The Cheetah Girls (2003)

[00:00:03] This is a Bramble Jam Podcast

[00:00:43] We're at 144, we need to get to 300 to continue this show, so that doesn't seem plausible

[00:00:51] But also, this is our last episode of 2024, Bram

[00:00:54] No!

[00:00:55] I know!

[00:00:56] Which, it gives the folks at home three weeks to get those ratings and reviews in before

[00:01:01] we kick off January with new DCOM Descendants all year long

[00:01:06] That's true!

[00:01:07] So, like, happy holidays, we've been coming at you 40 some straight weeks in a row

[00:01:11] We're taking three weeks off for Christmas

[00:01:13] So sue us!

[00:01:14] Yeah!

[00:01:15] It's Christmas break

[00:01:18] I'm excited about the new year though

[00:01:21] I think it's really gonna be the year that we get the 300 by Season 3

[00:01:28] Whatever we're calling it

[00:01:29] 300 by the end of the DCOMs

[00:01:31] Now, our Spotify wrapped has come out

[00:01:34] And I have some data that I would like to share with you

[00:01:38] I'm just getting this for the first time

[00:01:40] Wow! That's new?

[00:01:42] Our top episode was Horse Sense

[00:01:46] Interesting

[00:01:48] It was streamed 319% more than your average episode

[00:01:53] What happened? I think I know what happened there

[00:01:56] Okay

[00:01:56] I think we both do

[00:01:57] Ever wonder who your audience is? Yeah?

[00:01:59] Yeah

[00:01:59] Let's break it down

[00:02:00] Break it down

[00:02:01] Oh, we're pretty spread out

[00:02:03] Look how diverse we are

[00:02:34] 5%

[00:02:35] Where in the world we've been listening to?

[00:02:36] We were

[00:02:37] Sorry, there was more to that

[00:02:38] Where are we in the world?

[00:02:39] We were streamed in 15 countries

[00:02:42] With the United States being our top country

[00:02:44] But 15 countries isn't nothing

[00:02:45] How many continents do we get?

[00:02:47] Do we get all of them aside from Antarctica?

[00:02:48] That's a good question

[00:02:49] They didn't give me that information

[00:02:50] Alright

[00:02:52] People that listen to this show listen to

[00:02:54] Number 1

[00:02:55] Dyke the Home

[00:02:56] What?

[00:02:57] Number 2

[00:02:58] What's the crossover?

[00:02:59] The Joe Rogan experience

[00:03:00] Eee

[00:03:01] Number 3

[00:03:03] Number 3

[00:03:04] Armchair expert

[00:03:05] Okay

[00:03:05] Oh, whatever

[00:03:06] Number 4

[00:03:07] Let's go to court

[00:03:08] What's this?

[00:03:08] Is this another courtroom show?

[00:03:10] Is Joe Gavel Gavel being had by another courtroom show?

[00:03:13] Number 5

[00:03:13] Dateline NBC

[00:03:14] Let's go to court

[00:03:15] What a combo

[00:03:16] What a combo

[00:03:17] Look at us

[00:03:21] Watched video

[00:03:22] That's not

[00:03:22] I don't care about that

[00:03:23] The thing about it is

[00:03:24] Is the Joe Rogan listeners

[00:03:25] Are worried they might be on the Dateline podcast

[00:03:28] Yeah, that's true

[00:03:29] That's true

[00:03:30] Go to court podcast

[00:03:31] We showed up in the top 10

[00:03:33] On people's Spotify wrapped

[00:03:36] For 552 fans

[00:03:41] 552 fans

[00:03:43] Said

[00:03:44] Yes, please

[00:03:44] Give me more of that

[00:03:46] We're in their top 10 podcasts

[00:03:48] So that's pretty cool

[00:03:49] But what? Like one fifth of those

[00:03:50] Left a review?

[00:03:51] Yeah, that's a great point

[00:03:52] We're in the top 5

[00:03:56] For 459 of them

[00:03:58] And if everybody who is in the top 5

[00:04:00] Left one rating or review

[00:04:01] Dan would have to watch the Liz McGuire movie

[00:04:04] You ready for this?

[00:04:05] Which I don't currently

[00:04:06] We are the number one show

[00:04:09] For 195 people

[00:04:11] I would love it if those

[00:04:13] 195 people left a rating or review

[00:04:15] I bet you 144 of them have

[00:04:17] How about that?

[00:04:18] But that means there's about 50

[00:04:19] Who haven't

[00:04:19] There's 200 people out there

[00:04:20] With their number one podcast?

[00:04:22] Yeah

[00:04:22] Man

[00:04:23] Man, I feel like a weight

[00:04:26] So encouraged

[00:04:26] Like a sense of responsibility

[00:04:27] That I didn't before

[00:04:28] So encouraged

[00:04:29] You know, I wasn't loving that this was our last episode of 2024

[00:04:32] But I do feel like that is a good note

[00:04:34] We should be like

[00:04:35] Yeah, before it gets worse

[00:04:36] We should go out on that note

[00:04:38] It's already a PG-13 podcast

[00:04:39] Could get R really quick

[00:04:41] You never know

[00:04:41] And I am saying

[00:04:42] We are ending on a big one today

[00:04:44] We're talking Cheetah Girls

[00:04:46] Cheetah Girls

[00:04:47] Cheetah Sisters

[00:04:47] And what was it?

[00:04:49] Cheetah Girls

[00:04:49] Cheetah Sisters

[00:04:51] And I heard it

[00:04:53] I heard it

[00:04:54] I heard it

[00:04:56] And my whole thing while I was watching this movie was

[00:04:59] What are we going to do for Delish?

[00:05:02] Oh, is that how we start the show?

[00:05:03] So many options

[00:05:04] So many possibilities

[00:05:04] I mean, we haven't

[00:05:05] But today for this episode

[00:05:06] D-C-O-M is decom

[00:05:07] What if we had like a D for Delish

[00:05:10] D for Delish

[00:05:11] This is perfect

[00:05:12] It is time for Delish

[00:05:13] It's where Aaron brings us some sort of thing

[00:05:15] That we can eat or drink

[00:05:19] While watching or talking about this movie

[00:05:21] Aaron, what's the thing that you

[00:05:24] Whipped up for the folks today?

[00:05:27] I have a couple options

[00:05:29] Oh, multiple options

[00:05:32] Yeah

[00:05:34] So I was drawing some inspiration for our beverage today

[00:05:38] From Aqua

[00:05:40] Who likes a little heat on her food

[00:05:43] Aqua always carries some hot sauce with her

[00:05:46] You guys don't all carry hot sauce?

[00:05:47] No, I carry some little Nutella with me

[00:05:49] I have a full bottle of hot sauce right here in my pocket

[00:05:51] So I'm ready to go

[00:05:52] You got your hot sauce pocket hot sauce?

[00:05:54] I've got this smoothie that I've been working on for years

[00:05:55] Ew

[00:05:56] Oh no

[00:05:58] I don't love that for you

[00:05:59] But yeah, I prefer to carry around some Nutella for emergencies

[00:06:03] Dan is more of an Aqua

[00:06:05] Yeah, more of a hot sauce boy

[00:06:06] But he's from the south just like the aqua

[00:06:08] Southern hot sauce

[00:06:08] Squirt it in your mouth, Dan

[00:06:09] Squirt it in your mouth

[00:06:10] I don't love that

[00:06:11] Oh! Oh!

[00:06:13] What's the expiration date on that wet boy?

[00:06:15] I feel like it's been around for a while

[00:06:17] Yeah

[00:06:17] Well, it's been in his pocket forever

[00:06:19] Alright

[00:06:19] The expiration date is

[00:06:23] I'm gonna get sick

[00:06:25] It's September 4th, 2022

[00:06:28] No!

[00:06:30] No!

[00:06:31] Huh?

[00:06:34] I actually remember when those were sent to us

[00:06:36] Those came in after I'd been hired here

[00:06:39] So someone sent us expired sauce

[00:06:42] Oh my God

[00:06:43] Anyway

[00:06:44] Well, the good news is

[00:06:45] Is that the sauce

[00:06:46] That hot sauce

[00:06:47] It's been like in the fridge though

[00:06:48] It's like been good

[00:06:50] It has not been sitting out in our 80 degree

[00:06:52] It's been in the sweltering 84 degree break room

[00:06:56] So not only is this our last episode of the year

[00:06:58] It might be our last episode with Dan

[00:07:00] That's right

[00:07:01] Thoughts and prayers obviously

[00:07:02] Yeah, we'd continue this one without Dan

[00:07:04] Oh, for sure

[00:07:05] If I get up to leave to go to the bathroom in the middle of this

[00:07:07] You'll know why

[00:07:08] It's throwing up everywhere

[00:07:09] Anyway

[00:07:10] So today I'm bringing a mocktail

[00:07:13] Which you can add anything to

[00:07:15] Tequila

[00:07:16] Or like a sparkling wine

[00:07:18] If you wanted to put some alcohol in there

[00:07:20] But this mocktail is called Sweet Heat

[00:07:22] Sweet Heat

[00:07:23] It has some peach mango juice

[00:07:26] Mixed with a little bit of lemon

[00:07:27] And a little bit of some hot honey

[00:07:30] Okay

[00:07:30] Alright

[00:07:31] Cheers everybody

[00:07:33] Delish

[00:07:35] Woo

[00:07:36] Woo

[00:07:38] Little kick

[00:07:39] I like the flavor of that a lot

[00:07:41] I wish there was like

[00:07:42] The consistency isn't my jam

[00:07:44] Yeah

[00:07:44] But the flavor is delicious

[00:07:46] Yeah, that little kick

[00:07:47] I wasn't sure with the hot honey

[00:07:49] Cause I love hot honey on foods

[00:07:50] I've never put it in a beverage

[00:07:52] I was a little nervous

[00:07:53] But

[00:07:53] Never thought to do such a thing

[00:07:55] I tried it before I served it to you guys

[00:07:58] Thank you

[00:07:58] Just in case it was really bad

[00:08:00] And I really liked it

[00:08:01] We actually make Aaron do that

[00:08:02] For everything that we bring in

[00:08:03] Yeah, we do

[00:08:04] Aaron, can you try this to make sure it's not

[00:08:06] Poisoned

[00:08:06] The other option is to grab your favorite brand

[00:08:09] Not brand

[00:08:09] No

[00:08:10] But your favorite flavor of Cheetos

[00:08:12] Cheetos

[00:08:12] Representing that cheetah

[00:08:14] The fastest and fiercest feline

[00:08:16] Nice

[00:08:17] Chester himself

[00:08:18] Chester himself

[00:08:19] I don't know if he's the fastest and fiercest

[00:08:21] But

[00:08:22] Cheetos

[00:08:23] It ain't easy being cheesy

[00:08:24] I know that much

[00:08:24] Yeah, so

[00:08:26] Maybe

[00:08:26] Maybe hot honey

[00:08:28] Drinks are not your thing

[00:08:29] Maybe not

[00:08:30] But Cheetos are probably everybody's thing

[00:08:32] I think that with like 80

[00:08:33] 20% that and 80% prosecco would be delicious

[00:08:36] Oh, right?

[00:08:37] Like a little

[00:08:37] Yeah, I was even thinking like I wish I had a plain seltzer

[00:08:40] A sweet heat mimosa basically

[00:08:42] Yeah, that's the move there

[00:08:43] Those are all good ideas

[00:08:44] You know, I thought about it when I was at the store buying the ingredients

[00:08:46] I was like what if I got a little thing of champagne or like prosecco

[00:08:50] But I know typically

[00:08:51] But we don't drink here at the office

[00:08:52] So

[00:08:53] Well, I was gonna say typically you guys don't like prosecco

[00:08:55] So

[00:08:55] I don't mind it

[00:08:56] I didn't do it but

[00:08:57] Alright

[00:08:58] How are the cheetos?

[00:09:00] The cheetos

[00:09:01] Dan

[00:09:02] Yeah, so good

[00:09:03] Alright, here's what we're gonna do

[00:09:04] We're gonna take a quick break

[00:09:05] We're gonna come back

[00:09:05] And we are going to talk about the cheetah girls

[00:09:09] I'll talk about the cheetah girls

[00:09:11] And we'll eat cheetos

[00:09:11] They'll eat cheetos

[00:09:12] Cheetos

[00:09:13] On the other side of the break

[00:09:14] Here on

[00:09:16] Decondescendants

[00:09:25] I feel like we were set up there

[00:09:27] Yeah, me too

[00:09:28] It was a hit

[00:09:29] I never choose cheetos

[00:09:31] Ever

[00:09:31] I love cheetos

[00:09:32] Give me some cheetos

[00:09:33] But whenever I have them

[00:09:35] Which is so rare

[00:09:36] I can't tell you the last time I've had a cheeto

[00:09:38] They hit

[00:09:39] They're good

[00:09:40] Do you prefer a cheeto crunchy or a cheeto puff?

[00:09:43] I don't know that I care

[00:09:45] I'm a puff boy

[00:09:45] I think

[00:09:46] But I don't dislike crunchy

[00:09:47] Sounds like it's more my

[00:09:48] Really?

[00:09:50] My game

[00:09:50] But I mean I think I

[00:09:51] For snacking

[00:09:52] I would prefer these

[00:09:54] They have a little bit more like substance to them

[00:09:56] So I think we're gonna finish this bag

[00:09:57] And I'm gonna be good

[00:09:59] But a cheeto puff

[00:10:00] I will eat an entire jar

[00:10:01] They're like air

[00:10:03] I will just eat that whole jar

[00:10:04] And then

[00:10:06] I will also

[00:10:07] You know, join Dan in the

[00:10:08] Not here anymore

[00:10:10] Remember when I went to my cheeto face

[00:10:12] September of 22, gang

[00:10:14] It's gonna be brand so low

[00:10:16] I do

[00:10:16] Remember when I went through my cheese ball phase

[00:10:18] It might have been back in September of 22

[00:10:20] But I went through a phase

[00:10:21] People kept sending us buckets of cheese balls

[00:10:24] If you had continued on that phase

[00:10:26] Until now

[00:10:27] You would be dead

[00:10:28] Yeah

[00:10:29] You were, I mean

[00:10:30] Barrels full of cheese balls

[00:10:32] Barrels

[00:10:32] Yeah

[00:10:34] Let's talk cheetah girls, shall we?

[00:10:35] Right

[00:10:35] Based on the book

[00:10:37] There's nothing I would love more

[00:10:38] By Deborah Gregory

[00:10:39] Which we found out

[00:10:40] There's a lot of them

[00:10:41] There's like 16

[00:10:41] A whole lot of them

[00:10:42] Yeah, 13 year old Aaron desperately wanted them

[00:10:44] But

[00:10:45] It was too daunting

[00:10:47] At 13 for me to try to track them down at

[00:10:49] The good old Barnes and Noble

[00:10:51] And they're fast too

[00:10:52] Yeah

[00:10:52] They are the fast

[00:10:53] The books are fast

[00:10:54] Because it's called Cheetah Girls

[00:10:55] Yeah, that's right

[00:10:56] Hard to catch

[00:10:58] It is

[00:10:59] It originally premiered on the Disney Channel

[00:11:01] On August 15th

[00:11:03] 2003

[00:11:03] Oh my gosh

[00:11:04] Like right before my birthday

[00:11:05] That's nice

[00:11:06] At that date

[00:11:06] This hot sauce would have still been good

[00:11:08] Right?

[00:11:09] Right

[00:11:10] Right at the tail end of summer

[00:11:12] You know

[00:11:12] Yeah

[00:11:13] Summer's coming to an end

[00:11:14] And you wanna watch some Cheetah Girls

[00:11:15] And get inspired for another year

[00:11:18] You know what I mean?

[00:11:19] Uh huh

[00:11:20] I did, I mean it wasn't a cheetah print

[00:11:21] But I did around the age of 13

[00:11:23] Have a heavy leopard print phase

[00:11:25] I bet

[00:11:26] Heavy leopard print phase

[00:11:28] How could you not?

[00:11:28] How could you not?

[00:11:29] Not a light one

[00:11:29] No

[00:11:29] Like you were really invested

[00:11:30] No, I had like a bucket hat

[00:11:32] I had a winter jacket

[00:11:33] How many days a week were you rocking leopard print?

[00:11:35] Multiple

[00:11:36] Multiple?

[00:11:36] It was a lot

[00:11:37] I don't remember

[00:11:38] Two? Five?

[00:11:39] But I could probably find some photos

[00:11:40] I know I still have photos of me

[00:11:42] In the leopard print bucket hat

[00:11:44] But I had like a fake leather jacket

[00:11:46] Where the inside was all like leopard fur

[00:11:50] Yeah

[00:11:50] The coolest

[00:11:51] And then today I was trying to find a shirt

[00:11:53] That had anything

[00:11:54] Like trying to find anything leopard print

[00:11:55] Or cheetah print that I could wear

[00:11:57] And I've purged it all

[00:11:58] But I did just get this sweater

[00:12:00] That says sweater weather

[00:12:01] And a couple of the letters

[00:12:03] Have like leopard print on them

[00:12:05] It's all I have left

[00:12:06] You know this

[00:12:07] Or like 14 year old me was like

[00:12:08] That was too much

[00:12:09] You typically try to dress

[00:12:10] Like thematically

[00:12:11] For the show

[00:12:12] And it's a show

[00:12:14] That we all could do that

[00:12:15] Pretty easily

[00:12:15] With any heads up

[00:12:16] The problem is

[00:12:17] Is I don't

[00:12:18] I guess

[00:12:18] Usually we record the same day we watch it

[00:12:20] And so I don't know what the movie's about

[00:12:22] And I don't really have any desire to find out

[00:12:24] Or I would be down for a thematic

[00:12:26] Like

[00:12:27] That's fair

[00:12:27] That's fair

[00:12:28] You know what I mean

[00:12:28] I could probably be like

[00:12:30] I'll remind you in January

[00:12:31] You can just wear basketball

[00:12:33] Something

[00:12:33] Get your head in the game

[00:12:34] Get your head in the game

[00:12:35] Yeah

[00:13:31] To one off

[00:13:31] I do see that he directed

[00:13:36] The TV show

[00:13:37] Oh okay

[00:13:38] Based on

[00:13:39] The Ice Cube vehicle

[00:13:40] That's exactly right

[00:13:41] Did some blackish

[00:13:42] He's done a lot of stuff

[00:13:44] Yeah

[00:13:44] But none more important

[00:13:46] Than The Cheetah Girls

[00:13:47] Than The Cheetah Girls

[00:13:47] So they didn't bring him back for Cheetah Girls 2?

[00:13:49] No

[00:13:49] Or the third one

[00:13:51] Or Cheetah Girls 1

[00:13:52] Or Cheetah Girls

[00:13:54] The one that's three

[00:13:59] The Cheetah Follows the Lion

[00:14:01] Yeah

[00:14:01] Oh

[00:14:02] We'll save it for then

[00:14:03] But big director

[00:14:25] Kelly Williams

[00:14:26] Kelly Williams

[00:14:27] Is it Keeley or Kelly?

[00:14:28] Who did you say?

[00:14:29] Michelle Williams

[00:14:29] No I said Michelle Williams

[00:14:31] That's right

[00:14:32] Michelle Williams

[00:14:32] I was like

[00:14:33] A Blue Valentine?

[00:14:34] Of Destiny's Child?

[00:14:35] Which one?

[00:14:36] Neither

[00:14:37] There was A Williams

[00:14:39] That's right

[00:14:40] Who was also part of a girl group

[00:14:42] And so when I was off the cuff saying it

[00:14:44] Michelle

[00:14:45] Yeah it makes perfect sense

[00:14:46] And then

[00:14:47] I can see how you cross those wires

[00:14:48] Like now that I've seen the movie

[00:14:50] Yeah Michelle Williams

[00:15:04] Player's gonna play

[00:15:05] No I was thinking of Shake It Off

[00:15:06] I know but it's the one that like

[00:15:08] They sued Taylor

[00:15:09] Cause they thought

[00:15:10] Oh

[00:15:10] She had stolen Shake It Off from them

[00:15:12] Nice

[00:15:13] Of course Taylor's

[00:15:15] Stealing all of her stuff

[00:15:16] That's right

[00:15:16] All of her best stuff

[00:15:17] If you heard it you would know the song

[00:15:18] I'm not doing a great job singing it

[00:15:19] But you would know it

[00:15:21] The movie kicks off with a full

[00:15:22] September of 22

[00:15:45] Chanel

[00:15:46] And Aqua

[00:15:47] I got three of the first initials right

[00:15:49] I know I was proud of you

[00:15:51] But Dan

[00:15:52] And for what it's worth

[00:15:53] I wouldn't have been able to be any help to you

[00:15:55] Dorinda

[00:15:57] So it's this show

[00:15:58] They call her Doe

[00:15:59] You probably could've gone with Doe

[00:16:00] Doe, yeah

[00:16:00] Doe, Rina, Fa

[00:16:01] Chi Chi, Bubbles

[00:16:03] You know what?

[00:16:03] Chi Chi

[00:16:03] You know Chi Chi and Bubbles

[00:16:05] Or Chi Chi

[00:16:05] Sorry, it's Chi Chi

[00:16:06] My bad

[00:16:07] And I think I said Deary

[00:16:09] Her name is Deary

[00:16:11] Deary

[00:16:12] Well that's our nickname for you

[00:16:13] That's right

[00:16:15] Deary Dan

[00:16:15] Everybody around here calls me Deary

[00:16:17] Deary Dan

[00:16:18] Something that happens

[00:16:19] They're performing at this like

[00:16:20] Kids birthday party

[00:16:22] And it's

[00:16:23] It feels like the same location that Cadet Kelly opened up in

[00:16:27] It does

[00:16:28] It does

[00:16:28] And it's also outside

[00:16:30] But we get perfect audio

[00:16:31] And we get

[00:16:32] Drums

[00:16:32] Music video style

[00:16:34] Yeah, like six different camera angles

[00:16:36] It's impressive for a kid's birthday party

[00:16:39] I don't even know what they paid

[00:16:40] But it's a lot

[00:16:41] And they're

[00:16:42] Well they took all their fee from that party and put it into the cameras

[00:16:45] Yeah, of course

[00:16:46] That's right

[00:16:48] Now, they're feeling pretty good about themselves

[00:16:50] Big performance

[00:16:50] And Chanel is

[00:16:53] She races home

[00:16:54] She goes and she tells her mom all about it

[00:16:56] But her mom is too busy because she has a new boyfriend

[00:17:00] Parisian

[00:17:01] Luke

[00:17:01] Parisian Luke

[00:17:02] Yep

[00:17:03] Paris Luke

[00:17:04] She is rating her daughter's closet for a bomb top to wear

[00:17:09] Bomb top

[00:17:09] On her date

[00:17:10] That's right

[00:17:11] Which we find out is no longer the slang in 2000

[00:17:13] No, no, no

[00:17:14] 2003 you should say tight

[00:17:15] That's right

[00:17:16] Tight

[00:17:16] There's Galleria

[00:17:18] She goes home and her parents are serious

[00:17:22] You know, like they're cool but they're serious

[00:17:24] Like her mom just wants her to remember to do the things that she said she's gonna do

[00:17:29] Yep

[00:17:30] Her dad is just kind of like pops in and is like

[00:17:32] Hey!

[00:17:32] And then he pops back out

[00:17:33] Yeah

[00:17:34] She had promised her parents, you know, that she would

[00:17:36] She had taken a phone message

[00:17:38] She was supposed to take the dog out

[00:17:39] She was supposed to bring home some capers for dinner

[00:17:43] And she forgot all of it

[00:17:44] So her parents are just like

[00:17:45] All the capers

[00:17:46] We know that you think that you're already a pop star

[00:17:48] But you need to be better

[00:17:50] That's right

[00:17:51] And they have a dog named Toto

[00:17:53] And

[00:17:54] If you think that Toto is just a mascot

[00:17:56] You are gonna be proven wrong

[00:17:57] Toto is very important

[00:17:58] Very important to this movie

[00:18:00] Now the Cheetah Girls have one goal

[00:18:02] And it's a big one

[00:18:02] And it has become the first

[00:18:04] One goal, one world

[00:18:05] That's right

[00:18:05] First freshman in the history to win the talent show

[00:18:09] And also have a career in the music industry

[00:18:12] Yeah, so they have two dreams

[00:18:13] Two goals

[00:18:14] That's right

[00:18:15] Two goals

[00:18:15] Of equal size

[00:18:16] And Jackal Johnson

[00:18:18] Oh, the Jackal Johnson

[00:18:20] Is

[00:18:21] JJ

[00:18:22] He's kind of the dream

[00:18:23] Shout out to my brother JJ

[00:18:24] Shout out JJ

[00:18:25] Who's not Jackal Johnson

[00:18:26] Shout out to my brother Jim

[00:18:27] Bram?

[00:18:29] Shout out to

[00:18:30] I think I'm gonna go with Pat this time

[00:18:32] Man, he always goes Pat

[00:18:33] We chose two brothers with J names and you went with Pat

[00:18:35] Yeah

[00:18:36] I'll go Josh

[00:18:36] Okay

[00:18:37] Wow

[00:18:37] He is not gonna choose Jesse

[00:18:39] He's just not gonna do it

[00:18:41] Thank you for your service

[00:18:42] And Jesse was in the armed services

[00:18:44] Still is

[00:18:45] Still is

[00:18:46] Still is

[00:18:46] Man, Jesse just taking it on the chin

[00:18:48] He knows what he did

[00:18:49] He doesn't

[00:18:50] The best part is I know him the least

[00:18:51] But I know he doesn't care

[00:18:52] I know

[00:18:54] So, Jackal Johnson is a big deal

[00:18:56] He puts on a good front

[00:18:56] Yeah, he's fine

[00:18:59] Jackal Johnson

[00:19:00] Every week he's just waiting

[00:19:01] One day Bram's gonna tell me he loves me

[00:19:03] And the weird thing is

[00:19:04] He hasn't reached out at all

[00:19:05] To talk about it

[00:19:06] He hasn't reached out

[00:19:07] And been like hey man what gives

[00:19:08] He's a strong silent type

[00:19:09] That's right

[00:19:10] He's not gonna tell you he's hurting

[00:19:11] That's right

[00:19:12] So, the Cheetah Girls

[00:19:14] They go and they do their audition

[00:19:16] For the talent show

[00:19:17] And guess who is there

[00:19:21] Awkwafina

[00:19:21] I don't know

[00:19:22] What's her name?

[00:19:22] Oh no, Jackal Johnson is there

[00:19:24] Jackal Johnson is there

[00:19:25] But didn't their music teacher

[00:19:27] Used to be famous

[00:19:28] Like drinka

[00:19:29] Drinka

[00:19:29] Drinka

[00:19:30] Drinka Champagne

[00:19:32] Drinka is there

[00:19:33] Because she's like in charge

[00:19:34] Of the talent show

[00:19:35] That's right

[00:19:35] Yeah, she's a teacher at the school

[00:19:36] I see myself in all of you

[00:19:38] But then Jackal Johnson shows up

[00:19:40] And we forget about drinka

[00:19:41] He was just rolling through the neighborhood

[00:19:42] Yeah

[00:19:42] It's his school

[00:19:44] It's his alma mater

[00:19:45] Yeah, and he decided

[00:19:47] I'm gonna pop into this high school unannounced

[00:19:50] To check out some of the local high school talent

[00:19:51] You can do that in 2003

[00:19:53] You couldn't do it now

[00:19:54] But I think in 2003 you could just walk in

[00:19:55] I think that is my

[00:19:57] Of all the plot points in this movie

[00:19:58] That you obviously no one's trying to hold this movie

[00:20:01] To any sort of like realistic standard

[00:20:03] Like you can't do that

[00:20:04] Or you won't enjoy yourself at all

[00:20:05] But him just popping into a high school

[00:20:08] For a talent show is the funniest part of this movie

[00:20:10] Yeah

[00:20:10] Like I just was walking on the street

[00:20:12] And I was like

[00:20:13] I'm gonna pop in and see what's going on

[00:20:14] What's that idea?

[00:20:15] I think he knew the talent show

[00:20:16] Was apparently this Saturday

[00:20:19] So he's just scouting

[00:20:21] Maybe I'll show up for the auditions

[00:20:22] Yeah

[00:20:23] See what we got

[00:20:24] Should he show up for the actual talent show?

[00:20:26] No

[00:20:26] Imagine like Pharrell Williams being like

[00:20:28] Morgan I don't have much

[00:20:30] What do I have on my calendar?

[00:20:31] There's some high school auditions

[00:20:32] Yeah let's just pop in real quick

[00:20:34] Yeah

[00:20:34] Should that not have been their first clue

[00:20:36] That maybe

[00:20:36] He's not the best

[00:20:38] Music producer

[00:20:39] His second clue

[00:20:40] Second clue

[00:20:40] His name is Jackal

[00:20:41] That probably doesn't help

[00:20:43] Hi I'm Jackal

[00:20:44] Jackal Johnson

[00:20:47] And so he introduces himself

[00:20:49] And the Cheetah Girls are pumped

[00:20:50] Galleria

[00:20:51] Does what Galleria does

[00:20:53] And basically takes all the credit for everything

[00:20:55] She's like I'm the founder of the Cheetah Girls

[00:20:56] I write all these songs

[00:20:57] I'm awesome

[00:20:57] And the rest of the girls are like

[00:20:58] Okay whatever

[00:20:59] We are here too

[00:21:01] We are here too

[00:21:01] So don't forget about us

[00:21:04] Galleria's mom

[00:21:05] And

[00:21:08] Chanel's mom

[00:21:09] Thank you

[00:21:10] I thought you said Galleria is mom

[00:21:13] Galleria's mom

[00:21:14] Galleria's mom

[00:21:16] Galleria's mom

[00:21:18] Is also in the crowd

[00:21:20] Yeah

[00:21:21] For the audition

[00:21:22] Sees what's going on here

[00:21:24] Yeah if there's one place that the girls need parental supervision

[00:21:27] It is at the high school talent show audition

[00:21:30] And nowhere else

[00:21:31] Cut it loose in Manhattan

[00:21:32] By all means you don't need

[00:21:33] But in the audition

[00:21:34] In the audition at the high school they attend every day

[00:21:36] Yeah

[00:21:37] Thank goodness

[00:21:37] And it's clearly an open audition

[00:21:39] You can come in and watch

[00:21:40] I mean Jackal Johnson's there

[00:21:41] Jackal Johnson

[00:21:41] Moms are there

[00:21:42] Yeah

[00:21:42] It's normal

[00:21:43] Yes

[00:21:44] And she's basically like

[00:21:45] No way pump the brakes

[00:21:47] We're not going to do this

[00:21:48] You're in high school

[00:21:49] You should be in high school

[00:21:51] And kind of holds firm on that

[00:21:54] Until later in the night

[00:21:55] Or you know weeks

[00:21:57] Who can say really

[00:21:58] I can say it is later that night

[00:22:00] Because

[00:22:01] Has to be timeline wise

[00:22:02] One thing I learned about this timeline

[00:22:03] Is I thought it was weeks

[00:22:06] When I was a kid

[00:22:08] It is one week

[00:22:09] Yeah I would have expected Galleria to be like

[00:22:12] Bugging her mom for like days

[00:22:13] Yeah

[00:22:14] Like hey mom please let me have this meeting

[00:22:15] She throws one fit at home

[00:22:17] Yes

[00:22:17] And the dad's like

[00:22:18] Well what a learning opportunity

[00:22:20] That's right

[00:22:21] If he takes a bitch

[00:22:21] How could it hurt

[00:22:23] Yeah

[00:22:24] Frunkle

[00:22:25] It's the one accent that can't be offensive

[00:22:27] Yeah

[00:22:27] So that

[00:22:28] I'm gonna do it until it is

[00:22:30] Mamma mia

[00:22:31] Let her go to the audition

[00:22:34] Let her go

[00:22:35] She's as bad as a meatball

[00:22:37] So

[00:22:39] They do

[00:22:40] They do go to the meeting

[00:22:43] Oh man

[00:22:44] And

[00:22:44] Erin's not joining in

[00:22:45] In case in a few years

[00:22:46] It is offensive

[00:22:47] She won't be a part of it

[00:22:48] No I was just remembering

[00:22:49] Did they do the Italian accent?

[00:22:51] Was it at the marathon

[00:22:52] When we had a whole meatball bit?

[00:22:54] Yeah

[00:22:55] No that was the luck of the Irish

[00:22:56] I was remembering

[00:22:57] The whole meatball

[00:22:58] Yeah I was just remembering

[00:22:59] The meatball bit

[00:23:00] Oh Ryan was there

[00:23:01] That was

[00:23:02] Yeah

[00:24:09] Yeah Morning Bowling Club

[00:24:10] That was fun wasn't it?

[00:24:12] Was it?

[00:24:12] It did

[00:24:13] The Morning Bowling Club fell apart

[00:24:14] And he became a rap group

[00:24:16] Yeah he became a rap group

[00:24:19] Gallery is mom

[00:24:20] He became rap group

[00:24:22] He is rap group

[00:24:23] Is there anything

[00:24:25] That you want to touch on

[00:24:27] Before we get to

[00:24:28] What ultimately happens

[00:24:30] With the song

[00:24:31] Like them being like

[00:24:32] Hey we all around the world

[00:24:33] Oh yeah

[00:24:33] They meet Jackal for the first time

[00:24:35] And she is late

[00:24:36] And everyone's waiting on her

[00:24:37] And she's so worried

[00:24:39] That it's going to go wrong

[00:24:40] Cause she doesn't

[00:24:41] She's embarrassed by these other girls

[00:24:43] Especially the one with the hot sauce

[00:24:44] That probably isn't expired

[00:24:45] And then when she gets there

[00:24:47] Yeah

[00:24:47] She steps in dog crap

[00:24:48] But they have already sold themselves

[00:24:51] What appears

[00:24:52] Apparently so well

[00:24:53] Right

[00:24:54] And that makes her angry

[00:24:55] Yeah she's trying to get everyone

[00:24:56] To look perfect

[00:24:57] That's right

[00:24:57] Yeah

[00:24:57] She's giving Dorinda a lot of notes

[00:24:59] On how to dress

[00:25:00] She's telling Aqua

[00:25:02] Don't bring that hot sauce up

[00:25:05] Don't bring the hot sauce up

[00:25:06] Don't bring the hot sauce up

[00:25:06] Whatever you do

[00:25:06] Like don't talk about it

[00:25:07] Like he's going to think you're weird

[00:25:08] And yeah

[00:25:09] So Galleria's mom

[00:25:11] And Galleria is mom

[00:25:14] Right

[00:25:15] Galleria is mom

[00:25:16] Show up

[00:25:16] To this pitch meeting

[00:25:19] And then

[00:25:20] She like circles a bunch of things

[00:25:21] Like no

[00:25:22] She's going to the contract

[00:25:22] Like no no no no no

[00:25:23] She red lines the contract on the spot

[00:25:25] Yes

[00:25:26] And

[00:25:27] They just kind of have this

[00:25:28] Like alright

[00:25:29] We're going to have a couple rehearsals

[00:25:30] Which we never see

[00:25:32] But they're going to learn the song

[00:25:33] For a couple of days

[00:25:35] And then they're going to come back

[00:25:36] On Saturday

[00:25:37] And

[00:25:38] Or I guess they don't see the rehearsals

[00:25:40] Because they hear the song

[00:25:41] The next day

[00:25:41] Yeah so you're going to have

[00:25:42] A couple of rehearsals

[00:25:43] We're going to write the song

[00:25:44] You're going to come back on Saturday

[00:25:46] We're going to record it

[00:25:47] Your demo

[00:25:47] And then we're going to sell it

[00:25:48] And you guys are going to make millions

[00:25:50] Right

[00:25:50] And it's going to be

[00:25:51] And it's going to be great

[00:25:52] Yeah and so then

[00:25:53] When you're getting to the song

[00:25:54] The only thing I'm going to mention

[00:25:56] Before that is

[00:25:57] Mom

[00:25:57] Who has been so uptight

[00:25:59] About these girls

[00:26:00] Are 13, 14 years old

[00:26:01] Yeah

[00:26:02] Should not be in a record producer meeting

[00:26:04] Without parental guidance

[00:26:05] She's never around again

[00:26:06] She's like

[00:26:07] I'm going to trust you

[00:26:08] You guys can go to this meeting by yourself

[00:26:10] Yeah

[00:26:11] But also

[00:26:12] She's not another meeting

[00:26:13] The rest of the movie

[00:26:14] Which I

[00:26:15] As a kid I was like

[00:26:16] Yeah

[00:26:16] And now I'm like

[00:26:18] My parents don't know

[00:26:19] Cause I mean

[00:26:21] Parents stop

[00:26:22] I thought they were like

[00:26:23] Older than they were

[00:26:24] Yeah

[00:26:25] When I was watching it as a kid

[00:26:26] I didn't quite put together

[00:26:27] That they were freshmen

[00:26:29] Trying to be the first freshmen

[00:26:29] And so watching it now

[00:26:30] At 34 years old

[00:26:32] I was like

[00:26:32] Is it not illegal?

[00:26:34] It should be

[00:26:35] For those kids to be there

[00:26:36] Without some sort of

[00:26:37] Definitely should be

[00:26:37] Some sort of legal guardian

[00:26:39] In the room

[00:26:40] I mean

[00:26:41] Like

[00:26:42] I don't think it necessarily

[00:26:43] Has to be

[00:26:45] Like a parent

[00:26:46] But like

[00:26:46] There should be

[00:26:48] Some sort of like

[00:26:49] Legal guardian in the room

[00:26:50] Who's looking out for these kids

[00:26:52] Best interests

[00:26:52] Yeah

[00:26:53] So that part was

[00:26:54] That was

[00:26:55] And then there's a bunch of

[00:26:57] Side plots

[00:26:57] I don't know how

[00:26:58] You know

[00:26:59] The movie's an hour 40 long

[00:27:00] There's a whole foster care

[00:27:02] Side plot

[00:27:03] One of the four

[00:27:04] I believe it's Jasmine

[00:27:05] We're not there yet

[00:27:06] Is like

[00:27:06] You know

[00:27:07] There's still no Jasmine

[00:27:08] Okay

[00:27:09] One of them is like

[00:27:10] You know

[00:27:11] Is a foster kid

[00:27:12] Well we're jumping ahead

[00:27:13] Okay

[00:27:13] Well because

[00:27:15] Doesn't that happen before we get to the song

[00:27:16] They want him to sing?

[00:27:19] Oh

[00:27:19] He's saying

[00:27:20] What do you guys

[00:27:21] He wants to jump to the bad song

[00:27:23] I see

[00:27:24] So what happens is

[00:27:25] They go and they do the audition

[00:27:28] Which is a music video

[00:27:30] They do

[00:27:31] Yes

[00:27:31] They record a music video

[00:27:32] Right in front of them

[00:27:33] He's like this is great

[00:27:34] Fantastic

[00:27:36] However

[00:27:36] Bring down the screen

[00:27:37] Screens there in a second

[00:27:38] Screen comes down really fast

[00:27:41] And he shows like

[00:27:41] Here's something that we were thinking

[00:27:43] New song

[00:27:44] Changing the name

[00:27:45] This whole thing

[00:27:45] Girls Gone Global

[00:27:46] What's it called? Global

[00:27:47] Global Get Down

[00:27:48] Global Get Down

[00:27:49] And Brian what's that

[00:27:50] What's that hot song?

[00:27:52] All around the world

[00:27:53] This is all around the world

[00:27:55] We go all around the world

[00:27:57] Where we stop nobody knows

[00:27:59] That's right

[00:28:00] Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

[00:28:02] And also there's like masks involved

[00:28:03] Yeah

[00:28:04] That's weird

[00:28:04] And Galleria is like

[00:28:07] This is messed up

[00:28:08] You said you liked our song

[00:28:09] This is what we're gonna do

[00:28:11] We're walking

[00:28:11] We're walking

[00:28:12] And she goes to walk

[00:28:13] And none of the other cheetahs

[00:28:16] cheaters

[00:28:16] The cheetahs

[00:28:18] Cheetahs

[00:28:18] I can say cheetahs

[00:28:19] I can't say sisters

[00:28:20] Sistas

[00:28:22] You're right

[00:28:22] You can't say either

[00:28:23] I can't say either

[00:28:24] None of the other cheetah girls

[00:28:27] Follow

[00:28:27] They're like

[00:28:28] Yeah yeah yeah

[00:28:28] Let's just maybe hear them out

[00:28:30] And she's like we don't need to hear anything out

[00:28:31] Which I think was

[00:28:33] Yeah

[00:28:33] So going

[00:28:34] We'll quickly go back

[00:28:35] You're right

[00:28:35] Chanel discovers that Dorenda is a foster child

[00:28:40] And is in the foster system

[00:28:42] She is supposed to have a

[00:28:44] You know mother daughter date with her mom

[00:28:46] Her mom blows her off

[00:28:47] To hang out with Luke

[00:28:48] Gives her the credit card

[00:28:50] She shops through the credit card

[00:28:51] She maxes it out

[00:28:53] Mom gets mad

[00:28:54] Yeah

[00:28:54] There's all of these characters

[00:28:56] Yeah

[00:28:56] Aside from the one from the south

[00:28:58] Who likes the hot sauce

[00:28:59] Yeah we never see her family

[00:29:00] No the other three have a pretty significant back story

[00:29:03] Yes

[00:29:04] That is told in the movie

[00:29:05] Yeah

[00:29:06] But not the fourth member

[00:29:08] And so the girls basically just wanted

[00:29:10] To have a moment to talk about this opportunity

[00:29:13] Yeah

[00:29:14] Being like well what if we took this

[00:29:16] Got our names out there

[00:29:18] And then after an album or two

[00:29:21] Got to do our own thing

[00:29:23] This man wants to put her song on the radio

[00:29:24] And so Galleria just wants to walk

[00:29:27] And so she leaves the room

[00:29:28] And the girls are like

[00:29:29] I guess we're gonna hear him out

[00:29:31] That's right

[00:29:32] We wanna hear where the opportunity is

[00:29:34] And honestly

[00:29:35] Why do you even need a back story

[00:29:36] You have hot sauce

[00:29:37] You have hot sauce in the back

[00:29:39] I don't know why

[00:29:39] You're from Texas

[00:29:40] That's all you need

[00:29:41] You don't need a back story

[00:29:41] I wonder if

[00:29:43] Because I

[00:29:43] Hot sauce is family

[00:29:45] Galleria's mom

[00:29:46] Hot sauce is family

[00:29:49] In reading about like

[00:29:50] The book to movie adaptation

[00:29:54] Aqua's character in the book

[00:29:56] Is a twin

[00:29:56] So the girl

[00:29:57] Cheetah Girls has five

[00:29:59] Oh

[00:30:00] Which is why

[00:30:01] That's the Tia Tamera thing

[00:30:02] That's the Tia Tamera

[00:30:03] Yes

[00:30:05] And so then they

[00:30:06] They couldn't

[00:30:06] Like Tia Tamera weren't gonna do it

[00:30:08] And then they couldn't find twins

[00:30:09] That they thought really fit

[00:30:10] So they dropped it down to one

[00:30:12] And I wonder if they also just like

[00:30:13] Cut any back story she had in the book

[00:30:15] They were just like

[00:30:16] We don't have time to rewrite her whole story

[00:30:17] So she's just

[00:30:18] Hot sauce is family

[00:30:20] Hot sauce is family

[00:30:21] Hot sauce

[00:30:21] Hot sauce is family

[00:30:23] Hey guys

[00:30:24] We're running out of time

[00:30:25] We don't have anything

[00:30:26] What about hot sauce?

[00:30:27] What do we do?

[00:30:28] Good

[00:30:28] It could be the family

[00:30:29] We're already at an hour forty

[00:30:30] We're already there

[00:30:31] Just give her some hot sauce

[00:30:33] And call it a day

[00:30:33] September of 22 guys

[00:30:34] Not September of this year

[00:30:36] That would have been crazy

[00:30:37] Or even last year

[00:30:38] No

[00:30:38] That's right

[00:30:39] Two plus

[00:30:40] Yes

[00:30:41] With garlic and parm in there

[00:30:46] So Galleria

[00:30:47] Whatever

[00:30:48] Is mom

[00:30:49] And Galleria

[00:30:50] Is now

[00:30:52] She's gone

[00:30:53] She's no longer

[00:30:54] Cheetah girl

[00:30:55] She tells her mom

[00:30:56] Can you just not say

[00:30:56] She was a cheetah girl

[00:30:57] She said see you later girls

[00:30:59] That's right

[00:30:59] And it's just really sad

[00:31:01] And is bummed

[00:31:02] And doesn't know what to do

[00:31:05] And she's walking down the street

[00:31:07] None of the girls are really talking right now

[00:31:08] None of them are talking

[00:31:09] She is on the street

[00:31:10] And she sees a promo for

[00:31:12] The Girls Gone

[00:31:13] The Global Get Down

[00:31:14] Global Get Down

[00:31:15] Global Get Down

[00:31:16] Girls Gone Global Get Down

[00:31:17] It's definitely not Girls Gone anything

[00:31:19] Okay

[00:31:20] We need to put

[00:31:21] I need to put it out there

[00:31:22] It's not

[00:31:22] Should we talk about why that's the first thing on your mind right now?

[00:31:24] Global Get Down

[00:31:26] There's a podcast called Girls Gone Hallmark

[00:31:28] That we literally have on our network

[00:31:30] That's right

[00:31:30] Sure

[00:31:31] That's right

[00:31:31] You emailed them this morning about an invoice

[00:31:33] If you were

[00:31:33] I got proof man

[00:31:34] Yeah

[00:31:35] I just follow Dan

[00:31:37] I don't have any thoughts of my own

[00:31:40] Oh man

[00:31:41] So the Global Get Down

[00:31:43] She sees a promo for the Global Get Down

[00:31:45] But they're wearing masks you know

[00:31:47] So she's like oh my gosh

[00:31:48] Don't the other three girls go back

[00:31:49] Or like they look and there's all these other girl groups

[00:31:51] That they were also auditioning for

[00:31:53] Yeah so when they leave

[00:31:53] We're doing a great job of the chronological order of this movie

[00:31:55] Yeah you can tell that

[00:31:57] Anyway

[00:31:58] Anyway

[00:31:58] There's a lot of music videos and singing

[00:32:00] A lot of singing

[00:32:01] Throughout this film

[00:32:02] And then the plot is there too sometimes

[00:32:05] But when the other three

[00:32:06] Chanel, Aqua, and Dorinda are leaving the meeting

[00:32:09] Right

[00:32:09] They see that there are dozens of other girl groups in the lobby

[00:32:13] So they're kind of like

[00:32:15] We weren't that special

[00:32:16] This is a New York call

[00:32:17] And we're not that special

[00:32:17] But it's like

[00:32:18] Yeah

[00:32:18] You know kind of like

[00:32:19] Should we take this

[00:32:20] Because there's clearly like

[00:32:21] If we don't someone else will

[00:32:22] Yeah

[00:32:23] Yes

[00:32:23] And Jekyll also tells us

[00:32:25] When Galleria leaves

[00:32:27] He's just like that's okay

[00:32:28] We'll just get another one

[00:32:29] And they're like what do you mean

[00:32:30] He's just like well we'll get a fourth girl to throw in here

[00:32:32] And the girls are kind of like

[00:32:34] Whoa

[00:32:34] This is not what we wanted

[00:32:36] So there's that

[00:32:37] Then yeah we have the like

[00:32:40] I mean I guess right before that too

[00:32:42] We get more of Galleria being a B

[00:32:45] Because she decides for the group

[00:32:46] That they're gonna just skip the talent show altogether

[00:32:49] There's also

[00:32:49] One of them is working for hours at the play

[00:32:53] Like teaching dance

[00:32:55] Dorinda

[00:32:55] Dorinda works as a janitor at the community center

[00:32:58] To get

[00:32:58] Do you do one of these?

[00:33:00] Is that what you did?

[00:33:01] To earn like dance lessons

[00:33:03] The center is closed

[00:33:06] And because they're having auditions for like a dance tour

[00:33:10] So they're like hey come help us run it

[00:33:12] And we'll credit you for your lessons

[00:33:15] But she ends up getting a job offer

[00:33:16] So

[00:33:18] A lot is happening

[00:33:19] These 13, 14 year old girls are having a lot happen

[00:33:21] Yeah

[00:33:21] On this big week of their lives

[00:33:23] Yeah

[00:33:23] Where we could potentially have a record deal

[00:33:25] Without Galleria

[00:33:26] But Dorinda could go on tour

[00:33:28] Which as I'm saying out loud right now

[00:33:30] I'm reminding myself that she's 13, 14

[00:33:32] And I have questions about how that works

[00:33:34] During the school year

[00:33:35] Galleria's mom

[00:33:37] I mean not unheard of

[00:33:38] But I just feel like there's a lot going on there

[00:33:40] So much

[00:33:41] So much happening

[00:33:42] In this seven day period

[00:33:43] The best way to view this movie

[00:33:45] Is a very heightened reality

[00:33:47] Like a very different plane of existence

[00:33:49] Where if you question any of the logistics

[00:33:52] You will be taking an exit ramp real quick

[00:33:55] That is where my brain is at right now

[00:33:57] Is I'm trying to piece it all together

[00:33:59] In a logical

[00:34:00] You're fighting with your 13 year old self

[00:34:02] Right now

[00:34:02] Going but it's good

[00:34:04] I know it's good

[00:34:05] I watched it

[00:34:06] It was good

[00:34:07] Well can we talk about

[00:34:08] What is good

[00:34:09] And that is Toto

[00:34:11] Toto is good

[00:34:19] It's probably good

[00:34:19] This is our last episode of the year

[00:34:22] The dog's lost out on the street

[00:34:24] We just got it going

[00:34:25] He got stuck in a hole

[00:34:27] Oh no they're trying to get it

[00:34:29] Dog in a hole?

[00:34:30] I know right

[00:34:31] It's a dog in a hole

[00:34:32] So anyway Galleria is on the street

[00:34:34] She sees the global get down ad

[00:34:35] She goes oh my gosh

[00:34:36] They took the deal

[00:34:38] And in that moment of shock

[00:34:41] Toto runs away

[00:34:42] And Galleria is momentarily not paying attention

[00:34:45] And Toto is

[00:34:47] For a dog that loves Galleria more than anybody else in the world

[00:34:50] Takes off like

[00:34:51] That dog can be beat every day

[00:34:53] That dog is

[00:34:54] Yes

[00:34:54] Out of here

[00:34:55] Now Toto does

[00:34:57] As Dan mentioned via the song

[00:34:59] Does go in a hole

[00:35:02] Is that a dog in a hole?

[00:35:03] I didn't just mention it

[00:35:04] I mentioned it via the song

[00:35:06] We got a dog in a hole

[00:35:07] And dog is now stuck in a hole

[00:35:10] There's nothing we can do

[00:35:11] Is you know like

[00:35:12] Is like pinned up against something

[00:35:14] Yep

[00:35:14] Can't shimmy its way out

[00:35:16] And so the new

[00:35:18] This is big news

[00:35:19] New York City not a lot happened

[00:35:21] Yeah not like a hat goes on in the city

[00:35:22] They get

[00:35:22] The news cameras come

[00:35:24] It happens to be on the street outside the high school

[00:35:25] Oh it's perfect

[00:35:26] That's right

[00:35:26] Where Jackal Johnson walks everyday

[00:35:28] That's exactly right

[00:35:29] So the news begins to cover this whole thing right

[00:35:33] And everybody's going nuts about it

[00:35:37] While this is going on

[00:35:38] The talent show is going on

[00:35:39] Yep

[00:35:40] And Alley Cat Strike is up there performing

[00:35:44] Doing his

[00:35:45] Doing his thing

[00:35:46] And the

[00:35:47] That is what he's doing

[00:35:48] Yeah

[00:35:49] That's his like one lyric in the song

[00:35:51] He's doing his thing

[00:35:52] My DJ's gonna do his thing

[00:35:53] That's right

[00:35:53] And so all

[00:35:55] Come on

[00:35:55] Come on

[00:35:57] Come on

[00:35:57] Come on

[00:35:59] That's pretty much the

[00:36:00] That's really good stuff guys

[00:36:00] That's literally the whole song

[00:36:02] So all the Cheetah Girls are in their various places and they see it

[00:36:07] Yeah

[00:36:07] And they all come

[00:36:08] Oh my gosh

[00:36:09] What is really special is this is the day of the talent show

[00:36:12] They are no longer at the record studio recording a demo

[00:36:16] But they've already agreed that they're skipping the talent show

[00:36:19] But they're all wearing their brand new costumes

[00:36:21] Of course

[00:36:22] For the dance

[00:36:22] Yeah

[00:36:24] They all need tracksuits

[00:36:25] So they all show up

[00:36:26] Yeah they all show up in their different colored cheetah print tracksuits

[00:36:29] That's right

[00:36:29] Yeah

[00:36:29] And they begin to sing because one of the things that Toto does when the cheetah girls are singing is

[00:36:36] He dances

[00:36:36] He shakes his little body

[00:36:37] That's right

[00:36:38] And so before they request this they have to like shut down the power so that they can get

[00:36:48] The power shuts down

[00:36:49] Yeah

[00:36:49] So the talent shows over

[00:36:50] Well they think they're gonna have to cut into the street

[00:36:53] That's right

[00:36:53] And so before you start cutting into the street

[00:36:56] There's nothing going on in Manhattan

[00:36:57] You should cut down the power which turns the power out as the talent show

[00:37:01] So everybody just kinda comes out

[00:37:02] And everyone just pours out and adds more congestion to this already

[00:37:05] Congested Manhattan street

[00:37:07] Congested street

[00:37:07] That's right

[00:37:08] Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:37:08] This is all happening in one week gang

[00:37:10] Yeah

[00:37:10] So they begin to sing

[00:37:12] And most of this movie takes place in like one day

[00:37:14] Oh

[00:37:14] And the firefighters are like faster sing faster

[00:37:17] Which I don't know

[00:37:18] Like it is the

[00:37:20] Toto's like I'm doing my best

[00:37:22] If I could get a little more Christmas spirit

[00:37:24] Toto's shake is in relation to the street

[00:37:27] Speed of the song

[00:37:28] Yeah

[00:37:29] So they have to start singing faster

[00:37:30] Even though they don't really sing much faster

[00:37:32] But ultimately it does work

[00:37:34] And Toto is free

[00:37:38] That's right

[00:37:38] And that's at this point the gallery is like

[00:37:40] Yeah I guess y'all better get back and do your global get down

[00:37:42] And they're like what global get down

[00:37:44] We would never

[00:37:45] That doesn't happen then

[00:37:46] No it's very

[00:37:47] You take over apparently I don't know

[00:37:49] Okay here's what happens

[00:37:49] Forget

[00:37:50] I didn't watch the end of this movie

[00:37:51] Forget

[00:37:52] That's the part

[00:37:53] Actually I only watched the end of this movie

[00:37:55] So you know there's an ambulance there checking out Toto I guess

[00:38:01] And the girls are all starting to like go their separate ways

[00:38:04] And Galleria is like this is my moment to make an apology to my friends

[00:38:09] But instead of saying she's sorry

[00:38:10] Because she's talking to Derek at one point about how like I know I was right to walk away from Jackal and his deal

[00:38:17] And Derek hits her with this truth bomb of well were you right to walk away from your friends

[00:38:22] That's right

[00:38:23] That's right

[00:38:24] So she gets up there

[00:38:26] And somewhere we get a piano and I don't know

[00:38:29] She whispers to Derek

[00:38:31] Yeah

[00:38:31] She's like I need

[00:38:32] She said basically

[00:38:33] I need you to help me with something

[00:38:34] That's right

[00:38:35] There's a piano playing

[00:38:36] There's a piano solo and she gets up there and starts singing and you're like where's the piano is it Derek

[00:38:40] No cause don't worry he's on guitar

[00:38:42] Yeah he's shredding

[00:38:43] So still

[00:38:45] 13 year old me did not care

[00:38:47] And the song has so much guitar too

[00:38:47] 34 year old me does want to know where that piano is

[00:38:49] Of course

[00:38:51] But she starts singing and almost immediately Dorinda and Aqua join in

[00:38:57] That's right

[00:38:57] Chanel takes a minute

[00:38:59] Because she and Galleria have been friends the longest

[00:39:02] She's the most hurt

[00:39:03] But she eventually joins and then we get an amazing

[00:39:09] Amazing music video on the streets of Manhattan

[00:39:12] Cheetah Girls Cheetah Sisters

[00:39:15] The local construction and police officers and firefighters are backup dancers

[00:39:20] We are dancing on taxis

[00:39:22] It is phenomenal

[00:39:23] If you have not seen this movie

[00:39:25] Maybe don't

[00:39:26] Skip to the end and watch the video

[00:39:28] Do Google the Cheetah Girls Cheetah Sisters music video

[00:39:32] It's phenomenal

[00:39:32] It is art

[00:39:33] It was the coolest thing 13 year old me had seen

[00:39:37] Though I'm realizing I was 12 at the time because my birthday was a week later

[00:39:40] But anyway

[00:39:40] Shout out

[00:39:41] I know shout out to my birthday

[00:39:44] Anyway so that's great

[00:39:45] Then we go back into the talent show

[00:39:47] Right on the stage where everyone had been performing

[00:39:50] Is a small little table with some fruit punch

[00:39:53] The girls gather around

[00:39:54] Get their little cups of fruit punch

[00:39:58] And Galleria basically is like

[00:40:00] Can we still be friends even though you guys are going to be global get down

[00:40:04] And they're like we didn't take that deal

[00:40:06] We let other dumb girls take that deal

[00:40:10] And then I think they hug

[00:40:12] Yeah

[00:40:13] Oh and we forgot

[00:40:14] Right at the end of the Phenomenal music video

[00:40:17] Derek and Galleria kiss

[00:40:18] Yeah of course

[00:40:19] And we will 100% see him again

[00:40:21] Yeah

[00:40:23] Alec has strike

[00:40:25] He struck

[00:40:26] He struck but he will not strike again

[00:40:29] Let's do this

[00:40:30] Let's take a quick break

[00:40:31] We'll come back

[00:40:31] We'll talk about some reviews

[00:40:33] Give our reviews

[00:40:34] And then make the list

[00:40:35] Here on

[00:40:36] Decom Descendants

[00:40:38] Thank you Aaron

[00:40:38] We'll be once

[00:40:40] We'll be once

[00:40:48] Welcome back everybody

[00:40:50] It's Decom Descendants

[00:40:51] It's Cheetah Girls Week

[00:40:53] It's the final episode of 2024

[00:40:54] And we're having a good time

[00:40:56] Oh and Decom stands for

[00:40:59] Overtime

[00:40:59] Yeah it does

[00:41:00] How did the movie age over time

[00:41:02] We're going to talk about

[00:41:03] I do have some letterbox reviews

[00:41:04] Love this

[00:41:05] If you would like them

[00:41:06] Allison says

[00:41:07] No shade or disrespect

[00:41:08] But if I'm watching this at home

[00:41:11] On the news

[00:41:12] That a dog fell in a hole

[00:41:14] And then these teen girls

[00:41:16] In matching velour track suits

[00:41:19] Started doing a whole performance

[00:41:21] For the huge crowd

[00:41:23] That had somehow gathered

[00:41:24] My thought wouldn't be

[00:41:26] Oh they're so talented

[00:41:27] I would be like

[00:41:28] Oh they planted this

[00:41:29] They threw the dog in the hole

[00:41:31] Yeah

[00:41:32] Fair Allison

[00:41:33] Fair

[00:41:36] Sienna

[00:41:37] Yeah I would say that

[00:41:38] If you took a shot every time

[00:41:40] Someone said girl

[00:41:41] You'd be cheetah dead

[00:41:45] Aaron

[00:41:46] Aaron

[00:41:46] That doesn't even make any sense

[00:41:47] But I'm here for it

[00:41:48] Aaron said two stars

[00:41:49] Raven Simone

[00:41:52] Hospitalized after carrying the cheetah girls

[00:41:54] Oh

[00:41:56] Thyla

[00:41:57] I don't know

[00:41:58] Sure

[00:41:59] Fila

[00:41:59] Cheetah fact

[00:42:00] There is a single scene

[00:42:02] Where they refer to a little boy

[00:42:04] As Chanel's brother

[00:42:06] Yes

[00:42:06] But he is never seen again

[00:42:08] True story

[00:42:08] In this movie

[00:42:09] Or any other

[00:42:11] She is famously

[00:42:13] An only child

[00:42:14] Yeah

[00:42:15] In like all three

[00:42:15] And so

[00:42:16] I'm gonna check out the first book

[00:42:18] And see what happens there

[00:42:19] It's wild

[00:42:19] Maybe there is like more cut scenes

[00:42:21] Where they hadn't included a brother

[00:42:23] What a goof

[00:42:23] And then just thought no do

[00:42:24] What a goof

[00:42:25] And last

[00:42:26] Corey says two and a half stars

[00:42:27] She's real for carrying a bottle of hot sauce everywhere

[00:42:30] Let's share our thoughts on this movie

[00:42:32] And how it aged over time

[00:42:32] Aaron

[00:42:34] I think it's pretty clear this movie meant a lot

[00:42:36] Yeah

[00:42:37] Yeah

[00:42:37] This is what we're here for

[00:42:39] But here you are now

[00:42:39] Does it still

[00:42:41] Where are you putting it

[00:42:41] How are you not

[00:42:42] Where are you putting it

[00:42:43] We'll do that a little bit

[00:42:44] Very distinctly remember is going to the limited two and purchasing the CD

[00:42:48] Yeah

[00:42:49] There was only at sale at a clothing store

[00:42:51] No I just remember like

[00:42:55] Oh that's our coffee maker

[00:42:56] I was like what is beeping

[00:42:58] I just remember shopping there for something with my friends and seeing it at the register

[00:43:01] And I was like yeah

[00:43:02] Impulse buy

[00:43:03] Impulse buy for sure

[00:43:04] I'm gonna

[00:43:05] Little treat

[00:43:05] You can get the music on CD

[00:43:08] Oh my gosh

[00:43:09] Life changing

[00:43:10] Can carry it with me wherever I go

[00:43:11] Wherever I go on my compact disc player

[00:43:12] Compact disc

[00:43:13] Yeah

[00:43:13] Life changing

[00:43:15] I still know every word into all of these songs

[00:43:17] Yeah you do

[00:43:19] Even the ones that aren't sung by the Cheetah Girls on the soundtrack

[00:43:21] Still know all of them

[00:43:22] Big hit

[00:43:26] The plot of this movie

[00:43:29] I have so many questions about as a 34 year old woman

[00:43:33] Um

[00:43:34] Doesn't hold up

[00:43:35] The way that their cheerleader me thought it did

[00:43:37] I thought this movie was flawless

[00:43:39] Um

[00:43:40] No notes

[00:43:42] So many questions

[00:43:43] Um

[00:43:44] So many notes

[00:43:45] Could we maybe write a song

[00:43:46] Also like I did listen to the soundtrack the morning that we watched the movie

[00:43:49] And listening to the songs back to back to back

[00:43:52] I realized that they're all about girl power

[00:43:55] That's right

[00:43:55] Which not a negative

[00:43:57] No

[00:43:58] However we love girl power

[00:43:59] But like could we write a different song

[00:44:02] Yeah

[00:44:02] Um

[00:44:04] And also a note for Cheetah Girls too

[00:44:07] Like maybe a song that's not just about how we're friends

[00:44:09] Cause we get it

[00:44:10] You're friends

[00:44:10] You're the Cheetah Girls

[00:44:12] I don't know so

[00:44:15] Yeah I guess my thought process now is I'm gonna go read the books and see if there's anything

[00:44:19] Different in there that makes more sense that I could then apply to the movie

[00:44:22] But the movie

[00:44:24] Yeah

[00:44:25] Not as great as I

[00:44:26] Well I'm sorry

[00:44:27] I hate that for you

[00:44:29] Sorry

[00:44:30] Um

[00:44:31] I think it's a little

[00:44:33] Cinderella

[00:44:38] Cool

[00:44:39] I thought I crushed that

[00:44:40] I thought you were gonna have fun

[00:44:42] I thought it was gonna be a moment

[00:44:43] But it wasn't

[00:44:44] I was just waiting for any lyric to kick in

[00:44:46] I didn't know it

[00:44:47] I just know Cinderella

[00:44:48] Sitting in a dark blue dusty cellar

[00:44:51] There it is

[00:44:51] Waiting for somebody

[00:44:53] To come and see

[00:44:54] This movie is a turd

[00:44:55] This movie is a turd

[00:44:57] And you know what

[00:44:58] What happened is

[00:45:00] I'm sorry

[00:45:01] I knew

[00:45:01] You know

[00:45:02] I had seen this movie

[00:45:04] Before

[00:45:05] And you know

[00:45:06] I

[00:45:08] 11 years old

[00:45:09] I know about

[00:45:09] The Cheetah Girls

[00:45:11] And the hype around Cheetah Girls

[00:45:12] And I was like this is a big movie

[00:45:14] And I couldn't figure out

[00:45:16] Leading up to this

[00:45:17] Like why

[00:45:18] Why had I never gone back to Cheetah Girls

[00:45:20] Like why

[00:45:21] Why not run back

[00:45:22] Why was this not a rewatched movie for me

[00:45:24] And then I figured it out

[00:45:26] It's cause it's a turd

[00:45:27] It's a giant turd

[00:45:28] With good songs

[00:45:30] The songs are bops

[00:45:31] And the song

[00:45:32] Without the songs

[00:45:34] This movie is real

[00:45:36] Real

[00:45:37] Real bad

[00:45:39] But the songs

[00:45:39] Can trick you

[00:45:42] Into thinking that this movie is better than it is

[00:45:44] But it

[00:45:44] It is not

[00:45:45] It's also a

[00:45:46] An odd movie

[00:45:47] Because the

[00:45:49] There's

[00:45:49] It's

[00:45:50] It's like this New York movie

[00:45:51] And there's so many different characters

[00:45:53] And none of them are mic'd

[00:45:55] It's just like

[00:45:57] What's happening

[00:45:58] The dialogue is like

[00:45:59] They have so much that they want to get to

[00:46:02] And they're

[00:46:03] They're talking quickly

[00:46:05] And in order for that to come through to the viewer

[00:46:08] You have to mic the people up

[00:46:10] And there's so many scenes where you're like leaning in

[00:46:13] And you're like

[00:46:14] I think I'm picking up most of this conversation

[00:46:18] And

[00:46:18] But we had the captions on and that's

[00:46:21] That was helpful

[00:46:22] But it was a really weirdly

[00:46:25] Mixed movie

[00:46:26] It was hard to hear a lot of different things

[00:46:29] And then you have these music videos inside of the movie itself

[00:46:34] And again the songs are great

[00:46:36] So

[00:46:37] I think also just like now that

[00:46:39] We're like adults

[00:46:40] And know about how hard

[00:46:43] Disney Channel pushed their stars like Raven-Symone and Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato to the point of exhaustion overall

[00:46:52] Overworking them

[00:46:52] Taking advantage of them

[00:46:54] Exploiting them

[00:46:56] This movie also

[00:46:57] Just kind of like

[00:46:59] Here's a movie about what all of the people that come after this should have done

[00:47:03] But did not do

[00:47:04] Walk away

[00:47:05] By walking away from Big Bad Disney

[00:47:07] True

[00:47:07] But here we are

[00:47:09] So a miss for brand unfortunately

[00:47:11] Yeah I will say I just did a quick search of the DCOMs that I own

[00:47:15] And this is not one of them

[00:47:16] And that should have been a clue for me

[00:47:20] Dan?

[00:47:21] Yeah

[00:47:21] Are you a cheetah girl?

[00:47:22] I will say this

[00:47:23] It breaks my heart to tell you that this movie sucks

[00:47:27] It is

[00:47:27] This movie is terrible

[00:47:31] And I know

[00:47:32] I had heard the name of this movie before

[00:47:35] Which tells me that it means a lot to a lot of people

[00:47:38] But make no mistake

[00:47:40] It is a garbage movie

[00:47:42] And I feel pretty confident

[00:47:46] If I had watched it when it had come out

[00:47:49] And I was 20 years old

[00:47:51] I would have told you it was garbage

[00:47:52] Had I watched it at 10

[00:47:53] I probably would have also told you it's garbage

[00:47:56] The thing about this

[00:47:58] And the reason I hate that is

[00:47:59] One

[00:47:59] There is a lot of great representation here

[00:48:02] You have got

[00:48:02] An interracial couple

[00:48:05] You are dealing pretty well with foster kids

[00:48:09] And with kids of different types

[00:48:11] And all across the racial spectrum

[00:48:13] Working together

[00:48:14] There is a lot of girl power anthems in this movie

[00:48:17] There is a lot of reasons that I want this movie to be good

[00:48:20] And I am happy that people like it

[00:48:22] But make no mistake

[00:48:24] Unlike even like Double Team

[00:48:26] Or of course Motocross

[00:48:29] But all these other movies

[00:48:30] Even the one with the racing

[00:48:32] Not the bike race

[00:48:34] Right on track?

[00:48:34] Yeah, right on track

[00:48:34] Like this movie absolutely could not care less about making sense at all

[00:48:43] It is a movie that is better as like a fever dream

[00:48:47] It's better as one long music video

[00:48:50] The acting uniformly across the board is terrible in this movie

[00:48:54] Like Raven-Symoné is at an 11 of 10

[00:48:58] And she's probably the best that we have in this movie

[00:49:00] I think everyone else is kind of terrible

[00:49:03] I think the writing's bad

[00:49:05] I think the direction's bad unless it's a music video

[00:49:07] There's not a lot here to point

[00:49:10] The only thing I will say is

[00:49:11] Is there's 10 or 12 DCOMs that are like actively bad

[00:49:15] This is a movie that thinks it's good and just happens to suck

[00:49:18] And so it isn't at the very bottom of my list

[00:49:22] But holy cow is this a bad movie

[00:49:25] And I hate that

[00:49:26] I hate it for your younger self

[00:49:28] But it's not good gang

[00:49:30] It just is bad

[00:49:32] It's a bad movie and it should not be watched by anyone

[00:49:35] It has no redeeming value for me at all

[00:49:37] I don't think anyone

[00:49:38] I wouldn't recommend anyone watch this

[00:49:39] Music's great though

[00:49:40] You like the music

[00:49:41] That is a great segue into my making the list

[00:49:44] I love it

[00:49:46] What's gonna happen Erin?

[00:49:48] I ranked this movie and thought real hard about where it was gonna go on this list

[00:49:53] I've gone back to it several times

[00:49:55] And I think this movie might be my brink because it's premiering in my top 10

[00:49:59] Holy hell

[00:50:02] Holy hell

[00:50:04] I didn't see it coming Erin

[00:50:06] Erin

[00:50:07] There is

[00:50:08] After your overtime

[00:50:09] I just have a like

[00:50:11] I mean

[00:50:13] As we move on and watch more movies

[00:50:16] I'll probably move down and adjust it

[00:50:17] But right now

[00:50:19] I would rather watch this movie

[00:50:21] Also how dare you compared to brink

[00:50:23] I said it's my brink

[00:50:25] Still how dare you

[00:50:27] Brink has like a basic qualitative

[00:50:30] You know hurdle it clears

[00:50:32] Well we'll see

[00:50:33] Unbelievable

[00:50:33] Anyway

[00:50:34] Is it 10 or is it higher Erin?

[00:50:39] It's one

[00:50:41] It's in my top 10

[00:50:42] It's starting to scare me

[00:50:44] Where does it premiere?

[00:50:45] You'll find out

[00:50:46] Okay to what movie got kicked out?

[00:50:49] Scream Team

[00:50:49] God almighty

[00:50:51] I don't know if we can talk anymore

[00:50:54] I don't know if we can have like even just acquaintance conversations

[00:50:57] Yeah

[00:50:59] Number 10

[00:51:00] Miracle on lane 2

[00:51:01] Number 9

[00:51:02] Get a clue

[00:51:03] Oh my god

[00:51:05] It's better than get a clue

[00:51:08] Yes

[00:51:08] No

[00:51:12] I'm sorry

[00:51:13] Number 8

[00:51:14] Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off

[00:51:15] Number 7

[00:51:16] The Cheetah Girls

[00:51:17] Number 6

[00:51:18] Fan with a Megaplex

[00:51:19] 5

[00:51:19] Smart House

[00:51:20] 4

[00:51:20] Johnny Tsunami

[00:51:21] 3

[00:51:21] Right on Track

[00:51:22] 2

[00:51:22] Cadet Kelly

[00:51:23] 1

[00:51:23] Motocross

[00:51:25] I am who I am guys

[00:51:28] That's ahead of Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off

[00:51:30] Yeah

[00:51:31] Yes

[00:51:31] I stand by that because

[00:51:33] No

[00:51:34] The lessons in Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off are great

[00:51:36] But if you're telling me that I have

[00:51:38] I'm sitting down on a Friday night

[00:51:40] Got a bowl of popcorn

[00:51:41] And my choices are

[00:51:42] Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off

[00:51:43] Or Cheetah Girls

[00:51:44] I am choosing Cheetah Girls

[00:51:45] Still

[00:51:46] After your viewing yesterday

[00:51:47] Or whenever we watched it

[00:51:48] Wow

[00:51:49] Because it's a musical basically

[00:51:51] Oh dear god

[00:51:52] I'm gonna choose something that has catchy songs

[00:51:55] Over a baseball movie

[00:51:58] 99 out of our times

[00:51:59] It's not a baseball movie though

[00:52:00] It's as much a cooking movie as a baseball movie

[00:52:03] Oh my gosh

[00:52:04] This hurts

[00:52:05] Yeah good

[00:52:06] I think the uh

[00:52:07] You know what also hurt?

[00:52:09] What's that?

[00:52:09] It's almost like I cleaned the office really well

[00:52:12] And then the next morning

[00:52:13] The first words out of someone's mouth were

[00:52:15] I thought you said you were gonna clean

[00:52:16] It was a joke that I

[00:52:18] I don't know

[00:52:18] I clearly was wrong

[00:52:19] I apologize

[00:52:20] I was wrong

[00:52:20] Whatever

[00:52:21] And then the next day I walked into work

[00:52:23] And got blamed for the internet being out

[00:52:25] Yeah

[00:52:26] It was poorly timed

[00:52:27] And so I'm not apologizing for this

[00:52:28] I am who I am

[00:52:29] And I stand by it

[00:52:29] And Dan can kick rocks

[00:52:32] Who do you think is gonna have Cheetah Girls lower on their list?

[00:52:35] Me or Dan?

[00:52:36] I think

[00:52:37] Well I can't go

[00:52:38] Who do you think is gonna have lower?

[00:52:42] I was surprised you said top 10

[00:52:43] I know

[00:52:43] I was shocked

[00:52:44] I thought

[00:52:45] When you started that whole like

[00:52:47] This one broke me

[00:52:48] Yes

[00:52:48] I thought you were gonna be like

[00:52:49] I thought your list was gonna be like

[00:52:51] I thought this was top 10

[00:52:52] But the sentimental value gets into my top 20

[00:52:55] That's what I thought was happening

[00:52:56] The sentimental value

[00:52:59] I think I'm gonna get away from it

[00:53:01] Much like how I rank a Hallmark movie

[00:53:03] Yeah

[00:53:03] You know Death of the Walls isn't gonna stay

[00:53:05] My number one

[00:53:05] Yeah

[00:53:07] But

[00:53:09] Who's gonna have it lower?

[00:53:10] Like before re-watching it

[00:53:11] I would have told you this movie was a top 3

[00:53:14] Wow

[00:53:14] So having it at 7 is a pretty big deal

[00:53:17] It's

[00:53:18] It felt low for me

[00:53:19] Yeah

[00:53:19] And I know

[00:53:21] It's gonna drop down

[00:53:22] And I think even as we

[00:53:24] Like I don't see it when we get to the end of this

[00:53:26] It being in my top 20

[00:53:27] But right now it's where it is

[00:53:29] Yeah

[00:53:29] Fair

[00:53:30] Fair

[00:53:31] I

[00:53:33] Would normally say Dan

[00:53:37] But I

[00:53:37] I think Bran might have it lower

[00:53:39] All right

[00:53:39] Okay

[00:53:40] All right

[00:53:40] Let's find out

[00:53:41] I have the Cheetah Girls premiering at 35

[00:53:44] I have a premiere at 35

[00:53:46] Smack dab in the middle

[00:53:48] Between the 13th year and jumping ship

[00:53:52] I have it premiering at 31

[00:53:54] See

[00:53:55] All right

[00:53:56] I said Bran was gonna have it lower

[00:53:57] I've got it right

[00:53:58] Two spots behind jumping ship

[00:54:00] Well and then

[00:54:00] One spot ahead of Halloween town

[00:54:02] Two Calabar's Revenge

[00:54:05] So mine is in between

[00:54:06] Alley Cat Strike and Halloween town

[00:54:07] And it might be better than Alley Cats

[00:54:09] I could maybe go 30

[00:54:10] Oh hey hey hey hey hey hey hey guy

[00:54:13] I think the music video sequences

[00:54:15] And how they're shot

[00:54:16] Maybe make it better than Alley Cats

[00:54:17] Maybe

[00:54:17] I'll go 30

[00:54:19] Don't forget about Sweet Lou

[00:54:20] It's

[00:54:20] Whatever his name was

[00:54:21] Yeah it's 30

[00:54:22] It's 30

[00:54:23] I have it at 30

[00:54:24] In between Alley Cats and jumping ship

[00:54:26] I hold fast at 35

[00:54:28] You wanna look at your top 10

[00:54:30] 10

[00:54:30] Phantom

[00:54:31] 9

[00:54:31] Mom's Got a Date

[00:54:32] 8

[00:54:32] Luck of the Irish

[00:54:33] 7

[00:54:33] Smart House

[00:54:34] 6

[00:54:35] Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off

[00:54:36] 5

[00:54:37] Cadet Kelly

[00:54:38] 4

[00:54:39] Get a Clue

[00:54:45] 4

[00:54:47] 5

[00:54:52] 5

[00:54:57] 3

[00:54:58] 4

[00:55:00] 5

[00:55:01] 5

[00:55:01] 6

[00:55:03] 6

[00:55:06] 5

[00:55:08] 5

[00:55:09] 5

[00:55:11] 5

[00:55:11] 5

[00:55:11] 5

[00:55:12] 5

[00:55:12] 5

[00:55:13] 5

[00:55:21] 6

[00:55:21] 6

[00:55:22] 6

[00:55:22] 6

[00:55:22] 6

[00:55:31] 7

[00:55:33] 7

[00:55:34] 7

[00:55:49] 8

[00:55:49] 8

[00:55:51] 9

[00:55:51] 9

[00:55:51] 9

[00:55:51] 10

[00:55:51] 7

[00:55:57] 8

[00:55:58] 8

[00:55:59] 10

[00:56:01] 10

[00:56:03] 10

[00:56:14] 10

[00:56:15] 10

[00:56:17] 11

[00:56:18] 10

[00:56:18] 11

[00:56:19] 2

[00:56:20] list where we average the

[00:56:22] place. So like that

[00:56:24] means you and I probably need to put Brink a little lower

[00:56:26] to make sure it doesn't end up in the top ten.

[00:56:29] We can't work

[00:56:30] in cahoots here.

[00:56:32] I'm just saying. Do you want to form

[00:56:34] an alliance with me? Yeah. I mean like I

[00:56:35] would move Cheetah Girls up.

[00:56:37] I'll move Cheetah Girls up right now.

[00:56:40] All of a sudden we have Cheetah Girls

[00:56:41] in my top ten. Number one Cheetah

[00:56:43] Girls. It turns out it's really good.

[00:56:45] I come back next week. But I love that you're both willing to make this

[00:56:48] and I'm like I'm not willing to take that deal.

[00:56:49] I don't think Cheetah Girls should be in the top ten.

[00:56:51] I actually wouldn't make the deal.

[00:56:52] We should not collude at all on that.

[00:56:55] I went to my war room Cheetah Girls

[00:56:57] six.

[00:56:59] It was wrong last week. I was wrong

[00:57:01] by 30. I couldn't live with myself.

[00:57:04] A month to think about it. Yeah a month of prayer.

[00:57:06] I couldn't live with myself

[00:57:07] if I had Cheetah Girls that high.

[00:57:09] I think 30 is more than fair.

[00:57:11] I mean I'm looking at the movie. I mean it's probably

[00:57:13] going to end around the 20 mark.

[00:57:15] So I started by thinking it's definitely

[00:57:18] my bar was kick it up

[00:57:19] for some reason. Gotta kick it up.

[00:57:20] Gotta kick it up.

[00:57:21] Gotta kick it up. It's a better movie than Cheetah Girls.

[00:57:23] Where's gotta kick it up? Because I know it's low on my list.

[00:57:25] Oh see I went the opposite.

[00:57:26] It's probably going to end up just on the other side.

[00:57:28] Gotta kick it up for me.

[00:57:29] Two, three, four, five, six.

[00:57:31] So 24, 25, 26, 27.

[00:57:32] So gotta kick it up was 27.

[00:57:34] And then 28 was even Stephen's movie.

[00:57:36] And I was like

[00:57:38] even Stephen's movie made me laugh

[00:57:39] like five times.

[00:57:40] It's better than Cheetah Girls.

[00:57:41] Then Jumping Ship

[00:57:42] which I thought the first 40 minutes of Jumping Ship

[00:57:44] is actually pretty fun.

[00:57:46] And then it goes off the rails.

[00:57:48] So then we got Cheetah Girls after that.

[00:57:49] Yeah I have gotta kick it up at 22

[00:57:50] right behind Double Teamed.

[00:57:52] Yeah.

[00:57:53] Those two are right next to each other.

[00:57:54] Yeah.

[00:57:55] I do think Cheetah Girls

[00:57:56] is probably going to end up

[00:57:57] in that line.

[00:57:58] Yeah.

[00:57:59] Fair.

[00:58:00] But my heart's not there right now.

[00:58:01] It's not there.

[00:58:02] It'll go on.

[00:58:03] It'll get there.

[00:58:04] Yeah.

[00:58:05] But we'll see.

[00:58:05] I mean we have a month

[00:58:07] until we...

[00:58:07] You're doing your due diligence here.

[00:58:09] You're giving your 13 year old self

[00:58:13] it's due by putting it in the top 10 now

[00:58:16] knowing that sooner or later

[00:58:17] rational thinking will take over.

[00:58:20] Fair.

[00:58:21] Yeah.

[00:58:21] Alright we'll see what happens.

[00:58:23] We did it everybody.

[00:58:24] Congratulations to us.

[00:58:26] Merry Christmas.

[00:58:27] Happy New Year.

[00:58:28] Happy Holidays.

[00:58:29] Happy Hanukkah.

[00:58:30] Happy Kwanzaa.

[00:58:30] We'll come back just after Hanukkah

[00:58:33] and we'll be talking about...

[00:58:34] A Hanukkah movie.

[00:58:35] Full Court Miracle.

[00:58:36] Full Court Miracle.

[00:58:37] Oh it's a basketball movie.

[00:58:38] It's a basketball movie

[00:58:40] with a sprinkle of Hanukkah.
