[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great to be here today talking about our favorite fall movie.

[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Our favorite ape.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Chimp.

[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a chimp.

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Chimp.

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Chimpanzee.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Chimpanzee.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Jennie is the Jennie Project everybody.

[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I think Jennie is an ape.

[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Jennie is not a monkey.

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Jennie is an ape.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'll take that.

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello everybody, welcome back to DCOM Descendants.

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It is great to be here on another Friday.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: What was everybody's highlight of their week?

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it got freezing cold like about 12 hours ago.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That was mine.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: That was mine.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, someone got that freak blizzard in August.

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It was crazy.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It was nuts.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what else was nuts was the blizzard of reviews we've had come in, Dan.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're right, man.

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_02]: There's been so many...

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: People are loving it.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: People love the show.

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: They leave the review on Apple Podcasts.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That helps more and more people.

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Find Us, which is wonderful, including the review from who, Dan?

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't actually have any new ones.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got some new ratings.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Some people have dropped a five star, which thank you very much, but we read

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: EN's last week.

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't have any new reviews, which does sting, especially since we're doing this

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: live kind of a downer.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But please go and leave a review so we can read it on the pod.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: That would be cool.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: That is true.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I have some a thing that I didn't really know was existed, but on Spotify you can

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: leave comments on episodes.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So Olivia on the Zenon the Zequal episode said, love the podcast, excited for the

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: descendants episode.

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is especially important to Olivia because Olivia's profile picture is

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: the descendants like logo, the Apple that we also don't steal.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: We remade it.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Look, if you guys compare it, they're different.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_02]: They're different. It was remade.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It was restructured for this.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Ready to run.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: DJ said I have never seen a DECOM and have no plans to change that.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But I was intrigued to hear Brand discuss them passionately while Dan is

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: questioning his life choices five stars each week, five stars each week.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But left it on the ready to run episode where some bad briefly plays a horse.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right. Yeah, fair glitchy left a glitchy.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And we love the G a review in a language that I don't know.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, it's I don't know.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, try it.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But Alfonso Aguilera commented Alfonso Aguilera by Alfonso Aguilera

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: commented on a horse episode and just said Alfonso Aguilera.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, all right.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So there you go. There you go.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's the thing. I know that we had this.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great. It's very nice.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I check on Pocket Cast to see if we got any reviews on there.

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's is that a thing?

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it is.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I will say I'm a big fan of this jacket.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it is warm.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's nice.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So when when we do get that blizzard here in that Greenville, South Carolina,

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to borrow this.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: No ratings or reviews for on Pocket Cast for Decom Descendants.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Six months ago, Shelby said on the under wraps episode said, love it.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I wish there were more episodes to binge, but I'm excited to join this journey.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Shelby, have you been enjoying enjoying it since then?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Now that there's more episodes.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: When we did under wraps, I wish there were more episodes to binge as well,

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_03]: but it was our first one.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That was our first one.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But I love it right from the get go.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_03]: People wanted to binge them.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right. That's right.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I love that.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Today, we're talking the Jenny project

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: movie that's not available on Disney Plus.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So we rented it because it's really good.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And you don't have to because we're going to talk about it here

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: in just a few minutes.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_02]: But maybe you haven't watched it and you really want to.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're thinking to yourself, what should I eat?

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. What would be something that I could pair with a movie?

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Luckily, we have you covered.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's time for Delish.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Erin, you brought in a whole thing today.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I did a whole thing. Yeah, I definitely did.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I was inspired by monkeys.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But but apes to you, man.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I was about to say, is this ape bread?

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, a bread,

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: a bread now also known as monkey bread.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_02]: For those at home that can't figure it out and aren't watching on YouTube.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_02]: How'd you go about doing this?

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Because you said that this is home made.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: You want the whole process?

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I took some yeast,

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: mix it with some warm water and ingredients,

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: put it in a bowl to rise for a few hours, rolled it out.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: They little balls here.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, rolled those balls in cinnamon sugar.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Let them rise again.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, baked it.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you just put all the balls together.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, they bake that way.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that way.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you pan together. Right.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I mean. Yeah, there you go.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Should we try it?

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So you just pull one apart.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep. We go.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Which hot?

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_02]: This is exciting.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: This is all the monkeys out there that are listening.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Shout out, Jenny.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Blocking otherwise.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. All right.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Who knew?

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Who knew balls of bread with cinnamon sugar on it would be so good?

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Why do they call it monkey bread?

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, I don't know.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: What was racist?

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't look into it.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I was a little afraid to find out why.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no way it's racist.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: That's like not our thing at all.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We never like find in

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: stumble into things and go, oh, no.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The original name of monkey bread is unknown.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Almost assuredly racist.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yo, that's you out there.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Let us know.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We'd love to hear from you about where this came from.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It may have originated in Hungary where it was called a golden dumpling.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not a bad name for it.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. Monkey bread, everybody.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Now you have it. Now, you know, we do.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's take a quick break. We're going to come back.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I know what show I'm on.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen, it's cold out there.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Here in that green bill.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We the you guys remember the ultimate Christmas present?

[00:07:19] Mm hmm.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_02]: How could we forget it?

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We stole it.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We we found the thing.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We found the oh, the machine, the weather machine, the weather machine.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk Jenny Project, everybody.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The Jenny Project is what number is this?

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Twenty seven, twenty eight.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's further down the list than that.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Really? We're not in the 30s, though, right?

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's 30. It's no.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Wow.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Number 30.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Jenny Project had to rent it.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's fine.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's fine.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get off. No, no money off my credit card.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It released on the Disney channel.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We did not use Dan's personal credit card, not the company card.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_03]: For sure.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: July 13th, 2001 is when it's premiered.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what? I'm interested.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't actually know

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: how this is going to sound like I'm going in a joke and I'm not.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to have I want to have a serious conversation.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, it's July of 2001.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like are we going to see a big gap post 9 11 with with DECOMS?

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't think so.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. But my guess is no.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Based upon being in college and that happened.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I know that sports stopped for a while, but I don't think

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and I know that production on a lot of 9 11

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: esque movies started in the following years.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think that there was a huge they may have paused for a week or two.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think you're going to see like a three month or six month gap.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you're going to see that.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, fair enough.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Written by Douglas Preston, Charles Levitt

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and Gary Nadeau, three people wrote this movie.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I do.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, Gary, Gary Nadeau also said not do to directing.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He said I do.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Starring Gary, take this movie.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I do not do.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you'd like that.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Starring Lance Guest's Alex D.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Lynn, shout out on three, Sheila Kelly.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, Cheryl Lee, Ralph and Abigail

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Mehdi and who plays Jenny?

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't even want to honor the primates.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't say on the Wikipedia.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't say on the Wikipedia.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It is primates. Got it.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's dive into it.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: The movie kicks off with a young boy's name is Andrew.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He is reading comic books.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He is annoyed by his sister.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He is all of us, Dan, as young children with younger siblings.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We just want to read our comic books in peace.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to point out neither you nor me.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Neither of us had younger siblings.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right. We were that younger.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I can tell from experience

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: that any time your older sibling is doing anything,

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: that's the time.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the time to do something.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_02]: That's time to do something.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Bella and Ellie were the two chimpanzees that played Jenny.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, two chimpanzees.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: For the price of one.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Bella and Ellie.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to humanehollywood.com.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Did they give this movie a passing grade?

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no way.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, since the movie...

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Bella and Ellie, maybe they used two of them.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: The movie is like eight minutes long.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And the movie, I think, entirely took place at a zoo.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's pretty good.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So they didn't fly to Africa.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Am I saying that right?

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Africa. Africa.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Chimpanzee.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: The chimpanzees in Africa.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: He hears that his...

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Questions everything I know.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: This movie does do that to you.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew hears that his dad has just pulled up,

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_02]: which is a big deal because his dad has been gone for a long time.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Eight months.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So mom...

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: He's supposed to be gone for three.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So mom and Andrew, they seem annoyed with him.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Not super excited to see him.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: But he has a friend with him.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And that friend is a monkey.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a chimpanzee.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: A chimpanzee.

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: A chimpanzee named Jenny.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And apparently this monkey is the baby monkey

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: that was saved after his mom was shot by poachers

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and then gave birth.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: The power of birth.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We do a whole flashback.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a whole flashback.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He brought her home via Delta Airlines.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how he got this monkey home.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Checked back.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he did have the monkey in a bag.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He did.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you made Hollywood.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You made Hollywood.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I have questions.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I have no idea.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, maybe it was different back in 2001,

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: but today at least, countries have laws about...

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Today at least, countries do have laws.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Like transporting live animals.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was, to be fair to Brand's point,

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_01]: it was before 9-11.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It was before 9-11.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a different world.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Different world.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You could do anything.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: You could have put that monkey in a bag

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_03]: and there was no bag screening.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, as long as you buy him a ticket.

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's all that matters.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So, Dad, as mentioned, was only supposed to be gone

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: for three months.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He was gone for eight months,

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_02]: but he insists this time that he is back.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_02]: He's back, baby.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He's back.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew?

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to be clear.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't...

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you got stuff to do.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't call or write.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: No, he didn't write.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He did write.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't let anybody know he was coming home

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_01]: or that he was going to be gone an extra two and a half times.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think what would the argument...

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he wrote a letter instead of staying.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: The argument that takes place between Mom and Dad

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: is that Dad was trying to communicate with letters,

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: but after he didn't come home after three months,

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: she just started throwing the letters away.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, don't want to hear from you.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, don't need your excuses.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: So they're healthy.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a healthy relationship.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he thought, everyone's mad at me.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: What's the best way to come home?

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Unannounced with a chimpanzee.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: These kids are going to be pumped.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I tell them about the chimpanzee.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm going to wait until the bag starts rolling around the lawn.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And Bella steps out with a diaper on and there you go.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Chimpanzee.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: In typical bad dad decom...

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_01]: In typical bad dad decom fashion.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Fashion.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I left out a word.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He sits down at the table and he immediately starts

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_02]: getting on his side about his schoolwork.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not doing good enough.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Your grades aren't good.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Which like as if dad, you haven't been around

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and Andrew gets I think rightfully upset about this.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Leaves dinner early and that's another thing.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, what are you doing?

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: What are you doing around here?

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Kids leaving the table.

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Doesn't Andrew call his dad is like,

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Mom says your grades are slipping

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and doesn't Andrew say like, well, you weren't here.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, good for you, Andrew, speaking up.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: You weren't even here, dad.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't get to be mad about my grades.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Tell them.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you were in Africa.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Jenny the sweet chimpanzee goes to comfort Andrew,

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_02]: but at this point in time, Andrew's not having it.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He's just mad.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Mad in general.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Mad at life.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That night, Jenny is supposed to sleep in the basement,

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: but similar to Kevin McAllister

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: is scared of the basement.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's scary.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Mom, dad is just a joke.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he then comes upstairs and begins

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: to cause absolute chaos in the house,

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: destroys the kitchen, gets in bed with.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to say pronouns are important.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And Jenny, don't even try.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't even try.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_02]: What have I said?

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_03]: You said he.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone knows all right.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Brian.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Every pronouns are.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're right.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You're right.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So she goes up, destroys the kitchen,

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: gets in bed with the missus there.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Not like in a weird way, but just like.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: The way you said.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I understand.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I qualified it.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I qualify.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like, how do I say that the chimpanzee

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: messes up the kitchen and then crawls into their bed?

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: You said.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I said got in bed with the missus in bed

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: with the missus is what you said.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And I realized it was a mistake.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Hence the qualifier.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you write that down or is that from the.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That was from the old noggin.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just right off the old.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Why Frank the mailman hates Jenny is because

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny's in bed with the missus.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: In bed with the missus.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll get there.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So the next day, Jenny runs through the doggie door.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Do they have a dog?

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, they do have a dog.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Just in case you never know.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe they had one who can say really.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a lizard at one point.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: They did the last people that are in the house.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: How do doggy doors work as far as like not letting all the cold air out?

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I've the only way I don't know the answer to that question.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I really feel like I just hit a hit a nerve.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I have a dog door on the porch.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, of course that makes sense.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Who cares?

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But the when we see in movies that these dog doors.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Interior door.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_01]: To the interior.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It always bothers me.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never mentioned it because I just thought I didn't know and I was stupid.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's how I feel about most things.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Fair and how like how like how does that work?

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Erin?

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I would think that I don't know.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair enough.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Now the doggy doors are better.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, doggy doors are better now.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: That's not an answer.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Like they're more solid and you can like lock them.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I think though the general regardless of whether or not they're better.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I always thought it was like when you had a double door,

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_03]: like if you had a wood door and a screen door,

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: you would put the doggy door.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I thought.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That's still letting.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't help you.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because the screen is still out is still the exterior.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to have a dog door on the back of my kitchen.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it'd be great.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to open my door constantly,

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: but it doesn't work because the climate is completely screwed if you do it.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: If somebody's an answer.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, leave us a comment in the in the fix my door in the Spotify episode.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Leave a comment.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You have a doggy door situation that works well.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Let us know what it is.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw a doggy door situation live.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_02]: An incredible, incredible show.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But the climate was really weird at the show.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, at the show.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It changed as the show was in there.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, and then like rodents like other animals are coming in.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's nothing.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just a little push and they're in.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're in South Carolina.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have your doors closed, cockroaches are coming.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_03]: They are moving in.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: They are moving in.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Harry's head.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Home alone.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, put this head through.

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I got you.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Marv?

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Harry.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, thank you.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Any whom he gets.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I was going to do a lot of doggy first.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_02]: While you're doing that, I'll explain this.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_02]: She gets through the aforementioned doggy door.

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It is true.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_02]: We went about that the longest way.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Leave us a comment in the Spotify.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: This episode comes out.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll get to it eventually.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll get that answer.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_02]: She goes through the doggy door.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew goes to run after her.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And that leads to Andrew upon catching the chimpanzee in the

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_02]: backyard of the neighbor who is very scared by the chip, by the way.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_02]: To really begin to bond with Jenny.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, hey, Jenny's actually pretty fun, pretty goofy, pretty weird.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Kind of like me.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think it's going to.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: The block is now complete.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Dad can't find it in himself to find another home for Jenny.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So one night he realizes that Jenny needs something to play with, a place to call

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: her own.

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So he stays up all night with Andrew building a tree house and everything starts to turn

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: for the better.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_02]: That is until Jenny's birthday when there's a knock on the door.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Who is it?

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no answer.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I said, who is it?

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no answer.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Who is it?

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Sherrilee Ralph.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Dr. Pamela winning Sherrilee.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Dr. Pamela Prentice apparently has written a lot of books.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody that meets her has read every book.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They're always amazed by her.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: They tell her that when you write books about signing to primates, you are world

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_01]: famous.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't walk the streets.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't expect to be able to just not be mobbed at dinner when you've written

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: books about sign language and primates.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you can't.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy out there.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: How's your research going?

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: You're really locked in over there.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I found a Reddit thread about doggy doors and the number one source is just people

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_03]: how do you keep other animals out?

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And one person's helpful suggestion was, well, the feral cats in the neighborhood

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and the raccoons and possums will come in.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But usually they get scared and leave.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes they will stay and then you have to call animal control.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So apparently you just don't like it.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I ask you this?

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Are dog doors real or is it just a thing in movies?

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I understand they're real but do real people have them on the interior of their house?

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, no.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it just a thing in movies?

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think they were more prevalent in movies where it's like everyone has a dog

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and two and a half kids and a white picket fence.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But here's what I would say.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Now they're electronic.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Tell me about it.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: What would you say?

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: In a place with a milder climate like Florida,

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_02]: San Diego.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, San Diego would be great.

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: If you had a screen door and a full-size wooden door,

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: you could put the dog door in the wooden door

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: prop the screen door open during the day,

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: close it at night and you would be good to go.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So that way during the day your pet has free run to go in and out

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: without you have to open the door and at night you shut it down.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the best I got.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You could if you still have the double doors,

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: one's like a solid wood door and the other one is the one where it's like half screen.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: You can put the doggy door on the bottom that way the wooden door stays open.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_03]: They can come in and out.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out a way to get it on the interior door.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I have a dog door on a screen door with a glass half bottom.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I know your setup is like wood door porch screen door.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying the people who have double doors.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Back to back, yes.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_03]: That way it's not your interior.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But my thing is I still got to go open the door then.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to go open the door.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But in a milder climate you would just leave.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But what I'm saying is a milder climate you could do it on the big door

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and that way all day you don't have to do anything except you prop it open at night

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and in the morning and at night you just close that screen door.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what?

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I bet the people that are listening didn't anticipate this.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot of doggy door talk.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: For the movie about the chimpanzee there's a lot of this.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We've been saying they say in this movie chimpanzee they put the emphasis on the

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Roman syllable and they do chimpanzee.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_03]: But every now and then they do say chimpanzee.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Chimpanzee, yes.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And sometimes it's chimpanzee sometimes it says chimpanzee.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_03]: But 95% of the time the emphasis is on the second.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They're really hitting the ponds.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: They're hitting the ponds.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I just heard you say raccoon.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I did.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I say raccoon like not that crazy but like I'm like oh are those raccoons?

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And you said raccoon.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I know.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I say raccoon sometimes but as a funny.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that just how you say that word?

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: No it was with chimpanzees.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Were you being silly?

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You just threw it in there.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Africa's.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah okay.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: She's good.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't think on the fly like that.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It didn't have three syllables so I kind of didn't.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Raccoon.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So when Dr. Prentice shows up, Dr. Prentice is appalled that they're having a birthday

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: for this chimpanzee.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: She's eating sugar.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes and watching television.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's at this point that Dr. Prentice says no we have to shut this down.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I am going to begin working with Jenny so that I believe Jenny can learn sign language

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: and in order to do that we got to get rid of all this tomfoolery and we got to work together,

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: your family and I on the repetition and the reinforcement to help make sure that Jenny

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_02]: is learning these words.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But also she starts leaking like hey maybe I could like be really back at my shed.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Where does she work?

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: At the shed yeah.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Wherever she works she's like we really she would be better off there.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember the name of the center but it's a chimpanzee center.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a center for primates.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she calls it a chimpanzee like community.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and they don't really tell us I assumed it was far and I think we all did.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like more than a bike ride away?

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes yeah specifically more than a bike ride.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_01]: She keeps insinuating like Jenny would be better there and the dad keeps me like

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_01]: no way in hell is that chimpanzee leaving my doorstep.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: She's part of her family.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Famili.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Like yeah she like that's really the rub of this whole movie.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes yeah.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_01]: There's high jinks in a mailman but that's pretty much it right?

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_03]: They do have a hard time saying that Jenny is part of the family but they're like

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_03]: she's part of the she's my child.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah yeah.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So she does start to work with Jenny and Jenny is hesitant to begin working with

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: the good doctor and it's just not is you know.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Take place in the 1930s.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes the good doctor.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Sliding into bed with the missus.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And I no matter what the good doctor does Jenny's not not doing the signs isn't doing

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: all the things that she's supposed to.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Clearly no nobody from like the deaf community was consulted because their way of teaching

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_03]: sign language is to just verbally say apple.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and Jenny's like I don't know any of that is.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah that implies.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It would have helped if you were like.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Here's an apple water water that's right maybe maybe all right.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Somebody knows a few words in sign language.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh you're like Spanish.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Making up for the fact that she doesn't like honor pronouns.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny's dumb she doesn't know sign language and it's like no I think you're dumb you

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: just don't know how to teach.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: No well I would say the good doctor has written books so.

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It made me angry.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah so.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Barbara.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Jenny is not responding to any of the sign language lessons.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She's just chilling.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_03]: She's just here hanging out with her best friend Andrew.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Well and I was going to Andrew is she's got a lot.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew just wants to have fun you know like hey I got a fun thing going on with Jenny.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_02]: We like to you know we like to just go around.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: We like going around messing around kind of seeing things I hold our hand we go

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: walks we have fun.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And then one day though she crawls in bed with the missus.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right one day though Jenny does do sign language but for Andrew and Andrew's like whoa

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_02]: this is crazy maybe there is just a for the mom oh for the mom that's right right right.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Andrew comes in trouble and the mom puts her in timeout and Jenny

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny asks to hug I don't remember Jenny's sign but to hug Jenny

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and the mom's like she gets it.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right and the and the and every like the kids come in they're like this is amazing

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and it becomes clear that Jenny really likes his family and the family makes Jenny feel safe

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and when Jenny feels safe then Jenny Jenny actually has been learning this stuff.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's all they need it's not like they're going to have to prove this in like a

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: court of law or anything.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Well there's a mailman.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh no okay.

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Wait a minute Mr. Postman.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Frank.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Frank is really into weird the missus.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And I don't think that you are underselling it by just saying into the missus.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right he is he's a trying to steal the missus from the dad.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: From the minister and he just kind of keeps coming around randomly and whatnot

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and one day gives some mail to Andrew and also is telling Andrew hey everybody thinks

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: you're weird because you keep you know walking around with.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah well he says you look like a chimpanzee.

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah because he got it needs a haircut.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Which his hair has looked the same the entire movie.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like you're weird people are talking here's a letter.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah okay dude go away.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But the letter is a big deal because he does open the letter and the letter is.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Grant money.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Grant money.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: For his dad to go back to Africa.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Right yeah.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So he in a moment of.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Emotion.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Emotion sadness anger rage rips up.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Really good.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The letter.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and Jenny helps.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And Jenny helps Jenny's like this is yeah f that letter.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Jenny though while a very smart chip can only understand so much sees good pal

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew ripping up letters knows that mailman delivers letters and thinks mailman.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah mailman bad let's get all the letters.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I will say this putting those pieces together is a lot of legwork for one chimpanzee.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Sees one letter be ripped up and then goes this person has lots of letters they must

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_01]: be lots of bad.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it that's a leap because at any point over the last two months

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_01]: the mom the dad the daughter have all probably held envelopes in their hand.

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah weird that Jenny is like well it's just this person with letter.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah it would have made more sense if like because Jenny if Jenny was was Jenny there

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_03]: when Frank gave the letter or just when I think when he's opening it yeah it would

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: have been more sense of Jenny like saw Frank give the letter to Andrew and then have

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03]: because like animals can pick up.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh for sure.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Like if someone came over and you were tense and upset like your dogs would pick up on

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_03]: that and so Jenny had been there when Frank handed the letter I think Jenny would have

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_03]: picked up on my friend is upset and I always when I come over I always is bad.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it would necessarily would have translated to like everything that

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_03]: follows but yeah that I mean that's a big leap where yeah yeah it is you're right.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I've just been trying to tell Dan to calm down like when I come over you don't

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: like I'm not going to do anything and he's still like he's always on edge.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like when I had that dog attack you remember that.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah I do remember that man.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a real story we can tell later.

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm bait and that's all I am that's all I am to him.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And you still move next door because you weren't next door and you moved next door

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01]: after I had a dog attack you so you know.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Well he showed up and tried to sneak in in the middle of the night.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_03]: That's true that's true.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It's really on him through the doggy door.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So shenanigans then transpires.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So many letters freaking everywhere.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_03]: All the mail I think for the entire San Diego area.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just like throwing it all around.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Too many letters.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Steals the mail truck van truck car.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Drives it somehow with.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Pedals.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Pedals I don't know how all that happened but it happened.

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Hits the brakes at one point knows the brake and gas pedal that are.

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_01]: How do you put it together?

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Jenny did a great job driving.

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Jenny is a great driver.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_03]: For a three foot tall chimpanzee yeah great job.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and it's at this point that

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Jenny is now in danger of you know just basically being taken by who knows who.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So they have to go to court.

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course where else would they go?

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Frank is suing Jenny.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes Frank.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_03]: For mail theft.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right as you can sue a primate.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes that's what Frank is doing for mail theft.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So we show up in the courtroom and.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: No one has told the judge that he is a primate.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah the judge is surprised by that.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny comes in in her best little dress.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just crazy.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just crazy.

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_03]: The judge is like why is that monkey in my courtroom and they're like excuse me she is an ape.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was somebody named Jenny Nolas.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know it was a chimpanzee.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_03]: No she has the last name.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Jenny Archibald.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Now Jenny as a chimpanzee obviously has same rights and is able to defend herself on the

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: stand if she so chooses.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes she's in 56 all the amendments.

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So she is on the stand and they bring in this interpreter and is like Jenny is supposed

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_02]: to be able to do sign language.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: If Jenny is able to do sign language then this will show that Jenny is smarter than

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_02]: your average chimpanzee.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_03]: They wanted her to explain why she did it.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're like yes she has language she can explain.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And Jenny is not interested in doing this.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen I'm not going to talk to you.

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know who you are.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And so at this point you think okay there's nothing they could do.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's because the signer is using very eloquent sign language whereas she's got a

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: pretty primitive understanding of it and so the kid pops up and uses more of a broken

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: English with her.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny only knows 100 signs and the interpreter is using very complex sentence structure

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and the kid is just like why Jenny hurt Frank why.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: If you think we're getting in the weeds here everyone in this courtroom is playing it like

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_01]: it is a few good men.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone in this courtroom is playing it straight up dead serious super dramatic

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: like it is you know Captain Queeg on the stand like it is not played for laughs at all.

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and the judges defense when Andrew stands out the judge is like who are you.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But you got to fight through just because the judge tells you to be quiet doesn't mean

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: you have to.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I learned in this movie and Andrew does continue to sign and begins to get a bit

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_02]: of the story which is mailman bad basically.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Mailman bad.

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Well he says he said she said why like why Jenny hurt Frank why and then Jenny

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_03]: says Frank hurt Andrew.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And then from that I'm just glad that Andrew puts together oh because Frank gave me the

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_03]: letter and then.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad that a chimpanzee knows a hundred signs and one of them is Frank.

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_01]: A hundred words one of them's Frank dude he's met once she's met once.

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah pronouns guys.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah I know I got it.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And so then the good doctor who is also in the courtroom also stands up and begins

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: to speak despite not being a lot of someone who's allowed to do that in this particular

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_02]: case stands up and says you know you know who could really help in a situation like this.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a little chimpanzee house that I have maybe maybe I take chimpanzee there to

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_03]: house where chimpanzee can hang out with other chimpanzees.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't say this but at one point Sherrilee Ralph has been authorized to offer him

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: 70 thousand dollars for the chimp to go and live in a place where she could learn

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: how to better communicate and live basically.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And he says no he's like nah.

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny's part of the family.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Pardon that's right so Jenny is let go and goes back to the family.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Your numbers lately haven't been very good you've been falling down the job

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: clocked out early twice last week Jenny we're going to have to let you go.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Let you go back to your home.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_03]: She will the court orders that she has to go to the center.

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah yes but she gets to go home first.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She gets to go home first.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_03]: She gets to say goodbye to everyone?

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_02]: No no that's that's kind of the whole thing here.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_03]: She definitely gets to say goodbye to Andrew her best friend.

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially not Andrew actually mainly just.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you saying that Andrew comes home from work and goes I can't wait to tell Jenny?

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Where's Jenny?

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah that's exactly what happens and then he takes off on his bike.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Where could he have gone?

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah because of course.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you even tell your kids Jenny was leaving today?

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No this primate sanctuary can't be within a bike ride range and so he has to be going

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_02]: somewhere else right now.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: No no he's not rides right on up to that primate center sneaks into Jenny's little

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_02]: room which is nice it's a nice room looks really great and in.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_03]: But Jenny's not eating.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_03]: She's right.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny's very sad.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not eating her Froot Loops.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew's plan was to hey let's go but the door locks behind as a classic door lock

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_02]: behind situation.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Which makes sense because I was kind of wondering you know.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah how the yeah that's right that chimp could definitely get out of there otherwise.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So they stay asleep there the good doctor sees them and sees.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Realizes.

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_02]: How deep this bond truly is.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And goes maybe this isn't the best.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: And also Andrew's family breaks out all of the red yarn and bulletin boards to figure

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_01]: out where he could have possibly gone.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And hours later they're like he went to see Jenny what about the place where they

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_01]: keep chimps down the street.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Now could we have saved a lot of heartbreak and just put Jenny in this center

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and then just gone to visit her today.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that this family the whole movie is about the chip and this family's

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_01]: like hey where could he could be anywhere right.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Have we checked the Dairy Queen.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Have we checked the movie theater.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: If only there was a place that house chimps within a bike ride just oh oh there there is.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's almost like we took his best friend in the world away and didn't let him say goodbye.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I never thought that's where the kid went.

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So dad.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: His parents are really just.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Dad finds Andrew and tells Andrew.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The news they're bringing Jenny home bringing Jenny home

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm your dad going back to Africa.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_01]: To take Jenny to her habitat to live in the wild.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Well he says like we're bringing Jenny home right.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's all he says.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That's like a rest of the film.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like I'm afraid we lost him.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And then eventually Andrew's like you mean Africa.

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Like just just have a conversation with your son.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he is he's obviously sad but when he says I'm going to Africa

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_02]: he's even more like you just got here basically.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he is able to spill the beans that he has this crazy idea what if my family comes

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_02]: with me on one of these.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_03]: What we're all go you're going to Africa I'm going to Africa.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: We're all going to Africa.

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Kids can be home schooled for a little bit mom doesn't work.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Seems like if you're going to disappear for eight months you could just bring your family.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You could do that.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You sure could and they do.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: They bring Jenny back to the area that had Jenny was found and

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: they go to find you know other chimps her family out in the wild and Jenny reconnects

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_02]: immediately.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_02]: In these.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: These are the chimps that she's never.

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Problem at all.

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Met before.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That's how that works.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And she definitely has the skills to survive in the wild.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_02]: For sure.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And Andrew sees this.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew sees this and begins to feel better about the fact that you know I'm saying

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: goodbye to my friend but Jenny is where Jenny is supposed to be.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I lost Jenny but I think I found my dad.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I have my dad now and that was the Jenny project.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to take a quick break.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to come back and talk about our thoughts in the movie.

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to rank in all that good stuff here on DECOM Descendants.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Swister jacket was louder.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back everybody to DECOM Descendants.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's time for overtime.

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about how the Jenny project aged over time and our thoughts on the movie

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_02]: as a whole.

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This was one of those movies that despite when it came out none of us had seen it.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Aaron.

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't group me in with you.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys are the DECOM experts.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We are.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You did you would not see.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_02]: There's some movies that slip through the cracks and apparently all the movies

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_02]: that slip through the cracks are somehow or the same for Aaron and I.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I think just proves that they they weren't.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: They showed some of them.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Showed them once or twice.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_01]: They clearly didn't own this one so they didn't rerun it all the time.

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Right like the right it's not on Disney Plus.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't have the rights to it.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_01]: What we're proving here is you guys didn't watch a lot of these when they premiered.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You probably watched them rerun.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes especially these early 2000 ones I think is fair.

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah I mean a lot of the early 2000 ones I did watch

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_03]: but it would depend on like how many because I didn't I was young.

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't understand how like a schedule worked.

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_03]: So the more commercials that aired for the movie I'd be like oh I need to be here

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Friday night at 8.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So if they weren't showing a lot of Jenny project.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And I also don't know if little 10 year old me was would have been thrilled.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Also summertime you guys could have been on vacation clearly.

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Could have been a lot of things.

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Could be a lot of things.

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_03]: July is typically our family vacation time so.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It could have been away.

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get to some of these letterbox reviews.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily says I'm sure I have something to say about this film but I just know

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: but I just know that in my quest to rewatch all the D coms the next one in

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_02]: line is the Seagull to Horsens and I just can't explain how much I don't want to watch it.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Five stars.

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Red Eye says don't have a lot to say about this one.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_02]: There's an interesting plot line about a mailman though so

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_02]: just because of that this movie gets 1.5 stars.

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Pro bank over there.

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Bot bot B says pretty boring but it gets points for the monkey.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Cute monkey.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Clara.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_02]: She's not a monkey.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_02]: How dare you.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Bot bot B.

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on.

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Bot bot B.

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Clara says.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Bot bot B better.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah you get it.

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great.

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Clara says 2.5 stars why did this man get upset at a nurse for

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_02]: understandably not wanting a chimp in her hospital.

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't even talk about that.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We missed the whole scene.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll bring it up in my overtime.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my gosh.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Moe says 2.5 stars.

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so.

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_03]: The main plot was it's not really important.

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: No it's not.

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The most egregious part of this movie.

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so far into these decoms at a scene where a chimp gets called into court to testify

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02]: using sign language didn't even make me question anything about what was going on.

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Bring back Bop says this was 10 times more racist in the color of friendship.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And Jacob 97 says every adult in this movie is irredeemable and the chimp was way better

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_02]: actor than the children.

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk about our thoughts on this movie.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Erin the J project.

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_02]: What are your thoughts?

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah I do agree about Jenny being a great actor.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: There's that one scene when she first comes to the house and Andrew is upset and he

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_03]: goes outside and Jenny sits with him and they're doing a whole like she looks.

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah yeah it's really good.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the timing on that between the two of them was great.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah Jenny was the best in this movie and I stand by that.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I really wanted to like this movie.

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I at one point like really did pursue the career of linguistics and wanted to study.

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I wanted to study gorillas and their language acquisition and so I was like yeah

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_03]: this movie's gonna be great we're gonna teach a chimpanzee sign language and you

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_03]: know she's gonna learn to communicate but that wasn't even really the plot and they

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: very poor job of showcasing sign language.

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: They do a poor job of a lot of things showing family relationships.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: The whole point of this movie was that Jenny brings the family closer together and

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess she did.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It is amazing how there are issues where Disney's way ahead of the curve like

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01]: an all family of color being superheroes on 25 years ago crazy.

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_01]: The female riding motorbikes in a boys sport quote unquote way ahead of its time

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I don't know what's going on.

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It's based on a book but I just when you look at all the other like Disney channel themes

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where this movie comes in.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why they were like do they have to do one serious one a year

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and so the previous year we got color friendship and this year we get the Jenny

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: project.

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I don't I don't know it doesn't seem to fit in with the other movies like

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_03]: we've got Zeen on the Z equal and then a couple weeks later we've got luck of the

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Zeen on the Z equal luck of the Irish Jenny project like it just doesn't go well.

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_03]: They do this weird thing all movie where they want to say that Jenny is part of

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_03]: the family and it gets there's like this weird undertone where no one is going to

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_03]: say it but the family the parents at least definitely think Jenny is a human child

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and the part that we didn't talk about in the plot is after the mail truck accident

[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_03]: the dad rushes Jenny to a human hospital.

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_01]: A human hospital.

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to specify human hospital because my first thought would have been to take

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny to a vet or animal hospital to the chimpanzee center or to the zoo or something

[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_03]: like somewhere the primate center they have in town literally a bike ride away somewhere

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_03]: there would be specialists who know how to treat a chimpanzee body and instead he takes

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_03]: the chimp to a hospital and the nurse opens the blanket and is like this isn't a baby

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_03]: this is a chimpanzee and he's like well yeah what did you think and she's the bad guy

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_03]: that's not wanting to treat the chimpanzee in a human and she's like you need to take

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_03]: the animal out of here and he's like how dare you I'm going to speak to your manager

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's like go for no nobody in this hospital is qualified to treat this chimpanzee

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_03]: also there does I would assume like a sanitation the liability insurance alone would be you got

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to get them out of there right now all it takes is he's off yelling at the nurse and he tells

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Andrew take her go sit down so then Andrew starts talking to the chimp in sign language

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: there happens to be a deaf boy who sees this he comes over and tells Jenny I hope you feel

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_03]: better in sign language the nurse is like oh she knows sign language bring her on back here

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and then it's and then it's the chimp gets treated in the hospital it's the worst thing

[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and then there's just hands are tied though the hospital has clear rules about sign language

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_02]: so I don't know if you see it doesn't really matter yeah what it is if you can do sign

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_01]: language we can see the hospital is right beside the chimp where you think Andrew is

[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_01]: check the arcade and the laser tag yeah so I really wanted to like this movie I

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_03]: it's the dad from sepsis from planet weird it's the kid from home alone three

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_03]: we've got a chimpanzee doing sign language and yet none of it really landed for me

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah this movie is it it alternates so quickly constantly throughout this movie from being

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_02]: super serious with the music over top of it like you're learning a lesson and to

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_02]: one part turn apart here's some funny wacky stuff and it just goes back and forth for

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_02]: an hour 16 minutes and it's it's tough is tough on top of all that I think I'm crying like

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the dad is the most unlikable character oh we've ever seen um like you you being gone

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_02]: for eight months when you said you were being gone for three already an uphill battle

[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: but then for you to come in here and start like trying to like be a dad to your kid

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_02]: and like be surprised when your kid doesn't respond very well is like shove off dude like

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_03]: just think for one second and then the very first day is he doesn't give anyone a heads up

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_03]: he's bringing a chimpanzee home and so they have to deal with that overnight the next day he goes

[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_03]: back to work and he just as he's pedaling away on his bike just just like hey you're

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_03]: gonna have to keep an eye on jenny uh you are gonna have to change your diaper uh he's the most

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_03]: selfish the mom is like in her bathrobe in the front lawn like what just happened he's so selfish

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_02]: it's clear he has no desire to be a dad or a husband like not at no point even the end

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_02]: like the only like his first thought was i'm going back to africa and it took someone be

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_02]: like his wife basically be like hey dummy like let's think this through you to be here yeah

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_02]: he has no desire no desire to be a dad no desire to be a husband oh and is it when when do they

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_03]: have their failed father-son talk is it after he leaves the table there's a one point where

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_03]: no it's later on in the movie they're having a father-son chat in andrew's room andrew is

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_03]: clearly upset about something and that you know he makes a comment about how he doesn't

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_03]: think his dad wants to be there or wants to be his dad and the dad is like is that really

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah and instead of taking that moment to be like i can understand why me disappearing for

[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_03]: eight months of the year unexpectedly shows that but i still love you but instead of saying any

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_03]: of that he gets mad at andrew and it's like well i'm not gonna talk to someone who's not

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_03]: mature enough to have this conversation a plus parenting even though there's been some like

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_02]: some fathers uh so far in some of these d-coms that start off rocky and then they like it like

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_02]: brings dad for instance yeah he comes around he comes around has a great scene motorcross

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_02]: is another one like i think it's this this dad he never has that conversation with his son

[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_02]: he's like uh we're going we're going to africa and that's i guess supposed to be the

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_02]: the big thing but i learned that sucks i hate this dad um the the chimp is really cute

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_02]: we love the chimp but aside from that this movie is a tough watch and it just gives you whiplash

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and so uh it's tough dano as we're talking about it i do think i might need to adjust my rating

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_01]: well you have time you have time to borrow a phrase from brand this movie whomps uh there

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_01]: is a scene where alex lenz and the and the chimps sit side by side and they look keep

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_01]: trying to look at each other and look away aside from that it is 85 minutes of terrible it

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_01]: is bad father weird chimp courtroom scene how is this place a bike ride away why are we feeling

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_01]: bad and then there's sky music playing like everything about this movie is tonally dissonant

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_01]: with bad characters and bad acting it's one of the worst we've watched uh my rankings do

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_01]: change this week in the top 10 okay but not because of this movie this movie's terrible i

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_01]: if i did these rankings based upon what movies would i rather watch aside from this one

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_01]: it's virtually all of them um it's saving grace is that it is 76 minutes long

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that is the one positive it is not 90 it's not even 85 it's 76 minutes that did help a little

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_01]: aside from that hate it terrible could you imagine another 15 minutes of this movie no no

[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_03]: couldn't absolutely couldn't i really feel like they were adding scenes in there to make it an

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: hour 16 yeah this movie won't real bad um it's time to make that list everybody where we uh

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_02]: add this to our rankings which is now 30 deep now which is insane um to find out where this

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_02]: movie's gonna land and then we will read our top 10 if somehow the jenny project didn't

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_02]: break that top 10 uh erin where where are you at yeah what are your thoughts before we really

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_03]: dove back into this plot and broke it down i had it at number 22 on my list uh yeah i was like

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah i think i'd rather watch this movie than watch hounded and that's where it landed was

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_03]: right before hounded but no i am rethinking that i thought you know what i do think

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_03]: me taj and the dog yeah because i could the one thing i really hated with that movie was

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_03]: the very long like 20 minute scene where the dog destroys the house and i could just fast

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_03]: forward through that one scene and the rest of the movie fine yeah um you can't fast forward

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_01]: you'll fast forward all of it but the one scene like it just literally so now it's

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_03]: debuting at 24 just behind stepsister from planet weird because i think the doubt is better

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_02]: that one so much better than that one same dad so much better than that one what's up

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_03]: while watching this movie i kept trying to picture if he was cosmo cola and it would have

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_03]: been a better character because at least you're being like he's weird but it's because he's an

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_02]: alien what do you you have at 24 what's 20 what's 25 ready to run okay interesting wow

[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_03]: wow okay what's your top 10 top 10 hasn't changed we've got brink at number 10 the other me quince

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_03]: xenon halloween town the luck of the irish smart house miracle lane two johnny tsunami

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and number one is motocross oh you went to motocross at number one were you at johnny

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_01]: tsunami it's been motocross for like three weeks johnny tsunami my bad he's got brink he's

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_02]: so wasn't okay my bad um i coincidentally erin also have the jenny project right ahead of ready

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_02]: to run uh but i have it at spot 29 because i've ready to run at number 30 uh so this is the

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_02]: second worst movie we've watched so far uh jenny project debuting at 29 so if listen if if

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_02]: if jenny put on headphones and started to run around then we'd have ourselves a movie now we're

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_02]: talking combine the two two stories ready to run and jenny project and we've got ourselves a

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_03]: banger of a movie and it's tough too because we talked a while we were watching it how this was

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_03]: a period of time where there were just a lot of yeah like monkey yes movies tons and yeah so

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_03]: what i think about like i think wanting to like this is because i liked mvp and dunston

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and mighty joe young and all those different movies and this one's just cool but i just in my in

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: my bottom almost my bottom uh definitely my bottom 10 i have a horse sense hounded you lucky dog

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_02]: jenny project ready to run i hate animal movies apparently the the decub animal movies are the

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_02]: worst the worst and i think that's the big takeaway from this movie my top 10 didn't

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_02]: just week but his phantom at 10 halloween town 9 miracle lane to 8 jetjacks and 7 moms got a day

[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_02]: with vampire 6 luck of the irish 5 smart house 4 motocross 3 johnny tsunami 1 and one one

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_02]: sorry johnny tsunami 2 and 1 the greatest movie of all time brink it's ridiculous
