Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Do you have a morning hair care ritual?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Not in everyday morning, but I'm definitely one of those
gals that only washes my hair every three to four
days type of thing. That's like a.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Normal right day, more normal than referring to yourself as
a gal, which you don't hear a lot of anymore
at all. So that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
So true. Yeah, I kind of do day one, I don't.
I just blow dry it. Day two is when I'll
curl it. Day three is like I can still kind
of day four. If I'm going on day four, it
is a top not bun slicked because it's.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Nast so because it's nasty like it.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
What about you? I know you're really particular about that that.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I am of yours. Over there, there's where I'll wash
it's that's it wash it? Does it?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Does it mean shampoo condition? No?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I won't know. I will do just water. Most days,
say I sweat like three times?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I do two a day workouts, So yeah, I sweat
a lot. But at the same time, I know it's
bad to wash your hair that much, so I'm usually
just wetting it down quite a bit and then once
you know, maybe once or twice a week. I use
my Befree by daniel fishal little plug for Danielle's company.
I use my be Free and it's great. But you
can probably tell how much I care about my hair,
which is frankly not at all. Yeah, I should get

(01:36):
more into that, but I use head and shoulders to
wash my face.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I will say yesterday, I uh washed my hair. We
were gonna possibly go into the jacuzzi like last night,
but ended up not. So it was in a top
bun but wet and it kind of dried that way.
So this morning it was actually perfect for this movie
that we're doing. I was like, Okay, we're gonna have

(02:01):
to kind of reget that wet so I could actually
blowdry it and make it look nice for the podcast. Because
although it would have been perfect, I really didn't want
to be. You have to see that of me fine.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
For me, and that's also a perfect segue into our
film today. But I will say, first, 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 all the houses are smart. The
Wave Tsunamis and the high School's musical I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Wilfordell and I'm Sabrina Brian, and I hope.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Like Sabrina here you packed the comb because nothing's gonna
go right today. And we're recapping twenty fifteen's adventure buddy
comedy Bad hair Day. This is a dcom that really
takes pieces of a ton of different movies. I guess
would be the best way to say it most not
suitable for the Disney Channel, but you can feel the
influence of movies like Thelm and Louise, Midnight Run, which
is one of the best movies of all time, After Hours,

(02:52):
which is also the list of best movies of all time,
Leave the Weapon, nonother best movies of all time. Wow,
this is just a banger of list. But Bad hair
Day also broke a barrier when it comes to dcoms.
Not sure if it stuck out for you as I'm
sure it did for us, But this is the first
to include an adult as the lead and star of
the movie. It's usually solely focused on just kids or teens,
so that was a fun difference. It first aired on

(03:14):
February thirteenth, twenty fifteen, to four million viewers and was
the success on their watch. Disney channel app where these
things streamed back in the day they filmed this one
in huh uh? Was it either Utah or was it Toronto?
Neither Apparently the coin flip landed right in the center
of it, just stood up on edge. So instead they

(03:36):
decide to go to Montreal, Quebec. Yes, they went to Quebec.
No shock there that they were in Canada. But what
is shocking? Not sure if you notice this while watching,
but the score for the movie involved the Philharmonic Orchestra
of Prague. Wow, so it was fully orchestrated until we
get into the movie. We will say that Bad hair
Day is available now to stream via Disney Plus. So

(03:58):
if you want to follow along and go watch it
now or listen to us first, just fill out the
paperwork and send it in so we can log that
information into our journals. I am kidding. I don't have
a journal because I wouldn't be able to read it
because my handwriting is awful, Sabrina. Before the podcast set
this recap in emotion, did you know anything about Bad
Hair Day?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I hadn't. I hadn't at all, you know, as I'm
going in trying to see if I even was recognizing
any characters, you know, trying to figure out where we
were with this specific d com because I knew absolutely
nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, so that's it.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I mean started off much like a lot of ours.
We've got the bedroom scene. What is this teenager about?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
What is she like?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I mean all that kind of stuff, and then
we go from.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
There, believe it or not, with bad hair day. I
had also never heard of this movie.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Like, wait a minute, we talked about this last thing.
You didn't know.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I have no idea what this movie was. I have
no idea. So before you go steaming your dress to
the plastic and pulling your blog readers about what shoes
to wear, why don't we get into the synopsis. It's
a buddy com about a high school tech wuhiz whose
prom night abruptly shifts into a wild ride across town
thanks to a down on her luck cop and jewel thief.
Early thoughts, Sabrina, what did you think?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I at first? I mean, you know, because I don't know,
I'm like, when what era of the d coms is this?
So we instantly kind of see a dress. Okay, so
we're there's gonna be a dance of some sort involved
shoes and it's all saying winter. And then I was
kind of impressed, going, oh, there's a lot of techie

(05:33):
kind of stuff. She's very much a computer, she says
nerd or whatever her dad called her that, and kind
of sets it up. I see the crazy hair. Oh
my gosh, how unbelievable was that hair? The dress stuff
didn't really make sense to me why that was ruined.
I didn't understand that it's so far so a little
bit I started to kind of I got it confused

(05:55):
a little bit here and there at the getting, you know,
I was kind of just not sure where we were going,
what was going to be. You know, I'm always going
where's the message? Where's that Disney message? And it didn't
hit me for a while a little bit, and so
I h it was cute. It was cute. She was cute.
Yea of FBI agent coming in That to me did

(06:19):
not make sense. Stranger danger? Why is she not?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Here's here's what I thought, and it's kind of along
lines with what you think, and maybe maybe this is
what you were saying. I liked it as a movie.
I didn't like it as a d com.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh okay, does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like if this was just a regular kind of teen
romp movie with the two of them buddy comedy, it
worked as a d com. It felt very strange to me.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
There was just something kind of not off right.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Because they were great, the acting. Yeah, good story.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I guess you're right off the dcom mark.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's what I think. That's how I look at it.
Took the mark for a dcom but hit the mark
for just a good kind of funny buddy comedy because
it was funny. I thought the acting was good, the
story was good. But you've got you know, two more,
they're older protagonists for the film. You've got then the
bad guy is older. Right, there were no kids kind

(07:20):
of involved. The whole thing with the dance was just
kind of peripheral. It was didn't really matter to the story.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
A sort of was forced because, yeah, trying to bring
in that younger because you're right, the majority of the
cast was were adults that they were going into.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Not a bad movie, not a great dcom. Yeah, if
that makes sense. It's no ghost of Bucksley Hall or Fuzzby.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, of course not. There's not very many.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
But anyway we'll get into and again it's not I'm
not saying it's a bad movie, because it certainly was
not a bad movie. We have seen way worse movies
than this. It just felt off for a dcom. It
was like, okay, weird. Analogy was like, he went to
a nightclub, which I've never been to, but I imagine
you went to a nightclub and all they did was
play awesome classical music. Yes, so the classical music might

(08:08):
have been great, but it was not right for the
place it was.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
P does that think it's gonna be a top forty DJ?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right? And again, wow, Bach had some bangers, but not
not not here at the club.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Bach had some banger.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
He did it did I'm telling you, don't even get
me started. The movie stars Laura Morano as Monica, the
bad Hair recipient. Laura is a double threat singer actress.
We haven't said triple threat because we've never seen her dance,
but I'll bet you Laura can dance too. I just
it's a total gut feeling, but I bet you she's
actually a triple threat. Okay. She also has a song
on the soundtrack called for the Ride. She started her

(08:48):
career on TV shows like Without a Trace, Dexter, and
she played young Becca in super Bad and Young Sarah
Silverman on her Comedy Central show. Her Kids Show resume
is also very impressive, with roles on Living Me, Girl
Meets World, and most notably as the Alley in Austin
and Ali, a show she starred on from twenty eleven
to twenty sixteen, and her co star, who notably is

(09:11):
an adult actress name Lee Allan Baker, is Liz. You
may recognize Lee Allen as Ellen on Will and Grace
or Amy Duncan on almost one hundred episodes of Good
Luck Charlie and a rare occurrence here with Leanne. She
also served as an executive producer of this movie. She
told Variety, quote, I wanted to see what it was
like to build and fulfill a vision from the ground up,
and since this was Disney Channel's first movie with an

(09:32):
adult lead, I wanted that role to be protected, and
I wanted the movie to have my creative stamp on it.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Unquote.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Pretty cool. The movie's length is oh, oh my gosh,
it hurts to say it. It hurts me in the
feel bads. The length is ninety one minutes, so close,
almost too close. It's now like they're mocking us. And
it was directed.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
It could have been just that last bit, those couple
of bloopers.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
The bloopers did it. They put us over the magical mark.
It is what it is. It was directed by Eric Canyell.
I believe I'm saying that name right, who was a
Canadian with a ton of local credits and TV episodes
of the Dead Zone and The Transporter on his resume,
but he was a relatively green choice when it came
to movies. Sadly, Eric passed away on June fifteenth of
this year at the young age of sixty three. It's

(10:19):
written by Matt and Billy Eddie, a brother team. They
had a strong Kids channel filmography with Zapped, Teen Beach two,
Invisible Sister, and the first two Monster High movies. Eric
Gardner and Stephen H. Wilson share credit as well and
came up with the story. I gotta be honest, this
one's feels very Canadian when it comes to the credits,
and I think it's safe to say that it was
probably our most Canadian cast and crew, if that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I feel like Zombies was quite a big Canadian.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, it was Canadian two, that's true. We've got a
lot a lot of Canadians, certainly.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Because there was the dancers, because they're not going to
bring in dancers from the US and get them up
to camp.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's true. So maybe some of these are d coms,
which is Disney Canadian original movies.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You heard it here first, guys.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay, so it obviously starts where everything's going completely and
totally wrong for you. Have you had a day like
this where you've got a dance or something coming up,
where it's just one horrible thing after another.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yes, yes, absolutely, yes it is. I'm I've just put
it out on my Instagram. I'm one of those people
that will get up super early and on a day
that is any birthday party. We just threw Monroe's birthday party.
I am up so early four o'clock. I'm talking right

(11:48):
four or five, and I am still running late. I
still cannot make it. I have all the time. I
just don't know how it happens to me. So but
a lot of times it's, oh my gosh. You know,
on her birthday, I put all we were up in
Big Bear, put all the balloons up, got everything done,
woke up in the morning, everything was on the ground.
It was just like that kind of stuff just happens

(12:10):
to me.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Wait what happened? Did a bear break in? Or did
the air well?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It just was you know, it just was like a
little your birthday sign with some balloons and I put
stuff on, you know, just to kind of create because
we were not home, so I wanted to just have
it nice and decorative for her birthday morning. And I
woke up and all of it was down right then,
or you know, I wake up and my hair is
a disaster. There's no way I've got to wash it.

(12:36):
I've got to take the time to do it, otherwise
I'm not gonna like any pictures.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Of course, these kinds of things happen to me all
the time. That's my lack for sure. But you does that?
Do you wake up and everything just goes your way?
It is just Will's bright and shiny kind of day every.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Day when the sun shines on you twenty four to seven, Sabrina,
There's really nothing that goes wrong in this world? I
bet no, of course, I'm just I'm a very I'm
a very scheduled person, so I have It's like I
usually wake up around the same time I take my dog.
I mean well, no, I mean I do my wordle,
I do my connections, I do my frame, I do
my gap. Oh yeah, all in the bed. I'm in

(13:12):
bed for about a half hour after I wake up,
and then I'm up and take the dog for a walk,
come back, go for a run. Then I usually come
back and shower, I eat something. I either then podcast
or do some writing, and then I take a nap,
and then I come back. I take my we do
some sort of a dinner. I'll take my dog out to.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have a scheduled map every.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Nap, every single day is remarkably amazing. And I do
what everything I know FI years for years.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh you're jealous of you.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Oh yeah, you're decided to have kids. Not my fault,
Not my fault. Let's get into the movie here. We
opened it a very familiar decom situation, as Sabrina was saying,
which we have now seen is a repeating trope which
is inside a teen girls bedroom for what looks like
an important day filled with wardrobe and makeup options. How
many movies can have we seen this in?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Now?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So we just saw it in What's the one where
she's talking to the camera was it camp Rock? Yeah,
camp Rock? Oh, yes, yes, she wakes up, she had
you had a million things to do. Yes, we saw
in xenon she she starts in her bedroom where she
wakes up, and it's we're kind of panning around the
room to see what she's like. My date with the
president's daughter starts this way.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yep. Also, wasn't color of friendship? Wasn't there some kind
of thing I feel like maybe maybe? Yeah, it's very yes, yes,
she was getting Yes, yes, it is definite. But you
know what, so relatable absolutely, especially with girls. You know,
I think amboys I would assume too. Your bedroom is
your signature. Ye, it's it's your it's the you. You know.

(14:47):
You know your parents' house is not your house, but
your bedroom parents allow you to have that be your
safe place. So I think every kid can relate to
this is my room.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
You also learn a ton about the character right away.
Are they messy? Are they clean? They? Yeah? Are they studious?
Are they? Do they like music? Are they?

Speaker 5 (15:08):
So?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's a very easy way to get into a character
and this is no different. So it looks like it's
an important day for her, filled with you know, makeup
options and everything. Else, we do see one very sparkly
dressed that has a note that reads winner, same with
some shoes of the same color that also has a
note that says winner. We also see some heavy due
to computer equipment around the room. As our lead, Monica
codes her own website, uploading options for outfits and allowing

(15:31):
visitors to vote on their favorites. And now she's ready
to post possible hairstyles on the site as well. She
takes some quick photos and puts them up. Will it
be a flirty wave, an angel curl, French Twister? Nope,
it looks like the side ponytail has taken the lead. Finally,
she passes out and her cell phone rings. It is Sierra,
her best friend. It is prom day and Monica needs

(15:53):
to get ready for tonight. Monica is up until two
thirty am working on her hair poles the side do
one by the way, just for the record, in case
you're wondering. And everything's been going great. She's got her date,
the perfect dress. She even thinks she is in the
lead for prom queen, and she's the most excited about
her hair. Wait, wait a minute, what is this? Sierra
finally sees Monica in FaceTime. WHOA, her hair is a mess.

(16:16):
It looks like pigeon slept on her head all night
long and picking her scalp like peanuts. It is crispy,
it's falling out. It is an absolute nightmare. She used
too many products at once. What's the worst your hair
can look Sabrina?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
So bad.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
It looks like that, like as bad as Laura Morono's
in this. I mean crispy and falling apart.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Not crispy and falling apart maybe after a prom like okay,
you didn't take your updo out or whatever, you know,
that kind of stuff. But yeah, it can look bad.
Mine does not. Mine takes some effort. She needs some products,
some smooth in but.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
You gotta you gotta not do multiple products at the
same time, apparently, which was funny. I love how she
just put everything in her hair and she's like, do
not use the heat while I did that, do not
mix with others? Well I did that.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, that was very much like a Disney cartoony type situation.
That's not that's not really a real thing. I'm sure
there might be products, you know.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Maybe, but it's a little crazy. The other thing that
was crazy is she notices her winning dress and it's
melted right onto the plastic it was stored in. And
then the winning shoes they were too small for her feet,
so she used expanders and they exploded the heels out.
It's a bummer, but she knows that they can all
be repaired. Now did I miss something? I didn't see
her mess up her dress.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Did I?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
This is when I went, wait, what just.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
So the dress was ruined for a week.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
It wasn't the shower. It was the shower. Yeah, and
later on when she goes to return, try to she
was steaming it. So yeah, that is something that I
will do when I'm on vacation, is all throw my
dress hung somewhere in the bathroom, not in the shower,

(17:56):
but have the door open and turn off hot air,
you know, if I don't want to bring like a
big old steamer or whatever. So I that's what they
were doing. But I mean to me, it's plastic. The
shower curtains are plastic. You don't like they nick It
was a little stretched. The shoe expander was kind of

(18:18):
a good idea. I could see that, you know, but
because they were much Yeah, it really was, And I
was I thought that. When they panned that dress, I
was like, I was that was cute and then I
was like, oh was that plastic?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay, yeah it was a little shower shower curtains.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
By the way, the steamer. When it comes to steamer,
I always told people when I was a bachelor the
two things every bachelor should own at the time, and
still I agree with this is a portable steamer for
your clothes and the George Porman grill. Those two things
kept me alive, yes, and wrinkle free. The problem, the
biggest problem, is that the prom queen voting software she's
made to track the numbers, it shows her now in

(18:53):
a dead heat with Ashley Mendelbach. If Ashley wins, they
say evil will triumph. Were you ever prom queen or
did you ever do any of this stuff lord of
the dance? Or the hell they ever called any of
these things.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Lord of the dance? No, no, I was not never
Homecoming Queen, prom Queen win or formal Queen. I didn't
get any of that.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I didn't go to any of those dances.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I know. It makes me sad.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
I went to my junior problem with my friend Kelly,
and we had a lot of fun. But other than that, yeah,
be happy. No one liked you will. Just when things
can't get worse, they do as the DMV always does.
The DMV calls her at her home. They want to

(19:38):
finally schedule Monica's driving test, but they don't have an
opening until next year. She must get her license for
the summer, so she's offered two pm today. The problem
is it's prompt. That's why it's open because nobody else
could make it because of prom Monica knows it's going
to be tough, but she takes the appointment and she
needs to figure all this out. She then calls her boyfriend,

(19:59):
the Boy, but he can't drive her because he has
community service and the orphans need him. He's excited for Prahm,
but she's in trouble here. Her dad is in the
kitchen getting ready for work. He is a nurse, and
he also notices that her hair is huh huh, let's
just say not the best, and he tries to make
her feel as good about it as he can, but
he just can't. Being the awesome daddy is. She's got

(20:20):
a great dad in this movie. He offers to call
in sick and help with all of her errands, but
she doesn't want him to miss his day at the er.
Don't worry, She'll be fine. But before her dad leaves,
he reminds her she needs to make her college decisions
this week. Is she going to go to state like
he did? Or is she going to take the quote
once in a lifetime opportunity she's been offered? Unquote, We
still don't know what that is. Monica brings her attention

(20:42):
back to her dress and her shoes, only to notice
an ornate necklace hanging on her vanity mirror when she goes,
and she puts it on. When Sierra facetimes her back
with an idea of to use her ten speed bike
to bring her good friend. Hey, man, hop of my bike.
I'll bring it around all my stuff. She also notices
the necklace when Monica says she found a pawnshop, but
Sierra hates it. Hey, it only costs her thirteen dollars.

(21:04):
Just then the doorbell rings. What else can go wrong?
In this day? It is a woman who is almost
dressed like a hungover man in black. After being startled
by the bad hair which everybody sees first, she claims
she is detective such a good name. Detective Liz Mcrogersberger
from the FBI Special Criminals Unit of Dayton County. She

(21:26):
has some questions for the nest head in front of
her about a certain necklace. She flashes her a picture
of it, and it is the pawnshop piece that we've
just seen that Monica was wearing. That was thirteen dollars.
Monica gets nervous and says she's never seen it before.
As the FBI agent applies some pressure, Monica says she
knows that the detective, who again is called Mick rogers Berger,
is not really part of the FBI because there is

(21:47):
no Dayton County Bureau. After some pushback, the lady admits
she isn't with the FBI. She is a private eye
working for a client willing to give a hefty reward
for the necklace's return. Monica realizes that she can use
this to get a ride from Liz, no matter what
type of copper detective she is, so she offers a
trade the necklace for a lift to prom What did

(22:08):
you think of this story? Beat?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I did not like it. I just did not.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was weird. It was weird how and I get
because she's she is a techie, right, so she's on
her computer. The quickness that she had about this FBI situation,
this could the scene could.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Have gone through showing she's a genius, right, yes.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
But at the same time she countered that she counters
that later on she doesn't know, she doesn't understand stuff.
Later on I'm like, wait, but I thought you knew
all this stuff. Yeah, So there was that. The Also,
although I thought Lee was great, it was a little
creepy that she the way she was coming and then

(22:54):
then she tells her to wait at the door. Then
she ends up having her come inside the house, which
which is when I went, no, no, no, no, we do.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Not have strangers who have now lied to you being
part of the FBI.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yes, you know, she's about who she is now, she's
a private detective. Okay, I don't know that. It was
a little There was moments that were good because then
she gives her an idea of how she can suss out,
you know, Monica's whole life story from seeing the few
things around the room. That kind of stuff was, you know,

(23:29):
good for the character. But the situation was just weird.
It was very strange to me.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I don't disagree with you. It was strange to invite
her in, but she did.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
And to think that taking a car ride with this lady,
I'm gonna catch myself to you. I'm gonna make it
easier for you to steal me away from my dad.
I mean, you're obviously.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
You're already lying to me.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
We're gonna go ahead and just go ahead and get
in your car.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Get your car.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
You're not gonna kidnap me in the house. I'll go
ahead and get your car.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, it was. But she is inside the house and
within thirty seconds, Liz figures out. She's a high school
senior allergic to nickel. She's young for her class, her
boyfriend is a jock politician who's soulless, and she has
no siblings and her mom left. So Monica suddenly realizes
she is up against some kind of a pro She
knows she's been cooked, so Monica goes upstairs and hides
the necklace and tells Liz she will return it after

(24:21):
she gets a ride to fix her nails, her hair,
her shoes, and go to the driver's test, all before
the problem. It'll take a few hours, but they'll both
get what they want, so of course Liz agrees. Meanwhile,
we cut to the pawnshop and an even more sinister
looking man in a suit. I would like to find
out if this actor is actually British or not. I
have my doubts.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I agreed on that.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
He makes the lights flicker and it intimidates the owner
about the whereabouts of the same necklace, which then led
you to like, Okay, wait, is he super natural? Like
is this gonna be he's got some kind of magic powers?
Or did he just walk in and liquor the lights?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I that was so strange to me. Also, wouldn't you think?
I mean, I don't know a lot of pawn shop owners. However,
I do think if someone came in looking for this
specific necklace, it was because we know after that that
she was the FBI at you know, Liz also went

(25:22):
into the same place and use the FBI because she
says it worked on him.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
He worked on him.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, and now some other guy. Wouldn't you think maybe
calling the cops would be something. Listen, there's this necklace
that I had something since.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
I went I see in my head, I went to
I think some pawn shop owners, not all certainly not all,
but I think some pawnshop oders might take some merchandise
that not the not on the up and up. So
I want to call the police just to hey, what
if some of the stuff in here is stolen? Kind
of thing, not saying that about all shape.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It looked like an outstanding one, but he did.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
He looked like it. But so we don't know if
this guy's supernatural a lot. We're back in Liz's car,
which she refers to as Brando as Marlon Brando. She
has a ton of police level stuff, attempting red button
she tells her not to push, magnetic shielding of cell service,
and a high level stun gun at a stoplight. It's
so funny, Monica realizes, there next to a car filled

(26:21):
with quote water polo hotties, something you do not get
when you grow up in a school in Connecticut. She
does not want to be seen with Liz in her freakmobile,
but Liz ends up embarrassing her with a megaphone and
siren when the cool dudes litter. I was starting to
get some kind of Melissa McCarthy vibes, like you could
have seen Melissa McCarthy playing this role.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
There is a movie where she plays this role.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right, what is that?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
What it's was, Sarah Santa Bullock, I think is what
it's called on It's called the Heat.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
The Heat. There we go the Heat. Anyway, She turns
on her siren, which turns out she bought for says
she bought for twenty five dollars and went from there.
Did you have water polo in your school because my
wife was like the manager of the water polo team.
Oh really, and I think it was to this day,
just to hang out with the water polo hotties.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It could be will I don't want to get you upset,
but that's probably a good.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
She's coming home with me tonight. So what she did
in high schools?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, no, we did, we did. We had water There
was definitely the water polo guys that were all surfers
and water polos and you know constantly that's like not
your type though, no, no, but those of the girls
like that they were there. Yeah, but they were there, Yeah,
and they were good. We had a good water polo team.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, you're not the water polo from what I'm learning
about you. The water polo team guys. Okay, fair enough,
Liz is now even more scared because it turns out
there's a good chance she's not going to lose prom queen,
even though she's kissing the butts of other students for
their votes. It's very funny. She's like, hope you have
your vote, Hope I have your vote. All the while
Monika and Lizard developing a real sarcastic, big sister type

(27:58):
of vibe, shooting barbs back and forth, and they're getting
fed up with one another. This has some really funny
scenes where she pretends she's the colorblind aunt Hilda and
eventually reveals that her real name is Liz Morgan. This
is when they start to learn a little bit more
about each other, and also when Monica learns that some
of her friends have gotten off the wait list at State,
which is the college that we her father had mentioned

(28:19):
before that she had gone to, and so they're going
to be officially attending. Are you going to be coming
to State? She's got all this pressure to join him,
but she avoids the commitment because we learned she's deciding
between State and m I t Okay, which doesn't have
a water polo team. I don't think right, but come.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
On, yeah, no, this is a moment where parents it
is okay to step in. Just say, guess what you're
going to. There's no state there. You will have fun. College,
by the way, is amazing. Anywhere you go. It's pretty
much the same experience. You find your people, you get

(29:00):
at your independence, you party if you like to party,
you do some school, you get an education, and you
move on and it's the best wherever you're at. So
guess what, girl, you're going to. Not very many people
get to say that they got in there.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah you're going. No, I agree with you one hundred percent.
I played a college kid on TV once and it
was fun. Yeah. Yeah, she is absolutely a genius. But
she wants to go to State. And this I mean again,
it makes sense because she'll know everyone there, all our
friends are going there, and Mit, she'll be invisible. So
there is that fear of the unknown. But it's mit,
you're going I agree with you, hundred percent. So they
get to the hair salon, but they are three minutes late.

(29:35):
So the most unlikable human being to ever be put
on film sends them away. Oh god, she's just I
wanted to I don't believe in violence, and I wanted
to slap this girl in the forehead, just whack.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Shut up with just the most unnecessary accent to why
that's why, friend, three minutes late, you are I will
be on you.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I hate you. You fl oh oh, I hate it,
but you're supposed to. The appointment was filled. But when
the clerk, awful clerk, awful French clerk, so we'll call her,
sees Monica's disastrous hair, she gives them a pager says
it'll buzz it if an appointment actually opens up. We're
now back at Monica's house where that suave, suited man
who were still wondering is if it is actually British

(30:17):
or if he actually has superpowers from the pawnshop, breaks
in and disarms the alarm. And he disarms it in
a very funny way, because it's the way that Liz
when she walked in the house said you got to
get a new alarm system that one could be disabled
with a pipe cleaner, and it's exactly how he does
it with a pipe cleaner in a cell phone. So
we cut back, but we see this guy. He's walking
through the house. He's obviously a Battie mc batterson, but
English so bad to McBeth. We're now back shopping and

(30:41):
Monica is posting pictures of possible sunglasses, letting people vote
on the best. She says it's marketing one oh one
and she just wants everyone's opinion about what she should wear.
Liz thinks it's probably better just be yourself, and then
absolutely freaks out of a very funny way that a
pair of sunglasses costs five hundred and forty dollars. That
is the face I make every time I'm shopping with
my wife and I'm like how much is that. It's like, well,

(31:02):
we'll go somewhere. She's like, you look really good in
the shirt. I'm like, hey, it's eight hundred dollars. Not
a chance in hell am I buying this shirt. I mean,
she really freaks out. She says she'll have to mortgage
your house if she breaks the pear. It was a
total overreaction, but I actually laughed. I thought it was
a funny one. She's like hyperventilating as an adult who
knows glasses can't be expensive. It's true, it was kind
of an unrealistic response, but it's maybe laugh because again,

(31:24):
it's the same one I have every time I look.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
But she said, mortgage her house. I was like, you
don't look at what you're wearing.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Don't house.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
You live in Brando and you know it.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
And oh, there are glasses that are like thousands of dollars,
aren't there.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yes, I'm not saying that about the It was just
her reaction. It was just like, of course she's not
gonna wear look at this lady who gears in no
way of what she like.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, she's Sandra Bullock in yes, secret beauty agent whatever
before she's con geniality yet.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
And no more Sandra Bullock references you've made too.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Can't make it okay, Sorry, it's so perfect, Yeah it is.
And so just like Sandra Bullock and Speed, they are
now in the store to return the melt to dress,
but it is too damaged and her hair that's for
you jetson, and her hair appointment pager is going off,
so as they rush out, Liz accidentally shoplifts those same

(32:26):
glasses and gets out of trouble when the security guard
comes over by flashing her retired cop card her identification.
So it turns out she was actually a police officer
at some point. Also, everyone thinks their mother and daughter.
This is an on running gag and it's really bothered
them both, and they have this funny almost Lenny and
Squiggy back and forth about not being a mother and daughter.

(32:47):
We are now back at the hair salon and she
is late again and much like Sandra Bullock in the Net,
they gave up her spot for a second time. I'm kidding,
I'll stop. She gets a new pager, but is suddenly
craving a cord do so at the food court while
snacking and getting a call from her dad, who I love.
They have the dad just checking in like, hey, you're
having a rough day, how's everything going? Just checking in?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
One of my favorite dads.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Me too, great dcom dad, Yeah, which is also why
I didn't feel like a DCM. Good pair. So, not
only does it turn out that Monica's losing more votes
for prom Queen, but Liz points out that she sees
Monica's boyfriend on a date with the other prom option,
Ashley the Evil, which would be her medieval name if
she had one. He is not taking care of orphans

(33:32):
at all. What taking care of orphans was a lie?
I didn't buy that. He of course he was taking
care of orphans she confronts Kyle and it quickly turns
into a battle, forcing Monica to cry in the bathroom,
and then Sierra walks in and they're they're kind of
she's her friend is comforting her, and Liz is watching
this exchange, and Liz something snaps in her and she

(33:52):
gets a little peeved and she's like, here we go.
So seeing Monica's dad pushes Liz to charge the cheating
boyfriend and pretends she's undercovered mall security to rough him
up and embarrass him with a weird game of Simon
Says and a bag search that reveals back hair remover
and self tannor in a bit of a metrosexual joke
you would see in twenty fifteen. Now, in that same joke,

(34:12):
they'd pull out the back hair remover and other guys
would be like, does that one actually work? Like, yeah,
because mine doesn't really work. By the way, I'm very
proudly a guy who never had back hair. Then the
real security comes in and busts Liz for pretending to
be mall security and for making a scene, and they
take her away. We are back at Monica's house, where
the debonair yet evil seeming possibly magical maybe British man

(34:37):
in a suit paces drinking tea. The house has been destroyed,
and then we see Monica's iPad laying around. It goes
off and he sees that she has an appointment coming
up soon at the DMV and this is a perfect
time to approach her. We are then at the police station.
Liz is in cuffs and she knows some of the officers,
including her old partner Ed, who ended up getting the

(34:57):
charges dropped. But they also have a little bit of
s flirt and energy going on.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Ed and Liz.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
There's something there, and Monica is the one who says,
uh oh, he likes you and you like him. But
obviously Liz does not have the Riz Liz no Riz.
She also apologized to Monica about her boyfriend and wonders
how she ever ended up with such a jerk, and well,
she says, like she does, it was from an online poll.

(35:24):
And then the police chief arrives and she, like every
great police chief trope, starts screaming at Liz in her office,
calling her a pig headed disgrace. Monica also finds out
she didn't quit the force at all, She was in
fact fired. Now free Morgan wants to know the truth
about Liz and why she wants the costume jewelry necklace back.
If she keeps lying, their deal is off. So this

(35:45):
is where it gets real. Liz reveals that the centered
diamond is worth a whopping seven million dollars. It is
not costume jewelry at all. It was actually the main
showcase piece and we'll get into that. But it was
stolen by that jewel thief that swab debonair maybe magical
guy Pierce Peters, who had broken into Morgan's house. Now

(36:06):
what happened was Liz actually oversaw the necklace when she
was a cop, but in a very very dramatic flashback,
she was very unsuccessful at protecting it. So it was
in a museum it was being shown for display, and
in a very mission impossible scene, Pierce floats in on
a rope and takes it away. Now that they're free,

(36:27):
Monica wants to know the truth about Liz and why
she wants the costume jewelry necklace if she keeps lying,
their deal is off, and this is where Liz reveals
that the center diamond is worth wait for it, people,
seven million dollars and was stolen by a jewel thief
that same possibly magical possibly British swab debonair guy Pierce Peters,

(36:48):
who's rocking around town in a convertible so people can't
see him. It was very strange, but it's a gorgeous
Aston Martin, so I'm not going to say anything about it.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Quick question is the necklace, nice necklace that was part
of my Sabrina Seas. Why when it's a special piece
of jewelry does it even when we were seeing like
the Crown of Descendants, why did they? How come it's
so hard to get a nice looking, expensive fake I
know it's got to be fake, but just this kind

(37:27):
of always it's always just kind of you know, it's
kind of it doesn't look expensive. There's when they said
seven million. I was like, that's a stretch.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
What's a big it was a big diamond?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Well yeah, but that's a It didn't look like a diamond.
It looked like I could go get some of Monroe's
plastic stories.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Right, this is seven million dollars. This was seven million bucks.
By the way, he is not British. He's actually Nev
Campbell's older brother. So we called that Pierce Pierce Pearson's
on the pierc Pearson sents it's actually Pierce Peters. So yes,
So Pierce floats up on a rope mission impossible style

(38:06):
and steals it. And I never understood if she was
armed and he's staring at her, why she didn't just
shoot him, which I think she, as a cop, would
have been perfectly in her right to do. If some
famous cat burglar sneaks in is six feet from you,
going up to one shot, that guy's dead hanging by
a rope, you get your necklace back. Bob's your uncle.
But no, apparently that didn't happen. She was so embarrassed
that she lost it that she never called for backrupt

(38:27):
and then became obsessed with her mistake, and because of
that her her work was suffering, and she was later fired.
Monica got the necklace because during an exchange with a
buyer for it, the thief gave it to the wrong person,
eventually landing into this. This I thought was very funny
how they tracked the how how the necklace got to Monic. Yes,

(38:48):
I thought it was cute the way they did at
me too. So it went to the wrong person for
the initial exchange it ended up in the hands of
a mime, a food truck, a card game, and then
to the pod and she and now she wants to
return the necklace to authorities to get her job back,
and she wants to be the person to walk in
and hand it back, and she also wants to help
Monica start making her own decisions. Monica admits she's scared

(39:11):
to be a disappointment and unpopular. I mean, her mom
left her when she was three, and that means she
must be some sort of a failure. It's a very
nice scene. The one thing I noticed about the scene though,
is it's just the two of them talking. It's very long.
It was a long scene for just the two of
them talking so long.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
I mean it was hard because I know it's tough
to have these sit down moments, taking all the energy
out and bringing it down. But the story of how
the necklace and then that led straight into the mom
it was a very long scene.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
It was I agree, it could have been maybe cut
up a little bit, but it was very nice scene. Nonetheless,
because she says her mom left me, and Liza shureser
that wasn't her fault. In a very very sincere moment.
But this is also why we find out Monica really
wants to be the prom Queen, because then you have
a title and a yearbook page to prove that you
actually have friends. The new partners have a very nice
moment before Monica realizes, wait a minute, it's time for

(40:03):
her driving test, so boom. Monica then convinces a very
very nervous Liz to let her use Brando for the test. Ooh,
this does not go well. She almost crashes into a
trash truck a block of houses, and eventually does take
out a line of trash cans. It is the worst
driving test in the history of driving. The only thing

(40:24):
she didn't do was actually physically run somebody over and
kill them.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Right. It's close, though, very pretty close. There were some
people on the sidewalk that I think she almost got
but luckily did.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
It it were you a good driver, to be honest,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
I wouldn't say I'm a great driver. My record's not awesome.
I'm a speeder. I do speed, but you have a record.
I'm not the worst. Well like, yeah, I I My
insurance is very expensive because they have a lot of
speeding tickets.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
With my record. I have speeding tickets. Yeah, can I
ask how many? Oh my gosh, I couldn't even honestly
tell you.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Really, Yes, I've gotten two speeding tickets of my entire life.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Jordan has only ever gotten one. I'm I mean, yeah,
I was not you have more than five? Oh, I'm sure,
I'm sure I do. I think I've always been in that.
You know you have the three points. I think I'm
kind of Wow. Yeah, I cannot get out of a

(41:29):
out of a ticket to at I can. I have
tried everything. I have tried, irritable bowel syndrome, I've tried
my friends in trouble. I need to get to her.
I've tried.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Have you tried slowing down?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, there's just a lot of there's a lot of
speed traps everywhere.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I know. But it's also amazing that you constantly you're
late to everything, and yet you're speeding all over the place.
I love the combination. Y, I just can't it's so bad.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, I'm not a great driver.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Well neither.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
I've slowed down and have.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Since had Yeah. Yeah, cargo precious, But I.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Also am brutal because I've got a bigger car now
I'm not in my sports car, so I do feel
a little bit higher up and a little bit more
in charge.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Great, give Sabrina a tank. Excellent anyway. The other person
who's not a good driver is Monica, who was instructed
to pull over by the driver instructor himself. She has
obviously failed the test, but while Monica begs for a
second chance, Pierce Peters speeds by and Liz tells her
you got a gun it, ignoring the instructor completely and
getting into a very dangerous high speed chase. It's actually

(42:42):
a pretty good dcom chase here. I thought I was
impressed with the contry.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I was really impressed. I don't know how they ended
up doing it, but it was so good. I think
to the part that I thought was really funny was
the slow mo yeah, the backer.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Go yeah, and poor and she just keeps talking about
poor Brando and everything happening to her car. It was
so they have one option to get rid of get
rid of this guy, because he is in a beautiful
Aston Martin. By the way, Sabrina, I'm just saying, if
you ever want to buy me a nice gift that
Aston Martin convertible, I'll take that I'll make shopping really

(43:19):
easy on you. Yes, Liz presses the mysterious red button
lightning off, lighting off a nitro boost, which is not
at all han nitrous works with smoke coming out of
the back of the car.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But anyway, I know I've watched way too many fast
Curious exact movie.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
That's not exactly how the smoke and the furious movie.
This is not at all the way it should have been. Yes,
very strange, but anyway, off a nitro boost and losing
the bad guy in a cloud of smoke, almost killing
a grandma pedestrian who hits his front light with her bag,
deploying his air bag. Monica obviously has failed to test,

(43:59):
and not only has that, but the instruction. It's so
bad that the instructor impounded Brando. The only one I've
heard of which is funnier and worse. And this is
a true story. My friend drove himself in his father's
car to his driver's test alone in the car. He
showed up. He pulled up to his driver's test in
his dad's car by himself to pick up the instructor.

(44:22):
In the instructors like where's where's He's like, No, I
just took the car like you literally don't have a license,
and they had to impound the car. True story.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Oh they did.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Impound of course, of course.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
I just thought they'd cark and call and you know, nope,
I think with by the way, not getting his license,
but you shall have to come get your hinder it.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Wow. They did all this just as Pierce stumbled on
the identity of Monica's dad and workplace. Oh no, so
now prom is ruined. They don't have a car, she
didn't get her license. Listen, Monica are now arguing outside
of the police station. They're taking low blows on each other.
This is the part of the film where the buddies
going to break up, until Monica says she'll just give

(45:02):
her the necklace. Just fine, just take it and get
away from me. But it's in the car that was
just towed away. Oh no. Monica starts to walk home,
only to run into the mime, of course, which is
amazing because most mimes it takes them forever to get
somewhere because they're always walking against the wind. Then they
get a smoldering call sorry that it was a bad

(45:22):
mime joke. Is that is that wrong? Hey? Come on,
mime is money. Then they get a smoldering call from
Pierce about meeting him later with the necklace or things
will get unpleasant for her dad, who has now been
taken hostage. Yeah, oh man, that's rough. That's rough. Lis

(45:42):
and Monica are now panicking. They rush to the towyard
for Brando, but are told that they need to wait
hours to get their turn to wait for their turn
to get the car, so Monica successfully sneaks behind the
counter and hacks into the DMV system, showing again that
she's a genius, and marks the towing as an error.
While this also gives liz Is an opportunity to do
something she is very very bad at, which is flirting.

(46:03):
But she's still flirting very badly with the front desk clerk.
But they speed away after getting the car back, now
working together again perfectly, until Monica notices that the necklace
that she thought was going to be in the car
is gone. She must have mixed up her bag with
Sierra's bag, who is currently at the park taking PROMP pictures.
And we know this because one of the things that
we talk about, and they talked about in the beginning

(46:24):
of the film was that there's an app on the
phone that shows where all your friends are at all times,
and Liz is like, why would you do this? I
have a phone from the nineteen forties kind of thing.
Is very funny. She doesn't want to be tracked by
anybody or any of that kind of strang.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Now, this is so big because in twenty fifteen, this
was when it wasn't just Facebook anymore. There was Instagram, Snapchat,
all these apps. Snapchat you can literally see where everyone is.
You have to turn that wa.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Wait, so Snapchat you can see where everyone is at
all the time.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yes, if they have it one, it's wherever their phone is.
So yeah, so all your friends can see like, oh,
you're at the mall or you're at home or whatever.
It's a part that you have to turn off on
Snapchat if you don't want it.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
It's funny because I think Sandra Bullock had to do
that in bird Box.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Oh absolutely, I love.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Seeing she's the best. Uh Okay, So the ladies jump
on a bike, which is the only thing they can
rent at the time that has a sidecar, to go
and find Sierra. They end up crashing right near another
photo shoot with Kyle, her boyfriend, and Monica's ex is

(47:33):
there as well. This got really weird. So in the
morning he was planning on going to prom with her,
but by lunch he was going to go to the
prom with the evil girl. Like it was that quick.
Was he not gonna Was he just not going to
show up at prom? Was he not gonna tell her? What?

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Was?

Speaker 2 (47:48):
I think? Once it was clear she obviously knew the
jig was up?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
But the right question? Was he going to go to
prom with her?

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I don't know, because Ashley mentioned it. She was taking
her her boyfriend away and then was going to take
prom queen away from her.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Too, So when are we going to find this out?

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Maybe he was just gonna stand her up, That's what
I thought. When I saw I was like, oh, okay, man,
you were three steps ahead of this little thing that
it seems like a nice girl. She doesn't seem mean,
she seems nice, and yeah, you're just being a big jerk.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah, this was this was this was like cartoonish evil.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, and wearing green looking like Green Ivy out there.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, I like, I'm a big fan of green, but
not that one.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
But Green Ivy from the from Batman movie. Did she
kind of give you that vibe with her red hair?

Speaker 1 (48:40):
You mean poison ivy?

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Is it poison ivy green? Oh?

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Oh, Sabrina, Oh it hurts me, It hurts me in
my nerddom. You have no idea how much it hurts me.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Green ivyfferent Anyway, I was.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
But Kyle then says he's made a mistake for dumping
her because the other girl, Ashley is a big bully.
He still wants to take Monica to the prom. When
they yeah, they call Liz old, but then Liz intimidates
them and for some reason, they then fall into a river,
which was very far behind them by this point. I

(49:19):
was in so I didn't care.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
Yeah, And it just shows how big of losers that
Kyle and Ashley are were really the biggest losers in
the film that nobody ever talks about are the poor
orphans that Kyle apparently has not been helping.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
No.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Eventually, they do get to Sierra and they switch bags
and boom, the necklace is in there. Now with the
treasure in hand, they go to meet Pierce and save
Monica's dad. We also find out that this is amazing
and kind of a fun little tidbit that we come
to learn is that the police chief that is screaming
at Liz the whole time turns out to be Liz's mom. Yes, wow,

(49:59):
it's mom. Did you buy that?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
No? No, No, there didn't look like there was enough
of an age difference between I thought to the same thing.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
They look like they were kind of the same age.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah. I knew there. There was more obviously to the
backstory of it. I could tell that, but not this.
That was a stretch.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Yeah. I would have made her much older, And.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
It would have been probably better if we never saw
the mom again, because then when she.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Yeah, when she comes back, it's like, well, had you
and I was nine? Oh yeah, yeah, very Yeah. I
kind of didn't buy that. I love the idea.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I did.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
I thought the actor who played and the actor was fine,
but I thought the actor should have been older than she. Yes, yeah,
but anyway, it shows that they're all have their mommy issues.
To put it mildly, Monica says not having a mom
has made it hard to trust herself. She needs validation.
In return, Liz gives her a pep talk about how
great Monica is and she doesn't need anybody else to

(50:59):
prove it. We get a touching moment between the two partners,
who are actually turns out facing pretty similar problems. That's
when they enter the warehouse and Monica completely blows their
cover by yelling hello the second they walk in, which
is you're not supposed to ever do when you're trying
to sneak places.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
You know we're sneaking in. We are already done covering
getting nest to this place.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Why did you just what are you doing? We're sneaking in,
bro But that's when Pierce appears and demands in his
perfect English accent, the diamond from the girls or Monica's
dad is going to pay. Monica does eventually hand over
the necklace, and Pierre says he'll text them with the
location of her dad when he sees fit. But as
he confidently walks off, Monica and Liz call him an idiot,

(51:42):
and now Pierce is confused, what are they even talking about?
Monica says she knows exactly where her dad is, runs
off to the side room till on tie him. Pierce
knows his gig is up, so he hooks a rope
to his back. Again. This guy likes to hook himself
to the ceilings and starts to soar away, but there's
that's when Monica says, you know what different this time?
She called for backup, and boom, there's police backup everywhere.

(52:05):
Liz pulls out her stun gun as this guy's going
away and shoots him in mid air, which she should
have done with an actual gun the first time he
tried this, But anyway, we got it. Now she hands
Pierce over to the cops and the day is saved.
We're now back at the station police, you know, Liz
is there, visits her mom again, the police chief, and
she returns the stolen necklace the way she wants to Boom,
I am here to return the necklace. You can book Pierce,

(52:27):
and now she's welcome back to the force with open arms.
Nearby by the way, Monica and her dad are talking
about college, because that's what you do when you're at
the police station. She doesn't want to leave him, but
she wants to follow her heart to Mit. He knows
it'll all work out. He's probably ecstatic that his kid
is going to Mit. She's going to invent a new
color or something really important, and they're going to be trigillionaires.

(52:48):
And then a pager goes off in Monica's bag. We've
forgotten about the pager, but there it is. They have
an opening at the hair salon. She can still make
the prompt. Liz rushes her into the station's evidence room,
where they find prompts options you know, like all the
criminals usually wear or the multiple options to prom dresses.
So there they go. She picks up a prom dress,
a motorcycle, and a large bag of cocaine, and off

(53:11):
they head to the prom. I'm kidding she gets motor
She gets neither a motorcycle nor cocaine, but of course
finds the perfect dress and Liz gives her a like
you do the seven million dollar necklace to wear as
long as she is escorted by security, which seems like
a very bad thing to do the first day you're

(53:32):
back off suspension is to bring the kid into first
the property room with all the drugs and guns and
murder weapons, and then handle the seven million dollar piece
of evidence.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Oh, ky dokichoki.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
That does not seem to be the right thing to do.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Not seem very likely, but yes, okay.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
Halfway through the kilo of coke they've taken, they are
now at the prom. I'm kidding. There's no cocaine in
this movie. Liz, Monica, and Monica's dad are and ready
to attend. Of course, Liz has to be there because
she's a copy and has to look at the necklace.
Her dad has to be there because who knows why
dads do not belong at the prom unless you are
there to be one of the chaperones. But even that's

(54:13):
kind of horrifying if your dad's there. But anyway, I
wouldn't know because I didn't go. With police presence outside,
including Liz's mom, the chief, everybody's there. Monica walks in
and her hair is really short. Liz cut it. I
don't know much about hairstyles, but it still looked like
kind of a bad hair day to me. Yeah, am
I wrong? Didn't look great.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
That's one of my last Sabrita seas. Oh my god.
The wig.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
It didn't look great.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Oh it didn't it. It calms down through the speech.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
I will say, it does, it does.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
But she got out of the car, it was like, wow, wow,
whoa there you go?

Speaker 1 (54:53):
There you go? Okay? Well that's that.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Was where to go?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
That was her answer.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
I would hate to have seen the other possibilities. Yeah,
it wasn't great, but it still gets better. Because if
that wasn't enough of an ending, Sarah reveals that Monica
also won prom Queen. What a day. Now she's wearing
the crown inside. Monica thanks her classmates, but explains is
not as important to her as it was before what

(55:19):
she went through. Today, she's learned that she can just
be herself because perfect is overrated and there's no need
to put everything up for a vote. She smiles at Liz. Oh,
and by the way, she tells everybody she's going to
mit and I thought it was very funny where Liz
then yells out, yeah, ye are where it was, like, okay,
it was funny.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
That's what Monroe has to look forward to her entire life,
because I like to no just.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Me being like yeah girl, yeah, yeah you will, Gina,
That's gonna be great. It's the only thing that's gonna
embarrass her more is when she finally gets to meet
her uncle Will because oh, do kids love me? They do?
I'm telling you. So, let's party one last time with
this prom people. As Monica and her dad cut a

(56:04):
jig and Liz reconnects with the old flame from a
police station, streamers and balloons drop from the ceiling, and
as we love to do on some of these movies,
we get some bloopers. I love it and I do too,
very funny way. It shows that they had fun shooting
the movie, and that comes off they work. The two
of them together were great together again, not at all

(56:27):
a bad movie, just a great deco. Yes, so, and I.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Will say I will not agree to do any type
of other publicity campaigny thing with you unless we have
that bike with the with the car seat.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Yes, you look so funny and as long as you're
in your driving the bike, I want to be in
the car seat. But then again we'll get no, we'll
get pulled over, get pulled over, get a speeding ticket,
forget that. That's all I'm gonna need is this is
all I just see. This is just I see, I
see you, You and I on the side of the road.
You're driving the bike, I'm in the basket with the thing.

(57:05):
We've been pulled over by the police and you're trying
to explain irritable bowel syndrome to the cop as were
And that's just me the thing officer.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Yeah, oh man.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Can we do some real reviews please? And I think
this week you have the five star review.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
I do.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
I think I've gotten a couple of the five star
but I actually really like them.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Do you want me to do the ones? Do you
want me to?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I want to do this? This was mine. I love it.
We've got a five star from Bunny K. She may
have had a bad hair day, but the movie was
far from bad. It was highly spectacular. I would recommend
it to anyone I know, and I have.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
You go good. That's a great five star review. I
have the one star review this week. It is by
Ria P. I am going to read it exactly is written.
I would not recommend this place. They layered my hair toothin.
It looked so ugly. Yes, apparently this woman thought they
it was a hair salon called Bad Hair Day and

(58:15):
not actually the movie. We've seen this before with other reviews,
but that is the actual review. Ria P. Would not
recommend this place. They layered her hair too thin.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Riya, why did you go to a hair salon that
was called Bad Hair Day?

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Yeah? Yeah, I went to this place called layer your
Hair toothin and they layered my hair tooth in exactly.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
We have again every week. We are now at Sabrina's
favorite portion of the program our featured game, and the
game this week is called Google Hair Day. So website
style Seat analyzed the Google volume nationwide of people looking
up celebrity hairstyles and figured out which famous hairdews are

(59:03):
the most searched for by state and region. So, for example,
in Maryland, Kate Middleton is the most searched for hairstyle
and in North Carolina it's Bradley Cooper. But regionally there
are four celebrities total that are the most search for,

(59:23):
so we have to guess the four making up the Northeast, Midwest, South,
and West. The ones already mentioned are not part of
the four, and here's a hint. Two of them are
Disney stars. So we have to essentially pick the four
people through the range of the country whose hairdws get

(59:43):
googled the most, and.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Are they ranked it. Do we have to rank them
to no?

Speaker 4 (59:49):
No, no, you need to name the four that are
that are regionally most popular. But then I'll also throw
in one other hint. They are all in this case females.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Okay, good, Yeah, I have one. I think I think
it's gonna be okay, And I always pronounce her name wrong?
Is it Zendaya or Zindaia Zindaya right? Zindaia Zenda.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
That is the number one googled hair hut in the South.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
So I nailed one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Okay, definitely Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Kim Kardashian is the most googled in the West. You
now have two of the four.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Wow, Okay, Vanessa Hudgens has gotta be.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Okay, Vanessa Hudgens is not unless you are time traveling.
She is not Ina is this this is currently?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
Currently? Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
This is current?

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
O oh oh oh Demi Levado, Demivado not one of
the four?

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
No? No, no, no no, who was Who's Who's big now?

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
And who was a dizneyl oh oh?

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Okay, okay, okay, hold on before we give our final answers.
We've got Sabrina Carpenter, We've got Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Rodrigo,
Sophia Carson.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
I think Sabrina might be one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Yeah, her banks are, so let's go with her.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Because yeah, okay, Sabrina Carpenters not one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Whow Olivia Rodrigue Should we throw that one? Then?

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Olivia Rodrigo also not one of them. You're not thinking
of this I can't believe you're not thinking of this person.
I mean, one of them, I think is very difficult.
But I think Danielle Fischal No, no, but again, once.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
You're honestly, Danielle had to have been.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
That's at one point she would have been. No. No,
that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Oh, it's huge.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
Now do you want more hints?

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Yes, give us, give us one hint.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Okay, the Disney Star could have had two different personalities
on the list. Really, I thought that was too easy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
The Disney Star could have had two different personalities on
the list.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
I'm sure people are screaming at their radios. Personalities.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Oh oh, oh, a hand of Montana.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Yes, Miley Cyrus. Okay, tied in the Midwest with this
other person who also won the Northeast. So technically the
person you're missing has won two regions.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Oh wow, what can you give us? Can you give
us a hint for that one?

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
The hint is that she's a singer, very current, and it's.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Not Sabrina but but oh oh, it's got to be
it's gotta be Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
No, which to be honest, I was surprised. Not Taylor Swift.
But Taylor Swift's not like a hair You're not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Like, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
It's hard to think when she's backtracking so hard. I'm like,
it's difficult. She's really really just shuffling her feet back.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Here, backtracking so hard and shuffling your feet. He's giving
us clues.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
How this, How about this? Taylor in the world, Taylor Swift,
You're you're in the right world. Pop star? Okay, not
Taylor not alternative, pop star, alternative.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
I have all excuses for not getting this, by the way, Sabrina,
all right, I'm ready to give up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
You got three of the four, the lead of the
Northeast and tied in the Midwest with Miley cyrus Is
Billie Eilish.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Oh okay, I got stuck in the Disney World.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
You already got the two you got Zendane Miley.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Yeah, okay, I've never heard of Billie Eilish song in
my life. You'll always say that, but no, I really haven't, really,
no ever in my life. She's in all fairness, other
than party in the U.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
S A.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
I've never heard of Miley Cyrus song in my life
either anyway, Well, thank you for once again pointing out
our flaws. That's always the way it seems to work.
It's fine, much like Sandra Bullock murdered by numbers. Okay,
let's now rate our movie. Are one out of ten

(01:04:10):
this week? We've got one out of ten options, one
out of ten five hundred dollars sunglasses, one out of
ten cars named Brando, one out of ten inmate prom dresses,
one out of ten mysterious red buttons, one out of ten,
bad short haircuts from a police officer, or one out
of ten fake orphans.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
What would you like to do this week's I think
one out of ten inmate prom dresses.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
That was Thank you. I can agree with you the
big stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
That we had in this movie.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
I think you went first last time, if memory sir, yes,
so I'm gonna go first this time. This is a
strange one for me because it is as I've said,
it is not a bad movie. It just doesn't feel
like a dcom. And where for instance, something like prom
Packed didn't feel like a dcom, it felt like a
new version of a dcom. It still took place at school,

(01:05:00):
it was still all about the kids. It's still so
that felt more like a modern d coom. This felt
like a movie they shot that then they sold to
Disney as a DCOM. I know that's not what it was,
but that's what it felt like.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Right. We've had a couple of those that feel that way,
where they it's it's that it misses the d COM mark.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Yes, I am going to give this with that in mind,
because I liked the acting. I thought Laura was great.
I thought uh Lee Lee Allen was great. With that
in mind, I'm going to give this a six point
five in maybe nice dresses. Yes, it is. Again, it
is not a bad movie. Had we just watched this
movie and it was just a movie, I would have

(01:05:38):
been like, hey, this was a cute movie. This is
you know. But because I know we're putting it in
the in the world of the d com, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Through and we're comparing where you are comparing them to
d com, so I think it's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Yeah, it is not a bad movie by any stretch
of the imagination.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
We are going to for two, I think because last
week I think we had the same rating. I am
right there with you. Six point five In Nate prom
dresses all the same reasons. There were just too many
main If it had just been Lizz's character, it probably
wouldn't have been that much. But there were too many
main adult characters in the movie to be a d

(01:06:12):
calm world for me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Yeah. Maybe, I mean, you know, it's funny. Maybe you
do something like, if you're gonna do a rewrite, you know,
Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe the guy who's the the the thief,
maybe you make it the thief son who's actually in
high school himself trying to make a name for himself.
So the main bad guy is sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Years old, and everyone that even like the worker behind
the hair person could have been a braddy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
He Yeah, they were all like adults.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
They were all adults. It was, you know, surrounded with adults.
But I did like it. I have, so I've got
to check off all my Sabrina seeds.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Yeah, I was gonna say, can we do Sabrina seas?

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Okay? Did you catch on to when we first see
who's the action? What we now know Liz is not
the villain. We actually see the first the villain for
the first time. They do this shot of his him
getting out of his his aston Martin who getting shot
of that, but he's wearing red and white socks. And

(01:07:15):
because it was so it was you could see it
under his because it was so a shot of just that,
just the bottom of the car. I kept thinking the
whole time, what are they? What are these socks gonna mean?

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
Wait a minute, Ronald McDonald stole this necklace?

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
When are these socks? And it never happened, as you know,
good one. I uh like, I said, the unnecessary accent
of that lady. She bothered me just as much as
you did. Did you catch the the mocker do the macarena?
And he's like, I don't even know? That makes feel
so old? I was like, oh that is awful.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
The safety No, well, maybe show me. I bet you.
I do a little the song to do the safety dance.
Dun't eighties forget it. I wanted to feel really really bad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
I did did you think at all that because we
knew the jewel was the set of jewels was in
the makeup palette? Did you at all think when they
were doing their makeup on and they were getting fixed up,
that that switch or something was going to happen? Did
you call that?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Did you? I did?

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
I didn't even think about it. I didn't about it
because she pulled.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
Out that same palette and her friend had the same one.
I was like, oh no, she lost it. I saw
that that was a quick little thing. Then to receive
it her taking her entire Now, girls will totally get this.
A makeup palette of everything is so bulky, easily breakable.
You would never take that and put it in your

(01:08:52):
clutch of your prom like attire. Okay, it was ridiculous
that Sierra had that on her.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Thank god she did.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Thank god she did it. Save the movie. But at
the same time, that was a little big, too much
of a stretch. I also thought it was crazy that
the police evidence was allowed to be taken to prom.
That was crazy. And then my last thing is literally,
O MG, the wig.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Okay, there you go. Sabrina sees the wig, as did
the rest of us. Well, thank you everybody so much
for joining us for our film this week, Bad Hair
Day again, not a bad movie, just kind of felt
weird as a dcom and we are not giving up
on Bad Hair Day yet. This week on our magical
rewind feed, we're here with yes Lee Allen Baker herself

(01:09:39):
aka officer Liz, who not only started Bad Hairday, but
she produced it, so we're gonna dive even deeper into
this buddy comedy. She just keeps getting awesomer and awesomer.
Here is a small snippet.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
I did my own stunts in that Carlic when we
were driving around. I was driving around and there were
literally there was a radio that she would help operate
in the car, and there would be a guy this
corner being like go, people like go, like go, people
like it's gonna stay green green, or it's turned yellow.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Pushy, pushy, push it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
I'm literally driving around the body.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
