different. She wants new experiences,
and that's when she sees it. The necklace she gave
Mac has now washed up on shore, and she thinks
it's a sign she must be reunited with Mack. She

(32:31):
says goodbye to a very confused Tanner. Then the surfers,
then the bikers, then the people who always stand around
in the background whose name she doesn't know. That's great,
and then she just walks into the ocean. Tanner hysterically
because he hates the cold water, follows her in and poof,
they're gone. And this is where Tanner just started to
steal this movie for me.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Sae.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
He was great. The next morning, Oh my god, he was.
She's so was she. They were both great.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yes, he was good in the last one, but he
really took this character to the next level, really did,
and it worked. It would so well.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Any more would have been too much, Yeah, but he
did just the right amount. It was very, very funny.
The next morning, the that and Tennify themselves washed up
on shore too, and immediately spot a man on a flyboard,
those odd jet packs you wear on your feet to
launch you out of the water. This is a very
twenty tens type of thing. Have you ever met anybody
who's ever done these? No?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
But I would love for Jordan to try, because I
think he'd be so good at it, because he's.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I think it looks like if you can surfer, you
can snowboard if you've got that kind of balance and
the core strength then you can probably do it.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
But it's I've seen people.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
I've actually been like in Newport on like a duffy
and seen someone out in the bay air like the area,
like actually doing it.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
What's a duffy.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
A duffy is like a little it's a it's a
like a small boat that you like a dinghy. No, No,
like a boat. It's a small boat like holds like
anywhere from like eight to twelve people.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
It's got a little table in the middle.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
It's like electric duffy.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
I he that. Oh, it's they're so nice. You take
them out in the water. You can like do like
a cheeseboard and like just like god, yes.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Okay, duffy and cheese. I'm down.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
You're gonna do it's I love it.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
That will be our first hangout, yes, and then seven years,
five years.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
We'll do a duffy and cheese. I love it. The
duo from the sixties is then confused by some joggers
and wetsuits and flabberg acid by a guitar player with
dreadlocks that makes him look like he's in the band pod.
In short, they are way out of their element, and
when they ask for help from a surfer. They're offered
a cell phone, and Tenner thinks it's a little lady
in a little box. While Brady heads to the ocean,

(34:50):
he spots Mac picking up trash in the beach. They
have a very tense exchange, then Mac notices some people
running towards them. It's Leila and Tanner. Brady and Mack
explain that they're in the future, and that leads us
to our next song Right Where I Want to Be
a track all about their new surroundings. Tanner discovers remote
control helicopters, break dancing, and those guys who paint themselves
silver for tips, And I think, oh my god, if

(35:14):
if I'm right about this, I have not googled because
I didn't want to know, but I think the guy
all painted up in silver doing the robot is the
same guy who does all the robot stuff in Step
up two through five, And so if I recognize that
guy covered in silver paint, if I'm right, I'm going
to be shocked. But I think that's how much of
a step up fan I am is I'm pretty sure

(35:35):
the same guy.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I cannot even believe you.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Lisa's honest, Lisa, I'm pretty I swear to God, I
have not looked, but I think it's the same guy.
If I'm right, I'm going to be shocked.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
That I'm gonna just die.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Let's where I think it's him.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Okay, man, and if only we had al I'm right,
I'm right you are.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, okay, right.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
I knew that.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I was like, that's the guy from the Step Up movies,
and even I recognize me painted all Solver. That's oh
my step up to the streets where we first meet him?
It's very important. Was it in two or three where
we met him? I think we met him in two anyway.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
I don't know, You're insane.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
What did you think? Okay, so this is where this
we're talking about, right where I want to be? Track
about their new surroundings, the break dancing guy Leila learns
here about women's rights, which is cool. What did you
think about where I want to be? Right where I
want to be? This song?

Speaker 2 (36:35):
This wasn't my more memorable one. This one was kind
of like cute. But again, I do think I want
to know how long these ones are because this is
I think the first one that I'm going got these
these musicals they're starting to get long. This is the
first one. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't like
super impressionable to me.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
What did you think?

Speaker 1 (36:55):
I again, I like the two of them together and
people looking around them like who the hell is this
and then joining in and not knowing why they're joining in.
They do that again at the school. Yeah, but I
think if I think, if you could cut one, I
would have cut this this one song. And I didn't
mind the song, whereas the next one. I liked the
dancing and hated the song. And we'll get into that.

(37:17):
But it was yeah, I mean it was, it was okay.
While Leela and Tanner continue their exploration of a new decade,
Brady and Mack realize it'll be tough to control these two,
especially once they notice that their hair still doesn't get wet,
which is a funny observation from teen Beach one. Leila
and Tanner discuss if revealing to their friends that their
fictional characters from a movie is the right thing to do,
but for now, they decide to just take it slow.

(37:39):
We're back at Max's house. Leela is learning all about
iPods and preparing her wardrobe for Wendy bluff, but no
matter what she tries on, she emerges looking like a
girl from the sixties. Very clever.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
I loved that part. It was very cool, so funny.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yep, we are now back in Wet Side Story. I
guess just got to lean into it. But she admits
to the cast that nothing feels right since Leela and
Tanner walked into the ocean if, as they noticed, just stopped.
They wonder if singing a song will help. So we
get Chrissy fit as Chee Chee singing our next track,
Fallen for You, a fun comedic jingle from the first
movie that now includes some infighting with Seacat. What did

(38:12):
you think of this one?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
I thought this one was cute. I actually really liked it.
It was I thought it was great to see again,
we haven't really seen a lot of the Wet Side
Story characters, right, so it was nice for them to
have like a moment. I really did actually like it.
It shows off how funny all these characters are, and
the actors like just did really really well with this one.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I thought, I agree, and I think if memory serves
some of the first one of these that we did.
The woman to the if you're looking at the screen
to the left of Chee Chee, who was her number
one singer, the Long Dark Hair. She was also the choreographer,
if memory serves that was that was. It was her
and somebody else that did the choreography for the first movie,

(38:57):
And I'm pretty sure for this one this one as well.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, had a bigger This movie seemed very seamless with
the other one when it comes to choreography.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, and it seems like pretty sure that was the one.
She did the first one and did this one as well.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
When even a song doesn't help, it's undeniable that things
are off. And then one of the background surfers disappears.
He just zaps away. No one notices, though, because they're
all too focused on a girl shaking her butt. I'd
explain more about that, but it's probably funnier to just
leave it at that. Back at modern day Windy Bluff
High School, Tanner and Leila have joined Brady and Mack
to get some ground rules down. Don't do anything that

(39:32):
gives them the way, like getting their hair wet or
letting them their white teeth. Blaying is, like Tanner, always
a good thing when he opens his teeth, but especially
no singing, not even if it's from the heart or
moves the story along. I love how she said that,
not even from the heart, it moves the story alone,
again not taking itself seriously, kind of making fun of
movies as they go. While walking the halls, Tanner is

(39:54):
naturally standing out. The ladies love him, even a goth one.
Brady introduces his new friend to Devin as his cousin
Dolph from Iceland. Unfortunately, Devin had been to Iceland before,
so that made for a few tough questions, but in
the end, Devin loves Dolph and Tanner is excited for
a day in school, and Leela is really loving her
classes already She's learning a lot and proving it basically
be a genius. And in the hallway with Max, she

(40:16):
meets Spencer and is stunned by how cute he is.
Is he? Is he cute? He seemed cute? Is he cute?

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Guy?

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah? He was?

Speaker 4 (40:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I wish we had more of what his credits are
because he looked so familiar. I couldn't remember where I've
seen him before, to the point where I'm like, have
I worked with it?

Speaker 5 (40:38):
Why?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Why does this guy look so familiar, but I could
not place him. But yeah, he was really cute and
I liked how different he looked, Like I love that
they have so many different looking people that are like, yeah,
so adorable in this movie, like we hit all the boxes.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Like again, arguably, I think we talked about this last movie,
but this would be up there too. Is arguably best
looking cast overall. Yes, I mean you think about from
each character down, like every everybody's Layla.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Is a stunning, stunning girl.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Oh gorgeous, distractingly.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Yes, with her eyes like and I mean it.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Was just and she's so good in this movie and
yeah she's Yeah, I felt the same way. I have
to ask, though, because we've got another another boy cutie
for you, Ross Lynch. Would he have been on your
wall as a kid?

Speaker 4 (41:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (41:29):
No, not your title?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
And I worked with Ross Ross and I did a
chorus line at the Hollywood Bowl together, Okay, and he
is so sweet, Like I mean, I think it's like
one of those things like I probably if I was
younger and got to know Ross, not necessarily like this character,
but if I got to know him, yeah, I'd probably
have a crush because he's just so sweet, like such
a nice guy.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
You'd I know, I can't find anyone. You know.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
What's crazy is like the closest one. I think that
sort of looks like George and is the the beach
guy like Jordan. Yeah, he looks like Jordan's all right,
fair enough? No not no, not Bogie, the one that
stole the show Tannery.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Oh really he looks almost like Jordan, who doesn't actually exist.
That's awesome, pretty sure. Mac introduces Leela as cousin Delga
from Finland, which seems like quite a coincidence between her
and Brady regarding calling them cousins, also from like the
same part of the world. But anyway. Spencer apologizes if
he's causing any problems with Brady yesterday and asked about
the upcoming Save the Beach dance. The other thing they

(42:38):
never get into save the beach from what?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, just it's just that she's it just is like
implying that she's like an activist, like I know, but
they didn't.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
They never talk about saving the beach from. What is
a corporation coming in? Are are people? She talks about litter?
Just what are they saving the beach from? I'd love
to know just right. I need I need to know
the rules again.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
But anyway, and it was a big dance. It was
like the size of like a homecoming, like yeah, prom
It was not like a little beach, you know. It
was like, yep, this is big.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah, I agree. Mac admits they haven't sold many tickets,
but Laila is now very excited for it. They also
bump into Alyssa and she immediately hits it off with Laila.
Seems like everything is working out for the friends from
the sixties movie. Mac and Brady regroup at lunch, detailing
the disasters of a day they're living out. But Brady
has a plan. He wants to let Layla and Tanner
loose in the most confusing, scary place possible, the cafeteria.

(43:33):
And then we see Tanner and Layla still sticking out
like sore thumbs, looking for a place to sit neat.
They're laughed at by the nerds, the cheerleaders, the skateboarders,
the punks, and the preppies, eventually landing at the football jocks,
who proceed to bully them. And despite the earlier warning
from their friends, Tanner and Layla turn this into a song.
It's called Twist your frown upside down. It's a track

(43:53):
encouraging the student body to be friendlier every Eventually all
the social groups join in, even Brady and Mac in
the quarterback. What do we think about this one, Sabrina, No, no, no,
this was not for you again.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Well, I have a big thing to talk about in
my Sabrita seas with it. But the visuals of this
this was like this for me. I did love in
the sense of the visuals of what they do when
they do those like aerial shots of like you know,
creating these great pictures. Those are the things like I
really remember. But the song itself was like, I mean,

(44:33):
I love cheesy moments. This was just like the dumbest
song to me. And I'm sorry I they be so
rude about it, but if you know, it's hard for
me to be just.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Like you don't like I do not like the color
as your shirt right now?

Speaker 4 (44:53):
This one was.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Just like I just feel like I was looking at
the gave me like, are we for real?

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Naw? So cool aspect of it at all?

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Playing Devil's Advocate. Isn't it supposed to be sixties teen
beach kids doing a cheesy song? Yes, all the people
in the cafeteria, like not knowing why they're joining in,
like looking around, like why am I dancing like this?

Speaker 2 (45:17):
That part of this stuff was really funny. But even
at the end when the jock like, I mean it
was so quick the move songs over and he's like,
we will never talk about this again.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
What because he put the he put the.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Nerd in the both of their hands like it just
like you know it just I think it went a
one or two or twenty steps too far from me? Okay,
what about you? Did you love it?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
I loved what they again, I love it didn't take
itself seriously. The song was the song. I mean, the
song was the song.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
But the choreography was good and I love the idea good,
But the song was just like I know, I.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Mean I like all the groups joining in and not
knowing why they were joining Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
I loved the concept of it. It's just the song itself.
To me, this is what I think of that when
I listen to these kinds of songs, I think of,
would this be something I would like love performing? And
that would be a hard no for me. I would
have been really.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Good no for me. Doug, Yeah, it no for me,
doug Ah.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
It was like I would have been really embarrassed. And
again I don't say that very often about knowing the
things you don't, so if it's gone too far, then
it's like.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
It's gone far.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Okay, I love that.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
Well.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
We are back at Big Mama's in the sixties. Wet
Side story is just off the rails at this point,
everyone is bored and confused, and they finally notice that
people are starting to disappear. Back at school, kids actually
love the singing our sixties. Transplants are becoming very popular,
and Mac has focused on learning stuff, something she's not
allowed to do back home, and now Brady's workshop. Something
is bothering Tanner. This is a great scene. He's been thinking,

(46:53):
and he usually doesn't do that. Leila's always been so
focused on him ever since she's just walked out of
the ocean thinking for herself. It's made him feel different.
He's nervous things won't work out. Tanner explains that's called worry.
What if he's not enough for her? Tanner suggests to
be the best dude he can be and hope for
the best. He admits he's having a bit of a
rough patch with Mac two, he's been too focused on

(47:15):
those surfboard ideas, and we finally get a glimpse of
what they are, rotating fins, a folding surfboard for suitcases,
and another board that doesn't even need waves. Tanner says
he's never shown Mac because he thinks she'll judge him
for spending too much time surfing, and where he has
this moment. Tanner has this moment where he's still trying
to be happy and fun but his eyes fill up
with tears because he doesn't know what he's feeling. Great beat,

(47:38):
so good. He was so good in this movie. He
was so good in this Yes.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
He's shined. I don't remember him being like this like
Shiny Star of.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Now who we liked him if memory serves, But this.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Was not as his character had so much growth in
this movie and it really allowed him to show his
acting chops, like on a whole other level.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
I agree, but that where he's he's got this big
smile on his face still but his eyes are filling
with tears and he doesn't know it was and he's.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Really so adorable, Like he's just so cute.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Best arguably best looking cast we've had. I yes, they're
up there. We are over. We say that with every
movie though, because then we go we watch like another
Zombies or another just sent like everybody here's gorgeous too. Sure,
we're over. At Max House, Leela admits she's never been
this happy. She loves school and lip gloss, but Mac
explains the real world isn't actually that great, with finals

(48:37):
and taxes and global warming and even public restrooms.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Like this fifteen year old is talking about taxes. What
do you know about taxes?

Speaker 4 (48:45):
Mac? Like you know about taxes?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
My god, I gotta have my personal taxes in the
fifteen Yeah, she doesn't.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
She does such a weird line for me, for her, like, ah, what, Like,
I get it, she's mature. I do that as her character.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
But like taxes, Yeah, come, you're not doing your taxes.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Let's pull it back in.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
You're not doing your taxes. She floats the idea that
maybe the sixties are better, but Leela wants to live
life to the fullest. Mack argues that having someone you
love might be something to fight for and it mirrors
her own issues with Brady, and maybe just maybe she's
learning something too, and that's when Leela emerges from the closet.
Now able to wear some of Max's clothes, she is
suddenly becoming modernized. The guys rush over to the beach

(49:29):
to see Leela for themselves. They also notice that's that
Tanner's teeth aren't gleaming anymore. There's no more ding, and
their hair can get wet. That is a problem. If
the fabric of who they are changes, they'll be stuck
in the real world forever. They must get back to
the sixties and are running out of options. And then
that's when Mac really abruptly tells them the truth. They

(49:49):
aren't real people. They are fake characters from a movie,
and this breaks their brains. Brady shows them wet side
story on his phone, and this doesn't help. It's just
so confusing. So Mack and Brady decide to explain it
in a language everyone will understand. A song. That's nice
do it So that's do it in song.

Speaker 7 (50:07):
And dense people again, Mac easier, thin, bro, I mean,
come on, and that's oh my god, you're you're all fake.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Like holy she.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Gets she gets so like to the point she's so blunt.
She's as blunt as like I am in the Cheetah Girls,
like just ready to fight all the time, right, can
throw down all the time. That's as blunt as Mac is.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Just ready to swing.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
She is second.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Yes, well, this is where we jump into silver screen
a metajam about how life is better when you're in
a movie. This is a very fun, very fun kind
of production here. There's a lot of jumping from rom

(51:02):
com to western, a musical, and even a pirate ship.
What were your thoughts on this little ditty? Because I
thought this one was very clever.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
I did too, I did too. This is to me
what one of the like like, this is team beach
to me like that?

Speaker 4 (51:15):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (51:16):
This is the kind of song that I always will
now think of when I think of this franchise, Like
these kinds of musical numbers here right.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Oh man, Yeah, this was a lot of fun. But
Lela isn't sold. She wants to stay in modern day forever,
so she rips off her necklace and throws it into
the ocean. We are back at Big Mama's, Butchi knows
there's only one thing left to do, pretend everything is
fine and ignore their problems. The group agrees, but that's
when Chee Chee comes running up with the news even
more people are vanishing. Anyone could be next, and then

(51:46):
Butchie finds the necklace. It's once again washed up, so
he decides to face his fear of the water and
go get his sister, and the entire group sprints with him.
The next morning, Mac and Brady are arguing while trying
to find the necklace in the ocean. Brady mentioned spend
and it only adds fuel to the fire. And back
on the beach, Leela and Tanner noticed something. Wait a minute,
what is that some weirdos in the ocean fully clothed.

(52:08):
What it's their friends from back home? What the heck? Okay,
so now they're here, even though that's how it ended
the first Okay, well, all right, there's a big reunion.
But when they announced they've arrived to take their friends home,
Leela explains she doesn't want to leave, she's just starting
to find herself. But when she finds out that people
are disappearing, the realization sets in Wet Side story might
just go away forever, and Leela knows she must go back.

(52:31):
The movie is her job, so she says goodbye to Mac,
Tanner says goodbye to Brady, and the Wet Side story
cast walks into the ocean with the necklace and back
to the sixties. Now alone, Mack and Brady don't know
what to say to each other. She runs off to
her Save the Beach dance, which I guess is already
in progress. Spencer has apparently moved on from Mac and
asks Alyssa to dance to a Sabrina Carpenter song. Okay,

(52:53):
I have heard a Saberena Carpenter's song. That was a
simple fix. I guess he sure got over Mac pretty quickly. Okay,
Max smiles about ditching that clinger, but Brady is nearby
bumming alone. Devin suggests you go talk to his now
ex beach bunny, but just as he does, the sound
of surf rock fills the gym and in walks the
Wet Side Story crew again with Tanner on a segway.

(53:14):
Leean announces they've returned to help Brady and Mack. Tanner
is finally thinking for himself and exudes confidence, which he
spells ko n fidense. He reminds Brady he's an amazing
guy and he can do anything he puts his mind to,
and just like that, Brady runs on stage and asks
the band for a kick snare. Then magically he teaches
the band our next song, gotta be Me Confident anthem
about how Brady is ready to step up for mac

(53:37):
Mack joins in too, and it looks like they're rekindling
the romance through dance. What did you think of this one?

Speaker 2 (53:45):
This? This is his big This is like to me,
it showcased how talented this guy is.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Did you it's okay? This is the one where I
didn't like the song really. I liked the dancing. I
didn't like this too.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
I think I was into the Dan scene to notice
the song.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I think, Yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
I thought Ross looked awesome in this, like.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Well, yeah, I mean he can clearly get just.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
Wow, you know, like he's just he just is such
a great performer that I think I kind of got
swept in that.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Yeah, it was he didn't like the songs.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
I didn't like the song. I liked the dancing. I
did not like the song. I just it was not
what This one wasn't catchy to me at all. It
was just kind of yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I feel like that's what's kind of interesting about the movie,
is like it wasn't like all the music was bad.
It was just like all of it also wasn't like
to the level of like what we're now getting, what
our what our standard is now.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Anyway, this song ends with Mac and Brady embracing and Butchie,
who's holding a very important necklace, announces they got to
get back in the ocean, but then he vanishes with
the necklace. Lee that realizes that the first time they
time traveled, Brady and Mac didn't even have the necklace,
so that means the necklace can't be the only catalyst.
How do they get back then? And so in a
throwback to teen beach movie, Mack and Brady get Tanner

(55:04):
and Layla out to the ocean with boards, but there's
no waves, and just as all their friends vanish away,
even Chee Chee, Tanner and Leela know they have to
do something. Then Brady has an idea. He rushes off
with Mac to his workshop, which means Mack has now
seen all the secret work he's been doing. He admits
he was ashamed to show her because she has a
vision for her future and he is just a beach bump,
but she says his projects look incredible and she respects

(55:26):
his vision. But then he reveals the now finished hydro
lithium surfboard with a motor. It doesn't need waves to work.
This could be what Tanner and Leela need. And I
think they have another song right around here, and we'll
get to that. Mack apologizes for everything, and they promise
each other no more secrets. They also notice that they're
in the exact same spot that they met. Somehow, this
makes them realize if their friends don't end up back

(55:48):
in the movie, then it will also mean they never met.
And that's when I want to surprise.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
What right?

Speaker 1 (55:56):
What does that mean? Did you follow any of that logic?

Speaker 4 (55:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Okay, I mean I understood what they were saying. I
didn't understand how that made sense.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Okay, So not only do I not get while it
made that didn't make sense, But okay, they're putting that
out there. It doesn't make any sense, but they're putting
it out there. If they don't get back to them,
it's another level of danger. If they don't get back
to the movie, it's like we've never met. Yeah, remember that,
people just remember that because it's gonna come back. Brady says,

(56:29):
no matter what, he'll never forget her, and then he
sings something that turns into a duet called Meant to Be,
And it's all about their relationship is meant to be?
And I thought, hey, all these people are disappearing and
essentially dying. Maybe now's not the time to sing. Uh,
just maybe not to give it some time, get them
back in the water, get them back to the sixties,

(56:49):
DN sing your song. During their final goodbyes, Max suggests
Leela's start a math club and starts thinking for herself.
She encourages her to change the movie, which feels like
it already happened because she was doing that. But who knows.
And now in the ocean, Brady tries again. Dark Ocean,
Brady tries to start the board's engine, but it's sputtering.
He's forced to swim underneath it and see what's going on,
but the hatch one open. Time is running out. He

(57:11):
tries and tries again, but the damn hatch is stuck,
and just as Tanner starts to fade away, Brady finally
pries the hatch open again. You would have had an
extra five minutes if you didn't sing your song, But
without any tools he can't fix it, so he borrows
Leela's hairclip and finally gets it working, catapulting Tanner and
Layla out to see did it work? Did they vanish
from existence forever or go back into the movie? We
just don't know. So Brady walks back to the beach

(57:33):
where macus standing, but instead of celebrating, he runs right
past her. Neither of them bad and I they don't
know each other. So it must mean they didn't make
it back to the movie, right, because those are the
rules they just set up thirty seconds ago. They just
did it. I know because I was watching the movie.
I was watching. That's how I know. Brady meets up

(57:54):
with Devin for their very odd special handshake, It notices
to save the beach dance and movie screen in the distance.
The two bros decide to crash it on the way in.
By the way, it's an open dance. You don't have
to crash it. He notices Mac on the beach, but
again no memory of this girl. Mack re enters her
dance eventually and sits at the front desk with Spencer
and Alissa, and they now appear to be an official couple.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Great.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
When Devin and Tanner arrived by tickets, Tanner asks Mac
again a girl. He doesn't know at all what movie
they'll be projecting tonight. She reveals it's a nineteen sixty
two beach movie party, which is very specific. It's Layla,
Queen of the Beach, Mack's favorite. But Tanner isn't sold
that this is the best movie to show. Mac challenges
him to buy a ticket and if he doesn't agree,
she'll buy him a smoothie. They have a moment, and

(58:37):
off goes Brady. So they reversed what happened in the
first movie. It's very clever. Okay, but what Mac thens
announces the start of the movie, which is just its
wet side story. But Layla is now a badass independent
She's the main character. Tanner's just her boyfriend. History has
been rewritten. But doesn't that mean they made it back
to the movie in time? And so wouldn't that mean

(58:59):
that Brady and Mack would still be dating? What's what? What?

Speaker 8 (59:03):
What?

Speaker 6 (59:03):
Why?

Speaker 2 (59:03):
I know It's like.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
They didn't they established that.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
They established they did not.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Now it's it's it flips?

Speaker 5 (59:13):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Are they gonna try to say it's because they changed
the movie? Okay? So now way, Oh this is from
producer Lisa because they changed the movie and because it's
now a woman movie. Brady of course would not have
seen it. Why wouldn't you have seen it? Oh that's okay,
that's Lisa's take. So but they they still made it
back to the sixties, they still made their sixties beach movie.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
But in reality, they also I guess to be fair,
they didn't really know. They just were. That was just
a question like does that mean that we won't know
each other? Does that bring it up?

Speaker 5 (59:46):
Then?

Speaker 1 (59:49):
You know, like, why even bring it up. It's just
like it should If you're not going to explain it,
don't do it right, Because they're like, if they don't
make it back to the movie, we'll never know each other.
And then they make it back to movie and they
never know each other. Yeah, yeah, it's just it was
the end got confusing. The end they had me, and
then I was like, what is the end got confusing

(01:00:10):
to me?

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
I didn't know she's saying that, Lisa's saying, this is
why this movie isn't liked as much as the first
one because of this ending. It was a controversial situation
among the fans.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
It should be it was confusing what was going on? Yeah,
and I again. I like the idea that the relationship
is starting over, and now they don't know each other
and they've reversed it, and that's great, but you've got
to give us a reason why that happened, and they
tried to explain it, and their explanation doesn't make any sense.

(01:00:40):
So I don't mind them rebooting the relationship, but you
gotta make it matter, make it makes sense, and they
didn't anyway. Leela sings the final song, That's how We Do,
all about women empowerment, and is eventually joined by Mac
and everyone at the party. It's a big finale here
with a lot of dancing. Did you like the song?
Did you like the dancing?

Speaker 9 (01:01:00):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
I did?

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Yeah, me too. Brady eventually joins in too, singing along
with Tanner on the screen. We've got both couples now
overcoming their own obstacles. But again, the conceit of the
movie now makes no sense. To remind you, if Leela
and Tanner make it back to the movie on time,
then Mack and Brady should have had no problem remembering
each other. But everyone ends up tap dancing on cars,
so who cares. We're having fun. The song ends with
Mac holding Brady, so reversing it, restarting their relationship against

(01:01:25):
the backdrop of the screen. For a few seconds, it
appears they remember each other, but it's probably just deja vu.
The strangers then embrace passionately, despite the fact that they
just met and this whole thing is insane, they stood
have still known each other. I don't get it anyway.
The credits roll up, Vie for If there's two camps,
there's the camp that likes the ending and totally understands
it and doesn't like the ending and doesn't get it.

(01:01:46):
I'm firmly in that doesn't like the ending and don't
get it. I like where they were going, but they
didn't explain it, so I don't get it. What camp
are you in, Sabrina.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
Of liking it or not liking it?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Liking the ending?

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yeah, mmmm, it kind of it was. It was kind
of a letdown for me, Like, you know what, Like
I've we've watched this one hundred and forty five minute
it's six hours now. It doesn't even make like so
it definitely kind of left me on like on a

(01:02:17):
slump instead of it being really excited. However, I do
love when there's extra stuff happening like during the credits.
So I did like the little thing that starts happening
while they're rolling the credits, what happens?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
It was just like a cute little like thing they did.
I liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Oh it was extra dancing scenes and takes and stuff
like that. Okay, yeah I did see that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
Yeah, yeah, okay, that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
But yeah it did kind of end on like a
little bit of a slump, like what yeah, you know,
So I can understand. I love that Lisa knows that
that was like kind of controversial of like that. I
can understand the fans.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Being like, you know, we had fans on our ig
already going, oh, I can't wait to hear what they
think about the ending, so.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
I know, really take on why it is this way.
I don't stop into these Okay. So the thing is,
like I feel like when you were asking earlier about
why we were going back and seeing the movie change,
like if he's seeing that on on the screen as well,
technically he wasn't really watching.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
It was just in the background.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
My thing is that you're watching the movie being made
like you're watching like you're being zapped into the actual
like you're on set, so then they're kind of just
stopping as if they were making the movie at that time,
so like she's stopping it and then so he wouldn't
be seeing that because she would go back and they
would do the take, and that's what he would.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
That's my take, so much more confusing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
It is so confusing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
But then by the end, because they go back in time,
they're going back to the sixties when the movie was made,
and she's already had these stops, so they're making a
completely different movie, which is why he doesn't remember it
because in my brain, because of the time, like he
wouldn't be probably shown the movie Leila on the Beach
as much as a Wet Side Story as a kid

(01:03:55):
growing up, so like it's more likely she would have
seen that than he would. Don't have that shared love
of the same.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Movie, because that means that they have they never met.

Speaker 5 (01:04:06):
Right, because they that's how they met was their shared
love of the same movie. So now they don't have
that because.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
No, she had never seen Wet Side Story in the
first one. That was the whole point. I thought that,
No didn't she isn't that The whole point is he
introduces her to wet side story. And that's why they
have the first date on the beach is because she's like,
you've never.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Seen this He's like, you've never seen this movie. Gosh,
maybe you're right because I haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
But maybe that's the play on it?

Speaker 8 (01:04:31):
Then?

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
Is that because now the roles are switched, she's the
one who's seen the movie and he has not.

Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
So it's a freak that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, you know, I get that they're doing that, so
they still.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
Wouldn't have technically met on the beach. Yeah, it's so
much thinking for kids.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Sorry, yes, it is the kids.

Speaker 5 (01:04:49):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
It is confusing for kids. I was only half a
bourbon in and I didn't understand what the hell was happening.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
You need.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
You needed six more to be able to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
It's still confusing, but I don't anyway, And much like
the end of the film, that's the end of our recap,
and I'm just gonna end it on a confusing note
and let's go right into real reviews. Uh, Sabrina, I

(01:05:23):
think you've got the five star this week?

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
What do you got five star this week? It's from
Samantha h C.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
So awesome. I had a tropical day with my mom.
We watched this movie on her bed at twelve o'clock.
It's a comfy bed. Then we had a smoothie while
watching the movie.

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
Stars.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Okay, all right, love it. I have the one star.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
That's as confusing as the end, as the confusing as
the end of the movie.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
My mind is not confusing at all. It's very clear.
This is the one star from Nathan's Nathaniel C not
to be confused with Nathaniel A.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
B or D.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
For the sake of my sanity and well being, this
movie does not exist in the TBCU or the Teen
Beach Cinematic Universe. The movie does absolutely nothing but help
you realize, damn, maybe there is nothing worth living for
if you're on the brink of a breakdown. Literally watch
anything else. Wow, there's a lot to unpack there. First
of all, I love that it's already the TBCU, it's

Why don't feel bad. You gotta do it, you gotta
do it, Come on, Sabrina.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
All right, So we we talked.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
About a lot of them, as always, but they're in
the turn your frown upside down.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Yeah, your favorite song, your favorite song and dance.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
One of the most horrendous things that has happened on
the channel, in my opinion, happened.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
What, oh my god, what I'm dying to know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Okay, I'm gonna show you. So it's kind of hard
for our listeners, but okay, okay, I'll try to explain it. Then.
Remember when the it's like an aerial shot and they
turn the frown like they're in like like it looks
like a happy fair of frown face crowns up and
up and down.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
No, it's not that it doesn't get airt I'm just
gonna show you this picture. Can you see it?

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Yes, And then I'm gonna show you what I zoomed
in because I just could not believe someone did this
to this poor girl.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Like that, wait, what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
It's her, She's so they did the the like you know,
somehow they somehow were in that frown position and then
they all flipped over and she had to like handstand
her way over and they have her in like that
is awful, poor thing. I want to personally apologize that

(01:11:26):
Disney did this to you, because that would have killed me,
just that just in general, Like it could have just
been all dudes in shorts and it wouldn't have been
a thing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
But like, you've got her in a cheer skirt.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
The skirt is flipped up out like.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Cool.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
I felt so bad. I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
And then, of course, you know, I'm watching on Disney
Plus and you can't screenshot on that. I had to
find it on YouTube just so I could show you.
That was horrifying to me. I felt so bad for her,
and I just feel terrible. The next thing was I
don't know why this was really important for me to
tell you was how much I disliked the hoodie that
she's wearing at the end, Like she just looks weird

(01:12:12):
in it, Like it just wasn't like a nice like
she just looked kind of strange, and it was like,
we haven't seen you wear a hood a hood yet?

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Why now? Movie? Why now?

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
And then last I actually had some help from my
manager Melissa that the guy that plays Devin his best friend. Yeah,
his best friend who plays Devin. He is the son
of the producer Ray Cham. He was Ray Cham junior,

(01:12:42):
and he was around during like all of the recordings
of like our first movie. Ray did pretty much all
of the Cheetah Girls songs in the first movie, and
he was so little. Once mel told me that, I'm
like Ray's little son was so tiny during that and
now he's onto being a can dance too, and he
can dance his butt off wait no, yes, yes, yes, yes,

(01:13:04):
And he was just so cute. So it was like
such a good like Easter egg for me to like
I went back and like kind of rewatched all his
scenes and like the so proud of him, like that's cool,
exciting you know, he was so little and he was
so animated and so cute, and I remember Ray telling me, yeah,
he really wants to get into acting, but I'm like

(01:13:26):
not sure if I'm gonna go that route.

Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
And I'm like, you have so many great connections, like
are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
And so anyway for him to now, you know, be
older and doing what he loves and what I saw
him as a little adorable kid, I'm just really proud
of him.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
So that's great.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
That's my main Sbarna sees because I'm real proud of that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
We all called him Junior, so he used We used
to call him Junior.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
So that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
It was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Yeah, very nice shout out to Junior. All right, well
it's time to rate our film. We're gonna go one
out of ten, one worst, ten best. That's what we're doing.
Here are options this week? Is it? One out of ten?
One man stoke machines one out of ten. Underwhelming bracelets,
acoustic acoustic guitar types, girls shaking their butt one out

(01:14:09):
of ten, very odd special handshakes, pod guitar players, Guys
who paint themselves silver for tips who I called by
the way one out of ten. Goth high school girls,
kick snares or one out of ten nineteen sixty two
beach movie parties do you pick?

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
I these are all good. Nothing's really jumping out at me.
Is anything jumping out at you?

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
I'm a big fan of underwhelming bracelets. Okay, we'll do that,
all right. So I think I go first this time,
don't I H.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
No, I know you, Yeah, you went last time first.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Um.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
So I really liked this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Like I said, it's hard when so many of the
songs and so many of the performances were so hot,
Like the hot quality was so great, great.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
Dancing in this movie. The actors are phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
They're just so good and they really got a chance
to showcase a lot of their talent.

Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
But there were some funky stuff that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Needed to be rewrote a little. Yeah here, you know,
the ending on in that like weird note of wait
what like what what?

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
That was hard for me. So it dipped it at
the very end.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
But I liked it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
I thought this choreography, just like I love the Zombies
choreography and the Descendants, like it just leaned in perfectly
to where it was magical, but like not over the top.
So I loved it. I'm gonna give it an eight
point five.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Wow, okay, even with the ending the impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Yeah, because I did, I liked it, and I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
I don't reamer.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
I definitely will have to say though. I'm hoping that
is that scoring is under what the first one was
because I definitely did like the first one better. Okay,
it doesn't have as many like question marks as the
second one did, so I hope that that rating keeps
me in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Line, keeps you in line, because we don't remember what
it is. I feel the same, Yeah, I feel the
same that I liked this movie until the end. Some
of the songs weren't great. All the dancing was good.
It did not take itself too seriously. The guy playing
ten Or was hysterical. There were several laugh out loud,
like actual laugh out loud moments. I'm going to give

(01:16:31):
this a seven point five because the ending was lame
and I think that's under my last team. But it
just it was like you just went at the end. Yeah,
so I get why people don't like it. So, yeah,
I want this to be one. Here's what I'm going
to give it. I'm going to give it one less

(01:16:51):
than whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
I gave Teen Beach, right, and I don't know if
I did Teen Beach at like a nine point five,
I think I probably was not there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
We're up there with nines. So yeah, I give this
an eighth. Then, yeah, it's one less because it's it's
I like the world, and I like the actors, and
I like the whole the whole idea about it. But this,
the ending really did kind of well, it's just a
lot of best. Yeah, it's just it's it's not great.
It got very confusing. But yeah, anyway, that's that's our

(01:17:22):
We've just finished our because there's not a third one,
so we just finished our TBCU. That's the end of
the Teen Beach Cinematic Universe. We've wrapped up an entire
we have We've wrapped up an entire universe. So there
we go.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Yeah, well that's crazy lot of them.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
Now we're getting done with zombies. Yeah, well so far,
but zombies is gonna be more. There's not gonna be
more Teen Beaches. There's just good. That's this is it.
And I think we're done with Camp Rocks now, so
that's it. Where we're we're checking them off the list. Yes, uh,
you know for our next movie, though it is another
musical sequel set in the summertime, we're staying in theme
with well Camp Rock two, So either you've heard it

(01:18:01):
or you haven't heard it. Uh, But Camp Rock to
the final jam, which again I thought was about the
last time people eat jelly. That's not the case. So yeah,
so you're gonna have to let us know what you
think there. But we finally tie off all the loose
ends that Camp Rock one left us. I'm kidding. I
have no memory whatsoever of how it ended, and there
were no loose ends. But first let's stay on the

(01:18:23):
beach for our park Opper episode. We are chatting with
Chrissy fit also known as a lovable chee Chi from
both teen Beach one and two, and yes, I definitely
want to talk to her about that, but she's also
in the Pitch Perfect movies and I can't wait to
talk to her about that. So she talked all about
her time in Puerto Rico filming these movies. She was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
You don't believe me.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Listen to a small snippet of the upcoming episode.

Speaker 8 (01:18:46):
Even us like making it and reading it. I think
like some of us were like, wait, is this gonna
gel with like our demographic, Like we're trying to do inception.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Suddenly and right, yeah, dream within a dream.

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
I'm like, I don't know if kids are gonna love this,
But then it was kind of exciting too because we
were like, we're just giving them a little something extra,
something like different. It doesn't have to end super happy, no,
but that we were wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
It should end on.
