Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh Sabrina, Oh Sabrina, Oh Sabrina. It's time. This is
the first time we've ever done this. We were like
we're doing a recap of a movie that just launched,
where like we've I feel like we're part of the
zombies world. Now you got to go to the premiere,
you got to meet the whole cast, you got to
I couldn't go, and it crushed me that I couldn't go.
It was something so much fun.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It was a blast. It was so fun, and I
do I don't know. I've got to figure out what
is there like fandom nickname? Am I a zombie head
or like what am because it is me a zhead?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Because that is I mean, and now especially on Instagram
because I tagged them and I've just been like posting
so much. It is all that is what my Instagram, Like,
oh I have now and now I'm like into it.
I'm here even more behind the scenes than like, wait,
what happened to my regular feed with my with my
cooking recipes and my child activity exact?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Now, yeah, mine is mine is just appliances for the
kitchen we're redoing. It's just random, like do you need
a new synk.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I can't look at this stuff anymore. Just but you
know what I can look at, yes, is Zombies four,
and that's why we're here. But before we get into it,
I just want to welcome you 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 waves tsunamis
and there were four Zombies movies. Yes, that is correct.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm Wilford Dell and I have Sabrina Bryan.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And like the saying goes, good things come in fours.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is that a saying? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
And we're here to prove it because we're breaking down
the newest installment in the Zombies franchise, the just released
Zombies four. This time it's even more personal than the
last three times. No Zombies four. Dawn of the Vampires
is how I say. It's the Dawn of the Vampires
and no matter when my palace, Abrina got the honor
of watching it. It debuted July tenth on the Disney Channel,

(02:11):
a massive premiere for the studio. Then it was available
to stream on Disney Plus the following day. That was
a bit of an audible call by the executives, as
it was initially intended to just be a Disney Plus
original movie and not involve the Channel. But I mean,
come on, you can't do that because the whole thing
started on the Channel, so you gotta make it. Make
it o g. The movie is the fourth entry of
the now quad quadrilogy. Yes, this is what we're gonna

(02:35):
call it, a quadrilogy, following the original twenty eighteen Zombies,
then twenty twenties Zombies two, and then twenty twenty two
Zombies three and even years pattern. I assume Disney will
be following for the next decade or so. Let's start
with the big difference between Zombies four and its predecessors,
and that's the filming location. The prior three were all
filmed in the dcom capital of the World, which I

(02:56):
think we can kind of call it that now Toronto, Canada.
But this Disney sent them to Auckland, New Zealand, most
likely for some pretty sweet tax incentives amongst beautiful beach views.
It is almost a return to form for Disney, since
we saw them do exactly the same thing with our
recently reviewed Ripped Girls or Janie Tsunami, I think is
what we were calling and I can't remember what we

(03:17):
ended up calling it the surfing movie that was not
a surfing movie, Julie Tsunami. There you go. In the press,
this movie is regularly being called a quote unquote passing
of the torch for the franchise, introducing new young characters
to take over. Is that fair, Sabrina?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I mean absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
They've literally singing a song about it, which we'll get into.
We will get to the cast soon enough, but first
let's talk budget. So similarly to Zombie's three, this movie
is a massive investment, and boy did it ever look expensive.
And that's because it costs again a whopping and reported
forty million dollars. Yes that's forty people, not fourteen forty.

(03:55):
And man, I mean it looked like it costs forty
million dollars to me, what did.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
You say it did? In comparison to everything we've seen
on the channel, this is on a whole other level,
whole other level which we've already seen a bit of,
like you mentioned, like in the third one when we
were talking about the makeup the eyes, how when z
goes in and out of zombieing out. Yeah, you see
it there, But this is even the next level. It's

(04:20):
crazy even higher.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
It added the two new cities and all that stuff.
It looked great. The only movie with a higher budget
to date for Disney Channel original movies was Double Teamed,
which came in at one hundred and fifty three million dollars.
I'm kidding. All of that was made up. Double Team
cost eighteen dollars and a pack of gum. I still
get Mikayla very very quickly doing all of these Podmets

(04:43):
World live shows and conventions. People are I'm starting to
hear everywhere. I love Magical Rewind. I'm addicted to Magical Rewind.
Don't make me you. Double Teamed is the best movie
ever made. So I just keep going, Oh, that's so sweet,
and you're wrong. It wasn't rug anyway, So yeah, okay.
It's really an insane turn of events for a failed

(05:06):
Disney Channel pilot. It's a This entire series of films
was a failed pilot for a show that they turned
into a movie. It is now neck and neck with
the Descendants for the channels most successful and expensive franchise.
Not something you ever think could happen when a pilot
doesn't get picked up. I mean, I know, crazy to
me that it goes from we don't want your show

(05:28):
to it is a tent pole of the entire company.
It's a Disney channel.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
We've got to figure out who it is that we
need to talk to that was there at the channel
during the time that the pilot failed, and who it
was that was the integral part that said, let's just
make this a d com because we need to hug
that person.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
We need to give that a big.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thank God, I would not I would not have the
feelings I have right now if someone didn't come up
with that brilliant idea.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
And the other thing I will say is I see
how it could have been a television show, but they
never could have done with the television show what they've
been able to do with the films. So it landed
where it was supposed to land, is what I would say.
But you're right, thank god, somebody figured out we got
to make this movie, and then.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
They got to figure out who that was, who are.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It is we need to talk to you? And of
course you can't talk about zombies itself without getting into
the soundtrack. We've got another slew of jams released in
full on the eleventh, but the singles The Place to
Be and Don't Mess With Us were leaked first to
drum up excitement for the movie. The album includes some
of the top songwriters and producers in the business, with
credits like Demi Lovado, Dove Cameron Paw, Patrol High School Musical,

(06:41):
The Musical The Show, which is still the greatest title ever,
and a lot of past zombie movies. How did you
think the song stacked up with previous bops?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Honestly, I right from the start, the first bok that
we hear, I'm like, all right, we in. I was
so locked and loaded and you were.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
You were just ready to go. And this is why
I think you.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I know, oh will I am ready? But I you know,
honestly though, at the end of the day, the one
that's been in my head since last Tuesday's premiere party
that I was at is Someday.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
It just from the first movie.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Something about that song from the first movie that it's
one of those things. I don't know what you can
do to top it because it's just so good and
I mean it, But in my head watching all four
of them now and again, this is their first franchise
of the channel. We have watched every single one, and

(07:46):
so I do see why that song it's come back
every I know for my franchise, we didn't bring back songs.
We didn't bring back Cheetah sisters, And I'm going, why
the hell didn't we do that? This was like so good?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Was the third one? I want to know. I don't
want to know. I don't want to know. Don't tell me.
I don't want to know. But but no, you're right.
Here's what I'm gonna say before we get into the
whole thing. For me, they go in order. The first
one is my favorite. The second one I thought was

(08:19):
great but not as good as the first one. The
third one I thought was good but not as good
as the first two. And this was my least favorite
of the four. Oh wow, I and again not a
bad movie. Definitely not a bad movie. But I thought
at times it was needlessly convoluted. I don't think they
figured out exactly we talk about the magical system, what
the vampires and the Daybreakers actually day Walkers actually do.

(08:42):
The kids are great, but it played like much more
of a Disney channel. We can do this if we
work together like. It was way more that than the
cleverness of the first one. So I liked it. It
was it was a fun, fun watch. I thought it
was again needlessly convoluted. A lot of it didn't make
a whole mess of sense. The new cast is great.

(09:04):
Of course, she's adorable. He's great. That they don't have
the same chemistry that Milo and Meg did. Maybe it'll come,
but they didn't have it right off the jump like
Milo and Meg did. There was something about going to
Seabrook the first time. It's something you'd never experienced before.
It's the human because we don't know who that that.
She's party alien at the time, So it's the human
and the zombie, the prime together. It's the the Romeo

(09:25):
and Juliet thing. It worked so well. They were so amazing.
You were just into the world. The music was great,
and it's they've gotten I don't want to say progressively worse,
because that's not the right way to put it. They're
not as good as the first one.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
In order for me, Yeah, I don't know if I
can one hundred percent agree with this.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I feel like we kicked off and restarted again.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So you so you would put this up there with
as good as the first one.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I would put it right under the first one.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wow, so you like this better than the second one?
When they introduced the werewolves.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's hard for me because you know that if I
had to pick a monster, that the one I go.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
So that's like kind of a hard question. But in
the sense that we weren't at.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Seabrook like we had the new we had enough new
things versus like the second one, like you said, was
just kind of somewhat part two, Like it started to
be the same issue and we were in the same environment.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Now that you took me out of that environment, I was.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Able to like reset and and watch it almost like
as a first time allow these characters to be first
time characters for me, and we're in a different world.
We're not having the exact same problems, or that there
are similar problems, but like it's to stop other things.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I was just able to kind of start fresh with
the new set.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
New Zealand was good for me.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, no, that's good. That was in New Zealand. Do
you do you like well you knew the two new
leads as much as Milo and Meg.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I loved Freya. I oh, I felt enough with her,
not what I.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Asked, well, oh sorry, her character.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Do you like the do you think the leads the
two leads have the same chemistry, that might.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Have the same chemistry.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I think they do, but for me, they they this was.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
A lot younger than when we met at Addie and Zed.
Addison and Zed they felt much younger. Right Like Addison
and Z already felt a lot they are out like
a level of maturity. This felt younger. So it just
was so again I just was taking it on as
a different a different set of roles, not the same
as them. I just they were much younger to me.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
This one's the thing I came away with most from
this one was that it took itself too serious. Like
the thing I loved about the first one was Bucky
coming through the I.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Mean it's like there's a tongue in.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Cheekness about the zombies world where it's look at these
cheerleaders and the zombies are zombie. I mean there was
something so kind of fun about it, where this one
is very heavy and they wanted to pull the emotion
and you know what's gonna happen, And so I missed
the kind of hung in cheek vibe of the first one.
But I get true, well, we'll get we'll get it.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I guess I didn't miss it because I didn't really.
I mean, they had a couple characters that were like,
you know, quirky and whatever, but not the same not
a Bucky that this miss dismissed a Bucky. I don't
think Bucky could have been there, but they needed a bucket.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Agreed, Yeah, agreed. You took away Bucky and Bonzo. So
both the crazy kind of characters that you had that
are supposed to be absurd are gone.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
And everybody best friend to her like right and.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yes and gone. Yeah yeah, so you're everybody's taking themselves
very seriously in this movie. It is. It is like
the drama version of the zombiesch I get.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And you couldn't kill my vibe.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Hey, if you loved it, then I can't kill you.
And again, I didn't dislike it. I absolutely did not
dislike it at all.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
You just like the first one better.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I just I thought it took it. I thought it
was needlessly convoluted and it took itself too seriously. That
was Those are my takeaways from this. Again, you're watching
a forty million dollar musical with young, bright, shiny new
actors and good music and man, can she sing so gay?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
As a star? Astoria is she's gonna been, Oh my
gosh and fifteen she she is a star?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Absolutely. It was a different vibe
for me than the first Zombies movie. That's I guess
that's all I would say. But anyway, okay, well let's
also talk. Let's talk about dance. As the dance expert.
I was trying to because you always point out to me,
You're like, oh, they give like everybody gets a different

(13:41):
style of dance. The Zombies gonna style, the wherewel's get
a style. I was trying to spot the differences between
the day Walkers and and the vampires and everybody else,
and it seemed like everybody was dancing the same way.
Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
No, you're correct. That's one of the very first things
because we get as soon as we were fr I mean,
we're gonna get like the other things that happened before
where we meet them. But that was I was like,
when we're watching their first thing, I'm like, okay, here
we go. And I was like, oh, but they did
it differently because if you notice they're doing the same choreography,
but they are mirroring it. So when the one side's

(14:13):
using their right arm, the other side saw their left,
which is cool, so they're more of mirroring. So I
was like, Okay, this is a different take on what
we've done. So it's kind of and it's like the
night versus the Light like monsters, right, And so I
guess that's kind of what they did instead, because it's
like two new ones and versus just one new monsters.

(14:35):
And to me, it was like this was a different
take on what they've done before, where they're the same
style but they're opposites. And the fact that they're like
mirroring each other.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
But even when Zed and Willa and all them were dancing,
they didn't have their own style anymore. It just seemed
like everybody was kind of doing these big dances, right.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I saw hints of it here and there, but it
wasn't as deliberate as it seemed like. It wasn't as
much of a choice and deliberate as it seemed like,
especially in that third movie, to segregate all the different monsters, right.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I guess I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
If that was a choice or if they kind of
maybe just forgot you have to think too.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
The other ones were done a little bit closer.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's been three years since they like they said, there
was three year break between the last one and this
one when I was interviewing them. So I wonder if
things like that kind of just got shuffled, and you know,
their focus was just mainly on these two new monsters
or what it was. But it definitely was something that
was very specifically done and purposely like detailed, where it

(15:36):
didn't seem like that was what they were focused on.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
This this go Well. The thing that was interesting again
because talking to you, I look at I'm now actually
trying to look at the dancing instead of just seeing
shapes going by me that are shaping its shiny. Yeah. Yeah.
And the thing that I noticed most is the opening
number at the college at Mountain College did seem like
now it was they were all dancing as if they

(16:02):
were one team. So there was a hybrid of the
Zobby dance and the alien dance and the Werewolf dance
that they were all kind of doing now because and
I was like, oh okay, I picked that up. I
wonder what the new dance style is going to and
then it didn't seem like there was any new dance style.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, well they're no. I mean, I think their style
was different, but they were just the same. There was
not a difference of significant difference between the data and.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Maybe that's how they did that purpose. I don't know.
But the choreography, of course credited to I want to
get this right, Don Draco Johnson, an associate choreographer Taya Wilde,
obviously has its own style compared to the other movies.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
We're getting a direct like, yes, information from our expert Lisa.
She's saying the choreographer said, it's more subtle, more like
a Chicago versus New York dance style.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Okay, because they're technically from the same place.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Okay, yeah, because yes, so it's like that subtle difference
is like arm movements, but okay, it wasn't something as
much of like a dinner facile face off.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Okay, that makes sense because again they're kind of from
the same place.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Just fank, God, I need to talk to this choreographer.
I'm so obsessed with them.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
As I was saying, it goes without saying. You can
watch Zombies four on Disney Plus it is the big
channel push for the movie this year, and it is everwhere.
It's everywhere, every everywhere, so.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
You cannot you can't miss watch TV and Zombies.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
And it's worth the watch absolutely. Also, this is a
very recent release of our podcast is basically just one
big spoiler. We're only a weekend so only listen if
you don't care to get spoiled or you've already seen it.
But either way you have now been warned. So our
hands are clean. Our hands are clean. You've been warned,
just letting you know. Okay, So before Zombies for more

(17:49):
excited for the new Zombies movie or more excited to
see the next Descendants. We've only done one Descendants. We
have a whole other freaking like I.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Know, to the point where I'm like it's crazy to
me and it makes me one or because the Descendants
knocked me off my feet with the level of what
we saw with Zombies as well, just like so intricate,
so specific and so creative, and so I'm like now
going like are they going to be able to hold

(18:16):
it up? You know? Is how realizing and watching how
hard it looks to do when you're just entering like
and bringing a whole new world to your audience.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I'm very excited to see Descendants.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I am true.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't know if I can say I'm like more
excited or was more excited. I think I was super well,
I guess I was because we've gotten a chance to
interview so many of the actors from this movie, and
we talked to Paul about it. We've gotten a lot
of in depth, so we know so much of it,
and we've talked to people that are so passionate about

(18:51):
what their work was. But then this franchise that I
think it did help me just like boost my excitement.
And then to find out that I was going to
get a part doing the breast junket and then I
was gonna get to go all of that, Like I
just was like, all right, I'm diving in, Like I
I was so excited to be able to watch and man,
just like to get the ability to watch the movie

(19:15):
before anyone else, I have to download like three apps
like sign all of this paperwork that I would not
I mean it they lock it down. Then it took
them like five days to send to me. I mean
it was this was like I felt like I was
like top secret agent working here.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
So it was actually very cool, so cool. I'm jealous.
I hope everybody missed me because I missed y'all.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
We did every don't worry you were. We chatted about
you and missed you and everyone along as you're.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yes, we were.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
No one could stop. That's all Jensen talked about. I
got to I got to sit next to Jensen in
the movie, and you know, all he kept saying is, man,
I wish Will was there.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
You go, I just.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Kids, we're asking where you were.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Believe that for a second.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
The popcorn person was asking.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Everyone, you're just lying. Pants are on a fire. What
are the chances that we get to go to their
collaborative tour coming up for the podcast? Do you think that,
zomb and descend it?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
God, we do.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
It's coming soon, though, it's like in July.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Well, we're gonna have to fit. Well, we'll have to
get invited anyway. Now it's the place to be because
we're legends in the making. That no, it's possible to
be together as one. So here's the synopsis, z and Addison.
But by the way, I'm the last person to pick
this up. I had no idea that all the characters
first name symbolize what they are. Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I didn't either. One of our fans actually.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Reach zombie and a Addison is an alien Willa and
they're all werewolves. And then I thought about the new
character Nova, who's a day walker, and the only thing
I come up with is it was for no vampire.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh and I don't.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Know if that's true or not, but that's how I
got it, So.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
I thought, I will. I thought maybe a Planet of
the Apes reference also all possible because she has kind
of that vibe as a day.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Washer she does, so that's possible too. I'm curious where
the origin of the name came from. Yeah, okay, so
this synopsis, Zed and Addison have just finished their freshman
year of college and are ready for a summer road trip.
I have to say I'm very happy they did not
go with just their first year at college. It would
have seemed too much like being back at Seabrook, so
I'm glad they didn't do that. They're ready for a

(21:23):
summer road trip, but when they unexpectedly discovered the warring
worlds of two new groups of monsters, their fun is
threatened forever and clear the way because Zombies four is
directed by the man behind it all, the same legend
who's been steering the ship since the very first movie,
a film he was thrown into last minute. By the way,
it's the d coom daddy of them all. I will
call him DCOM Daddy Paul Ho And not only are

(21:45):
all of these prior movies on his resume, but and
of course you can just mouth along with me as
I do the list. Luck of the Irish read it
and weep Cheetah Girls to One World, Camp Rock to
and a bevy a big TV shows we can add
to the list. And what's a DCOM podcast without a
hoe and interview? So that's right, we've already done it.
You can go check ours out right now, especially if
you don't want to be spoiled by anything. It's available
on the dedicated magical rewind feed. Seriously, give it a listen.

(22:08):
He's awesome. I can't wait to have him back our
dm Daddy forecast. Let's start wait to call it.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
We can't wait to see his face on zoom when
we call him DCOM Daddy. Is the DCM dady going
to dad, That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's the DCOM Daddy, we're gonna get shirts made, So
let's let's start with the names we know. For the cast.
Star and executive producer Milo Mannheim returns as zombie Zed.
He kills it every time. It's been said that he
and his co star were very involved behind the scenes
with this one, hoping to keep the legacy alive even
as they take a backseat. And man, did they do
it with a plumb? The question lies not only in

(22:42):
Milo's lap, but also Meg Donnelly's Meg returns as Addison,
the alien human hybrid cheerleader and girlfriend of Zed. Both
original stars in the movie were unknowns when first cast,
but now I feel like we'll be seeing way more
of them outside of the Disney universe, especially with Milo
just entering the world of theater with Little Shop of Horrors.
Also back in the mix, we have a Chandler Kinney
as will of the Werewolf, and Kylie Russell, who is

(23:04):
not pregnant this time, returns as Eliza, the brainiac zombie.
And that's it. That's it. That's right, folks. No Aliens,
no Wyat, no Bucky, no yogurt Coach, not even Rue
Paul as a UFO. But of course we do see shrimpy,
which makes no sense. So not all is lost, Serena,
did it bother you losing so many of the original characters.
I mean, we're left with what I think from now

(23:24):
on we're going to refer to as the core four.
Did it not seeing anybody else? Bug you?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I think it was. You know, it just set the
stage right from the start that this is not about
the rest of what we've seen so far, that this
is this is a new storyline. We're moving forward in
a big jump, hop, skip and escadatle away from what
we've already done. So it at first was kind of like, oh,
you know and some of the other Again, I didn't

(23:51):
like look into it or anything before I sat and
watched it, But we had already kind of known that
this was this, you know, or anticipate that this was
like a handing of the torch and all that kind
of stuff. So this was just like, oh, okay, we're
doing it, like right from the start, and one number
yes Trevor did yeah, he said, yeah, no, we are.

(24:11):
And then also I found out we knew no Bucky.
Then it was confirmed when I talked to Terry that
they were not in this next one as far. So
I was kind of going bracing myself and they said
that Addison was going to be the only alien that
was She's ready.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I was going to say, she's representing the alien definitely
in this.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah. So it was kind of like, oh, so I
was a little anticipating it, but I thought there would
be a little bit more within that first once it
started becoming obvious. It was a dancing in the beginning.
I thought we were going to get a little cameos
something there.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, nothing new, nothing. Well, that's the end of the
old generation, so let's get into the new generation now.
If you remember, Zombie's one was extremely rare because it
cast all newcomers. Nobody had any sort of significant Hollywood footprint,
not even on the channel. But that is not the
case with Malachi bar Carton, who plays Victor the Vampire.
He is the new flag bearer on the male side,

(25:04):
and he first burst onto the scene as Beast Diaz
in the Disney show Stuck in the Middle. He wasn't
even ten years old when he was cast. He then
moved on to play a Kolby Madden on another Disney
Channel show, The Villains of Valley View, and appeared un bunked,
just roll with It and both under wraps reboot movies.
So this kid is a Disney System star through and through.
He's now eighteen years old and has the weight of

(25:25):
the channel on his back. If you ask me, they
seem they are making this kid a star. Next up
our new female lead and Sabrina's favorite, Freya Sky as
day Walker, Nova Bright Where Malachi, Where Malachi is part
of the studio home team. Freya is as green as
they come. Her only two real Hollywood credits are as
voices into video games. But she as a native of England. Yes,

(25:50):
she hit her accent well, she is from England as
you're supposed to say it, and represented the UK in
the twenty twenty two Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Result she
was signed to Hollywood Records, contracted by Disney Publishing for
her songwriting skills, and set into a holding deal for
Disney TV, which is now paid off in a massive way.
The most shocking part, as I said at the beginning,

(26:11):
she's fifteen. That voice, that brightness on screen, she is
fifteen years old, and as we just said, can we
talk a little bit about our singing voice? Can it
be argue that this is the best voice we've ever
heard in a DCM could would she be on the
list of best voices.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
She'd definitely be up up towards the top.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, I think she was. Rarely notice how good someone's voices.
I'm like listening to the song, not the quality of
the voice. She's got a good voice.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, and she's for what I've seen on her Instagram
because I am absolutely following her now. She has a
single that's dropping soon. She showed a little bit of
music video. She's playing the piano, so she's very versatile
and she's going to be. Like I said, I really
just feel she's going to be an epic.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Okay, so artist, I am suggesting that we have a
new segment that'll take ten seconds on our new show.
We're going to call it a fray A check because
as of right now, at the time of this taping,
she has only two hundred and thirty nine thousand followers
on Instagram, and I have a feeling it's.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Because for the movie aired, she was more in the
one hundreds. Okay, So, so she's already jumped up quite
a bit.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
So we're gonna we're gonna start doing it.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I started following her. She had like one hundred thousand something.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay, so two hundred and thirty nine thousand followers on
instag Do you have your Instagram near you?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Check check right now. This is our first ever fraya check.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
We're at Freya check e. I love this. This is perfect.
Watch Lisa's going to do it before me, and you're
she's doing it.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I know you're doing She's at three already did She's
at three hundred and five thousand right now. So from
two hundred and thirty nine when mode.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Was on airplane mode.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Where we first check, she's at three hundred and five
thousand right now, we are going to continue to look.
That's Freya check number one. I'm guessing it's going to
jump by leaps and bounds.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Oh yeah, but Malachi has over a million.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Okay, she'll be there very quickly, so fast. Julian Lerner
is day walker Ray. Julian has a very cool, unique
look and this makes sense. One of his first jobs
was as young Pete Davidson on an episode of SNL.
He also appeared in the movie Yesterday, the Soprano spinoff
movie The Many Saints of Newark, and was one of
the stars of the Wonder Years reboot, but most importantly,
he was cast in the upcoming Bluey movie. And then

(28:25):
we have Sway Batia is Vera the Vampire. Sway has
a very cool IMDb page. She was a voice in
the Netflix animated series Karma's World, a star of the
Mighty Ducks Game Changers reboot, but most of our cable
focused audience will recognize her as Sophie Roy on the
highly acclaimed HBO show Succession. She is great. I hope
she stays on for all the upcoming movies. And then

(28:46):
mconan Knife is Vargas the Vampire. Again. I apologize if
I'm butchering any of these names. He also has a
very cool name and was a local Australian higher so
this was his first big mainstream role. The movie runs
wait for It, people, eighty eight minutes, very close to
the target, just too short, which we know is better
than too long. So once again, all hell Daddy d

(29:07):
com hohen he has done it yet again. This is
one of the few times in our life where too
short is better than too long. The movie you take
that however you want. The movie was written by the
familiar names of David Light and Joseph Rasso, the team
behind the original failed Pilot and Pass movies. No surprise
there since they'll be on board for life. But then
we have josh A. Kagan, a new name added to

(29:30):
the mix. He's not new to the family musical however.
He wrote band Slam, which is the one I brought
up when we were talking about Lemonade mouth Mouth the Duff,
the Kim Possible live action film which I'm pretending never happened.
Under wraps two another d com called upside Down Magic
and the letter Heavy edm DJ d com say that
three times again, EDMDJ dcom. We all liked Spin, which

(29:53):
was a great movie. He seems like a very impressive
name for the channel. So we're gonna get this guy
on and ask him why he did that to Kim Possible. Okay,
now we.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Need to talk to David and Joseph. That's who we
got to already. We got to get to everybody.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
We gotta talk to everybody because we gotta we got
to round out our zombies here, and then we need
cameos in Zombies five. Now Zombies five Will and Sabrina.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Which is well, they'll be the ones that told us
like what ended up happening, why they felt the pilot failed,
and how it became what should have been from the
start the movie.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
We're absolutely going to have to have them on because
we have so many questions. Okay, make sure you've got
enough blood fruit to go around, because it's time to
get into Zombies four, Donna the Vampires. Zombie four starts
the same way we kicked off every Zombies movie so far,
with an animated recap. Love it. The zombies, aliens, and

(30:46):
wo wolves are living in harmony, and our main characters
are at Mountain College where they heard a brand new
story about another moonstone crashing on Mount Rayburn, creating two
new monsters and two sanctioned off cities. These are the
day Walkers and the vampires. Now, Sabrina, I feel like
we all know about vampires. Did you know about day.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Walkers in just assuming that they're just not vampires?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
So you you never knew like Blade? Did you ever
watch Blade? Because Blade was a day walker It's what
they called them.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Day wo oh. I've seen the movie Blade so long ago,
decades and decades ago, but no, I wouldn't remember that.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
So he's a vampire who can handle the sunlight, which
is one of one of his major powers. He has
all the powers of a vampire with none of their weaknesses.
Oh wow, which is kind of what I thought they
were going for here, But it turns out no, they vampire,
any of that, none of that. Yeah, it's okay, we'll
get into that. This is where the fantasy that I.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Went, oh well, it's not gonna like that.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Started to do. The moonstone also created a crop called
blood fruit, which both species need to survive for some reason,
so they end up fighting over the resource and locked
themselves off from each other for years as enemies until now.
And then we're thrown into real life Mountain College in
the last day of freshman year. Zed talks to the
camera as an intro we're used to. At this point,
we find out that football didn't go as well as expected.

(32:06):
The coach, sadly not yogurt coach, has set him up
with an intensive football camp for the summer so he
can get better. So Zed won't be able to see
everyone at Seabrook, which is a bummer, but he gets it.
We then cut to Addison cheerleading has been a bit
of a battle as well. It appears the bigger pond
has made it tougher for her to stand out if
she wants to make cheer captain. Eventually, she needs to
attend a cheer camp all summer, which means she'll also

(32:28):
be away from her friends, and so we get our
first musical number, Legends of the making a song about
the sacrifices they're making this summer to get better at
their respective sports. We also get to see Zombie Eliza
for the first time. She's skipped grades and is now
also in college. She's loving it and of course excelling
in science. She is also no longer pregnant. She obviously
had a kid and looks exactly like she did before
she had a kid.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Well, at this point, her kid's almost like three years.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Kid's probably seventeen at this point. It is probably one
of the dancers behind her, because it's been a while
since we've seen them. But yes wherewolf Willa is also there,
having a blasted Mountain college and she can't wait to
come back next year. And now in Okay. First of all,
one thing I noticed, I thought the whole point of
the last movie was z was going to be the
first monster to get into college. And pave the way

(33:12):
for the rest. Right, but after his first year, if
you look in the background, they dressed everybody. There's tons
of werewolves, there's tons of zombies, there's tons of aliens.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Right.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Well, I think there was a mention in the last
one that other monsters would be able to go if
he went, so they kept okay in case it then
opened it up for other recruits. But you're right in
that sense. But I do think that they gave a
small warning that there would be other oh, that it.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Was possible, because like it it was like him getting
into it was going to open the door for other
opportunities for everyone else.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Okay, so they let in z and then three hundred
other monsters the same.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Apparently, Yeah, you know, but like that's how it goes,
right with college, Like they do their first round and
then so people go to that college, others don't.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Then the second round gets to go out on.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
The yahs, Like, yeah, they were on maybe they were
on the wait list. Maybe you know, they had to
they had to see how their grades were, how many off.
You know, there's college I went with it that didn't bother.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I was just curious, we're now in the quad we
get our first big dance number, and man, there are
lots and lots of extras here the budget's first real moment.
We also get a nice glimpse of the Shrimpy high
school mascot, which makes no sense now that they're in college,
but they're.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
And somewhere on on Instagram that they did. There's something
that happened. I was I didn't have my my volume on,
but they talk about Shrimpy.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
There's a story behind it. We'll have to find it
and bring it back.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
At some point. I couldn't figure it out. After I
tried to find that clip and couldn't figure it out.
It was an interview, they said, Paul hoan, Okay, here
we go. Fought to get Shrimpy there because he loves
Shrimpy and he's Shrimpy, said saying happy birthday to someone
during the set. The Shrimpy is like the mascot for
all of them, not just like fine.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
If Daddy dcom wants it, then I'm in.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
And I my one of my first thing of Sabrina
sees is the shrimp mascot. Paul, is that you why
is Shrimpy? And here's someone there's something specific going on
he says.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Apparently in the interview, he says, Shrimpy is a person.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Okay, so that would mean that Shrimpy can get into
college as a person. So it's not a mascot at
this point. It's Shrimpy a human being.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh wait a minute, is the next movie that we
think with it's going to be about Shrimpy's like failing.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
They're mad that he's identifying as a human.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Oh my god, that's what it is. They're coming to
get Shrimpy back. I think we've we've cracked it, people,
We've cracked it. I also love as this giant dance
number is going on in the quad, there's extras just
going to classes above them that aren't dancing that are
probably like, why is everybody dancing on the quad? Like
if you notice there's a second level where they're not
dancing at all, they're literally just walking to classes. Hundreds

(36:02):
of extras above them are just walking to different classes,
which I thought was such a good touch where it's
like not everybody's dancing. I thought that was great, Like
the school's going on as everybody else is still dancing.
I thought that was very cool. Oh my gosh, I
didn't got to school. Mid song, our core four revealed
that they'll be road tripping together, leaving college to their
respective camps, all of them going in Z's green VW bug.

(36:25):
They pull out of the parking lot and we enter
the world of the day Walkers and Hello of forty
million dollars. It is a beautiful tropical island and beach,
and we immediately see the day Walkers practicing their magic.
It's not a whole lot different than the effects we see,
to be honest, in like Harry Potter movies, they're kind
of that level.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
The group, wearing red and gold, shoots fireballs and perform
intense karate routines as practice, and a young blonde named
Nova is instructing the group on how to protect their
blood fruit from vampires. There was also a little girl
who walks up and says, why do we have to
stay here? We never see the little girl again, has
nothing to do with anything, no point in having her
there whatsoever, to be somebody's kid. Soon they will make

(37:02):
the pilgrimage to get the fruit, but Nova is distracted
by vivid dreams of a cute boy in a cloak,
only interrupted by her dad, the day Walker leader Commander Bright,
who had just fabulous blonde hair and would have been
the part that I wanted to play. He needs her
focused on the task at hand, because those vampires will
do anything for blood fruit, and one day she's set

(37:23):
to take over for him. They traveled to the big
day Walker command Center, which is mostly made up a
CGI but looks pretty good. And this is when I
realized that Paul Hoen used every single dollar that Disney
gave him. I think we have to put can we
can we officially put this above Descendants on a scale
of production value, But I guess we can't really say
that yet because we've only seen the first one. So

(37:43):
for all we know, the last Descendants movie is like
watching a Marvel movie. We don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
That's very true, that's that's actually true. But I do
think it's safe to say that they went into Descendants.
I don't remember what the budget was, but because it
was Kenny like and knowing like the production value and
what that was, I feel like there was probably a
lot more given in that first Descendance movie than what

(38:08):
was in the first Zombies.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Do you think after these movies are done and they
give Paul Hoan and Kenny Artaga, like they do everything
you think. Eventually, they're just gonna have them fight to
the death. So there's just gonna be one of them
left to see who actually is is the decom daddy
of them all. It's gonna be like a pay per
view fight to the death between Kenny Ortega and Paul Howan.
We'll have to see it be interesting.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, anyway, well that would.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Be We also hear meet Ray, a top soldier for
the day Walkers, very excited to be on the front
line for the Blood Fruit battle, which is I'm gonna
be saying an awful lot. He's a bit of a
kiss butt and very loyal to the commander. Then we're
over on the vampire side of the island, Shadyville, where
of course it's much darker but just as expensive looking,
and it's a real blade Runner kind of vibe. Looked great.

(38:55):
Two vampires, Vargas and Vera, are prepping for their blood
Fruit trip too. Then Victor, their leader's nephew, is late
and haphazardly lands nearby with flying upside down, which doesn't okay,
we'll get into the flying later, oh the flying. Anyway,

(39:15):
he lands nearby, he is a slacker with a lot
of charisma. He's happy to leave shady Vilsteins. He knows
there's a whole wide world out there, but Vera isn't
so sure. She's happy to be living the night life.
Oh she likes to boogie worth figuring out. Now are
we that was for you, Sabrita? Are we to assume
that day? So? Okay, so this is where I start
going to visit. So day walkers walk in the day

(39:36):
because they can't walk in the night. And vampires, like
in all a vampire folklore that's ever existed in the
history of the world, sleep during the day and can't
be harmed or and then they can be harmed or
killed by the son. That's what's right, right, that's where
we stand at this point.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yes, because the worlds are bright and dark.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Okay, so let's place here's where the rule is start. Okay, gotcha. Eventually,
their adult leader, the vampire Eldris, announces it's time to
start their trip. The harvest is upon us, and then
we're back with the Core four in Zed's green VW
set is driving, but he's on a headset phone with
his coach. The biggest headset you've ever seen in your life,
which I think all that stuff is very funny. He's

(40:18):
constantly helping him to visualize, learn plays, and think about
nothing but football. This seems counterproductive in my opinion. But
short and Addison isn't much better. She's focused on learning
cheers and balancing on a pyramid. But then the get
how do you read about balancing on a pyramid? Anyway?
But then the gang is stunned by a wave of
electricity that shakes the car and turns off Zed's z bracelet.
He begins to zombie out in the car swerves in

(40:39):
every direction. As Zed goes in and out of being
a monster, he pulls the steering wheel right out of
the car, crashing the car and flipping it into the forest.
More very big, expensive stunts. It looked great. The car
is now although I will say why they only had
the horn go off once when it's slammed on, Why
it didn't go eh boom boom boom boom boom. I
don't understand. They only have to do it. The car's

(41:00):
now upside down and the group is safe. But Willa,
the werewolf senses something bad nearby. The three others agree
to follow her to see what's up. Now, you'd assume
they'd walk together, but no, Addison is on her own.
When she finds a portal, it transports her from bright
Beach to dark Knight with just one step, another kind
of cool looking visual effect.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
And did you Yeah? I was just like what, mainly
because of how they like just first of all, they
all this not okay to teach kids, like all right,
you guys, get lost, everyone break up on your own.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yes, there's a buddy system for a reason.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
There buddy system, and Willa and Eliza are doing just that.
They went together. Why are we breaking up so that
already I'm like getting annoyed? Unsafe? Unsafe? My boyfriend ever
said all right, yeah, let's we just got stranded. I'm
gonna go this way, You're gonna go this way, And
I'm like, you can keep going because we're broken up. Done,
you're believing me.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Stay together people, okay?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
But then they just walk like they're just walking and
go through it. I don't know, I guess I'm not.
This isn't my world to know what much about portals,
But to me, there shouldn't there.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Have been like a no, that's how a portal works
you just.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Walk and then all of a sudden you've gone through
a portal.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
This isn't This isn't a portal so much is what
it's supposed to be as a veil. It's essentially a
big long line. It's a shimmering veil. Again, this is
my fantasy nerd brain. It's a shimmering veil between light
and dark that you can just cross over. First of all,
I understand why they have it where you can just
cross over it with no effects. But this is where
the magic started.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
To I mean, there's like you like, you know, like
the things are you have to like touch like a
mirror and.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Like, yeah, my arm. But that's a portal. That's a portal.
This is a veil.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
This is a veil.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
This is a veil. It's a shimmering veil. That that
that that's like the length of the thing. Yeah, I
know it's it's a but yes. Uh. She discovers Shadyville
in the distance, which seems like a pretty shady place
to be. She wonders if someone in that town can
tell her what's going on. That was my shady joke.
By the way, Zed is also just freely walking by

(43:10):
himself after almost dying in a car crash, and the
portal he stumbles right into I'm gonna say veil he
walks across, brings him to the day Walker's camp. Zed,
who looks very out of place, approaches the day Walkers
on their way to the orchard, but is welcomed by
a Nova flipkick. She does. She hammers him. She thinks
he's a vampire, but Zed explains he's actually a zombie.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Sed always gets his ass kicked.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
He does, he does, and he's like the strongest one.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I love it by girls.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Milo, by the way, is so funny in this movie.
He wasn't this funny in the other three. I don't
think because he was so funny in the other three,
But I thought he was really really funny in this movie. Great,
he's got a big future in comedy. Ray still wants
to attack Zed, but Nova calls him off. Commander Bright
is also concerned with the intruder, but Nova doesn't think
he's a vampire. He doesn't have fangs and is too clueless. Instead,
they decide to use him as a recruit for the harvest.

(43:56):
Now he's Nova's responsibility because what just like that? None
of that again, I know they've got to get him
in there, but it's like, hey, who's this stranger, I'm
a zombie. Okay, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Come on, this is the part. This and then there's
just one other scene that I know you're gonna attack
really hard, and I'm okay with it because it was
my least favorite as well. But this right here, this
section is when I struggled. And I told Tara because
I you know, when we were sitting her and I
were actually in the premiere together, and I went, oh,
this was my This is the part that I just get.

(44:29):
And then she goes, really I did. They didn't bother
me at all.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
I'm like, all right, I don't get. It's just like, hey,
all right, you're on our teape.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
First of all, the veil or the whale or whatever
you have to go through, and then you go through it,
and then it's like, hey, I swear I'm not not
an intruder. Oh yeah, okay, he's your problem now.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Yeah, you're a part of the team. Come on, you're
with me, strange guy.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
They almost lost me here, I almost lost.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
There was a couple of My strength is strong, but
there's a couple of things that really needed rewrites like.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
It was just like too this part was too quick
for me.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
He really needed rewrites for this movie, in my opinion,
a couple things, but anyway, we are now back on
the dark side of the island. The vampires have started
their trek to the orchard too, just as Addison stumbles
out of the group. She's happy to see any form
of life, but they immediately assume she's a day walker
and attacker with this very cool thunder windstorm kind of thing.
Still wasn't entirely sure what their power was or how
that has anything to do with vampires. It elevates her

(45:25):
up into the sky until Victor decides to step in
and save her. She lands fifty feet away and assures
them she's just a cheerleader. The elder just wants to
throw into the dungeon, but Victor continues to protect her
and convinces his aunt to let her help pick fruit,
so again, she's just part of the team. Addison notices
a sketch Victor's holding of a beautiful blonde girl. He
says it's just a girl he's been imagining in his dreams.

(45:46):
Back on the bright day Walker beach, Zeden's new day
Walker friends lead us in a new song, the Place
to Be and introduction for our new monsters. We learn
the day Walkers get their power from the light Stone,
a solar flare of sorts, and the Vampires get their
power from a dark stone, which I guess you could
have guessed. These two groups definitely do not like each
other and there's little hope for future friendship. This was

(46:06):
actually the first single from the movie, released back in May.
So what do we think of this routine and the
movie and the song and everything. Keep in mind it
did involve some water dancing, which always seems like a plus.
Did you did you like this? Was this a bop?
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (46:20):
I do like this song?

Speaker 3 (46:21):
I do?

Speaker 2 (46:24):
I feel like when it comes to introducing, like you said,
the new style, the new the new monsters, it's not
the best that we've seen within the previous other movies, right,
and then it bothered me. I'm all for some water dancing.
I love it. It's always great to the streets you have,
you have to stay wet after you get dry, you

(46:45):
don't just instantly dry. And a lot of them were
like and then hit hit to another scene, hit to
another shot, Hit back to them, and they're fully dry,
and continued.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Maybe that's one of their mythical vampire powers. Maybe instantly dry.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
The only thing that kind of got me a little
bit of like, no, I'm good to be wet, but
you got it. You don't just instantly dry.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
No one does, I am gonna say, and this is
it's just true. I went I watched the entire film,
and then I went back and watched all the music
and the dance numbers. Again. I do not remember a
single song, not a single one. I do not remember
a single song. No really. We also get a moment
in the song where both Victor and Nova have emotional solos,

(47:27):
looking for someone out there that understands that they want
more from their lives, and obviously, of course they're talking
about each other. Now. The day Walkers are the first
to land at the orchard, followed closely behind by the vampires,
and this is where things start to get real confusing.

(47:48):
The orchard's bright and sunny, and though it's startling at first,
we find out the sun doesn't actually hurt vampires at all.
They're like, oh, it's like a warm blanket. What what? What?
So what?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
I went, Oh, gonna lose.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Well, what, they're vampires.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
I know that that.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah, I get you have to make PG kind of vampires.
They did it in what was that other awful vampire movies,
the Twilight movies where it's like we're vegetarians. What so
the the whole it's this to me was just it
was like, what then, why are you always in the
dark and they're always in the light. If it doesn't

(48:32):
do anything.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Why do they live that way? Then? If it's not
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Right, and why why maybe even have it just out
a line where where when the vampires walk out, it
could even be like they're not gonna go out, it's
gonna kill us. It's gonna kill us. And then a
doesen't and you find out they've been lied to forever
or something where yeah, I mean there's nothing there.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Just the orchard could have been kind of like a
half dark that's they're comfortable where they're not like y,
you know, but they're the orchard is ship and you know, but.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
So why they should have been because the roots are
different later, so why not have one dark side of
the orchard and one light side of the orchard. Something happened,
but this made no sense. You need some rules. Superman
can't just be all powerful. He has to have Kryptonite,
he has to have you know, magic.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Bound boundaries to everything.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
You have to have something that you know, Z the
Z bands him. Oh my god, there are weaknesses to
all this. That's the point. And so this was just hey,
this is warm, like wait what So yeah, I don't know,
it doesn't I was gone, it's hard to.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I think it's hard to because it's not just like
you know, you you love that world in those different
kinds of movies. That's not something.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
But still like vampires are vampires there?

Speaker 2 (49:52):
That isn't that is a worldwide thank you rule for vampires.
You don't have to be in the world to like
know that. So yeah, and I do. I think if
they thought they just needed to just there's a there
was a way to make it work.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Then how are they different than day Walkers other than
the fact that they like it dark.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
I don't know. They do this swirly thing and they went, yeah,
the fireirly thing absolutely did.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Yeah, this is where it was so convoluted with the
magical system and what what are they doing? But either way,
this is when both groups running to each other, forcing
the day walkers to sprint to the Orchard Gate, where
they all realize they're locked out. So after all that
setup about how much they hate each other, they just
stand there, shoulders shoulder, just stand. There was this weird

(50:39):
to you. They're just like, hey, it's up, Hey, how
you doing. Can't what's what's going on? Can't stand well?

Speaker 2 (50:45):
And then as they're walking down, like, I don't know,
it's just the fact that Addison and z didn't like
instant I mean, you look so different than everyone else,
Like like for my husband, I could spot Jordan's yeah,
sea of two hundred people, like he's right there, you know,
same with me with him. So it's like it's weird

(51:05):
that they were like it took him so long to
be like, oh hey, hey we did.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Three movies together already. Yes, So this was just it
was just strange, you're just standing around. The big headline here, though,
is that Nova sees Victor for the first time, and
they both realize this is the person of their dreams
and also Zad Allison or reunited. But Addison and the
Eldris and Commander Bright have a war of words and

(51:31):
just before an all out war breaks which it doesn't
in any way between the two gangs which are just
standing around our core. Four step up to point out
a bigger problem at hand. No one can get through
this gate without what appears to be three keys. Okay,
so had none of these people. So here's what I
was trying to figure out. They and they did explain
this right. There was blood fruit, which both societies monsters

(51:55):
need to survive, that was growing at their respectives town
and then that started to die, so they had to
come to the orchard to harvest. Yes, so this isn't
a yearly thing where they harvest the fruit.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
No, it's they're going because all of their their orchards
that they have are dyed, that are that they normally
harvest from are dying. Okay, and they know, but they
know that locked away is this you.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Know, But they didn't know it was locked away because
they all showed up and went why is it locked?

Speaker 2 (52:27):
But they tell us at the very beginning of the
movie that it's.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Locked, that it was, but they didn't know it was
locked because they're like, well, there's we need keys, and
the ones like I'm gonna fly over it. And then
she throws a rock and oh there's a force field.
How do they not know any of this before they
showed up?

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Oh okay, okay, so no, in the in the little
characterture thing, the lock that they have or is that
it's the the bars that were at the tunnel.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Right, that's what That's what that's what was locked. So
they don't know that the orchard is locked up. They
get there, we get three keys.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
How to this isn't any blocked up? I guess not.
I guess not. They knew that there was gates that
were blocking up at the like cave area.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Right, But how do they not know when they get
there that there's these the series of keys and there's
a force field on their orchard?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Yeah? I guess Their answer, apparently was built by both
of them, was yeah, but it seemed like that that
blocking of it or whatever like that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
That's a good point exactly.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
That's a really good This is where.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
The magical systems come in and stuff has to make sense. Yeah, okay,
and maybe we're gonna get like, oh, we missed something, maybe,
but I don't think we did because I went back
and looked again, and they just don't know any other Okay, right, okay,
and so no exactly okay, okay, anyway, no one could

(53:52):
get through this gate that no one knew about, apparently
without even though their society has built it with without
these three keys. So Addison has proposal the two groups
will work together to find the keys while staying at
a perfectly placed nearby camp. And why should these two
warring factors do this well, because our core for are
living proof that all monsters can work together both sides,

(54:12):
except very quickly, after years of enmity, all of a sudden,
there they're okay with this, and that puts sketchy.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
It's sketchy. You could tell, like, all right, yeah, we'll
go with this, like.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Right, but they out they're lifelong enemies that are like,
we should send our kids to camp. And Nova and
Victor are put in charge of the experiment. Okay, But
even though they put their differences aside, Nova's commander Dad
sidebars with her and demand she take all the fruit
in the end, no matter what happens, even if it
means destroying every vampire. She seems torn, but Nova and
company man Ray give their word that's what they're gonna do.

(54:47):
The crews eventually arrive at camp Rayburn, with trash talk
already at an all time high. Also, we learn that
the day walkers have no problem with night, so they're
just walkers. Just walker. There's no there's no like. I
just I just need to know the rules. I get

(55:07):
the singing and the dancing and the love story. But
give me some rules that make some semblance of sense,
because I don't get what it is, and that maybe
it's me. Maybe I'm stupid and I just don't get
what it is. But you've got vampires that can walk
in the day and day walkers that can walk in
the night. They both eat the same fruit. None of
them drink blood, some of them have fire, others fly

(55:30):
while upside down and backwards. What is happening? I just
need to know what's happening to get it.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
I'm sitting over there going, oh my god, this little couple.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Is I know, and I just need what's happening. That's it,
that's all.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
About all or I just do the song. All I
want is for them to get together and continue this
massive franchise.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I just need some rules. Please just send the script
to somebody who's there.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Must Zombie five. That's the true for me.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Okay, I just need some rules, That's all I need,
and just send it. You write the script the way
you want to write the script, this beautiful script that's
singing and lovely and all that and forty million dollars,
and then send it to somebody who's read a fantasy novel.
That's all you need is just and they're gonna I'm
gonna add four lines that are gonna make everything make
sense because this it was just like what you needed
at the time. Okay, Hey, let's fly upside down? Why? Okay?

(56:28):
And again I didn't dislike the movie, that's the fun part.
I just wish I had the rules anyway. Victor and
Nova are still exchanging glances while Zeda Addison have become
the head counselors at this camp. They know what it's
like to bring people together, so it's a natural position
for them to take everyone. Everyone notices both vampire and
DayWalker symbols on the cabins, giving the location some confusing history,

(56:48):
but not nearly as confusing as this joke. While they
moved in, can we please play the clip?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
This place probably used to be a day Walker camp
and then vampires stole it and ruined it.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Just like Commander Bright says, you.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Do with everything. You know what the elder says about
day walkers? Will you not eat soap to have shiny insides?

Speaker 1 (57:11):
They are naturally shiny? I don't understand. D never comes
back up?

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah we got it, Yes, yes, yes, we could hear it.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Never will just does it like it? Well?

Speaker 4 (57:27):
It never?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
It never comes back up. It's never explained. It's not
even a joke.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
It's just needs a fun me, you know what, the
will win things like that happen in this fora Do
you know what I did? I went with it because
I'm like, I don't know these kinds of things. Is
there something about the day Walkers with soap? I literally
just was like, oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Knows, Hey, I hear that you can't hear the darkness.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Let me ask whill about that soap?

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Well?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Anyway, despite the FI is it liquid? Is it a bar?
Who knows? Who knows? Are they drinking palm olive? What's happening? Anyway?
Despite the failed gag that made no sense, the day
Walkers and vampires find their bunks, the vampires sleeping coffins,
by the way, which also makes no sense because the
sun doesn't bother men in any way, shape or form
in this movie, but whatever. Eliza also sets up a
workstation to find out what's up with the wavelength that

(58:15):
made them crash their car. Outside, Zed Addison sit by
a camp fire to catch up. They've both been so
busy during the school year and with plans for the summer,
it's tough to work on their relationship and I've got
to just love the two of them together. But this
camp journey will be a nice moment for them. After all.
They also know that Victor and Nova's forbidden attraction reminds
them of a certain couple. They know. It was very

(58:35):
nice to see the mirroring. And here we get some
much needed updates on the cast members not paid to
return for part four. This is what I was waiting for.
They explained a little bit about it. Bucky has returned
from space, Bonzo and Breeze started their first summer jobs,
and where Wolf Winter is teaching meditation. Would love an
update on the coach's yogurt shop, but we assume he's
doing well. But that'll do.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Elsewhere at the campsite, Victor and Nova had realized their
visions were red. They have a Romeo and Juliet Balcony
moment singing a very quick duet and this really shows
off frays Guy's voice. Again, this was not to me.
I get what they were doing and I love the
kind of bonding them together. This did not have the
gravitas of Milo and Meg in the cafeteria room. It

(59:23):
just yes, that was so much more day when they're
and you're.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Right, this was to me a lot more of the
like instantly super dramatic, right the is when you saw
the difference of the light and the airy and the Yes,
there's drama with it, but they're just like this like
magnetic force that just can't ever ever go away, and
I hope it continues for the rest of our lives.

(59:51):
And the other one was like so deep, they were
so deep.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
That there was a light to it that that I miss.
It just didn't have the same feel to me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
But I wonder if it felt like it had to,
because again, like just the two actors in general just
are they're younger. They are just such a younger energy
than what Addison and Zed were in the first one.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
No, that's true, that's one hundred percent trure that might
make you know when you're younger. Everything is life and death.
It's supposed to be life and death for their people.
But that's what I mean about not being as lighthearted
and tongue in cheek as the first one. You needed
some buddy, You needed something like that to jump in.
They tried with things like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Feels so good when he knows that the will Will said,
we needed some Bucky wed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
We needed some Bucky. Yeah, everyone's asking me if I've
seen Twilight. I did, and then quickly scraped out my eyes.
The next morning, the vampires and day Walker's continue their
very fragile relationship, with Victor and Nova leading the way

(01:00:55):
to find these keys. This leads to our next song,
Don't Mess with Us, a back and forth between the
two groups, threatening each other with Ray and vera battle rapping.
At one point, the union is truly a ticking time bomb.
This was This was a good song. I again, I
don't remember much about I remember liking it, but I don't.
I can't even put the song in my head as
I'm sitting here talking about it. It's kind of a

(01:01:16):
step up adjacent routine, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yeah? I do, And it reminded a couple of the things,
and when I get to Sabrina season, I know you
don't want to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Talk about the movie, but I have to because it's
Paul there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
This was the second thing that I went, oh, this
is a little bit like our our Cheetah Girls three
there we have like a battle type.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Of Okay, yeah, don't tell me too much, don't I'm
not gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
I won't tell you too much, but it is. I
do know firsthand that Paul knows how to do these,
so it's it was good to see the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Clash of the two of them together. I mean, that's
that's the Sharks and the Jets. I mean, that's been
in musicals forever, so it's great. It's great.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
The song also marks the first time Victor and Nova
admit that they've been seeing vision of each other. And
during all the dance fighting, they solved the first puzzle
and get the first key they can work together. After all,
one key installed into the wall, two more to go.
That night, the vampires and day Walkers celebrate together. We
also get one huge plot point that you can that
you can either accept or not. Vampires don't drink blood,

(01:02:17):
they just use the blood fruit, so they don't drink blood,
they can walk outside, the sun doesn't affect them. They
have the power of wind, and they can fly. None
of this is vampiresh none of it. Yeah, the flying
kind of if you go back to Dracula being able

(01:02:39):
to turn himself into a bat. But other than that
and that, the stupid Twilight movies were for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Yeah, they move quickly and.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
He glittered in the sunlight, was like, what the what is?

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
And in the new interview with the Vampire series they
somewhat fly.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Okay, all right, so maybe some vampire. But it's like
they just made it all up anyway. If they don't
call them vampires.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
Make up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
I just called them a different kind of months. Yeah,
make them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
DayWalker and whatever night walker, that's all you gotta do.
And they live in day and night. Then you can
make up your own rules. Don't. If you call something
a car, it's then not a submarine, it's a car.
It's like, you've got it. You can bend the rules.
You can't just make them up anyway, right, Yeah. Sorry,
this is the nerd in me that just hates this stuff.

(01:03:32):
I hate it and I like the movie. It's just Oh,
the nerd in me is excuse me, but the vampire
is not allowed to. Yeah, that's me right now, and
I have no problem with it. Also, as the group's
co mingle, we get a clink of mugs from Zeded
and Addison, and I think we can assume that this
scene is the way they told you about Sabrina where
they felt like grandparents.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Yes, that's the the when they clink those little mugs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Yeah, okay, I love that. With the campers in bed,
the Core for regroup over Schmores, which I love my
life perfectly, saying in a funny, weird way Schmores. The
group wonders if there's more to life than just being
a football star and a cheerleader Captain, what about being
around all those you love? But Zed and Addison still
see their individual goals as more important. But then out

(01:04:14):
of nowhere, that wavelength thing hits again, now even stronger,
and each of the core four now feel the rage,
all barely able to keep their monsters at day. It passes,
but Zed is the one most affected. They realize this
will hurt their family and friends back home if it
gets more powerful, so it can also affect Seabrook. They
got to figure this out. Meanwhile, Victor and Nova have
a small rendezvous and suspicious Ray Ray catches a glimpse

(01:04:36):
of the meeting. The two arrival leaders visit a cave
filled with old Vampire and day Walker symbols, proving that
at one time they did in fact work together. Didn't
they also figure this out at the camp that was
the Yes Okay? This leads to some vulnerable talk about
wanting to be more than just leaders for their family's rivalry,
and the full length song of what we heard a

(01:04:57):
little earlier, Dream Come True. It's all about their me
attraction and how they feel connected despite their cultural differences.
It is a soft spoken, building ballad that peaks with
the two floating at full speed through the sky upside down,
a stunt that probably matched the entire budget of the
first Cheater Girls movie. So what did you think about

(01:05:18):
the song and the scene? Did the flying bother you
all the kind of it? Did?

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I didn't. This is the scene that I went and
I get it. I mean, they had the budget to
do it. I'm sure it was very cool to film,
sure so different. Not very many channel movies have we
seen this in, But I didn't really actually love it
that much. Kind I liked this song.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
I thought the song could have been cut shorter, and
this scene could have not gone for as long as
it did.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
It was kind of like I'm ready, you know again,
I'm ready to see when is Ze gonna drop to
a knee and give me a proposal for Addison's exactly?

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
Oh man, Zombies five Now they're on their honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
I've already put it in the atmosphere when I interviewed them,
just because I know they're executive producers and that they
can now make that happen for me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Can you imagine that work on Zombie part Alien Baby?
That would be the coolest.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Part to play. I know now we're talking really getting
creative and being able to make your own rules because
who knows?

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Yes, right, thank you? Okay. As the song comes to
an end, they stumble onto the second puzzle and it's
quickly solved, and thus the second key was built on love.
They bring the discovery back to the camp and inserted
it into the wall, surrounded by everybody. No, it's a
happy moment at first, it triggers an earthquake as a
ball rises from underground. The statue says only one team
can win, making the group think that either of the date.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
So did they.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Okay, did the the day walkers and vampires built this
lock together to hide the orchard from their own future generations?
But built this elaborate thing to where can they win

(01:07:03):
if they just put it? Was so needlessly confusing to me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Yeah, I assume trouble started brewing, right like within two
groups of people that are in there're supposed to be
a unit, but they're obviously different, right different, Trouble started brewing.
They s elders basically were like, we need to just
take a minute, give some space.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
We're going to create this thing so that they need.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
They're going to have to come together to enjoy this
and to be able to enjoy the fruits the labor
of all of our ancestors.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Then you make it easy where you hide the orchard.
That's the point. I They have to work find the
orchard like that it's not hidden with yes something, but
instead of magical locks and a ball, you've got to
push one side or the other to work together. I
get why not just have to work together to even
find the mythical orchard because everything's I mean, it's like

(01:07:58):
you know where it is, but it's locked and there's
a vailue.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Where where would it be?

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
It would be exactly the same way with rules these
are god. They could sing a song about it, what
rhymes with we can't find the orchard? Okay, but that's
anyway they bring it. They had started back in the wall, okay,
so only one team can win. The ball rises rounderground
the stat she says only one team can win, making
the group think that either the day Walkers or the
vampires have to push the ball to one side by

(01:08:27):
themselves and they're always meant to fight it out. As
the group gets in a position to fight over the ball,
the pulse hits again, pushing z into full zombie mode.
It quickly passes, but he's unable to rebound. Everyone realizes
that they've taken this too far, and they head back
to the camp. Elizah checks her data and notices the
pulse has gotten strong enough to eventually turn that into
a zombie forever. She also thinks she knows where it's

(01:08:49):
coming from underground, and so Zeed is forced to go
subterranean to investigate, leaving us to his big solo number,
which is a rap song called Kerosene. It's his version
of Eminem's Lose Yourself all about how to you know
he has to step up even if he dies as
a result. What did you think of this song?

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
I didn't hate it. It wasn't one of my favorites.
I mean, I don't know how much I love like
the super rappie type songs within this genre of movies
that were watching, but it was okay. I didn't it
wasn't one of my favorites. I kind of just breezed
through it. What did you think?

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Yeah, I breaking right into a rap song sometimes for me,
really worked this one. It wasn't bad. He can obviously
rap right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
We've seen him do it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
We've seen him do it before, and I guess I
like occasionally switching up the vibe of the song. But
it felt a little out of place to me this one.
It just it's going kind of from ballads to this
straight up, kind of heavy rap song. Felt a little
jarring to me. But he did it well, So yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
Did have a fun inside baseball thing from the premiere.
I don't know if you noticed, Sabrina. There's a line
in the song where he says like something something bruh,
like he he like says it very funny. In the
middle of his rap, the entire cast wrapped it. Did
you hear that part or no?

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
I do remember them rapping, but it was like I
didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Wait, at the premiere, people stopped.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
There was a couple of times where they came in
and like they were.

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
The big one. The one I noticed the most was
during the rap. He kind of jokingly like you could
tell it was probably a joke with it in the
cast the way he says, like something bruh. They all
yelled it like like Rocky horror.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Oh that's cool. Oh that's cool, man. I miss so much.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Yeah. Anyway, it was one of the most fun premiere where.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
You stopped where you stopped. It did not it was
terrible and you did not have a good time. That's
what I want to continue to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
So funny.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I know Danielle and Jensen said the same thing. I
just missed it. Anyway. Zeedrapel's underground but eventually falls, causing
the entire ground to give way, taking Willa and Eliza
with him, and now Zed is stuck under a huge boulder.
The camp hears them screaming and runs to help to
save them. Eliza zombies out, which is a rare occurrence
in the movies, and Willa goes in a beast mode
to move the rock he's freed, but they also notice

(01:11:11):
a broken tower on top of the blood fruit roots
that the real cause of the pulses. Apparently this tower.
The roots were screaming for help and the towers working
as an antenna for their cries, so they have to
free the roots. So hey, nothing like adding another weird
layer of weirdness to the weirdness. Zed starts rapping again,

(01:11:31):
but he can't move the tower. It's just too much,
even with Willa and Eliza's help. But that's when the
entire camp arrives to join in on the kerosene hook
and push and pull. Together. They eventually move the tower
and save the roots as one unit, saving monster kind
once again. But there's still that huge ball statue that
says one Team. I don't want to say ball statue
anymore than I have been, says one Team, And they're

(01:11:54):
still worrying about that. Vampires and day walkers are back
to bickering about who it's referring to. When Addison takes control,
she explains the histories of zombies and humans in Seabrook.
She says real change can happen if you find strength
in people's differences. She wants them to stand together and
fight for their futures, and like a half alien coach Lombardi,
she convinces them to be one team, but now alone

(01:12:15):
dey Walker. Ray reminds Nova of their promise to her dad.
They're supposed to take all the blood fruit, but he
can't believe she's been working with a vampire but who's
just them but with air powers. But Nova stands strong.
She's gonna work with Victor and his team, even if
Ray and her dad doesn't like it. But this leads
to another song, My Own Way, which was a stellar
vocal performance from Nova. It really was. It's all about

(01:12:36):
the internal conflicts between her promise to her dad and
her heart. She doesn't want to let her people down,
but she needs to find her own way. And remember,
as you're listening to her songs, she's fifteen years old. Crazy.
The next morning, they're back at the third puzzle ball,
working together to move it. It eventually cracks in half,
exposing the final key, but it's encased in amber. The
day walkers and vampires use their superpowers to melt it down,

(01:12:59):
and now the gate can be opened. It's time to harvest.
The orchard is beautiful, surrounded by a waterfall and endless greenery,
covered with blood fruit, which looks just like apples with
melted cheese on top. There is definitely enough for them
to share. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
There's plenty to go around. But that's when Commander Bright arrives.
He was tipped off by ray that little The Commander

(01:13:19):
can't believe his daughter was going to disobey him and
let the vampires get all the blood fruit. This obviously
a fends victor since it means his new sweetheart has
been lying to him, and that's exactly when the Eldress arrives,
also via snitch to her too, so those two people
can go and rotten hell for all I care. Snitches
wind up in ditches. As a result of all this
supposed backstabbing, Commander Bright throws a fireball at the vampires,

(01:13:42):
but it's deterred at the last second by the Eldress,
leading the explosion right to the crops ough, so when
it lands, it burns down half of the orchard, exposing
some very mediocrecy gi it was the only part that
actually looked kind of cheesy and sending out another pulse,
knocking Z to the ground. This means war camps over,
so both sides leave to prepare for battle. Why not?

(01:14:06):
Why not fight? Why not just fight right there? Do
they really need to freshen up?

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Especially because when they do come back nothing, they don't
bring anything. There's no leg I mean, there's no.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Let's go get our weapons, Let's go get our No,
that's I'm gonna kick your ass in like two days
from now because I need some sleep and my stomach
isn't feeling Yeah, this is my foot's kind of hurting.
Just fight, It didn't make any sense. Commander Bright is

(01:14:43):
very disappointed in his daughter, and Ray swears he didn't
know his tattle tales would lead to this. Bud, of
course you did with the camp splip back into sides
and a battle on the horizon because they didn't just
fight Nova in Victor's relationship is on the rocks. The
Core four know what they have to do. They gotta
do something, so they returned to the suffering roots. Zed
is on his last leg and realizing he's been focusing

(01:15:05):
on the wrong stuff. Who cares if he becomes to
starting QB. He needs to be around his friends and family.
Nova and Victor show up concerned about Zed and they
get to talk out their problems. Novah says she's her
own person and being with him as made her realize
she needs to go her own way. She knows they
have to work together and be together. They hold hands
and notice the dying roots are from both the Vampire

(01:15:25):
and day Walker orchards, which okay. And on top of that,
the tower is a place where the light and dark
stones can be placed. And I don't know why they
didn't notice that the first time they saw the tower,
because they were there and there was a big tower.
I don't get it. The duo realizes their moonstones can

(01:15:45):
work together to feed all the orchard. The problem is
they need to steal the most protected things in their
villages and bring them back quickly. It's impossible, but nothing
is impossible when you have a song. So we get possible,
which is a literal torch path track. We know this
because those are the exact words and the lyrics. It's
Zeda Addison giving the Zombies franchise over to Victor and

(01:16:06):
Nova encouraging them to try to get the stones because
anything is possible. As a result, Victor and Nova successfully
round up their troops. Is one saying, let's rep for
the next gen. I mean, they're really hitting the nail
on the head right. Then the campers all work together
to gather up the remaining blood fruit before any possible
war very convoluted. As the song continues, Commander Bright's troops

(01:16:27):
and the vampires leave their villages, giving our main characters
the chances to steal the stones. There's some cool fighting
scenes here with some of the guards, but it was
also really easy for Victor and Nova to take the stones.
This thing that was supposed to be impossible turned out
to be really simple.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Yeah. Well but in both sides remembered though there it
doesn't seem as though there's anyone else around in each
of these Like what are we calling them villages or whatever?
There's no, there's not a real because I thought the
same thing. I was like, that was crazy. There's there's
two guards. This is the most treasured thing that they own, right,

(01:17:04):
But then at the same time, there wasn't really anyone
outside the day walkers, and they haven't ever seen each
other like will Nova and and Victor have never seen
each other. This isn't like they are ever like worried
or not not worried. But there's not like these like.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Threats to them. Yeah, so I feel like that why
would stones be impossible to the point where they have
to write a song about it?

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
Well, because it's like how could they ever, I mean
for them for Nova to ever think of even moving
that is it's the same way as the werewolves when
we had the were Wolve's moonstone.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
You don't like, you know, well, I guess that was different.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
They had to find it, but I don't know. It
just is like that's like crazy, but it's a crazy
thing to think of, Like, don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Then don't call the song impossible. It's not. It's not
impossible to do.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
They share it highly likely, No.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
They just yeah, they shouldn't do it. It's like we
can't take it. It's not Wow, it's impossible. It's not impossible.
It's actually super easy. So come up with a different
name for this song.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
All right, now, okay, we've gotten you into the dark side.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
Thank god, the dark side. The light doesn't hurt me
with stones in hand now, which again is super easy
to do. Vera tries to stop Victor, but he implores
her to question the things that don't make sense. It
changes her mind and she decides to cover for him
as he runs away. And now, just as Commander Bright
and the Elders arrive at the orchard, they realize all
the blood fruit is gone, and they command their troops
to find it. Victor and Nova do make the impossible

(01:18:32):
possible and get the stones back to the camp cave,
but are met by their disappointed aunt and dad. But
now instead of falling in line, Ray decides to step
up and do a weird bird impression while shooting fireballs.
This gives Victor and Nova a chance to climb the
tower with their stones. Then, while the duo fight off
attacks of their angry Boomer leaders, Zeed and Addison lend
a helping hand to hold up the tower as it

(01:18:53):
teeters on falling. But it's too much. Forsett. He's already
weak and we'll need to fully zombie out to make
a difference, even if it makes him a zombie forever.
He tells Addison he loves her he always has, then
removes his z band. Now a monster, he's able to
balance the tower just in time. Addison tries to reclip
the Z band to his arm, but it says failed.
They sing the well known song Someday, which is still

(01:19:15):
the best song I think of the entire franchise, originally
from Zombies one, forcing Addison to cry. The kids finally
place the stones on the tower, causing an explosion that
rocks everyone. Or I could say that rocks everyone. That's
probably the better way to say it. Don't edit that out.
That just sounded bad, and I want to keep it
exactly like that. We get some more of that sweet
Disney effects budget with a huge thunderstorm as the now

(01:19:38):
connected stone shoot electricity back and forth, working as one,
and then it begins to rain and everyone is ecstatic.
The water has healed z and turned Commander Bright and
the elders into happy people. Victor and Nova race to
see the crops. The rain has caused all the new
Blood fruit to bloom, and not just in the orchard,
but all throughout the island. Was it ever mentioned that

(01:19:59):
they needed rain.

Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
It's a one line ad and it's not in it,
And all you had to do is say we have
had crops in one hundred and fifty years because it
hasn't rained. It's the easiest line.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Ever ever, and they're now just like, oh my god, rain,
were we trying to find rain? Okay, cause again it's
just it gets convoluted. It's like there was never mentioned
rain ever.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Uh yeah, but maybe this may I mean, we're not
there yet, but maybe the water aspect is sort of
it starts to be a part of what we have
to look.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
Forward to in the future.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Right, But there's maybe that giant waterfalls in the orchard.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Yes, So what's the point of the rain? Yeah, I don't.
I also thought when you put them together, something was
going to connect with the wind and fire and give
them each one power. That was wind fire something No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
So but we know there's more. So maybe those things
will come up in the future movies.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Yep, we'll see. Well, if you think that too long,
didn't read, you're in luck will explains it. All The
vampires and day walkers kept their moonstarts apart for too long,
and it caused the orchards to die, which it didn't.
Maybe the orchards were apart, but the actual orchard was thriving.
The pulse of the roots pain affected everyone. The island,
the camp, and the orchard were built by their ancestors

(01:21:28):
together to enjoy together. They decide that once a year
they'll all come to the camp to meet up and
bring balance to their orchard, and of course set up squels.
Commander Bright and the elders now realize the future is
in good hands. As everyone enjoys their blood fruit in
the form of kebabs and cakes, we get our final
big number, which is show the world. It's an all
cast celebration about how the real goal of life is

(01:21:49):
to be with friends and family, because then anything is possible,
including really easily stealing moonstones. The Light and Dark have
come together and it's time to dance, but that's not
the end. We're now in a beautiful hilltop. The next morning,
Zeded and Addison have decided to ditch their football and
cheerleading camps to spend the summer back at home in
Seabrook with those who love them no matter what, especially

(01:22:10):
each other. We get another flashback proprize song with the
two of them singing Ain't No Doubt about It originally
from Zombies three, and each of them getting a tap
dance solo. Then passionately kissing Sabrina's tap dancing hard. It
seems like it'd be hard.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
It is very hard, That's what I figured.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
And then we get another ending. Victor and Nova are
on the beach saying goodbye and promising to see each
other soon, but as they leave, Nova can't take it.
She runs back to him for a passionate embrace, mostly
because he's eighteen and she's fifteen, so they can't kiss
in this movie. And then big spoiler alert here, people,
the hug is interrupted by a huge tornado coming from
the bottom of the ocean, reaching high into the sky.

(01:22:45):
It appears we have water monsters, shrimp pies on the
horizon or mermaids, something we predicted at the end of
the third one, and most likely the plot for Zombies five.
They should call it Zombies five. This one will make sense.
And that's our movie, all right. I've got the one

(01:23:10):
star review. And again, this movie just came out, so
we're getting reviews already. These are all new, hot off
the presses.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Of course, our one star review is from Alicia V.
I didn't like it much. It should have just been vampires.
That was the whole point of the movie. Okay, well,
interesting review. I don't agree it's one star at all.
I had serious problems with some story points in this movie,
but I didn't agree this was one star movie. Not
at all, Sabrina, what do you got for five star?

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
All right, I'm so excited I get the five star.
This is from gene h. I loved it. Milo is
a fanatic actor. And yes that is spelled wrong. It's
not fantastic actor. It's a fanatic actor.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
I think she wants fantastic Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Yeah, but that's okay. I agree he I am a
fanatic fan of of the fantastic actor in which that
is mine. Yea, He's amazing, amazing, they.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
Both are, and the new kids are great. I just
had story problems. I didn't have actor problems. I had
story problems. No, okay, Well, we're now coming, of course,
to Sabrina's favorite portion of the program, which is a feature.
It's our feature game by our producer Jensen, who loves
to stump us. This one's called do you remember now?
With Zombies four under our belts, it's time to test

(01:24:28):
our knowledge and memory or lack thereof. We'll be given
a song title. Oh, I don't know any of the songs.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Oh my god, this is gonna be.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
All you, Sabrina. We'll be given a song title. We
have to decide if we first heard it in zombies one,
zombies two, zombies three, or cats. Higher number five out
of seven gets us a win. I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:24:50):
There's also there's also possibility of zombies four, just so
it's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Okay, Oh oh, I know one of them. Oh I'm
looking at the list. I too, I know what I
know what is. So the number number one is call
to the Wild. I have to imagine that is going
to be about were wolves. So I'm gonna say that's
from zombies two. Okay, wouldn't you think zombies to Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Oh my god, that was the easiest.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
That was the easiest one. Well, no, because I know
the next one because I made.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Exception from zombies zombies.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Okay, because I remember going like, wow, they're not even
hiding this anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
Yes, we have to talk about that when we do
my Sabrias.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Okay, number lush and three, flesh and Bone. That's got
to be cats, you think, Yeah, I'm gonna say it
zombies one.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
Okay, flesh and Bone.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
I'm gonna stick with cats in Zombies.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
One, Yes, all right. Number four my own way.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
He talks to you in the chat.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
He doesn't, I swear not gonna give me these you
kidding screen share? Screenshare? He wants us to lose? Are
you kidding? Number four is my own way? Didn't wasn't
that justin the one we just saw? Isn't she saying
about how she she's got to go around?

Speaker 4 (01:26:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
I think this is from Zombies.

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
Four word Zombies four? So will is one away Sabrina.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Tub Yeah, yeah, I'm four for four.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
For the record. Uh. Number five is we got this?

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
Just for the record. I think I think this is
where it gets kind of hard.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Oh yeah, I think okay, yeah, Uh for some reason?
Is that that is that this the first song in
the second movie with the cheerleaders we got this or
like that? Remember that when they're doing the obstacle course
that they oh is it that?

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
Or was it that? Is it the aliens when they're
when the aliens are doing the test and they're like
doing every their the tests are amazing. Oh I'm gonna
say Zombies three.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Okay, Yeah, you're right though, because that was something else
that was called something a that was like something this.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
Never happened, something never happens. Will was wrong, and you
followed him. It's zombies two?

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
You were right?

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
Was he right? Was it that song?

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
Number stand stand?

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Stand? Is this a real zombies or is this in cats?
We haven't had one for cats.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
Well, I'm guessing number seven is going to be from cats,
but I could be right. Number six stand? I think
it's was it zombies one?

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Zombies one? Stand? I don't have a clue.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
I don't either. I'm going to guess zombies one, but
I don't. I don't. I don't know if I'm right.

Speaker 4 (01:27:59):
You guys can additions in zombies one? Both?

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
Stand?

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Okay? This is a total flush and bone is actually zombies.
It's a were wolf song?

Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
It was? Did I make a mistake?

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
Did Jensen get one wrong?

Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
What number was? What number was flushing bone on the board?
I have it as one?

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
Three?

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Okay? Well, it does make sense. And that's what Will said.
It's got to be the.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
I guess keep it in, keep it in. That means
that they got it right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
Wow. Okay. And then number seven is the old grumpy cat,
the old grumpy grumble counter.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
I'm guessing that drum by gumby.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
Okay, so we.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Both your memories way better than Yes, a lot of
them was.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
Total guesses on my part. Just for the record, can
we do some Sabrina sees.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Yes, there's short because you know, I just lived for
this movie. I didn't care much about it. There are
a few couple like a few things the little girl
in the beginning, like you said, because I was expecting
her to come into play at some point and she
never did. And I think the only reason because then
again when I watched it again and we were in

(01:29:28):
the movie theater, that stuck with me a little bit
like did I miss her? And then it was kind
of like I think again because Freya was just so
young looking, having a little little girl, and maybe that
it kind of helped age her up a little bit
and made it seem like, you know, she really could be,
you know, the leader of the next leader of the
town because she was really young.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
Yeah, you could be ready to.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
And then there's two times when we have a glimpse
of what it just brought me. It was nostalgic for
me and I out there have seen Cheetah three where
the car crash scene is something that I remember filming
that is like so Paul in the sense of he
loves that kind of stuff. He had the best time
being the one doing the camera in our car crash

(01:30:15):
scene that we do. We are not a car crash,
but we have like a crazy car scene that you'll see.
And then the battle, the battle between the two. The
two things, those were just nice fun things for me,
and it was like nostalgic, yeah, like of working with Paul.
I was just so excited that Paul has this fourth
movie that's just awesome, and so that was just fun

(01:30:38):
to like, and I talked to him about that on
the Red carpet. He's like, I know, isn't that or whatever.
So then the next thing was like the aggression that
they had, even though obviously they're worried about someone new
coming on, but in all reality, neither Addison or z

(01:30:58):
looked like a day walker or a vampire in really
any way. So the fact that they were ready to
just like kill these people, I was like, Wow, this
is violent, violent Violet Violet, and I really just died
when then I'm skipping through so much more. The camp
stuff was kind of like there was so many funny

(01:31:20):
moments of how they were so positive that they could
get these kids together, and every moment they were just kidding,
like let's eat them, let's yell them, let's yell yeah.
And I felt like that's when both of them really
shined in a new light, like this like kind of
humor light that we didn't I don't feel like we
saw as much in the other movies. And then the
last one was we haven't talked about it. This dad

(01:31:43):
of Nova, we have to put him on the list.
He's the worst, the worst of all. He's not the
worst dad ever, but he's on the list because it's
literally like the weight of the world is on your shoulders,
you teeny tiny, fifteen year old, and I can't believe
that I'm gonna I'm also gonna go. I'm gonna go,
and you are gonna make all the right decisions, and

(01:32:05):
then I cannot believe that you you stumbled a bit,
You've kill them. But I'm also just not good yes,
And I'm also just not gonna be here for any
of it. I'm gonna come in at the last minute
and then I'm gonna bark at you because you didn't
do it right, and then I'm gonna go again it
sounds fair. So he was a bad dad. And that's
that's really it. All the other stuff I've said, and

(01:32:26):
it's all stuff that I love. The tap dancing was
such a amazing like fred Astaires, like Ginger Rogers, something
I would dream to be able to have in a movie,
and I was so happy for the two of them
to be able to get that. Yes, tap is very difficult.
They didn't do a totally crazy, difficult dance, but I

(01:32:48):
thought it was like a really awesome little just a
little sparkle for me that I thought was a great
addition to the movie. Because I'm sure that was kind
of thought after later loved it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Okay, uh, it's time to rate. It's it's we're now
coming to the point of our program where we're gonna rate.
We're gonna do one out of ten this time because
it's zombies and one's gonna be the worst and ten
is gonna be the best for zombies. Our options this
week we want to do one out of ten. Mconan
knives one out of ten, not day just regular walkers, naturally,

(01:33:21):
shiny insides one out of ten, missing cast member updates,
schmores one out of ten half alien coach, Lombardes, apples
with melted cheese, one out of ten, weird bird impressions
or one out of ten kebabs and cakes. What would
you like to do?

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:40):
I'm gonna do one or one out of ten?

Speaker 4 (01:33:41):
What are the.

Speaker 1 (01:33:42):
Rules so you pick? You pick which ones you want?

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
I'm gonna do. I could we do just walkers, not Day,
not Day, just regular rockers, just regular.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
So we'll pick not Day, just regular Walkers. I think
it's I turned to go first this time. I had
problems with this movie. I liked the movie again, Milo
and Meg together awesome. I loved seeing the Core four.
They were great. I think Passing the Torch was wonderful.
I love the two new people that they cast. I
didn't think the chemistry was as good as Milo and Meg,

(01:34:19):
but that's a tough thing to tap right away. I
can see them moving on. I had a ton of
problems with the how convoluted the script was. A lot
of it just didn't make any sense. It seemed like
they were making some stuff up as they were going along.
That that being said, I love the franchise. I you know,
I don't remember much of the music, not you know

(01:34:39):
the fact that we just won the game. Aside, I
don't remember a lot of the music.

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
But a lot of that music wasn't from the right righteah.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
So I just this was they go in order for me.
As I said at the beginning, Zombies one is my favorite,
Zombi's two was great, but not as good as the
first one, and so on and so on. This was
my least favorite of the four. I just thought the
script is too convoluted. I'm very excited to see what
they do in the future. I hope they add some rules,
something to make some sense. But I'm gonna give this
it's my lowest rating of all my zombies so far.

(01:35:10):
I'm gonna give this a seven point five not.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
It's still not bad.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
It's not bad, not a bad movie. It is not
a bad movie. It's again for kids for a musical.
It's bright, there's dancing. She's gonna be a big star.
He's already a Disney Channel star. I get all that.
So I was in and I'm I like the franchise.
I do. If this was standalone and it wasn't part
of a franchise that I didn't already know and love,

(01:35:36):
this would have been a much harsher score because there's
it's not as light as the other movies. There isn't
the tongue in cheapness about it. I missed kind of
the buckiness of it. It was too much in the
third one, but like the first two, he was kind
of perfect. So yeah, I'm I'm I'm happy with a
seven point five, not Day just regular Walkers. I think
a lot of that is I'm giving it because of

(01:35:59):
the franchise it's part of as opposed to just this
movie itself. I had problems with this movie, but yeah,
but I still love the franchise.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
Yes, well, I to me. One of the things, especially
the anticipation of passing the torch, right, this is something
that's obviously going on with a couple of the franchise,
the Cheetah Girls being one of them, of wanting to
bring back that essence but not knowing where to go.
How do you do a reboot? Like all that kind

(01:36:27):
of stuff is is tough, It's not an easy thing
to do. Very seldom does a reboot come out and
people love it. So it's hard to figure out where
that sweet spot is. And I was worried, like, how
are they gonna do this. Who doesn't love Addison and
Zed I know I do. I'm obsessed. It's been so
long since I have fallen for like a couple like

(01:36:50):
this in the movies, and that I just I'm obsessed
with them. I can't imagine, you know, before seeing this,
how they would ever not be in part of this
franchise right or be the main character. With that being said,
I think the way they did this was a great
way to pass the torch and continue the franchise for
the future. I didn't know if it could be done,

(01:37:11):
and for me, this is the way to do it.
And also knowing that Meg and Milo aren't gonna one
hundred percent ever disappear. They're always going to be a
part of it, and I think the fans will obviously
always love that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
But this was a really great way on how to
do that passing of the torch. When you go to
do what we're doing and you're dissecting it, of course,
this is where we're gonna be. We're going to fight
the flaws. That's what we're looking to do, right, that's
the job.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
And even within that, it was still like because I
just fell for these two characters and know their chemistry,
the shoes they had to fill. I don't think they
one hundred percent got there, but I could see the
potential of them getting there.

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
The more that within the next couple of movies they're great.
The the talent, the cast of dancers within New Zealand
was phenomenal. These these kids knew how to get it done.
They were great on camera, they were vibrant. Again. I
loved the new we didn't even talk about it, but

(01:38:17):
the wardrobe that they all had, the differences, like, there
was so many things that are true zombie that I
thought this this this movie brought. But of course, yes,
being such a big thing and taking us completely out
of Seabrook, there was a lot of stuff to do,
and I don't think they hit everything the way they've
done it in the past.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
So I can we go on record for everyone's cut?
So Will has one, two, three, four, Sabrina I have.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
For me, I have one, and I think I would
have to do a tie between the second and the
Werewolf and this one, and then the third would be
my least, but I still love the third.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
I have two four three?

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Yeah really two first in one four three Okay, So anyway,
but saying that I still loved it. I still I
love the new characters. I can't wait to see where
this is going. I hope to God that we get
it sooner than three years from now. I'm going to
give this a nine.

Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
I know, I just love this franchise so much. I do.
I'm ready to look past all that stuff. I just
love you guys. Freya, You're a star. Can't wait to
see what you do. I love you as Nova, I
love Malachai, I love all mall. I love love every week,
not day, just regular walkers for me.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
I love that. Okay, Well, thank you everybody for joining
us as we wrap what we were hopefully not wrapping
up the Zombies franchise, but at least wrapping up the ones.
We're caught up for one franchise, which we've never been before,
so that's kind of cool. And uh, we're going to
be taking a little summer recap break, everybody, just a
few weeks off from analyzing d cooms. But that doesn't
mean you're going to be without new Magical rewinds. We
have some incredible interviews lined up. They'll each be released

(01:39:57):
on the dedicated Magical rewind feed for you and listen
these heavy hitters we talked to. Next week we'll be
chatting with a Zombies veteran Terry who better known as Aspen,
one of the aliens from Zombies three. They beamed down
to chat with us, and let's kick it all off
with a little preview of what you're in for.

Speaker 5 (01:40:15):
I actually cut my hair for the role and I
died it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:40:19):
I was the only one that died it, which you know,
was really amazing and also had its own struggles because
I had really dark hair obviously, so like the way
that it stays and you know, stuff like that. But
when it was good, it was good. Oh, it was
really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
Did you keep it? How long did you keep it?
After filming where you were like, I'm diggin this kept
it for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
And then the week after that, we're sitting down with
Brian Stepanic, Yes, a family TV legend, a prolific actor.
You know him from the Sweet Life with Zach and Cody, Nick, Ricky,
Dicky and Don, The Loud House and Young Sheldon. But
most importantly for us, hatching Pete. Actually, even more importantly
though maybe the most importantly, is one of the He
is the esteemed host of the Disney Channel games. We

(01:40:59):
got really in the weeds with him on this trust Me.
We talked some Simon Says and what it was like
to work with all these annoying little Brady kids that
for Disney Channel kids. I'm kidding, I'm sure he loved it.
And then after that we could probably just sleep, take
it easy. But no, no, no, we're gonna be chatting with
the duo we never expected on the podcast. It's Heidi
and Heather Burge, the real basketball player Twins, whose life

(01:41:22):
was the inspiration for the movie that nobody liked Double Team.

Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
Don't everyone lie, everyone but.

Speaker 1 (01:41:29):
Me, don't ever say that we don't live that dcom life.
