Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006)

[00:00:00] Wir sind Teresa und Nemo und deshalb sind wir zu Shopify gewechselt. Die Plattform, die wir vor Shopify verwendet haben, hat regelmäßig Updates gebraucht, die teilweise dazu geführt haben, dass der Shop nicht funktioniert hat. Endlich macht unser Nemo Boards Shop dadurch auch auf den Mobilgeräten eine gute Figur und die Illustrationen auf den Boards kommen jetzt viel, viel klarer rüber, was uns ja auch wichtig ist und was unsere Marke auch ausmacht.

[00:00:35] ist ein Bramble Jam Podcast. Es ist toll, es ist toll, es ist hier heute auf DCOM Descendants. Wir haben drei Mal, alle drei Mal, du warst perfekt und dann wir zu der Real Deal und du warst, nah, thanks. Before wir press record, wir haben gesagt, wir waren zu Ende für den Tag.

[00:01:04] So, ich bin in das Mode, wo ich bin told, ich kann gut gehen. Es ist ein guter Ding, wir haben zu tun, auch. Ja, wir definitiv nicht. So, hypothetisch, wenn es 9.15 Uhr in der Morgen, ich bin zu gehen. Ich bin schon schon schon schon schon. Es ist true, hypothetisch. Hypothetically. Hi, everybody. Welcome to DCOM Descendants. It's a very simple show where we watch every Disney Channel original movie in order. In order. And not the dumb, just the DCOMs. Which, by the way, DCOM Daily Minutes, the DCOMs are coming back.

[00:01:36] It's no longer Disney movies or whatever. It is the funniest thing in the world to me, where they release like two movies as Disney original movies. Disney originals. That's right. And then the new one coming out is a Disney Channel original movie. By the definition, though, we have to skip those two and go straight to the new ones. No. Is that how that works? No, they aired on Disney Channel. I know, but it's not a day. It is in a murky place. It's a murky place. A gray area. Yeah, but one of them is a Descendants movie. We're gonna have to watch that. We gotta do the Descendants. We had a show after it. We've never seen those movies. Well, I've not. I know. That's not right.

[00:02:04] Yes, but we will have seen them by the time we need to watch that one. You know what I mean? Yes, by the time we get to the fourth Descendants movie, you will have seen the original version. That's how that works. Shout out to someone named Josh who on the Cowbells episode. Your brother? I don't know. But you never shout out his brother of the week? I never shout out Jesse. Jesse. That's right. Nine times out of ten.

[00:02:34] Shout out Josh. I've been with Pat, I feel like. Cowbells episode, they commented on Spotify and just said, so proud of Brandon for knowing words and eating yogurt. And I appreciate it, Josh. It's just good to be seen. We do have a new Apple podcast. Yes, we do. Up to 168 out of the 300 needed. That's pretty good. This is from CED1105. Shout out CED1105 said, is what I'll call you. CED says, this podcast saved journalism.

[00:03:05] Glad to know that real reporting is not dead. I don't. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. We're journalists. Which episode on that one? It has to be something that Brian mentioned offhand. And cowbells or something. Yeah, right? You would think so. I don't know. We saved journalism and that's what matters. So we should stop the printers. Stop the printers. Stop the printers. Stop them. Stop printing. And I also think that this is worth mentioning for DCOM Daily Minute.

[00:03:33] Melanie loved to comment on the High School Musical review and it was very nice. Talked about how they listened to the show after going on a long trip and it was so great. Like catching up with friends. Happy that Dan wasn't too hard on the movie. But then they finished the review with Kenny Ortega has confirmed that Bop to the Top wasn't a song in the musical. It was just a song that Ryan and Sharpay made up and decided to audition with. And so the whole conversation that we had about how does, what is this musical?

[00:04:04] We still don't know. We still don't know. But it at least becomes a little bit more understanding. We're getting some clarity. A little bit more understanding. Yes, we know that Minnie and Arnold would not be singing Bop to the Top. Bop, bop, bop, bop to the top. That's exactly right. Today we are talking about Windy Woo homecoming warrior. Yeah, we are. Legend and diehard Lakers fan Brenda Song. Diehard Lakers, so tough day for her. D-com Daily Minute. I know, obviously. Rest in peace to the Lakers, obviously.

[00:04:32] Also rest in peace to the Canadians. To the Canadians. Yeah. To the Magic. Rest in peace to all the good ones out there. Pour one out for your home. Well, didn't the Canadians just get kicked out of the Stanley Cup? They lost and they're out of the playoffs. So the Lakers last night and the Magic. The Magic were two nights ago, but yeah. I didn't know they were that close. Brenda Song. That's what you're Celtics. That you care deeply about. Disney Channel legend Brenda Song leading this one.

[00:04:59] But lots to get to, lots to talk about, obviously, but none of it could be possible without a delish. That's right. That's where Erin brings something, a food, a drink, something that we can consume that is in some way related to the movie. Kind of get us in the mindset of Wendy Wu. Yeah. So what'd you make for us this week, Erin? So this week, Erin... What an Asian-inspired dish. That's right.

[00:05:29] From Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior. I wasn't gonna try to make an Asian-inspired dish. That's not... I would have loved that. Coward. Nine in the morning. We're eating sushi. Yeah. Um... Sushi would actually probably work for both. Can I tell you what's driving me nuts? And I don't know why, because sometimes the stacks are uneven. If it's a box of cookies, those stacks should be even when you open that box. Right? I've had one. Oh, okay. That makes sense. I feel better. I'm just gonna go right here. There we go. We'll go to the game.

[00:05:58] Did you buy a box of 11 cookies? So you've been robbed. I've been eating some. Okay. Um... Yeah, I was gonna make chocolate chip cookies, because we talked about how handing out raisin cookies... It's just dumb. For Homecoming was like... It was dumb. That's not how you get the votes. A good, solid... A solid chocolate chip cookie is the way to go. The chocolate chip vote bump is... Yeah. It's real. It's big. So I was gonna make them, and then it was almost like I had to prepare two delicious

[00:06:27] and just ran out of time and had these cookies and said, you know what? They're perfectly good cookies. Why was I gonna bake 24 more cookies? You were gonna bake 24 more, huh? I don't know. Two does. Yeah, that's usually what a recipe is. Really? Wow. Wow. So I just... I feel like I didn't eat that many chocolate chip cookies in my life. Um, I'm not running for Homecoming Queen. Um... Have you considered it though? Yeah. I've never considered it. My high school didn't do Homecoming, so I've never... You could run for Office Queen.

[00:06:56] So where are these cookies from? Oh, Hot Publix. Hot Publix. Obviously. Publix doesn't make a bad chocolate chip cookie. They're a cookie. So... These are from Hot Publix. Shout out. It meets the brand standard for cookies. Oh, is it a cookie? Yeah, I guess it's a job done. Yeah. All right. And I'm gonna vote for you for Homecoming. Perfect. Wow. I know you're worried. Office Queen? Yeah, I wasn't sure. But now that I've had a cookie...

[00:07:25] That's what you've played a month all over again. So, not for read it and weep episode because... We haven't watched the movie yet. Hypothetically, we're recording that soon and I don't have time to go home and change. But for the episode after that, which might be Chater Girls, I'll be wearing my Office Queen tiara. Okay. Fair. Fair. But I guess... I mean, the votes aren't in yet, but fair. Vote brand for Office Queen. Oh, whoa! Whoa! I'm just throwing it out there. I'm just throwing it out there. You're throwing your hat in the ring. I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

[00:07:53] Everybody, you think about it during this prank, who you're gonna vote for. It's so funny because I also am throwing my hat in the ring for Office Queen. Oh, no! Gosh! And I just heard from Brian, he's doing the same thing. We'll be right back. Thank you, I'm just saying this. Welcome back. What if we each vote for ourselves? It's a tough spot. The rule says you can't. Wow. Can't vote for yourself. So leave a rating and review on who you'd vote for for Office Queen. There you go.

[00:08:28] What's interesting is we actually can't tally the votes until we get a hundred and forty-ish. A hundred and thirty-two would be fine. Yeah, a hundred and thirty-two votes. I think we will finally start to do the tally. But... Leave a review on Apple. Once we get to 130, we'll decide who the Office Queen is. You have to put... And listen, if that gets us to a total of 300 reviews on Apple Podcasts, then what can you do? Whatever. So be it. So be it. Yeah. So we're in agreement that whoever gets the most votes is wearing a tiara for the Cheetah Girls two episodes. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Got it.

[00:08:58] Uh, Wendy Woo homecoming warrior. I'm kind of like Team Brain or Dan, honestly. No, I got it. No. My, uh, I got it. I got it good. So a tiara would be so... With your headphones. His head would swallow that tiara all. That's exactly right. You wouldn't be able to see it. Vote Dan? Office Homecoming Queen? Vote Aaron. I think we can vote Aaron safely at this point. It was all fun. Just leave a review. We'll tally it up when we get to 132. Um, alright. I'm gonna wear the tiara backwards. Ooh, that's cool.

[00:09:28] This could be a trend. Uh, this movie aired on June 16th, 2006. So, uh, right in the, right during summer. Summer vacation. I might have still been in school. That's crazy. Um, just the people up north do it wrong. When did you finally get out of school? Um, well, so like we would normally go until early June. Uh, and then it would just depend on snow days. It would depend on snow day. Yeah.

[00:09:56] Um, like there was one year that we were in school until like the week of June 20th. It was disgusting. That's too late. That's too late. Uh, this movie is written by a whole slew of folks. Uh, Vince Chung, Ben Montanio, Mark Seabrooks and Linda Look. Linda Look! Linda Look! Linda! Directed by, directed by John Ling. Listen, Linda!

[00:10:24] Starring Brenda Song and Shin. She was in this movie? Yeah. And Shin Koyamanda. You have to pick one, one DCOM star, Brenda Song, or you get Allie and AJ. Brain. What, what's happening with that? For a movie. They're in more movies? Yeah. Or for everything. Movie and music. Allie and AJ. Yeah. I'm taking Allie and AJ for the music. But like, you only get to choose one thing. Yeah, but. Okay. Forget the music.

[00:10:54] Okay. Well, that would. You have to have a movie. You can see why that would complicate things. A movie stars Brenda Song or Allie and AJ. Which would you prefer? Brenda Song. Brenda Song. Okay. I mean, that's the right answer. Yeah. A mile. None of them are good actors, but that's the right answer. But if I want to listen to an album, I don't think Brenda does that. I don't think she does that. I would listen to none albums. Well, that's where you're wrong. One day you're gonna, you're gonna. Dan Farrell for Office Queen. Had it right the first time. If I win Office Queen, I will make every day start with an Allie and AJ sing along.

[00:11:24] You will have no rights to do that. There are no rights and privileges of being Office Queen. I promise when I get elected. And when I win Office Queen. Office Queen. That's right. We will start every day with candy. And a water slide in the cafeteria. And Allie and AJ sing along. The cafeteria, huh? The cafeteria. Also known as this area right here. The movie kicks off. Are we just turning the stairs into a water slide? Into a water slide. Water slide? It's actually not a bad idea.

[00:11:52] How do we get up? It's a different ladder up the window. Ladder up the window. So a real quick story. Sure. Yeah, we have time. That's fine. No, it's fine. No, it's a real quick one. That's fine. Go ahead. Just thinking about turning your campaign promise of turning the stairs into a water slide. Right. Previous to working here, I worked at an elementary school and one of the student I worked with

[00:12:19] one year was running for class president or like class representative, whatever. It was for his specific class, not like his grade. And his campaign promise was Dairy Queen every Friday. Yeah. And he won like unanimously. And I was like, buddy, you're up against it now, but I've got news for you. Next Friday is gonna be rough. Yeah. Yeah. But you already elected. That's the whole thing is what are you going to do now? Well, then he realized that he had to go to student council meetings every week.

[00:12:49] Um, this is my kid when we did a class mayor and his promise was no homework and candy every day. Yeah. For mayor Tom. That's how you get the vote. No homework and candy every day. Well, we've got candy every day and water slide over here. Yeah. Listen, it doesn't. And you're, you're, uh, is your son related to Brad? No, but he's been to this office and seen that we basically have no homework and candy every day. That's right. So he probably was like, this is our grownups act. Yeah.

[00:13:17] And they go to work and they watch movies and eat candy. That's true. And complain about their age back. That's what they do. That's what they do. Um, all right. The movie kicks off in Asia. We know that because of map. Uh, we see, uh, some monks practicing their fighting and then the elder monks walk up and shows a picture of a girl who I guess is a part of a prophecy.

[00:13:42] This, uh, this girl is who we need to find because she is the key to, you know, fighting against, uh, bait the big bad, big bad, uh, cut to a girl who looks exactly like the prophecy picture. Her name is Wendy, Wendy woo. And, uh, she's very, uh, very cool. Very, I guess she's like more popular and she's running for homecoming queen. And, uh, she also begins to notice that she has really good like reflexes.

[00:14:11] She's able to like catch stuff and stuff. And it's like, Whoa, what's going on here? She takes a tube of lipstick and chucks it at her brother who's eating a cookie and it slices that cookie perfectly in half. I will say this, but you know, we're going to do overtime later. I am, you know, Ms. Woo's acting. No, not Ms. Song's acting leave something to be desired. Uh, but the shocked that I can, you know, like Toby McGuire, when he, you know, he becomes Spider-Man and he's shocked. He can do these things. Her shocked.

[00:14:41] I can do these things face is really good. It's like, that's a, that's a skill set that she does have, which is like, Oh my gosh, how did I just do this crazy thing? And it happens all movie long and she does a good job with that. And I want that on the record. Okay. Well, there you go. Um, and that was Dan for office queen, Dan for office queen, for office queen. I promise nothing, uh, to keep up with her rival, Jessica Dawson, who is passing out raisin cookies that Aaron will provide. There you go. Uh, Jessica Dawson's passing out raisin cookies. Maybe you've heard about them.

[00:15:10] I don't know why you would do them, but even oatmeal raisin, get, get out of here. Uh, but, uh, Wendy is intimidated by this and she commits to making cupcakes despite having no real idea. Cupcakes were also a contender for delish, but we've had cupcakes the last two episodes. But also cupcakes. Oh, speaking of which I looked for those red velvet cupcakes when it was finally in my eating window and couldn't find them anywhere. Oh, and that was, that was hard for me. Oh, did you think about asking?

[00:15:38] Uh, you were there's for a reason, some reason you were not here at the moment that I was asking. Aaron wasn't, where was I? I don't know. Okay. It was the day I stayed light. I stayed later than everybody. No, it was, um, it was the day they did, um, a making the merge. I left during making the merge. That's what it was. That's what I was looking. Okay. Cause I passed them out to everyone who was recording, making the merge man. That's tough. That hurts. Sorry, man. I am boy.

[00:16:07] I was about to sneeze, but I fought it off. And you're going to vote for Aaron for office queen. After hearing that I passed them out and anybody who wanted one got one. I don't know where you were. I went to pick up smoothies for everybody. No, this was at like 3 PM. You were not picking up smoothies at 3 PM. No, I went, I went to pick up smoothies earlier that day. Maybe it was a different day. Maybe we're crossing wires here. 3 PM. So one night, uh, just go back to one night at a museum.

[00:16:37] This like ominous looking box shows up. It begins to glow green. So clock that it's important. Uh, we didn't see that one of the monks shows up in California to track down. Wendy woo. Uh, he tracks her down at her house and he knocks on the door and tells her that, uh, her time has come again. Whatever that means.

[00:17:05] Uh, they get into a little bit of a, uh, an argument and, uh, windy knocks them right out of the front door. Get out of here. Don't watch you. So he stays outside of her house to keep an eye on Wendy woo. Good thing. She does that because the glowing box thing possesses the security guard who then passes it to Wendy's brother who delivers a pizza to said security guard. Are you checking?

[00:17:33] So now so much progress in the synopsis when you and I are talking about the calendar. I know it's good. So, uh, Wendy was, Wendy was brother is now possessed by green, the green, the green guy, the green glow and, uh, comes home and the monk is obviously watching still from outside and sees what's going on there. And so he sneaks in and gets in a big silent fight.

[00:18:01] So, uh, Wendy was brother. And it's important that it's a silent fight because Wendy is sleeping on the couch. It's also important to note that this movie has taken its cues from the popularity of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which came out five years before these fights throughout the movie, highly choreographed, a lot of stunt doubles and a lot of like jumping and floating and defying gravity, but only in certain instances when you can use. Oh, I was the end of defying.

[00:18:30] Was it? Um, pretty close. So like it is. Do you want to do it one more time? Not, not, not, no, no, no, no. Go ahead. Let me close this here. Go ahead. Oh, there it is. I got it now. I got it now. Um, are you defying gravity or defying graves? Both and we're, whereas most D comes before this that featured any fighting or action at all, it was pretty pedestrian or just terrible.

[00:18:56] This like a lot of emphasis is being placed on these stunts and it's impressive. They're like soaring from the staircase down and they're soaring and flying. They're soaring. They're flying. There's not a star in heaven that they can't reach while they're fighting because of how well the choreography is. It was, it was a good fight scene. Yeah. Really good. And they let Brenda sleep the whole time. So that's right. Good for them. Yeah. Like a cat. Not like Frankenstein. So nice. You gotta sleep sometimes. Um, okay.

[00:19:26] Listen, if you're gonna fight, that's fine. But like, let me, let me stay out of it. So while they're fighting eventually destroyed nothing in the house, they crushed it. Yeah. Save the fish. The fish almost died, but the world. Oh yeah. They got the fish back in. Um, he uses like this, uh, necklace. What is it? An, an, an, an amulet. How would you say it? Or a medallion. Yeah. Yeah. And that causes, it was good. Thank you. Uh, there's lots of different words you could use even. You're so good at words. Thank you.

[00:19:55] And, uh, and trying yogurt. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you, Josh. Thank you everybody for your encouragement. Brand for office queen. Brand for office queen. He tried yogurt. Never stopped. Never stopped trying. He tried yogurt glaze in a cupcake. That's right. And I would do it again. Uh, so if you will eat a whole cup of Dan and yogurt that I choose, I will cast, I will give my full support for you as office queen. I don't need your support.

[00:20:24] Nor do I want it. Nor do I want it. Um, okay. So the, it uses the thing and it causes the green to leave brother's body and go into dog and dog then runs out of the house. So, uh, again, clock. And they immediately notice that their dog is missing, right? They don't. Yeah. Yeah. The dog is a big part. They don't seem to care. Uh, the next day, the monk tries to stop Wendy on her way to school to give her that necklace because she's going to need it. And he just keeps doing this by yelling. You're a danger.

[00:20:55] Doesn't explain. Apparently that's not what people like to hear. Just like shows up with holding the necklace. And then he's just like, you have to wear this. And you know what? They're friends and be like drive. Get out of here. Um, cause we know that that guy's not a bad guy, but she doesn't. They don't know that. Yeah. So good lesson. If a strange man walks up to you and asks you to wear a necklace with no explanation, uh, run away.

[00:21:23] But if you think that's going to try to protect somebody, maybe use some words. Yeah. Some words. Take after my friend brand. Use those words that you know so well. Use those words, you know, emulate, amulet, emulate brand by amulet. Getting an amulet. That's exactly right. So, uh, amulet situation. She, uh, they're able to make it to school. But if you think that's going to like stop him from watching her, you'd be wrong.

[00:21:52] Uh, he is in the bleachers during soccer practice. Schools are notorious for letting anybody and everyone, especially just strange men, especially in 2006. Come on in. He, uh, of an unknown age. I don't know how, I don't know how old this guy is. Um, and she does like this crazy triple flip kick thing during practice. And she's like, Oh, I didn't know. I didn't know I could do that. And nobody cares. You know how sometimes you just stumble into doing a triple flip kick and you're like, well, I guess I can do that now.

[00:22:19] When you are a mediocre high school soccer player and all of a sudden you pull out that spin move. Spin move. And nobody cares. I'd be like, did, did anybody else? Did you see how she ran past that defender who wasn't trying? Yes. She's very good. Um, after practice, he finally talks to her and like uses some more words, gives her the rundown. We love more words. Gives her the rundown on what's going on. Basically he claims that Wendy is the reincarnation of a mighty female warrior. Um, amen.

[00:22:48] And, uh, the only one who can prevent an evil spirit from destroying the world. Yeah. And so like, that's something that most people hear at some point during their life. Um, and it's really up to you on how you're going to respond. Uh, she does not believe him. And, uh, people are beginning to ask about who this random guy is that is hanging around her. Um, good friends really. That's right.

[00:23:14] Hey, we've noticed that guy who was chasing our car the other day, he's been hanging out like who should we, should we call somebody? So she has to like come up with some sort of excuse. Like it's my cousin. Uh, so it's like, it's a custom in China not to call ahead. That's right. So, uh, she finally, which is not true. It is. That is her excuse and everybody just buys it. Yeah. I will say Asian family. You can show up and just stay as long as you want.

[00:23:44] That is fairly customary. And why can you say that Dan? Because my wife is Asian. Okay. I know, I know you think that everybody knows your family, familiar history. Familial? Yeah. Your family history. But in America, you would not do that. In America, you wouldn't even, you wouldn't do that. There's some people that might not know that about you. So I can't just show up. Yeah. John Mulaney tells a great story. Have you heard it on when he married Olivia Munn where her uncle says he's coming to

[00:24:10] visit and then he waits all day to show up and he shows up at like midnight and just stays as long as he wants to stay. And he's just like, this is just, this is just what happens in her family is just kind of normal, but not normally in America. That's a very interesting exception, I guess, to that rule. All right. Well, yeah, I'm coming over. She finally gives into the request from him to train her and because he agrees that he

[00:24:37] will also tutor her in world history, something that she needs because she needs to get her grade up. And her midterm for world history is all about ancient China only. Well, that's good. It's good for everyone. She can't run for homecoming queen if she has a C. Yes, exactly. It's notorious. High schools are notorious for putting a GPA. Does she need to get a homecoming queen? I thought she needed to get it up to a C. She had to get him.

[00:25:04] The way I understood was she needed to get an A on the exam to get a C in the class. Right. Because she had an F. Because she had a D or an F. Guys, do the math. Do the math. She's right there in the middle. House of little Debbie. That's exactly right. So she needs that if she wants to be Wendy Wu homecoming queen. She doesn't want to be a warrior right now. So like training. She's getting there. Like, yeah, I'll do the training. But really, it's motivated by history. That's exactly right. But they end up hanging out more.

[00:25:32] They even go shopping to take Shin from monk to hunk. You got it. Their words, not mine. And it's great. It's great. Also, it turns out the tutoring is really more just you have it all in your head. That's right. Already. You just need to know it. Just unlock that. Do some yoga. Like, yeah, you can remember everything. That's right. Um, something, you know, also, is she has a boyfriend, I guess. Oh, he's something. Yeah.

[00:25:59] But they, they end up breaking up at a dance party. He's angry. That's happening. Coordinator outfit with his. Yeah. It's a classic high school boyfriend. Yeah. I can't tell you the number of times. I was like, you know, you know, I'm going to wear a black shirt. Did you? I like to believe that high school Dan used to wear a lot of colors. I did. And I still wear, you know this. I'm not here. I don't wear all black. Uh, true story. I, I did.

[00:26:27] Dan and I were at the same baseball game one time and I couldn't find him in the crowd because he was wearing a blue shirt with a neon flat bill hat. Walked right by him like three times. What are you trying, Dan? Um, but I would like to believe that high school, you just wore a black shirt. I wore a lot of colors, but I'm going to assume Sarah, you went to a dance and she wouldn't coordinate with you. And so you said, you know what? From now on wearing black. So I will always match Sarah. So angry. That's right. It's the day that Scott died. That's right.

[00:26:53] Uh, so the day that Scott, uh, he, uh, he ends up, uh, getting a kiss on the cheek from someone else. Shen does getting a kiss. He does. He does a, he does a dance battle. There's a dance battle. And, uh, this makes Wendy jealous. Cause I guess she's into him. Uh, I guess it was hard. Kind of. It was hard to read, uh, what was going on between these two. But this, I think really solidifies it that there are some feelings involved here.

[00:27:21] And sometimes, you know, you just don't know until you know. Yeah. I mean, I think part of it was that she told everybody that he's a cousin. So like that, that makes it weird. That confuses us too. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, uh, Wendy then storms outside. It takes off the necklace, throws it down. That unfortunately for her is immediately confronted by, uh, her friend, Tori, who is now, who is now possessed by, by the green, the green, the green guy. Yes.

[00:27:48] And, um, but luckily for her, Shin comes outside and he and Wendy are able to take her out and he gives her the necklace back and they get right back to work on the training. She's like, Oh, maybe I'm in a little bit of danger. Yes. And so Shin even gets her teachers involved by having ancient monks possess their bodies. The weirdest training sequence. Yeah.

[00:28:14] Because basically they, we're going to bring in these other, uh, like, uh, elder monks and they are going to train you. Basically who've been training you for centuries. That's exactly right. But, uh, the concern is she doesn't care. People are going, people are going to be talking. Oh, that's right. She doesn't want to, she doesn't want to fight an old guy in a park. Yeah. And so, so she fights an old guy in a park. She fights your teachers. No one's going to ask. Uh, so they possess different teachers and they come and they're teaching.

[00:28:42] I just think if you're in a park and you see some like Kung Fu training going on with two children and a monk that doesn't, that's not as weird as three middle aged white men or three middle aged white teachers. And then one middle aged black teacher fighting a female child. Yeah. Weirder to me, but you know what? Did anybody considered let's not do it in the park? Apparently park was the non-negotiable part of this.

[00:29:11] We have to do it in the park. It's good. Fresh air is good. Uh, so. You have to fight your teacher who will not take off his sweater vest. Does some great fighting, does some great training. Her training is now complete and gets a call from. She's like up on the top of the gazebo balancing on one hand. Yeah. And the way she cartwheeled up that, that, that light pole. She's learning world history and martial arts at a, an accelerated pace to say the least. Well, because she has it all in her. That's the thing. I mean, I centuries old. She's reincarnated.

[00:29:41] So I do think that tap into her knowledge. You laughed at it, but I think that is part of it. Part of it is like, it's all coming back to her. Yeah. It's not the same as you learning something new. She was there for world history. That's exactly right. She was there the whole time. Yep. Um, and so she gets a call from her friend. Good news. She won homecoming queen. We love that. Um, but she gets mad at shin when she finds out that the big battle is going to take place during homecoming.

[00:30:10] Which is just weird. Like, is it in the legend? Like how does he like, Shin knows exactly when. Yeah. I guess so. I guess it happens at the same time. And also Shin always has to sacrifice himself. Yes. That is his lot in life is he trains her and then he dies. And so Wendy, Wendy's mad that, Wendy's mad that he knew the time. Wendy's mad that he is emphatic on, you know, dying.

[00:30:40] Uh, it's like, I thought we had something special here basically. And you're like insisting on dying. So she decides I'm going to the dance. I'm going to the dance. Um, which by the way, they, what they say when she leaves is that, uh, I'm going to be, I'm going to come out during halftime. So I guess this is just the homecoming game game. She gets crowned it, crowned at the game and then the dance. Yeah. That was one of the more confusing parts of this. Cause they keep talking about the dance. Yeah. And then she says, I'm getting crowned at halftime.

[00:31:09] When was, when, do you guys remember when your homecoming dance took place? Like, do you remember like in the schedule of homecoming? Do you remember when it took place? I want to say it was this, the next night. It was the Saturday after home. Yeah. It's almost always the Saturday after the Friday. Yes. Well, I'm just going to go back to what I said, beginning of this episode where my high school didn't do homecoming. Yeah. I just like the idea. I thought maybe they still did like a dance, like a themed dance during that time.

[00:31:36] No, it was, it was in a later in October we did harvest dance and it was a Halloween dance. That's more fun. It was so fun. Like you would get together with your group of friends and do group costumes. And I remember, I think I was a junior and a group of seniors did Mario Kart. And so they all had costumes on, they all made like cardboard cars with three balloons. And they spent the whole night just like running around the dance floor trying to pop each other's balloons.

[00:32:02] Wait, that's like, that is like a fantastic, I stand by my high school not doing homecoming because we didn't have any of this. Like we didn't even do prom king or queen. Like we didn't do high school royalty. What a weird high school. We had a lot of public school. I loved my high school. Like I had a great time. But like, that's, those are my memories is like, we went to a high school dance. We all like wore coordinating costumes and we just ran around and had fun for an evening. Now I, and I'm not trying to question your memory. Okay. You are somebody who likes a theme costume.

[00:32:32] You love a theme. Is it possible? And hear me out. Is it possible? It was just you. No. And your friend group. I wasn't, I mean, I wasn't. I'm just throwing it out there. I know you love theme costumes. Perhaps you convinced your friends. There's no such thing as homecoming. Because this was my upbringing. I don't know. I'm just, I just. I don't think it was nurture. I think it was nature. I think you were born loving a theme. Don't give me this nonsense where like, I was around so many themes. I just like, I fell in love. Don't know. BS.

[00:33:01] I am not trying to gaslight you into. No. The Mario Kart group wasn't my, like that wasn't my group. But what I love about the Mario Kart thing is, is that is a great costume, but it simultaneously could ruin a dance for numerous people trying to take a dance seriously. No one's taking harvest dance seriously. But in my mind, Aaron's. Like your memory is, is it ruled. There's someone out there that was like. That's true. These mofos. That's true. These mofos with their Mario Kart balloon popping, which makes me laugh so hard. Listen, you just don't go to the harvest dance. We had other dances.

[00:33:31] In my mind, there actually was homecoming and Aaron and her friends just showed up. Showed up and. You mean harvest dance? Yeah. Yeah. We're going against the grain. That's right. We're not going to dress that. Yeah. Everyone wore formal gowns and I showed up in a super girl costume and said, watch me. That's right. Exactly right. Uh, it's a theme. So, um, the green gas guy. Aaron didn't have home. She has no business being office queen.

[00:34:00] I want that on the record right now. I'm not giving a campaign speech. What I am saying is Aaron doesn't deserve it. Guys. My high school didn't have homecoming and I never got that. And then she brought store bought cookies. Having already eaten one. Um, I ate more than one. Aaron for never in the box. I don't know. I'm now questioning because I think I had to. Well, but that doesn't make any sense. I know. I think you must've only like, it's a dozen. It's odd. It's odd. It was a dozen. You brought 11,

[00:34:30] one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. All right. One for you. 12. You there couldn't, there wasn't a baker's dozen in there. I'm going to. How about we just look at the box? Yeah. It should say 12 count on there. No, 13 count. What? 13 counts. Who is, who is doing this? Hot Publix. You're selling cookies by the baker's dozen. The hell is going on? All right. I feel better.

[00:34:59] I know that two were eaten the other night. So they did sell a box of odd numbered cookies. Yeah. Dude, we don't have, there's no order in society anymore. This is what I've been telling you guys. You know what? Hot Publix eating all this cracked up to be. Brian for office queen, everybody. The world makes no sense anymore. He's not even here. I'm going to go grab a box of 13 cookies. But do you recall where the 13th cookie was in relation to the stacks? Was it like this? Was it like this? No. It was on one side? It was two stacks.

[00:35:29] And one side was higher. You can't, Publix. You can't. So the green guy has now entered the body of her rival, Jessica. And she goes to the museum and gets a handful of the terracotta warriors to come to life. So she now has a little bit of a, you know, a gang of sorts. Um, and so Wendy gets ready. Gang green. If you will.

[00:35:59] And Wendy is right there. You can't expect me not to say it. Sure. Wendy gets ready to go, uh, get crowned. But when she finds out that Shin is on his own for battle, she goes with her teachers. She's like, that dumb dumb is going to kill himself. The, the, the ancient, uh, she really just goes out of like begrudging hate for him. The ancient monks did not leave the teachers bodies. They just were like, this is actually pretty good. This is where we belong.

[00:36:26] And so they all go to, uh, help and join him and to defeat the baddest. It is like my favorite part of the movie. When you see these four middle-aged teachers, one of whom is doing a voice and that's too bad. We don't need to talk about her. Um, but yeah, like for those actors, like those actors are never going to get cast like in a Kung Fu role. And I just was like, this is that fun time where you get to learn. And they learn some fight, some fight training. And like, I was, I thought it was fun for them, but overall zero sense, but it was fun to watch.

[00:36:57] Um, somehow, uh, she has a new and they refuse to take off suit jacket and sweater. That's right. No, no, no. Uh, we'll be fighting soccer coach. She's right. You came in, you know, but the other three rules, you gotta find what you came in. Yeah. Um, she does something new. She's a new skill, which is, uh, to create a glowing ball of light and shoot it out of her hands. Um, and so she does that. Yeah. And that does the trick. Uh, Jessica heads off. If you had been training and that had never happened to you, like you didn't know you could do that.

[00:37:25] And then mid battle, you find out you can do this. Do you not take a minute to be like, what? Yeah. I would be pretty like, let's worry. Hey, hey guys, guys, you didn't tell me we didn't cover this. It's just normal. It's normal. It's normal. Can someone, what, what? Uh, so, uh, Jessica, do it again. Jessica is now back to being herself. She heads off to, to Hoko if you will. Um, and everybody is good except all of the Terracotta Warriors.

[00:37:55] Wendy's like, I know I won, but I'm giving it up. So I, I declare you the winner. That's good. Uh, uh, the Terracotta Warriors come back and they joined together to become mega warrior. Um, Shin, Shin once again is dead set on dying. Well, he was like, I thought it was weird. I didn't die this time. This makes sense. So he's like, I'll sacrifice myself. I volunteer as tribute.

[00:38:20] And, uh, Wendy's like over my dead body and maybe him and with more glowing lights of sorts and, uh, changes his destiny. Uh, Wendy and Shin, uh, uh, uh, fight and destroy. I believe the bad guy forever. Who can say? It's, you know, it's a change of destiny. I'm a little confused on the legend, but it's like for centuries we've just been fighting the big bads like underlings.

[00:38:48] And now we're like, we've actually gotten to the final level here. Yes. Cause they're like, that's it. No more legend. Legend's over. That's right. And so the, uh, Shin can now live out his life and once he dies, he's dead for real. He's dead for real. So I guess. Which he accepts so quickly. And I think knowing that I've been reincarnated for hundreds of years, finding out that this is it. Like, I think I would need a minute to be like, okay. Is that, is it also it for, for Wendy? Or is Wendy going to keep coming back?

[00:39:18] I don't know. I was very confused by that. Because her, his, his journey is always that he dies in a sacrifice and then he gets reincarnated. But now we broke the cycle. We broke the cycle. I would assume, I would assume. I would assume. Well, there's no one to fight anymore. Like they did it. They did it. I think. Live forever. Immortality. Anyway. Maybe it'll be one of those things where like, if another threat arises. Yeah. Maybe.

[00:39:46] Or maybe like she'll keep getting reborn, but like in a, like not need to go through training until another threat arises. Yeah. Maybe. Wendy and Shen. I don't know. Writers of Wendy Woo. Let us know. All four of you, if you want to reach out. Let us know. Take some village. Wendy and Shen. Linda, look. Linda, look. Let us know. Let us know what's going on. Let us know Linda, look. Also, yeah. Just hit us up there. And if you know why there would be 13 cookies in a box. Yeah. That, that is the mystery of life right there.

[00:40:18] Um, Wendy and Shen then decide that they're going to go do normal things like get cappuccinos and chocolates. Yeah. And then instead of going out. Grandma's going to make moon cakes. Right. And he says, I've been eating moon cakes for centuries. You know what I haven't been having for centuries? Cappuccinos. That's right. That's right. But instead of running out the front door, they run. Which is also why I definitely brought Dan and myself coffee this morning. Delish. Uh, made it yourself. Uh, nothing to do with double points at parlor donuts. They don't run out the front door. They run back into storage and we don't know what they're doing.

[00:40:48] Well, I think it's because they're running away from like her teachers and her family. Like they're all heading in one direction. And she was like, let's go the other way. Do you think they're like, are they a thing? Are they? Oh, they're for sure a thing. All right. All right. Okay. Uh, and that's Wendy Wu, everybody. That's a Wendy Wu homecoming warrior. Uh, here's what we're going to do. We're going to take a break. We're going to come back. We're going to, uh, talk about it some more, share our thoughts, make our rankings. Or our lists. Make a list. If you will.

[00:41:17] I hate my Aaron for office queen. Hi everybody. Welcome back. Oh boy. So good to be back. Brand. It is good to be back. Early polling has me in the lead. Uh, where are you getting this data? I don't, I can't, I can't, I can't tell you. It's fake news. The polls are all saying it is all I'm saying. The polls are all saying it. Uh, I have a feeling you're making up these poll numbers. No, they're real. Show me. What are the, what are the numbers? There's hundreds. Show me. Hundreds.

[00:41:46] What are the numbers? Hundreds is all I'm going to give you. Hundreds. How much are you up by? So many. Some polls are saying. So many, many. See, I don't think those are your polls. I think those are rollover polls from our previous administration. Those are probably my polls. And they're all saying hundreds is all I'm saying. They're all saying hundreds. They're all saying hundreds. Many of the polls, most of them, all of them. They're all saying. Is it most or is it all? It's all. You said, I've been clear about that. It's all.

[00:42:13] Many of them are mine and they're saying hundreds. All right. Uh, it's time for. That's where we share our thoughts on the movie. Uh, first I'll read some letterbox reviews from people who have also watched this movie recently. This is from Clementine who gives it three and a half stars. It's actually really good if you ignore that it's bad. Uh, that is as accurate a review as I've ever heard. Uh, Emmy says four stars. Grandma coming in with an outfit change in the middle of a huge battle. Iconic. Truly.

[00:42:43] Uh, I didn't mention that in this. It's awesome. But yes, she does come in and says, well, cause Wendy's wearing her homecoming dress and she's got to change into her warrior dress. That's exactly right. Still a dress. You have it on, you have it on hand. Uh, Danny, Nicole, 94 says two and a half stars. You can tell this movie was trying to teach Disney channel watchers about Chinese culture, but like all Disney movies seemed a little bit racist. Uh, Steven Klein says shocking, uh, amount, uh, of this movie is Wendy accidentally making people think that she wants to F her cousin.

[00:43:11] And, uh, Dr. Leonard McCoy leaves a long review and I'll read it now. Yeah. Uh, found it difficult to concentrate here after the first 15 minutes introduced a high school student who promotes her campaign for homecoming queen by appearing as a guest weatherman on the weather channel. I literally, uh, I initially assumed that this was a surreal dream that the main character had, but characters continue to refer to the weather channel guest spot as if it was something that actually occurred.

[00:43:40] This is simply not something that could happen on the wheel real weather channel. And I was ultimately unable to get past it and enjoy the movie. Fair enough. Dr. Leonard McCoy, Dr. Leonard McCoy really hung up on the weather. I mean, I think on a local like public access. Yeah, you totally could, but also the amount of high school students who were watching. That's the unbelievable part to me is that she did it. Yeah. That it mattered when I was 16. The amount of times that I made sure to catch the six o'clock news. Yeah. I did it.

[00:44:10] Um, let's, uh, would it shock you to find out that I, uh, watched it on the regular? No. I watched, I wasn't allowed to watch much TV. My dad watched 20 minutes of news in the seven o'clock news every night. So that was like one of the few things I did watch. However, you gotta get the top of the hour of the big news and the weather. And the weather. Yeah. But you're 100% right. This doesn't move the needle for homecoming queen at all for her. No, in my opinion. No, I mean, I caught a little bit. Unless she told everybody at school, Hey, I'm going to be on the news tonight. Watch me. Which I don't know.

[00:44:39] I mean, I would catch the tail end of the seven o'clock news because my shows would start at eight. That's exactly right. And then you'd catch a little bit of the 10 o'clock news programs. After they asked, do you know where your children are? And I was like, yeah, I'm right here. Then you'd watch a little bit of news. I'm in front of the TV. Like God intended. All right. Let's share our thoughts on this movie. Are we more Leonard McCoy? Are we more? More not. Nicole. More Clementine. I'm more of the first one. Once you get over how bad it is, it's pretty good. Yeah. Erin, share your thoughts on this. Yeah.

[00:45:08] Um, so I had this thought while watching the movie and I have not stopped thinking about it. Whereas I think this would have been a great TV show. Maybe you lead in with this movie, but I would love to see a 20 minute Disney Channel sitcom with Brenda and her cousin slash potential boyfriend, just getting into hijinks, saving, you know, the town, the world, whatever from threats. But you wrap it up in a nice little story.

[00:45:36] You know, maybe each week deals with some, you know, either like a Chinese artifact or some story from Chinese history. So we're getting a little bit of a culture lesson, some hijinks. You know, we get to see Wendy Wu go be a warrior and save the day. And then we just get like sitcom goodness. And then it would be really great too. Cause like if they had done this back in the early two thousands, we could be here in 2025 with a reboot where Wendy has, has a daughter who is now in training.

[00:46:05] Like it just, I feel like it, it was tough to watch cause there were moments where like nothing seemed to be happening and we had some dead air and then we'd go into a 20 minute fight scene that at the end of it, nothing happened. Um, so there were these moments where I was like, the movie didn't need to be a full hour 30. Um, and I think it kind of lended itself to be a shorter, a shorter bit, um, more fun than I thought it was going to be.

[00:46:34] This is a movie that is iconic in the sense that it's Brenda song, Wendy Wu homecoming warrior. Um, but not one I watched a ton. Um, and watching it back, I kind of see why, like, it's not as high jinxy. Um, but yeah, I mean, it's enjoyable if like, I can't remember who said it, but if you can get over how bad it is, it's enjoyable. And yeah, I enjoyed it. I had a good time.

[00:47:04] I guess would have liked more Wendy Wu content as a child. Yeah. Fair enough. Uh, this movie slaps. Uh, I had not seen this movie. I know I missed it. I missed it growing up. You talk about it. So it's Wendy. Come on. So that goes back to my point of it being iconic. I've never seen it. Even if you hadn't seen it, you knew Wendy Wu. You knew Wendy Wu. You knew Wendy Wu. Yeah. Um, homecoming queen.

[00:47:30] I do think like a big part of this was by 2006, I was a little bit more pick and choose with my D comms. And I think I was to this movie airing in the middle of June, which you were in full vacation. Full vacation. My guess is that I was probably playing like hide and seek in the cul-de-sac with my friends as the sun went down. While this movie was for me. Do you know where your kids are? That was for you. That was for me. We could like, I was school. I was out.

[00:48:00] You were still in school. I was definitely home, but you could have been hiding in the bushes. I would be out well past, uh, the street lights coming on. And if you picked a good hiding spot, there's nothing you can do. They would need to come find you at 10 o'clock. There's nothing you can do. Um, so I think that's why I missed it. And I just never, uh, I never, never ended up watching it. Um, and I wish that I had, cause I think I would have really enjoyed it as a kid and I really enjoy it now. I think it's a really fun movie.

[00:48:25] The fight scenes are, we've talked about it, but really well done, especially for a D-com, uh, like really fun, a really cool look to it. And, uh, uh, I was impressed by that. And is the story a little bit, uh, I don't know, convoluted shore, but, uh, it was still works overall. Really enjoyed myself. Dano. Yeah. I, uh, think that a lot of time and effort was put into the making of this movie, which

[00:48:54] always, you know, is points in my book. It always helps a movie when there's clearly a lot of the, I looked up the stunt coordinator for this movie. I've not done that yet for a D-com. Um, so that should tell you that they were doing something right. And when I heard the title, Wendy Wu homecoming warrior, I immediately was thinking of Buffalo dreams and tiger cruise. And a lot of other times where D comes have been tone deaf culturally and historically

[00:49:24] this movie around the periphery is some unfortunate events like the PE teacher doing a voice, but by and large, it doesn't like make the grave mistakes that some of these earlier D comes make. And the choreography is really fun. Does it have some spots that nothing happens? Yeah. It has some spots where nothing happens. Is it a little bit long? Yeah. I kind of liked the TV show idea. Sure. But there are moments when the movie really works and the fight scenes are very, very impressive.

[00:49:54] And the plot, you dive into the plot right away in this movie. A lot of the things that make D comes immediately fall into the back half. You know, we've watched 63 or four of these movies. Now movies that end up immediately in the forties or fifties for me are movies where it meanders for 20 or 30 minutes. It feels like it lasts for hours and hours. I don't understand what's going on. None of those things happen in this movie. So it's way better than the average D come in my opinion, because of the fight scenes and because it gets right to the plot.

[00:50:23] So yeah, I mean, I also think my kids would have freaking loved this movie. Yeah. That's the other thing is, is that while it may not be as high on my list, I think right now, if I showed my kids this movie, they'd be all in on Wendy Wu homecoming warrior. So it gets when I come over that. Yeah, absolutely. And Sharon can watch it with him whenever. Oh, we love it. You need to come over and show them high school musical because Dave is never going to do that. I'm never going to do that. I don't know why I would do that because it's a monumental. It isn't movie for all children. Movie came out 10 years before they were born. High school musical.

[00:50:53] They freaking love it. Why don't we just have an, uh, an aunt Sharon night where I just take all four kids and we watch them at high school musical. Go for it. And we have a dance, a massive dance party. Set it up. Go for it. Set it up is also a good movie, but not a D come. Got to kick it up. Got to kick it up. Uh, let's, uh, let's get to our list. We just have, we just have D come night with on share. Uh, let's get to our podcast. We kick you out. That's right. We get your kids in. Yeah. Go for it.

[00:51:21] Uh, where's this movie going to land on our list? I'll start with you, Sharon. What'd you think? Where's this movie landing on your list? Break the top 10. It did not break the top 10. Um, but it is a lot higher than I thought it would be. Um, especially like before I watched it, I was like, yeah, I've seen this. She's a warrior. She doesn't, she's a homecoming. She's a warrior. She's popular, but she learns the lesson of like giving up that life for, I guess, warrior life. I don't know.

[00:51:51] Um, but very much like that, you know, there are D comes that I own and I, I watch repeatedly and this was never one of them. So I figured it was going to be more towards like the lower half. Um, and surprisingly it's going to air. It's going to premiere at 18 on my list. So 18. All right. Behind quince and ahead of cheetah girls. Cheetah girls is really becoming that defining like moment in my, my list where I'm like, it was better than that. Yeah.

[00:52:19] This movie is better than cheetah girls. Um, cheetah girls just gets like the soundtrack bump where I'm like, yeah, it's a soundtrack bump. Um, I was listening to radio Disney, uh, cause I am still a child at heart and Cinderella came on the other day and I was like, yeah, I still love this soundtrack. I'm happy that cheetah girls are still getting airtime on radio Disney. That makes me happy. Yeah. So anyway, 18 top 10 has not changed. Uh, 10 Halloween town nine, get a clue eight Eddie's million dollar cook off.

[00:52:50] Seven phantom of the megaplex six smart house, five Johnny tsunami four, right on track three cadet Kelly to high school musical and one motocross. Um, and I will note it hasn't moved yet, but I've been thinking about mom's got a date with a vampire. It's it's 23 on my list and 23. I know Caroline Ray. That movie is Aaron Shay. Hey, that's an iconic D company.

[00:53:19] You have it at 20, but that's also a movie. But it's not what I watched as a kid. Like it's not for me. It's that's a movie that I would call. Like if we were doing deck to hallmark real movie territory, like it's a well made. So this is where my list gets like, there are the iconic ones that I know. And those get like, and I know where those fall on my list. And that was one that I kind of saw for the first time as an adult, but much like you with hand with the megaplex, like I keep thinking about it. Yeah. So it's, it's, I have less of it. Like I have mom's got a date with a vampire all the way up at four. Yeah.

[00:53:47] I've never thought about moving that whenever I look at fan of the megaplex, I'm like, I like this movie better than it is. I don't think that about mom's got a day with a vampire. That movie is as good as I like it. Like it's a good movie. Phantom of the megaplex just worked for me cause I love the movie. We rank our list a little differently. Mine is like the deciding factor for me is which one would I rather watch again? I'm unburdened by my childhood memories of these movies. Yeah. I'm, I have those memories that are, you know, fighting with my, my 15 year old self on Twitter girls every day of my life over here.

[00:54:18] Um, so bad. I just want to wear matching jumpsuits and sing in the middle of a New York city street. I don't know what you want from me. Come on brand. Would you wear a matching jumpsuit with me? Heck yeah. Okay, great. We'll get decom tracksuits. Speaking of mom, mom's got a day with a vampire. Um, for a theme. Mom's got a day with a vampire is just outside of my top 10. Uh, it's at number 12 for me and I have Wendy Wu coming in right behind mom's got a day with a vampire number 13. That's where it's premiering on my list.

[00:54:47] Um, my top 10 is unchanged. Phantom at 10 full court miracle, nine smart house at eight. Eddie's million dollar cook off. Uh, uh, I think any of us thought going into this. Yeah. Cadet Kelly at six, get a clue at five high school musical at four. Moto crossed three. Johnny tsunami at number two and the greatest movie of our time. And anytime Brink. I will say if I, this is what has stopped me today from moving up. Mom's got a date, but it is behind Brink.

[00:55:17] So if I hold it up, Brink drops down. That is hysterical. Mom's got a date with a vampire is just a better movie than Brink. This is, this is just purely based on childhood. Based on your childhood nostalgia. That's all it is. Brink is Brink. And I bring Brink. Brink is Brink. Um, I thought I would have Wendy Wu maybe the highest of anyone. I have the lowest. I have it the lowest of anyone at 20. Um, and I have it. Yeah. I think it's ahead of going to the mat. It's behind pixel. Perfect. Now pixel.

[00:55:47] Perfect is a very problematic movie. Yeah. But what, you know, if movies are really the idea of building a dream girl. Yeah, of course. That's what I do. You know, you know, weird science. Big fan of talk about it a lot. That's right. You mentioned every day. I was like, if I were to craft a perfect female, it would be Sarah, my wife. And I did it. Of course. That's right. Yeah. That's what he always made Sarah in a lab. Uh, so my, who's a hundred percent listening to this. That's right. Yeah.

[00:56:16] Um, my thing with all my movies that are, in the top 10 or top 15 or 20 that are not in the top 10 are movies that I think go by quickly and are more entertaining. So like they don't have low, like pixel purpose. Perfect is bonkers. No, no, but I do think it goes by a little bit quicker than Wendy Wu. And, and that's why I gave it the go ahead. Like luck of the Irish. I think Wendy Wu is a better movie than look at the Irish, but luck of the Irish is so crazy and goes by so quickly. This land is your,

[00:56:45] I feel like there is something to be said for that. Great. Go ahead. Sing the whole thing. The redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters. This land was made for you and me. There it is. So yeah, I've got it at 20. Um, I could, I could make a case for really it being in any of those spots, 16 to 20, but I like it at 20.

[00:57:14] My top 10 has not changed. Halloween town full court miracle scream team. Get a clue. Eddie's million dollar cook off. Phantom of the Megaplex. Mom's got a date with a vampire. Johnny tsunami cadet Kelly and moto crossed at one where I get the feeling. It will remain for the entirety of this podcast. Um, if we get to the end of this and motocross is still both of our number ones. Should we go dirt bike? We should totally go dirt bike riding. It will be a fun theme where we hurt ourselves.
