Final Episode Ratings

• Sabrina: 8 out of 10 “Smooth Justin Timberlakes”

• Will: 6.5 out of 10 “Smooth Justin Timberlakes”
  “This movie without Maggie Lawson would have been a four because the storyline, again, is… there is no such thing as a teen male supermodel.” (99:43–100:10)

---

Recurring Episode Themes

• Absurd but lovable DCOM logic (“You exchange lives in a bathroom and that’s it!”)
• The 2000s’ obsession with pop music and quick-fix transformations
• Silly-but-charming technical limitations—Internet Archive rips, split screen tech, etc.

[B]

Hey, Sabrina.

[A]

Yes?

[B]

How many movies do you think have been created where it's switching places?

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I think we'd at least be in the hundreds, don't you think?

[B]

I don't know. By the way. I have no answer to that. It's not like I have it set up where I'm like, it's 58. I don't know, it just seems like there's lots of.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I think there's over a hundred. Over a hundred. It doesn't seem like, you know, but in most of them, again, although it's not reinventing the wheel, if they can do it in a way that like, is entertaining, I'll take it. And I also enjoy because of like, acting experience and, you know, knowing how hard it is to do something like that, I give the actors props.

[B]

Oh, heck yeah. Absolute. So pitching one for you quickly. Right now there's two podcast hosts that switch places. So I become a young mom of two kids who has to do dancing recitals and all that kind of stuff, and you become the kind of like no kids, fun loving, 50 year old guy just kind of roaming the world having fun. What do you think?

[A]

Well, that's like my every Wednesday daydream. Will. Is that what it is like on Wednesdays? What does Will do? Oh, I bet you he's taking his nap right now. What am I doing? Sweating profusely. No makeup.

[B]

That's not Wednesdays. Every day. Every day two to four is nap time. Everyone knows that. That's how it should be. Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs and your popcorn and go back to a time when all the houses were smart. The wave tsunamis, and I could sleep an extra three hours a day. I'm Will Friedle.

[A]

And I'm Sabrina Bryan.

[B]

You better work CoverGirl. Yeah, there it is. I'm glad you did. No, that's What? I'm so glad you did it. Because this week we are diving into the world of high fashion body doubles and the origin of a pop star. Yeah, actually it's technically a pop movie star. Well, we'll get into it. It's 2000's wonderful world of Disney entry, Model Behavior. This movie premiered on March 12, 2000, was based on the book titled Janine and Alex. Alex and Janine by Michael Graubart. I hope I'm saying that right. Michael Graubart Levin. Levin has been called the Michael Jordan of ghostwriters. Get this. Having written, edited, or published more than 1,000 books over 35 years. That's a thousand people over 35 years. He's built a $20 million consultation business and appeared on TV shows like Shark Tank as a guest entrepreneur. The guy is the guru of the written word. Truly amazing. And here he is with an entry into the universe of dcoms. He has done it all. This was filmed in the Disney Channel. Capital to the north. Yes. Our wonderful neighbors to the north.

[A]

Oh, Canada.

[B]

Oh, Canada. Go smell one of their $20 bills. They smell like maple syrup. I'm not even making that up. It's true. I swear to God. Many people have called this gender bending comedy a cross between the Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. So I don't know. We can call it Parent Friday, Freaky Wednesday, Freaky Trap. But in reality, it is a modernized take on the classic Prince and the Pauper story. And it still gets talked about quite a bit years later. But that's really because of its soundtrack and very impressive cast where we get yet another actor playing two different characters. We've seen this a lot. I feel like we've been doing a lot of these a lot lately. We have. We just did MeToo. The other me. You did that last time. Me too. Is a movement. The other me is an Andy Lawrence movement. That's what it was. So it was. The other Me, I think is the one we were looking for.

[A]

No, you didn't just call me out.

[B]

Damn it.

[A]

All right, sorry. What's the other one we did? We did another one.

[B]

We've done a bunch of these. Lots of people trading.

[A]

It feels like it.

[B]

Trading characters. Yes. While we will get into Justin Timberlake and his role in this film soon, let's first talk music itself. Most notably the song Here We Go One more time by NSync. Thank you very much.

[A]

You better stop it.

[B]

This was my NSYNC people. This is when they used to sing for our Disney. One of the songs they would sing over and over and over again for us at all the Disney events.

[A]

Yes. Oh, wow.

[B]

It appeared in this as well as what I would argue is one of the songs that it is impossible, including for people like me who couldn't dance if our lives depended on it. Not to move and shake to it is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. Every time it's on, you just gotta move your feet. Plus entries from the Rhythmix and Switchfoot, also very notable additions for a dcom. It is very music heavy, but I would like to focus specifically on a girl group that I have a history with because not Only do they have four songs on this soundtrack. They also show up in the movie It's Nobody's Angel, a Disney signed act that if you're a Boy Meets World fan, they're known as the waitresses Sean runs into during his senior road trip in what was truly a bat crazy episode of Boy Meets World that we of course, did on Pod Meets World. As a fellow girl bander, Sabrina, had you ever heard of Nobody's angel or worked with them or any of that kind of stuff?

[A]

Never worked with them, but for sure had their, like single at least. For sure. This was my. I mean, I loved pop groups. I loved the girl ones, the boy ones, the ones with girls and boys. Like the. The pop groups were. Were it. It was awesome.

[B]

So I can only think of one with both girls and boys. Can you think of more than one? I can only think of one. Well, can you think of S Club 7.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

That's when I was Club Ain't no party like an S Club party. Of course. Am I wrong?

[A]

Stalking the hell out of me today.

[B]

Am I wrong?

[A]

These songs.

[B]

Come on. It's Club 7.

[A]

Yes. I mean, well, that's the only one I can think of. But there was definitely more. As the time went on, there was, like I said, there was just pop groups coming out of pop groups.

[B]

I mean, it was a big pop group time at this point.

[A]

A million girl groups, a million boy groups. It just was that. That was this era for sure.

[B]

Were you ever in another pop group other than the Cheetah Girls? Did you ever. Were you ever in another girl group? Would you ever go to start another girl group? I was.

[A]

I was. There was one of the agents within the group that had gotten a four or five of us or no five or five. Around five or six of us. But it was a girl and guy group, but it was all made out of dancers. Oh, we got together, did a meeting, we had a rehearsal, we met with the producer and then nothing.

[B]

What was the name of the band? Did you even have a name?

[A]

I don't even think we had a band. No, it was kind of like there was a core of us and we couldn't find the other members. And then it kind of just never went anywhere.

[B]

All right, I would like to propose the name Sabrina and the Nobodies. That's what I was. That's the name I'm gonna pick. And it is now canon. Thank you very much. Rotten Tomatoes has this movie sitting at 65%, which, all things considered, is actually pretty. Okay, I'll take a DCOM in the 60 to 70% range any day. Hell, in this day and age, I'll take a Marvel movie at 65. So that's just the way it is. This film has one of my absolute favorite movie tropes of all time. It is the best thing ever. It works every time. Because it's so stupid, it doesn't actually ever work. Which is when an extraordinarily attractive actress is dressed up as a nerd by giving her glasses and putting her hair up. Yep, that's it. So at some point, she could just take off those glasses and let her hair down and. Oh, my God, she was gorgeous all the time. What a wow. We didn't see that. She was actually a 10. Are you kidding me? Come on. It is just pure cinema. I absolutely love it. And here we get a double whammy because the hot girl and the nerd girl are played by the same girl. Yes, that's right. But before we get into that, you can watch Model Behavior right now. But for the first time ever, we had to get a little creative. And we talked about this on the last podcast, where Tara producer Tara suited up in a stealth suit and we had to break into the CIA Disney building much the same way as Tom Cruise in A Mission Possible, where if she touched the floor, everything would have been over.

[A]

She had a harness.

[B]

She had a harness and a rope, and she came down and she was able to sneak off in a fire truck. Yes. Through rigorous research and intense navigation from said producer Tara, we found a way to watch it through the Internet Archive. That's right. This movie is so forgotten that we had to go back in time with a site that makes sure things don't get lost forever. It's crazy. So we'll be putting the link that we used in the show notes and on our Instagram. So you can go and watch it now before we get into it or after. Either way, it's going to ruin the tour. The world tour. Yeah, that's right.

[A]

But to be. To give you a little bit of a sidebar and a disclaimer, when you pull it up, there's a weird image on it.

[B]

It looks like Freddy Krueger.

[A]

It looks like Freddy Krueger. So I'm like, did they just give me the wrong link? And, oh, no. And no. It's the movie.

[B]

It does.

[A]

I got a little worried at first.

[B]

It is not the best quality, we'll be honest with you. Watch it on its smallest screen, if you can. Watch it on.

[A]

Made me more nervous about it. Than it actually was.

[B]

It wasn't too bad, but it's like watching something on the YouTubes where it's like, okay, this ripped from TV. It doesn't look great, but you get the gist of what's going on. And I ask you this every week because we're supposed to. It's part of our contract. Had you heard of this movie before we saw it?

[A]

I had seen it once.

[B]

You've seen this before?

[A]

Once, yes. You know, ginormous fan of NSync. Like ginormous. So anything any of them ever did outside of their group, I would watch. But I wasn't like a giant, like taro giant fan. Lots of our producers, giant fans. It wasn't a movie I watched over and over again, but I liked it. I remember liking it, but wasn't, I guess at the age demo to be obsessed with it the way I think there a lot of our fans are going to be nostalgic and obsessed about this movie.

[B]

Well, I talked to producers now that I watched it again, who said she watched it over and over. Yeah, she's like, I watched this movie over and over and over again.

[A]

You can re watching it. I was like, oh, this, this, this movie was probably giant. Giant.

[B]

Oh, I'm sure. Knock, knock.

[A]

Who's there?

[B]

I never heard of this movie before it came out. Now let's remodel your mirror and look into your own eyes. It's time for the synopsis. When shy, awkward Alex Burrows dreams of escaping her ordinary teenage life, she discovers that she looks exactly like glamorous teen supermodel Janine Adams. After the two girls switch places, Alex is thrust into the cutthroat world of fashion. The while Janine experiences normal high school life, leading both to discover who they really are and what truly matters. This movie was directed by Mark Rossman. He had directed a wonderful world of Disney movie called Time Flyer early in his career and would go on to direct a very few decoms, including the often referenced Life Size with Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks. He has some other big titles on his resume, including A Cinderella Story, the Perfect man, both with Hilary Duff, which makes sense because he directed a lot of the Lizzie McGuire show too. It also kind of awesome that Rossman began his career with a genre b movie, the 1982 slasher the House on Sorority Row. So certainly a fun career trajectory. Now let's get into the very impressive cast. Maggie Lawson stars in this movie as Alex Burrows and Janine Adams, pulling off the dcom double duty, something we just recently saw in Andy Lawrence's MeToo. I'm kidding. That's what Sabrina calls it. It is the other me. Lawson is best known as Juliet in Psych, but has been acting since she was a kid, even appearing on Boy Meets World, some other shows you've seen her on as a kid, Step by Step, Home Improvement, Party of Five and Felicity. But as she grew up, she continued to work and work and work and work and work. She's seen in films like Pleasantville, Gamer and a bunch of popular Christmas movies and TV shows like Two and a Half Men, Party of Five and the Ranch. She is also incredibly talented and a very, very nice person. Next up, and I think we're forced to put her in the Dabney Reynolds chair, it's TV host hall of famer Kathie Lee Gifford as Deirdre. From 1985 to 2000, she was the host of Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. I hope I did the exclamation point proud there. A staple of daytime TV that even I was on that revolutionized the time spot I will never forget. I walked out and Regis looked at me and went, wow, look at the stars in this kid's eyes. It was the greatest entrance I've ever had. It's true.

[A]

You still have them? Will you still have them? Thank you.

[B]

Those wide eye stars. She is now part of another massive TV program, co hosting the fourth hour of NBC's Today show alongside Hoda. She's been nominated for 11 Daytime Emmy nominations, winning one, but she has done it all. She's a singer, an actress, a host, a spokesperson, and a great talk show guest too. She's a legend and her son Cody is in this movie as well. He plays Max Adams and is a terrible, terrible actor. Then making his film debut, it is Justin Timberlake as Jason. Justin Timberlake became famous as a founding member of the legendary boy band NSINK, I think is how you pronounce it. NSync. NSync. Always the golden boys standout heartthrob of the five members. He eventually put together a very impressive solo career and a pivot to Hollywood. He appeared in the true crime drama Alpha Dog, the Social Network, Friends with Benefits and Palmer, but is now best known as the voice of Branch in the Trolls movies. Also worth noting, he is a hall of fame SNL host. I'm not even going to ask because you've already told me. You're clearly. Was he your favorite of the NSynchers?

[A]

No. You know what's crazy? I was thinking about that as I was Watching the movie, then thinking about it, you know, over the last couple days, I wasn't really a giant fan of any of them, particularly individually. I didn't have a crush on any of them. I didn't think any of them were, like, so gorgeous. Except for now, my homie Joey Fatone, you know, you're the best. But at the time, I really legitimately didn't have that for NSync. What I loved about NSync is I thought they were phenomenal and I thought they were so talented. Their songs were so good, their music videos were so creative. I thought they were the best boy band out there. Absolutely. Hands down. But I was realizing that watching this movie, I think I always kind of thought, like, oh, yeah, I'm sure I had a crush. I never had a crush on any of them, which is weird.

[B]

Who did you have a crush on growing up?

[A]

Jesse from Full House Standout.

[B]

There you go. So you're a John Stamos fan?

[A]

Yeah, huge. He just posted something about him singing in Japan, and I was like, oh, man, how much is it to get to Japan?

[B]

Wow. Wow. How many yen are you gonna spend to go over and see this guy? And you are too.

[A]

I'm not. I would never. But, yeah, I guess. Yeah, I didn't really. I don't. I don't feel like I had, like.

[B]

You see, from Full House is a perfectly acceptable answer.

[A]

I'm just curious. Okay, well, I'm gonn stick with them.

[B]

I saw Backstreet Boy at Sphere again. I've talked about it. It's such a phenomenal show. And I got to. We. We asked them, you know, hey, do you think NSync should do this? What would it take to get them back together? And just the idea of NSYNC at Sphere would be phenomenal. I mean, they would sell it out every night just like Backstreet Boys did. Because it's a great venue and a great band. They really were.

[A]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

And I mentioned these girls earlier, but Boy and Pod Meets World fans will recognize nobody's angel playing themselves. The girl group was signed by Disney Records and were place all over their programming in an attempt to blow them up, including a somewhat strange episode of Boy Meets World Bat set in a diner. But this is another example of the studio's attempted synergy, even if, unfortunately, it failed in the end.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this movie runs. Oh, oh, it's a wonderful dish that I want to suckle at the teat of. It runs 85 minutes. Love it, guys. Not 90, but close enough. And most importantly, short enough, you know what they say, under 90, and that is findy. No one actually says that. And I'm embarrassed that I just did. And I just want you all to know that I apologize. And the movie has three writers. First up, we have David Kukoff and Matt Rushkow, a writing team that didn't really have a ton of credits, but they are heavy on the dcoms. And they wrote a little film called H e Double Hockey Sticks, a movie starring the beautiful Matt Lawrence and nobody else.

[A]

No, no, no, Will.

[B]

I was in it. They also wrote Mr. Headmistress, switching goals and the ABC family film with my pal Christy Carlson Romano called Campus Confidential. Then we have Michael Levine or Levine, and this is his only writing credit. This is another one of those situations we've talked about a number of times where someone had the idea and they were paired off with somebody that Disney trusted. Happens all the time.

[A]

Growing up, family traditions meant everything. Favorite Mexican meals, holiday parties, even choreographed dances in the living room. Those little moments shape who you are. Hi, I'm Sabrina Bryan, co host of the Magical Rewind podcast, where reliving favorite moments is what it's all about.

Partnering with my Cultura Podcast network to help celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Here's how singer songwriter Sebastian Yatra incorporates his culture into his music.

[B]

My culture has inspired my music and songwriting, I think from generations on over. I have it in my blood, my family, my grandparents. I feel like all this lineage with.

[A]

Me everywhere I go.

[B]

The mountains in Colombia. It's all there somehow, and it's inexplicable in certain ways. But then you hear the music and you feel it. I think language and family and culture and ways of seeing life and the passion that Colombia has and everything it does and the things we've been through together as a country, they really inspire you to create and give your best.

And so it's almost the fall ball. So let's get a guy to like you by lying about your identity. Let's get into model behavior. We open at a house party and we experience it from behind a camcorder. Remember those people? People are dancing, couples are making out, and sweater vests are worn by all. We meet Alex, who Sharon the videographer, has found locked in a bedroom. Alex is dweeby. You can tell because she has glasses. So is Sharon, who's also wearing glasses and their hair isn't long and flowy. Nerds. Sharon says that the it's so ridiculous, but it's true. These two incredibly beautiful girls that are the nerds of the school.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Sharon says the target is in the living room and she's talking about cutie Eric Singer, a hunk that barely knows Alex exists. But the fall ball is in two weeks and she needs a date. Sharon acts as the perfect hype woman, telling her she's funny and cool and the next fresh face in the fashion industry. The speech gives her bestie enough confidence to leave the bathroom, and boom. She bumps literally right into Eric Singer. But before she can say anything other than, well, hello, her pager goes off. Yes. Oh, it was so comforting. Welcome back to pager's magical rewind. Always happy to see you return. Instinctually, she tells Eric it's her mom and dad, then quickly corrects herself, it's someone else's mom and dad. Eric wants to know one thing, though. Can she please move? He needs to go to the bathroom. And to add insult to injury, some cool girl saw the whole thing go down and call her a bag lady. Alex leaves the party thinking her sad sack nerd life will never change because, again, glasses, she doesn't have much of a life ahead of her. When she returns home, she's startled by the bright light of her little brother's camcorder. There's camcorders all over this movie. Two in the first 90 seconds, he's busting her for missing curfew. Once upstairs, her dad expresses his disappointment because she's too tired for school and works. She helps him with catering. She admits she's now the junior class spinster and closes herself off in her bedroom. Now in bed, she looks at the new issue of Teen Flair, which I'm sure was supposed to be Teen Beat or Teen People. She dreams of a life like the COVID girl. Being a supermodel would just be the best. As she falls asleep, we cut to that beautiful covergirl, Janine Adams, trying to order some greasy Chinese food from her house, which, by the way, has a car inside of it. She's interrupted by her mom, Deirdre. Disappointed that she's ordering fattening foods, she takes the phone away and orders her steamed broccoli. Yes, it is the return of that fan favorite. Another reoccurring theme of dcoms, weight issues and eating disorders for young women. These are just so common in the media at the time.

[A]

Terrible pain.

[B]

Yep. Well, we'll get into that. We get a mention of star 69 here, too. Sabrina, do you remember how revolutionary that was?

[A]

I was like, star 69 on my Sabrina sees, like, oh, that used to be the best thing you could do on a phone line. A landline, people. A landline. The oh man.

[B]

Call killer.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Janine is set off to do a face mask. And we established that she has a real momager type with Kathy Lee Gifford. Also, Janine's little brother, played by Kathy Lee's son, booked a photo shoot that will send them off to Aruba for two weeks, leaving Janine home alone. She's clearly excited to be away from the pressures of her stage mom. Now in bed, she sees herself on tv. It's a House of Fashion magazine show all about how she's taking the fashion world by storm. And she's gotten the attention of fellow teen model hottie and lothario Jason Sharpe. Okay, bear with me. This does not excite Janine, who quickly changes the channel to the Food Network. It's about baking cakes and she loves it. Cooking seems to be a real passion. But as soon as she's experiencing joy, Deirdre yells at her. Lights out. House of fashion. More like house arrest. Okay, can anyone, especially back in the day, name a male 17 year old supermodel? Was there even such a thing? Did that exist?

[A]

Yes, I think Ashton Kutcher was on the Runway at Walking the Runway at 17. Riley Smith. Yes, Riley Smith talked about it. He was a model. He was like a New York Runway model.

[B]

Right. He might have been walking, but nobody knew Ashton Kutcher back in the day as a model. Nobody knew Ashton Kutcher until he was on. He was an actor.

[A]

Oh, I see what you're saying.

[B]

There wasn't like a famous teen model. That was a guy.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

I mean, when they said that, they're like, he's the most famous teen supermodel. I'm like, that's not a thing. You're making up a category.

[A]

Yeah. And why couldn't have he just been a pop star?

[B]

Right?

[A]

Like he, like he was.

[B]

Why couldn't he been Mustin Timberlake? Like why. Why would they?

[A]

But he wants to be named Mustin.

[B]

Mustin. Great name. I get a kid now, that's his name. It's gonna be little Mustin. Girl or boy?

[A]

The mustiest of musty.

[B]

Exactly. This is my son, Mustin. I love it.

[A]

Oh my God, I love it.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. I just didn't. It didn't make any sense to me. But anyway.

[A]

Yeah, no, that's true. That's a good point.

[B]

Because that's make him a pop star. It didn't.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's no such thing as a male teen supermodel. It's not A category? Yeah. Make him. There's so many things. Make Mustin an actor.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The next morning, we are back at Alex's house. She tries to get her dad to look at her sketches, but he's busy working on the catering job, which, of course, she's dressed to help alone. Alex also announces she's on a diet because we can't just have one female character unhealthily mentioning her weight. But we need two. Also, Alex got some mail. It's a letter from the Fashion Institute summer program. They're coming in two weeks to do a home interview. And ladies and gentlemen, we might have new inductees to the Bad Decom Parents Club. As her dad barely cares and her mom suggests, quote, unquote, newer clothes for when the school official visits. Oh, boy. Do I have your approval, Sabrina? Do you think they're. They're not quite the worst, but they still kind of suck on both sides?

[A]

Yes. I mean, absolutely. This dad is. And I. I get it. I. I didn't have parents that had a business growing up that I had any opportunity to, like, participate in. Right.

[B]

My wife.

[A]

Okay, imagine, like, we watched the movie with the Indian restaurant that she was a server at. So I. I assume when that kind of happens, like you have a family business, that your kids could actually participate and help, but the idea of that becoming more than any other thing like this just seems like too much. Like you're putting on too much for your young kid who should have the opportunity to be a kid, whether or not they take on this business. Like, why are you making those kinds of decisions when they're.

[B]

That's Susan, 13, 14. Susan worked in her family business, but they always. She was a cheerleader and they. You know, she always had a life, but she also worked in the family business. Everybody did. So it was that same kind of thing. But it wasn't like you can't go out and have a Life because at 16, you're responsible for keeping my business afloat.

[A]

Right. And he also is talking about her being, like, a big CEO, which is great.

[B]

I think goals are good.

[A]

Putting those goals out there, having your kids drive for something. But at the same time, like, once you graduate high school and college, that is your life. Having a career and doing whatever those decisions are. Let your kids be kids. For a minute, I instantly was like, oh, I hate this. And then, of course, you know, it's hard to not understand that this is a typical crazy stage mom.

[B]

Oh, yeah, there. This is. This. I've met people like this. I mean, this Is not. It's not a caricature. There's shit like this.

[A]

And this is a huge reason why I would also a part of a reason why I would want to pull back from putting Monroe in. Because I would never want anyone to think that that would be because of something that maybe I didn't fulfill within my career. So now I'm having my kid do it. Oh, no, no.

[B]

Terrible.

[A]

She's gonna have to pull me by my. Ha.

[B]

Yeah. Which is what I had to do with my parents.

[A]

Which is what I had to do with mine.

[B]

Beg and beg for years.

[A]

It took me like two, two, almost three years. So if she wants to do it, she's going to have to really show me that this is what she wants. Otherwise, like, yep, we're going to find a new dream.

[B]

Crazy. As long as her. As long as the dream is also yours, that'll be fine.

[A]

Yes, of course. As long as this is your dream.

[B]

You are going to build model trains for the rest of your life. We are now back with Janine, who is busy being an elite model, yelling at a manicurist and screaming for a latte. This is when we meet Monique, her assistant, a meager Scooby Doo Thelma looking girl who likes to keep her schedule. Deirdre is on her way out. Sad. She's going to miss her daughter's first book launch, but suggests it would be good for her career to date that heartthrob Jason Sharpe. So she's also trying to pimp her out to Jason. But Janine isn't hearing it. Deirdre explains, when she was a model, she did everything her handler told her to do because they know what they're talking about. And with that, Deirdre and little brother Max finally leave the star model home alone. We also got an offensive word in the scene, something we would never hear in a Disney movie. Now, really, any movie. She calls him the M word, which nobody says anymore. And it's just a good example how some words just aren't used anymore and we move on. Hey, we don't judge it. It was of the time, but it hits the ear weird when you hear it now. And that's exactly how it should do.

[A]

Sometimes I look at my fur baby's face and think, how can so much love fit in something so small? It's pure, it's deep, and it makes me want to give them everything. But the truth is, sometimes I can't. I miss a walk. I get home late. I feel like it's just not enough. That's when I remind myself I'm only human. And because you're only human, there's Hill's Pet Nutrition. Hills Science led nutrition helps you give more love than humanly possible. Every day I do my best to eat the most nutritious food, and when I'm feeding Pancho and Raju, the same rules apply.

Now, over at Alex's catering gig, she is hard at work but still looking dorky. Then it's revealed that she's not just catering, but the Janine Adams book launch. Yes, our two characters are intersecting everybody. Here we go. About to go down. Janine pulls up in a limo to tons of adoring fans and paparazzi. But instead of signing autographs, assist Monique just stamps photos as they pass. Yes, Janine is a diva. Now inside the party, she's talking to a reporter trying her hardest to seem excited about the new coffee table book. But she's drawn in by a gorgeous and glorious smell. Yes, smells can be gorgeous, too. It's the hors d' oeuvres being passed around by Alex. And now Janine rushes over to take a piece from Alex's plate. But as she takes a bite, something more important has stolen her attention. It's Alex, who in the process, accidentally drops her plate on Janine, dumping finger foods all over her. Alex knows this is best, but Janine isn't bothered. She's more focused on how familiar the waitress looks. It's almost uncanny. And so the model pulls the waitress into the less crowded bathroom. Now in a much more private setting, Janine pulls off Alex's chef hat and comments on their similarities. They look in the mirror and we get a very cool two shot where one Maggie Lawson pulls the glasses off another Maggie Lawson. And it might have just been the. The quality of the rip that I was watching where it was really kind of degraded and didn't look great, but. But this looked pretty damn good.

[A]

It did. It really did. I went, oh. I mean, I was shocked, I guess. I don't know what year it was that this was actually able to be, like, correctly done.

[B]

Seamless, right? But it's seamless to do this in a movie. Like this in 2000. I thought the looks ephes epic. Yeah, for sure. The effects in this movie, which again, there weren't a ton of them, but. And they did that the way they did it was not only great, but you have to shout out the very subtle differences. Some of them were big differences. But then she did very subtle differences that Maggie Lawson did between the two characters where even when they were on screen and not speaking, when they did the split screen, you knew who was who.

[A]

It so true.

[B]

And that is just down to Maggie Lawson, who is. If go back and look at some of her other stuff, she is a very good and horribly underrated actress, especially back in the day.

[A]

Maggie, so good.

[B]

Very, very talented. And you can see it in the stunning. No, she's not. One of her was stunning. The other had glasses. Not stunning, obviously. Sabrina, glasses. Sabrina, glasses in a ponytail.

[A]

Sabrina glass sunglasses. Some women look gorgeous in glasses and this is one of them.

[B]

Gorgeous in glasses. She's a 10. Maggie Lawson is a 10. No matter what she is. My God, that's why it's like, oh, God, she's got glasses. She's a nerd. Anyway. Yes, she's a very, very good actress. Anyway, Janine is convinced that with just a little help, they could be twins. So Janine wants to know everything about being a commoner. She asks what it's like eating in a cafeteria or going to school. Janine can't stay out past 10. All of her friends are 20 years older than her and she can only eat ice. And that's when it happens. Janine wants to trade places with Alex. Monique knocks on the bathroom door. She's looking for Janine. And Alex's dad is in the kitchen needing his daughter's help. Help. But in the bathroom. Alex can't believe this is a real opportunity. But with Janine's mom out of town for two weeks, it could just work out. They'll switch for a week and just trade the key stats of their lives. And so then we have a deal. Deal struck. People. The girls trade clothes and lives, obviously. And we have the plot of our movie with the Nobody's Angels song. Here's where I was like, wait a second, just hold the phone, my peeps. They're there for like maybe 15 or 20 seconds.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

They know nothing about each other's lives.

[A]

This is going to go bad so quickly. How do they. Nothing like. And it's not even during a time where I could quickly get out my phone and be like, okay, well, here's what my dad looks like, he's.

[B]

Here's my mom.

[A]

Here's my whole family. Here's. Let me out. What's your phone number? Let me text you my address so you can always get to the house. Here's my. My school schedule. Like, there's a bunch of crap that needs to be exchanged.

[B]

Here's my best friend. Here's the. Here's what? Oh, geez. I have a photo shoot on Tuesday. Monique will take care of all your stuff. It's like they just go, let's trade clothes. Okay, bye. Are you insane? This is where they needed a rewrite.

[A]

To me, but truly. No, but this is exactly. Well, no, I guess they sat down and had lunch. I know what movie you're talking about now. I can't remember the name of it. She was a brunette. She. One was a skater girl. The other one was from. One had an accent. She was from, like, London. Frenemies. Frenemies.

[B]

Frenemies. Yes. Yes. At least they sat down and.

[A]

They sat down and had, like, a lunch. That made sense. You cannot tell me a bathroom visit was long enough for even a girl visit.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Is. It's like, you're not. We. You. You've literally exchanged no information about your lives. You've just traded clothes and lives and just, like, go.

[A]

Like.

[B]

How do they not say, like, here's what we're going to do. We're going to. Oh, my God, we have to do this. We're going to meet tomorrow. They should have met at exactly the same place they meet at to trade lives is the same place they meet to trade back.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So in front of the school, 6am we're going to meet tomorrow and they meet. And whether you see the scene or you don't see the scene, you at least allude to the fact that you're learning some shit about the other person.

[A]

Yes. Right. This.

[B]

Yeah, that was the part to me where I was like, wait.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

Like, you're just. What? You're just walking out and now you're. That's it. So. Yeah, that, that. And again, this is not. I did not dislike this movie. This was not a bad movie. There's a lot about this movie that was really cute.

[A]

You have to go. Wait a minute.

[B]

Yeah, and I don't mind suspending some disbelief. Like, let me suspend some belief here a little bit. That's fine.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

But, dude, give me some bullet points of who you are.

[A]

Yes. This is an epic, epic thing.

[B]

Like, this was a big. This was a big what if you.

[A]

What if. What if one of you were, like, actually allergic to something.

[B]

Yes, exactly.

[A]

You know, something.

[B]

Yeah. By the way. Yeah. Yeah, it's. I. I'm allergic. I'm horribly allergic to peanuts or shellfish or something. Let's. It's. You gotta learn something about each other. So this, to me, was a big, big hole in the movie. When I explained that last night to producer Tara, she, of course got instantly offended.

[A]

And that's why she's not.

[B]

In a funny way.

[A]

Thanks a lot.

[B]

No, but she also said, apparently it's the same way in Freaky Friday. In the Parent Trap, like, they just switch up and don't. Don't explain it to each other.

[A]

No, because in the Parent Trap, don't they.

[B]

Don't they explain it in Parent Trap.

[A]

They live together and they're. They, they give each other. They're like, quizzing each other on, like, there you go. Like, where? What's my Wednesday schedule? They do a whole quiz thing.

[B]

See? Quiz thing. Producer Tara, quiz thing. Anyway, well, there we go. The girls return to the party knowing literally nothing about each other. Now, in totally different situations, Janine quickly returns to serving while Alex is signing autographs, something the model doesn't normally do, but she does. Now, Janine ends her night at Alex's house. And at this point, I think this might just be a crime. Could she be arrested for just pretending to be someone else? She's not lying to the entire family and entering their home. Also, these two must look exactly the same if their dad can't notice any difference.

[A]

But then there's another question. And this is one of the things that they did the in frenemies I remember us talking about that they didn't say, hey, you look exactly like me. Which one of our parents had a rendezvous in another bathroom.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And then the mom was pregnant with for nine months. Like, what? Who's who? Where? We got to get on top of this giant lie that we've been living.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

For six years, 16 years.

[B]

Because one of us was given away at birth. Do you have a medallion? Do I have the other half of a medallion? Do I need to connect things?

[A]

Like, that was the. The Parent Trap thing. Like, oh, you're got it.

[B]

Like, you're clearly kidding me.

[A]

We have to talk about the fact that we are clearly twins.

[B]

There's people that look like other people. You see that all the time. But identical like that. You're related. You're related.

[A]

People will come and talk to me about looking like Shawn Johnson or sometimes I get Mariah Carey. But if I stood next to next to them, you would clearly see that we weren't the.

[B]

You're not the same people. Yes, yes. Somebody in those families. Yeah. Was a cheater, cheater, compulsive eater.

[A]

That's just the way that it works. That's where I'd be like, who? Who are we mad at? We're mad at both of our parents. Is it my mom and your dad or is it my dad and your mom?

[B]

Somebody did something because we're literally identical. But one of them has glasses. Back in the city, Alex is wowed by the bright lights and Monique's constant working. She thinks she could get used to this new life. The next morning, Jeanine wakes up in Alex's modest home and tries on a more basic off the rack clothing from the closet, all to the very familiar and wonderful toe tapping, walking on sunshine. Meanwhile, Alex is loving her new posh digs, but is interrupted by Monique. It's time for her alfalfa wheatgrass shake. And her trusty assistant is already surprised that her boss now wants to do things by herself. It's a new independent Janine. And at Alex's house, Janine arrives downstairs just in time for family breakfast and exclaims, it's just like the 50s. Which is really funny. A plate of bacon, eggs and pancakes. She couldn't be more excited. Until it's yanked from her. Right. She's on a self imposed diet. That's right. Poor Janine can't catch a break. And every dcom family is giving their daughter generational body issues, thank you very much. But she talks to her. But she talks her back into the big breakfast and she loves it. Even if her little brother feels like something is weird. And now back at high school, Janine surveys the scene and takes in something she never experienced. Coeds walking to class, hippies playing hacky sack, and a rock and roll dude playing electric guitar in the quad.

[A]

Okay. Oh, okay. I mean, maybe we need to take a poll on Instagram. That was not a normal thing at my high school.

[B]

You didn't have a rock and roll quad high school?

[A]

No. I mean there was bands that would play in the quad during like lunch or something like that. But like no one was sitting out on the front lawn of the.

[B]

The.

[A]

Of the.

[B]

Just playing. Playing an electric guitar.

[A]

No. Maybe, though I would love to know. And if people have that, tell us on the ig.

[B]

Hit us up. Let us know if you were high school. Yeah, exactly.

[A]

That's.

[B]

Jeez.

[A]

Crazy.

[B]

Sharon joins Janine before walking in. They have an awkward exchange about Eric Singer. And the infamous move moment from earlier. By the way, she doesn't know her friend's name until she looks down and sees it on her bag again. Would have been good information to have before they left the bathroom. An interaction and social disaster. Alex didn't obviously tell her about the move moment. Once in the hallways, Janine can't help herself. She's flirting with all the cute boys. Sharon is mortified. They're dorks. Not hottie. Hot, hottie, hot hots. Come on. Glasses. Yes, you got glasses and your hair is up. Know your place, Janine. But Janine won't accept her new status as a social outcast and even cheeses it up for a yearbook photo. But the good times come to a screeching halt when the cool girls in the school, led by Eric Singer's girlfriend, bully her, causing Janine to focus on something completely new during her time as Alex. Speaking of Alex, she's ready for her first swimsuit modeling session as Janine. Again. Would have been nice though. He had a photo shoot worth noting. The photographer is weirdo with an eye patch making her even more uncomfortable. I think eye patches can be used as by photographers. They keep one eye, but then you're supposed to use that eye in the camera lens, which he doesn't do. So it's just.

[A]

Yeah, but didn't he look, look a lot like the, the villain? Yes.

[B]

That we just saw.

[A]

Just so much like him from me. Too weird. I was like, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute. Looking at my like information going, no, it's a different actor, different guy, but.

[B]

Look just like him. Very similar vibes too. Very.

[A]

Yes. Now see, he was funny.

[B]

I like those two guys look alike but are not identical.

[A]

How? But they look so much alike that if they were sitting next like, like not knowing them, I would maybe still.

[B]

Be able to tell them apart. Sabrina. You'd still be able to tell them apart, Sabrina. You'd at least know it was two different dudes. You could tell. You might not know who was who, but you'd know it was two different dudes.

[A]

Yes, well, and their family certainly would.

[B]

Yeah. So as he tries to take photos, Alex covers herself, hides behind the plants and withers away as the pics are taken, making Eyepatch man both angry and kind of stimulated. Yet at school, Janine is in history class trying to sharpen a pencil at her desk. When the teacher wonders why she's not paying attention. Janine responds like a real frankly telling the teacher to do her tax funded job. And her classmates are impressed. And somehow that didn't get her in any trouble, which I found weird.

[A]

How did she not get detention from that?

[B]

I don't know. And I would have given her detention.

[A]

Yes. And it's a look into this. Like these like. Oh, just entitled little teenagers.

[B]

Like, oh gosh, they're the worst. By the way, have you noticed we are now 26 minutes into the film and we've had less than maybe five seconds now.

[A]

I was going, I thought I remembered Justin having an actual part. Is he just like a, you know.

[B]

Like a poster pin up boy, like a person?

[A]

Is he not actually going to be in this movie? Acting going, gosh, I guess I don't remember much about this movie, but you do.

[B]

That's why we had to literally had to go to the Wayback Machine to find it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Back in the city, Alex and Monique are walking the New York streets when she's alerted of her monthly credit at department stores just so people can see her shopping in these places. It is a girl's dream. And then it happens, everyone. Oh, it happens, people. We get to dip our toes in the lake of timber. It is heartthrob Jason Sharpe walking out of a building, spotting who he believes is Janine. He quickly apologizes for a recent interview where he implied he made out with her at a shoot and swears he'll make it up to her. He, quote, has to book and jumps into a limo. But unlike Janine, Alex is in hook, line and sinker for a little male model supermodel, teenage supermodel action. Which isn't a thing. It's lunchtime at school and Janine and Monique take their seats at the nerd table cuz glasses watching Alex and his popular girlfriend from afar. But Janine has an idea. She makes her way over to the cool table and decides to, oh boy, wait for it. Pour milk on the head of his girlfriend. Again, not getting into any trouble whatsoever. Eric thinks it's hilarious, but this has started a war. Especially because she's lactose intolerant.

[A]

That's such a weird.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's just.

[B]

I don't. I'm lacto. Well, I put it on your head so you'll be fine.

[A]

Well, I didn't pour it down your mouth, so I think you're gonna be okay.

[B]

Fine.

[A]

Also, what teenage girl gets full who is fully done, gets a glass of anything pulled poured over her head and doesn't lunge for the jugular? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Never it ever a situation, especially in high School in front of everyone, and you just pour something and they let you pour a giant glass of it.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And nothing happens.

[B]

Nope. No fight. No trouble from the school.

[A]

No. I mean. And her. Her best friends are right there, too.

[B]

Yeah. No. Nobody does anything. Nobody does anything.

[A]

What's happening?

[B]

I don't know. What a world. But now we are back with Alex. She's visibly in a new, very cool clothes and has decided to walk and sightsee instead of taking the limo. A move Janine would never have done back in the suburbs. Alex has cooked her family breakfast, finally able to enjoy that love of culinary arts. And she's excited to help, quote, unquote, dad with his catering job. And like all good 90s 2000s thecoms, the New York girls have decided to rollerblade. Yes. Monique is nervous that they'll injure themselves, and she's starting to realize how much stress her job and Janine can create. So Alex decides to change the dynamics and let Monique know that she's appreciated. Something you can assume isn't done much. And now, when Janine walks the halls of the school, things have changed. Boys are the ones saying hi. And Jason apologizes for his earlier behavior. He promises he'll never ask her to move again, then asks her out for Saturday night. But the girls are supposed to switch their identities back on Friday, so Janine hopes to move everything back a week. Back at Janine's. Now, Jason Sharp has sent flowers, and he also wants a date on Saturday. So the two girls get on the phone and decide to have one more week of swapping. And these were like my favorite scenes where she's on the phone with herself because she plays them differently. And it works. But the deal has only one caveat. This swapping deal. Alex can't let Jason Sharp anywhere near her. But the real bad news is Alex's little brother overhears everything. Dun, dun, dun. But Alex doesn't follow the one caveat. So we cut to Alex's date with Justin Timberlake, AKA Jason Sharp. He has big bougie plans at a fancy restaurant. And at the same time, Eric pulls up and restored. Now, I love you, producer Jensen, but you wrote Firebird. It is not my friend. That is a Trans Am to get who he thinks is Alex. And though she expects a very typical teen date of mini golf, in the movies, Eric has done the unthinkable. But before we get into that, let's get this out of the way. The two girls are wearing the exact same outfits. Not planned, just a twist of fate. Apparently, or at least enough of ish, as I said that, Right? Enough of ish ashamedly to make it work. That's not the only coincidence, by the way. Eric has also reserved a table at the very same exclusive fancy restaurant that Jason Sharpe mentioned. And it would seem like a quote unquote, totally rad gesture, but Janine wanted something more. Normie. But we know this whole thing is going to be a problem, especially because Alex's little brother is falling close behind with his camcorder. What are you giggling at, Sabrina? What?

[A]

Normie.

[B]

What? He's gonna be a normie. A civilian bro. And Norms.

[A]

A civilian bro. A norm. Oh, my gosh, where are we? In the 2000s? For real? I. I think so.

[B]

I hope so. Now, inside the fancy restaurant, which we have to admit, is very beautiful. It's decorated like a Greek church. Jason and Alex arrive and don't have a reservation, but it's no problem. The famous couple is rushed to a VIP table just as the Trans Am arrives at the valet. To no fanfare or paparazzi. A new feeling for Janine. And when Eric gives his name to the host, his reservation is.

[A]

Eh.

[B]

Nope, wrong. Not town. Janine tries to step in. She knows the maitre d by name, but he says they only have tables for special people, not a dweeby girl in glasses. They're forced to leave, but Eric has a plan. He says he has some connections around the back of the restaurant, while inside, Alex and Jason's date is moving along. Jason swears his playboy reputation is just a tabloid lie and he's actually saving his modeling money to go to grad school for astronomy. Yeah, that sounds like a line. He mentions there's a meteor shower later that night and he wants to take her to see it. Which is exactly something a play player would say. Yeah, you want. Hey, babe, you want to come see my meteor shower? Huh?

[A]

I think this was, by the way, Justin's best scene. He was very charming in this scene.

[B]

Justin was clearly still trying to find himself as an actor.

[A]

Yes, but I think this was his best scene. I do.

[B]

Yeah. Because again, while again, he's finding his way, figuring out what to do. Go watch Alpha Dog. He's great. I mean, he's, yeah, social network, really good. But Alpha Dog, he kills it. That was a very intense movie to watch, and he's really, really good in it. And now in the back, as promised, Eric did have a connection. His dad works on the wait staff, and he snuck in a table for the couple in the way back near the kitchen and the bathroom is very cute. And just as everyone is getting comfortable, Alex's brother arrives, camcorder in hand. Apparently nobody notices this kid with the giant camcorder in the restaurant, but he's just. It's not, it's not surreptitiously where your phone. Where you can do this anymore. Back in the day, you were like.

[A]

This, like over the shoulder. Like, it's a big.

[B]

He needs like the guy holding the cords behind him, like old school, smoking the cigar. It's like you need a crew when you've got that kind of camcorder anymore.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

Yeah. So nobody notices that he's there, but he notices that both Janine and Alex are there. And that's odd. But again, even her brother can't tell the difference between the two of them. And then, guys, we enter what is truly one of the most ridiculous scenes in DCOM history. And I'm not sure anything will ever beat it. Both Janine and Alex go to the bathroom, still unaware of each other's presence. And coincidentally, the mirror in the bathroom is being remodeled. Now we know that because there's a giant printed sign that says mirror being remodeled. That's right, the mirror, not the bathroom, is being remodeled. This is perfect. So this creates one large sink with sinks on both sides, not divided by a mirror. It's worth stating, as far as I know, there's no bathroom in the world that's designed like this. Have you ever seen a bathroom like this where there's.

[A]

Yeah, there is like a center section and. Yes.

[B]

And it's divided by a mirror.

[A]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

Okay. In one room.

[A]

Yeah. Yes. I didn't think anything weird of that.

[B]

So you're saying it's kind of like a vanity where on both sides there's.

[A]

Sinks, is a mirror. Yeah, there's sinks and there's a mirror. That's like a two sided.

[B]

This isn't at a beauty parlor. This is inside of like a restaurant. In a bath. Like a restaurant. Okay. I mean, have you ever seen them remodel? Just the mirror?

[A]

I have never seen them remodel just the mirror. I think if the mirror was like broken, they'd probably.

[B]

You've never called Doug's mirror remodeling? They're very famous, weirdly enough. Yeah. So now Janine enters a stall as Alex exits one to wash her hands, passing like ships in the night. And again, the most insane scene because then Janine exits and starts washing her hands on the other side. But Alex doesn't see her until they're looking at each other through where the mirror would be. But they're doing the exact same thing at the exact same time. So even they can't tell the difference between themselves.

[A]

Which would mean and, and one of them clearly becomes left handed instead of right handed. Because you know what I mean? If you're, if you're gonna go touch something you and you're right handed, you're going with your right. You're not gonna go with your left.

[B]

We have to remind you they had to dress the same in order for this to work to, to pull this off. Cuz one scarf in the wrong way and everything's different. Different. So yeah, they're, they've got to be actual DNA twins at this point, not clones. Have you ever seen another person and thought, hey, that's me? No one. One time with Brad Pitt with his shirt on. That was it. One time I was like, is that me? And then I'm like, oh wait, Brad Pitt's abs. Yeah, but no, of course not. And they're like doing the mirror thing. But how would you not go like this? I mean it's, it was weird.

[A]

It was, it was so.

[B]

Because you have to buy the conceit that they not only look like each other, they have the same instincts, which at this point is a very tough pill to swallow. Well, yeah, they've switched for a week at this point. So now. Yeah, it's, it's, it's crazy.

[A]

Well, and the idea that they wouldn't be blinking or that they even just blinking together. Right. I mean that would be the first. The easiest thing to go is like that person just blinked.

[B]

They even both do the fake out. They both. Yes, they both do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They go to look down and then look up quick.

[A]

This kind of stuff though is like the fun comedy of Disney. Like that I was.

[B]

Okay, I will buy into the Disney of it all. The one thing I can't buy into is a remodeled mirror.

[A]

It's so the remodel mill.

[B]

So crazy. It's so insane to put that premise in there that I can't buy the rest. But I can buy that it's, it's such an insane premise. They had to write a. Literally had to write a note that, that says mirror remodeling on computer paper from a Word document.

[A]

So weird. So weird. It was great.

[B]

It was pretty great. Yeah. So eventually, crazily enough, they do fall out of sync. Only realizing they're two different people when they try to touch the non existent mirror that's being remodeled and they graze each other's hands. And ladies and gentlemen, that crazy thing I think we've ever seen on a decline. Yeah, I.

[A]

There. Are you sure?

[B]

Yeah. It's nuts.

[A]

The mountains in Colombia. It's all there somehow, and it's inexplicable in certain ways. But then you hear the music and you feel it. I think language and family and culture and ways of seeing life and the passion that Colombia has and everything it does and the things we've been through together as a country, they really inspire you to create and give your best.

The girls realize the predicament, both angry to hear that they're on dates for different reasons. Janine leaves to deal with Jason and immediately attacks the male model, calling the date his publicity stunt and turning on a dime. In his mind, he swears it's not, but she doesn't believe him. Now a rich brat, she insults Alex food order and yells at a waitress. Nice. Meanwhile, Alex finds Eric in the back of the place and she delivers her own attitude. She wants to know why. Now he's totally cool going out with her. He admits she seemed more confident and interesting. Fair. But eventually. But everything is interrupted when she realizes she's eating what Janine ordered. Cow's brains. You know, like most teenagers order in a restaurant on dates. What 16 year old orders cow's brains? Brains? Especially one who loves cooking like her. I mean I get awful's kind of a thing, but why? No, no that just nobody or make it. You know what you do? You make it either caviar or escargot. It's like snails or something. Yeah, she's no 16 year old ever is going to order cow's brains. It's just not gonna work. Yeah, this we need to rewrite. I'll rewrite it. It's gonna be fine. We got some stuff we gotta do. She gags her way to the bathroom, of course, where Alex has also returned to the mirrorless set they Switch back identities, trading dates and confusing the men they're with once again. But the most important detail. Alex's brother gets the entire trade off. On camera, they are busted back at their tables. Janine and Eric decide to ditch the restaurant and have a fun Go Kart montage. Ugh. If there's anything better than a montage, it's a Go Kart montage. I throw you back to the original Karate Kid. Oh, God, it's the best. It made me just want to go everywhere that they went. While Al explains everything. Not a joke on being bipolar. Not even kidding. Let not. I'm just gonna let that one go. Later that night, Alex and Jason do actually check out the meteor shower. So it wasn't a euphemism for anything else. It wasn't a smooth move for him to get some. He admits he likes that she acts like a normal teenager. He envies it. And in a very soft voice, he said he would never run away from her. And then they kiss. So maybe, maybe it's a great kiss. Maybe it was euphemism for somebody. She's checking out his meteor shower. Maybe it worked. Smooth, Justin Timberlake. Not enough O's and smooth. Back in the Trans Am with Eric, Janine admits she had one of the most fun nights of her life. She's just so excited. She found someone who accepts her for who she is. He calls her my girl, and she likes the sound of that. So much so that they also kiss. No meteor shower intended. So she. She's making out with every guy in this movie because she's playing multiple characters. I think we talked about this popping world. I think she was like Justin Timberlake's first on on screen kiss or something like that.

[A]

But, oh, yeah. Oh, wow. That's a pretty good trophy to have, right?

[B]

That's a mirror ball. I'll say. Let me tell you right there. Once Janine is back in the house, her dad, quote, unquote, is waiting for her. She missed a catering event that Alex promised to help at. He is not happy, and he grounds her. And Alex's brother is ready to expose his sister and the COVID girl. But that's not it. Back at Janine's place, Alex returns to see Deirdre has come home a week early. Oh, Kathie Lee Gifford. The next morning, Alex is awoken at 5am by Deirdre. Somebody named Jake is on his way. And Jake ends up being a cameo. It's Jake Steinfeld, a famous fitness entrepreneur of the 80s and 90s who sold Body by Jake VHS tapes, promising a routine to get people into shape. He was the original. And then it became Billy Blank. It was like all these kind of. I think Richard Simmons was the first. But then Jake Steinfeld. I mean, yeah, also small note here, he is the uncle of Hailee Steinfeld. So the idea here is that Janine is so rich, she has the most famous trainer in the world giving her house calls. Alex can't believe it. Jean is back in class talking to Sharon about her punishment. She's not bothered by it. She uses her cell phone to call Eric, who picks up just a few desks away. Ignoring the grounding, she sets a date for that night, disrupting the entire class again, being a total smartass to the teacher. And finally, this time, she is in trouble and sent to detention in the form of cleaning up the girls locker room as a towel monitor. All right, at least some repercussions.

[A]

But what? I would rather have gotten suspended than having to do this. She had no gloves. She had no gloves. This was so unsanitary. Oh, my gosh. I would have died. This would have been. I would have.

[B]

Can't you argue that everybody's cleaning, but everybody's clean coming out of the shower? So the towels are clean.

[A]

No, you're still like exfoliating and wiping off and just like you're putting them in all the places. Like. No, I am not picking up anyone's towels without gloves. A hair net, a whole body suit. I am not doing any of that. This is ridiculous. That is. That was a horrible type of punishment.

[B]

Okay, I have a weird question I'm going to ask you. I ask you to take this question as I'm going to ask it and not the way it's going to sound, but I think it was different. Did you shower in high school during the day? Did you shower during school at school?

[A]

No.

[B]

Okay. We didn't either. So in all these high school movies and high school tropes, all these people are showering. We never showered during high school.

[A]

The only kids that showered that I ever knew of in high school were like, diving water pole. The ones that were in the pool because they would have early morning practices.

[B]

Okay. And we didn't have a pool in our. In our house.

[A]

High school. We didn't have anything p. Those were the only ones that ever. That I know of ever. That ever showered. I don't even think the football players would go in the shower after practice.

[B]

Nobody sh.

[A]

You go in their car and go home.

[B]

Exactly. Then you showered. Nobody. So that's such A trope where everybody in high school is showering and nobody showered in our high school.

[A]

No.

[B]

I'm glad to know it wasn't just me. Okay, good.

[A]

Right? Yeah. No, I never did that. Nor did I. I mean, you go.

[B]

Home, practice after school, you go home, and then you shower after that.

[A]

I stayed at dorms during the summer when I was teaching, like, summer camps for dance. And, like, that was the most. It was. And I kept my amount of camps to a minimum because I could not. The shower thing in the dorms with the sandals and, like.

[B]

Are you. Are you a bit of a germaphobe? It seems like maybe you're a bit.

[A]

I'm not a. I don't think that I am, but when it comes to stuff like that, it is just a no for me.

[B]

That's a no for me, Doug. That's a no for me, Doug.

[A]

No. Not doing it.

[B]

And now we are on what feels like the other side of the world. Alex is at a Runway show with her mom, about to walk on the catwalk. Walk in a one of a kind dress, a $10,000 centerpiece for the night. We get another niche cameo here in the form of Swedish model Vendela Thomason. In real life, she graced the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover and pages of Vogue and Cosmopolitan, but also appeared in the Batman and Robin movie, the Parent Trap, and Muppets Tonight. In this movie, though, she's apparently friends with Janine. And Alex is very starstruck by her, causing Dieter to be very confused. Something feels off to her, and so she blames a possible binge of peanut butter cups. Yes. Let's get back to the eating problems. Sent off to the catwalk, Alex is blinded by the cameras and awkwardly rips the dress, bumps into another model, and is instantly fired by the designer. I thought, now I understand this is where things have to go wrong. I thought they were gonna rip off part of the dress and it was gonna make her look even better and she was gonna look totally cool walking on the couch. No, not the thing. She. She fucks it up for everybody. That's true.

[A]

The next day, poorly made dress, too, by the way.

[B]

Yes. Apparently. Yeah. You bump into somebody, the bottom rips off, and that's $10,000.

[A]

Are you kidding me or. Yeah, I thought it was gonna look like you were. You're right. Like a tearaway. Like a. Yeah.

[B]

And all of a sudden, she's in this cool thing and like. Nope.

[A]

And having the time of her life. Like, why aren't you excited? This is so cool.

[B]

But apparently not. The next day, Jeanine returns home to find her mom and an admissions officer from the Fashion Institute chatting. The lady wants to see the prospective student's portfolio, so Jeanine runs upstairs, but only finds a stack of messy, unfinished collages. It was a big failure. And she's basically rejected right on the spot. And now fired from Jeanine's big Runway show. Monique alerts Alex that her brother Josh, now going by the name Josh the informant, has arrived. He wants to talk blackmail. He's ready to go to the media unless he's paid $50,000. Or if she calls Jason Sharp to take her to the Fall Ball. What? Why? Why would he do that? Am I missing something? What's going on? Does he just want to meet Jason Sharp? This didn't make any sense. Is he just. So she'd be embarrassed? Like, I didn't get this right. 50 grand, I guess. Yet. But. But the rationale of, like, Wait, what?

[A]

And the. And the idea of he loves to see his older sister get in trouble.

[B]

Okay, that makes sense that that's on brand for Disney and little brothers. Totally understand that.

[A]

But this aspect that deals with Jason Sharp just is, like, so weird.

[B]

Yeah, agreed. Very bizarre. Yep. I didn't understand that either. But anyway, she's quick to pick up the phone to call Jason and set up a rendezvous for that night, which I guess is much easier than paying 50,000. And when Alex and Jason do meet up, he asks her to come to Paris with him for a modeling gig. They're both 16. Time to fly off to Paris. But she interrupts him with the truth. She is not who she thinks she is. She puts her hair up and reveals her glasses. She's a nerd, people. It was just. I love how that was her answer. She puts up her hair, puts on the glasses, and looks at him like, look. Look at me now. And I. I love. I wanted him to go like, what. What are you doing? Like, now you just look like you're super hot with your hair up and glasses.

[A]

Yeah. Are you, like, you giving me dirty teacher vibes?

[B]

Like, what's going on? What's. Because I'm into it, bro. What's happening? But it's fine. Yes, I will stay after class, Mrs. Naughty. Like, what. What the hell is happening? Yeah, but she's a nerd. He, of course, being a human, doesn't see the difference, which is hilarious, because he's the only person to not be completely bamboozled. She hands him the Blackmail VHS tape and says it'll explain Everything. They share one last kiss, which now kind of feels like assault because she's not who she says. And mid smooch, Eric arrives. Ooh. And now, because she's wearing glasses and her hair is up, Alex is cheating on him. It's hard to keep up. I know. Jason is also mad. And amongst all the drama, he storms off too. What? What's up?

[A]

Oh, my K. Okay, first of all. First of all, why did she set up this meeting only to just give him the tape? Like, I'm not who you think I am. Here's the tape to explain it. Are you kidding me? Like, no, listen, this is what happened.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

My brother has this tape. He wants to. He want, like, tell him what the brother's, like, thinking.

[B]

Tell him what happened.

[A]

Explain it. Explain it. Also, where the hell does Eric come from? Why are you out walking in this nighttime school stroll? High school on at 9:30 at night. Eric, what are you doing? You shouldn't be here. Why are you just walking around? Yes, you need to give somebody a little bit of heads up that you're coming behind me because I might have turned around and swung at you.

[B]

Yeah, seriously. Or pepper sprayed you or something. And it's also like, here. I want to explain everything that happened. You need a vcr.

[A]

Do you have one in the limo? I was assuming you had one in.

[B]

Your TV and a VCR to figure out. Exactly, because I don't want to explain.

[A]

It to you because I can't use my words and do this. This scene was very like, what's happening right now?

[B]

Very muddled.

[A]

Oh, gosh. Okay. All right. I'm gonna get through it because I gotta support the JT always.

[B]

I get you. I get you. And now the girls, they have to face the truth. Alex is not going to the dream school and Eric has left her. Janine lost her biggest modeling job, and Jason hates her. Also, Alex's brother knows the truth, and they're gonna have to plan his demise. There's only one thing left to do. Switch back for good. And we get a sad song. As the exchange takes place the following morning in front of the high school. It's a hilarious scene as they just trade the glasses and the hair rubber band. That's the entirety of the difference. Then hug and walk away from each other, heads hung low. Literally, she just hands her her glasses and a hair clip and they walk away. Did they need to meet up for that? That?

[A]

No. Because we haven't even addressed the fact that if Alex needs sunglasses, why can she see when she's being Janine.

[B]

Oh, that's like. Yeah, that's like ninth on the list. I know. It's. It's. Seriously, it's. I. Yes.

[A]

There's like. Did she have glasses with her so that when she needed to actually see, she did, and she just was walking?

[B]

Probably.

[A]

Maybe contact my contacts out because they're too dry.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Shouldn't be driving. Shouldn't be doing anything like. Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Anyway, later that day, Janine is back to bossing Monique around while getting a manicure, and Alex is back to her family breakfast. She finds out she's been grounded and has a catering job. That Saturday night, she's back off to school, and Janine has returned to modeling for that photographer with the crazy eyepatch. But he's disappointed in what he sees. He wants that shy and vulnerable, demure kind of Janine that he saw last week. But we all know that was just Alex. Who? O. Somebody please replace my mirror. Deirdre arrives to announce that she's convinced that designer to take her back on a trial basis. But nothing feels the same anymore. Her mom blames it on exhaustion and probably peanut butter cups, but the truth is, she misses Eric. And back at high school, the Fall Ball, an event that's barely been talked about, you know, but now is the key to this film and is only a couple days away. Things just aren't looking good, though. Everyone hates Alex, but she. She has an idea. Back at Janine's plush apartment, though, she's put on a sexy dress and told her mom she isn't going to a modeling mixer. She's finally standing up for herself. She's decided to go to a high school Fall Ball to tell the great guy she fell for the truth. Deirdre. Maybe she'll just give him another tape. Deirdre doesn't know what to say as her daughter walks right out the front door. Back at Alex's, she decides to go and fight for Jason. She convinces her little brother to keep the secret between them, but calls Jason and finds out he's gone to Paris for the week after all. Yeah, of course. He's the most famous teen supermodel male super. It's not a thing. At the Fall Ball, Janine arrives in a taxi and makes sure her glasses are on before she enters. You know, because she's a nerd like Alex. And inside, lo and behold, girl group Nobody's angel is performing. They are actually just dancing without microphones, which is kind of a weird way to perform at a high school dance. But, hey, that's what it is. Janine makes a beeline for Eric, but is checked by his date, the most vocal of the mean girls. Oh, no. And that's when the real Alex arrives. Just as her mom realizes it's three pillows in her bed back at home. But at the dance, nobody's angel finally finishes a very long song. And it's time to announce the king and queen of the Fall Ball. The winners are Eric and his mean girl date, Mindy. Both Janine and Alex feel defeated at the ball, even though I don't think any of them thought they were gonna win. Wanted to win, whatever. Didn't even know there were kings and queens. It was literally never, ever mentioned. And that's when both their families and Jason arrive. He's not in Paris after all. And watch the tape. And somehow knows the Fall Ball will be where he should find her. Somehow he knew that never explained.

[A]

That is a mystery.

[B]

NSYNC knows to go there. Okay. And then the two girls bump into each other. The student body sees it all and is terrified. Are they seeing double? And now we have all their families. Jason, Eric, the lookalike girls, and even Janine's modeling little brother all in one spot. Janine grabs the microphone that nobody's angel couldn't even have themselves. And she reveals everything. They've switched identities. They apologize to their families and admit they finally learned how to be happy as themselves. Everyone is touched by the admission. And Deirdre finally gives up being a strict momager. Janine's little brother even quits modeling. He's going to be an agent. And luckily not an actor, because Kathie Lee's son. Son is terrible in this movie. He's a little kid, but he's not particularly good.

[A]

No, he wasn't. Cute kid.

[B]

Oh, he was a great model, but yeah. And there's one last thing to do. Alex apologizes to Jason. She knows he's leaving for Paris and has bigger and better things to do than hang around with her. But he asks her for one thing. A dance. The student body erupts in applause. And Eric also ditches his mean girl for Alex. After which they should have cut. But it makes him look like such a dingus when he's like, wait a minute. I was dating Janine Adams. I got to date Janine Adams. Just shut up, dude. Oh, that's like. After that. Why would she ever want to be with him? Because now she knows he's, like, into her as a supermodel.

[A]

He should have looked at her and been, like, so you didn't cheat on.

[B]

Me or why did you lie to me or something? Yes.

[A]

Okay. Got it. Okay.

[B]

I was out with Janine, Adam. Yeah. Yikes.

[A]

Even the dad. We had a supermodel in our house.

[B]

Yeah. What did he mean by that creepy guy?

[A]

Cool.

[B]

What did that mean?

[A]

Very cool. Now no one's gonna come over to our house. You creep.

[B]

Yeah. Very, very strange. Our two painfully mismatched couple stakes to the dance floor. Joined by Deirdre and her own son, a high schooler creepily dances with Alex's little brother, which is weird.

[A]

So weird.

[B]

And Monique hangs on to Tony the limo driver, which was cute. They all bust a move to another nobody's angel song, this time with microphones. Alex and Janine take a yearbook photo together, giving us two Maggie Lawson's arm in arm. And that's our movie where literally nothing was resolved. She never apologizes to Sharon, her friend. They never resolve anything with any of the guys. It's weird. It's like nothing is kind of. It's. It just ends. And then because of the way it's ripped, it literally just ends. Like it just stops the movie and you're like, oh, oh. Apparently that's the end.

[A]

Yeah. Like the credits aren't even like normal credits.

[B]

It's just like, yes. And again, this wasn't. We sound like we're shredding it. It wasn't a bad movie. There's just a ton of holes in it where it was like, wait, why? What? There's resolve this, resolve that.

[A]

No matter what, no matter how much you pick it apart as you're watching it, you can absolutely 100% how the demo of that time. Atara.

[B]

God, totally. See how they would love it.

[A]

All of them were obsessed. It had so many of the must needed qualities to be that of the like totally different IT era of the 2000s.

[B]

I totally get it. But of course we can't. We don't watch it like that all the time. We watch it like it's a movie. And as a movie, it's got some giant gaping moon size holes in it that. Yeah, it just needed a. Needed a little polish.

[A]

Let'S see what other people thought about it and let's do some real reviews. I've got the five star this week. I'm very happy. This is five stars from Shun Li, who said this movie was great and Jesse Nilsen did an awesome job and we was extremely cute. Who's Jesse Nielsen?

[A]

I don't know. What?

[B]

I'm guessing that was maybe Eric. Okay, I left it because I didn't know who it was. I mean, that's almost part of it for me is just like this didn't even explain. Yeah, I think that might be Eric, but we'll have to see. And was extremely cute. People. Lay off Cody Gifford. He's like, super young. Yes, I know. As Max. He did a terrible job. But hey, at least the kid tried. Kathy Lee was barely tolerable. But how can you pay attention to the acting when there were such cute guys in the movie? I was totally concentrating on the guys, not the acting. Five stars.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

At its best.

[B]

Love.

[A]

Perfect.

[B]

Sabrina, you got the one star this week. What do you got?

[A]

[B]

Short and to the point.

[A]

We're not trying to be twins, but Alrighty.

[B]

Exactly. They weren't trying to be twins. You didn't get the movie. Thank you, Unamid. All right, we are, of course, coming to our favorite portion of the program. I should say Sabrina's favorite portion of the program. That is when producer Jensen tries to make us look stupid. And this week, our feature game is called Boy Band Bingo. To celebrate Justin Timberlake's first movie being a dcom, we are taking it back to Y2K.TRL. Say that five times fast. We will be given a boy band and four possible song titles. We have to guess which one is fake from the choices. If you get this wrong, Sabrina, because I know none of them. Three out of five wins. Here we go. We're starting with.

[A]

But you know who's gonna win hands down? Lisa.

[B]

Oh, they've already won. Our producers have already won this.

[A]

They already did.

[B]

I'm thinking Michaela's already won. Producer Tara's already won. Producer Jensen's already won. Here we go.

[A]

I know.

[B]

First is Backstreet Boys. Now here are song titles. Which one's real? Lay down Besides me if you stay. Love me now or let's have a party. I'm gonna say Love me now.

[A]

I'm gonna go with my sweetie.

[B]

[A]

I'm gonna go with hold me close.

[B]

I'm gonna say it's because of you. What is happening? It's hold me close. Oh, she's three. Four. She was in a band. She was in a girl band.

[A]

Oh, no. I. And I. Honestly, NSync's the only one. But I don't even know those three songs. I guess I'm not that big of.

[B]

A fan of any of these songs yet. And I know NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Nice guys. I don't know any of these songs. Number four. O Town, is it we fit together. American game. I showed her or Single Most Lady.

[A]

I showed.

[B]

Is that what you're picking?

[A]

I'm gonna go with that because if that is an actual song, I. I normally.

[B]

I'm gonna play against type, and I'm gonna pick what Sabrina did because she's killing it. So I'll go with. I showed her with Sabrina Dog. Single most lady.

[A]

Ah, that was. Yeah. Single most lady.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

All right.

[B]

You still get. You still won, right? You still got three. She got three. All right, then. The Jonas Brothers. Is it Infatuation? Keep it real. Slide the remix. Or Australia?

[A]

Wait, is Slide the remix like the Cha Cha Slide remix? Is that what you're trying to say?

[B]

All I know is title is slide Parentheses the remix. Remix.

[A]

Okay. I'm gonna go with Keep it Real.

[B]

I'm gonna say it's Infatuation because he hasn't done the first one yet. Slide the remix.

[A]

Ah.

[B]

Go.

[A]

Well, I love. That was too obvious.

[B]

Yikes.

[A]

I did. I won.

[B]

You did. You got three out of five. Congratulations. That's a good one.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Can we do some Sabrina Seas?

[A]

We can. We did quite a bit of them while we were going. So many good things. I'm going to start it off with a question. So I know we got called out for what the car actually was. What was it again? A Mazda? No, no.

[B]

Producer Jensen had a Firebird. It was actually a Trans Am.

[A]

A Trans Am. What'd you think of the car?

[B]

I loved it.

[A]

Did you.

[B]

Oh, my God. It's one of my favorite cars.

[A]

I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. But then when she looked at it, like, ugh. I was like, it wasn't. I didn't understand it. Was it because it wasn't a cool car or. I mean, we didn't want a limo.

[B]

The dude's rocking an OG Trans Am. I. That's. That's an amazing car.

[A]

Okay. All right. Okay. And then the next one was we. We tight. Briefly touched on it as far as her brother being in the restaurant with the camera, but how did he get there? And now this is another kind of question for you because I. There was no way for me when I was younger, for me to get into, like, la, Right? The city out of, like, the suburbs. But I know in New York, like, that's a different situation when you're at. When you live on the suburbs. Closer. Is that a way. Like, he could actually have gone there by himself?

[B]

I mean, yes. He could have taken public transport, I guess.

[A]

Okay. All right. Well, they should really work on that. There should be rules about how old you got to be to travel alone on that stuff. That's crazy. Okay. But anyway, I. That was kind of like, how is he even there? Like, how did. They didn't show. I mean, I guess it's not 100% needed, but a little extreme that he'd be there by himself.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You know, and then the. The. When Eric comes and sees who he thinks is Alex kissing, he can no longer be nothing called besides Justin Timberlake.

[B]

Right. Of course.

[A]

Obviously, when he. When she. He sees who he thinks Alex is kissing Justin Timberlake, he says. I had the best giggle. And I had to pause because I. It was one of those. Unc. Uncontrollable. I could.

[B]

I couldn't stop.

[A]

He says, who's he? And I. In my head, I'm like, it's just.

[B]

Isn't he supposed to be also the, like, the most famous supermodel that's ever teen supermodeled?

[A]

Yes. But in my end, I literally went, who is he? What do you. What do you live under a rock?

[B]

Come on. Insane.

[A]

I just was cracking up in myself because he is just one of the most, most like, famous faces of our time. He really is like, you can't go watch him and not know who he is. It's hard for him to even be called a character's name. Okay, next we go to. After they did the huge switch of the ponytail holder and the glasses and we go into that montage. Now, that montage song, do you remember what it was?

[B]

I don't. It must have Nobody's Angel Song song.

[A]

I don't know if it's a Nobody's angel song. I hope it's just a random one because I could not get over the only lyrics in that entire song and they played it for a while was.

[B]

That's all they say.

[A]

There's no words.

[B]

I don't even remember that.

[A]

Like, go back and watch it because it's the craziest song. Like, it never goes into a chorus. There's no bridge. There's no nothing. And I get it. There's no. They're not trying to have a song that's explaining, you know, like what we see in decoms now that's fine. But it's like they did it to a sample track of some sort that they found that they knew the melody, but they never put words to it. It was.

[B]

They just da da da the whole time.

[A]

They just da da da the whole time. It might have been ba ba ba.

[B]

It might have been ba ba ba ba. No, no.

[A]

It was da da da. It was da da da. Oh, God. All right. And then reversing back to a little bit because we did talk about this but didn't talk about what I was thinking about during the scene. And it's when Alex, Janine. And she's at that photo shoot and it's a bathing suit photo shoot. Bikini with a bathing suit. That does not look like a bathing suit. This is a full blown lingerie. Nude colored. Like, she looked naked for sure. I was like, she's supposed to be 16. Yes. She's so young. This was like, oh, my God, I can't believe this happened on Disney.

[B]

Yeah, that's it.

[A]

Guys. Guys. That's what I got Controversy. Calling out the guy who doesn't know Justin Timberlake. A da da da song.

[B]

I love it. Speaking of controversy, I owe producer Jensen an apology.

[A]

Oh, I do.

[B]

Because a Pontiac Trans Am is a high performance version of a Pontiac Firebird over here. Both right. We're both right. Technically, yes, that was. It is a Trans Am, but it's also a Firebird.

[A]

So I was holding that tight too, in case I lost. Lost the game to be like, well, but you actually put the wrong car down.

[B]

So I get an extra. I do think I. I saw the logo on the side of the car, and I think it was a Firebird logo. So, yeah, the Trans Am is the. The high performance version of that. And they came in gold and black. They had those sick wheels, and it had the big Firebird Trans Am thing on the front. But yes, technically, Firebird is correct. So there you go. Well, yes, it is now time to rate our film. And I think, Sabrina, you go first this time because I think I rated first last time. What do you got?

[A]

Let's pick our options.

[B]

What are we going to do? Well, one to ten.

[A]

Okay, just this time, though.

[B]

Ten the best.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. Do we want to do one out of one being the worst, ten being the best of Nobody's Angels? Generational body issues.

[A]

Nah, just kidding.

[B]

One out of ten. Sabrina and the Nobody Buddies. One out of ten. Generational body issues. Restored Firebirds, which turned out to be correct. High school electric guitar players. One out of ten Photographers with an eye patch. Greek church restaurants. One out of ten Mirrorless bathrooms. Smooth Justin Timberlakes or one out of ten Hailee Steinfeld uncles. Which one would you like to do?

[A]

It's your turn to pick. This one.

[B]

It is. Then I would like to do smooth Justin Timberlake's. I think we have to. So you go first. What do you got?

[A]

All right, I'll go first. So again, I remember watching this, like, one time during the time. Liking it, watching it back. I'm within the crowd that this nostalgia kind of stuff with these movies. We just recently watched another one with Katherine Heigl. That this was the kind of movie that I craved. It was the perfect rom com, the perfect, like, sibling or, you know, kind of rivalry, you know, high school drama always ends in some type of prom. Always there for that, you know, I loved so many aspects. Yes, there were holes, but not. They weren't big enough for me to completely just push this to the side. I did like it. It was a fun and easy watch for me, and I recommend it. JT didn't hit it on the mark 100%, but he was not bad. We've seen, you know, he's finding his way.

[B]

He's finding his way.

[A]

He's finding his way. And he's adorable in it. She just shines. I just, it made me. The whole time I was going, oh, yeah, she was in that one movie. Oh yeah, she was in this. She's so good. Maggie's just like unreal. So I'm, I'm gonna give this a solid eight.

[B]

Eight. Wow.

[A]

Justin Timberlake.

[B]

Wow. Okay, you. You are rating it higher than I am. Again. I really, I liked this movie.

[A]

Movie.

[B]

It was fine. Maggie Lawson is. Was great. She was, she was great.

[A]

Phenomenal.

[B]

This. The script needed some work. Again, there were gaping, gaping holes in this. She never apologizes or makes up with her best friend. She.

[A]

They have the end kind of just tumbles and flatlines. It really.

[B]

The movie just ended. They don't explain anything to each other about who they are. I mean, pretty massive kind of of holes there. Some of the acting is not good in this movie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think honestly the audience score and the rotten tomato score is right on the dot with 65% or a 6.5 smooth Justin Timberlakes, I could go a soft seven. But I think 6.5 is, is, is about where this, this ends. This movie without Maggie Lawson would have been a four because the, the storyline, again, it's there. There is no such thing as a teen male supermodel and something they could.

[A]

Have bumped it up with is like, not have nobody's angel, but like in sync at the end. That seems like a duh.

[B]

Yeah. Make him a boy band or make.

[A]

Him an actor all over the channel at the time.

[B]

Yeah. So it was. Again, this was not a bad movie. It is. You're right. It is an Easy watch. It's 85 minutes. It's by no means a bad movie, but if you're watching it as a movie, which is what I'm doing story wise, this, this movie needed some work. Again, Maggie Lawson, great.

[A]

I get stuck in the nostalgia of.

[B]

I know which time.

[A]

I can't help it.

[B]

I have no nostalgia for it.

[A]

So many of our fans that, like, I know, can't look past anything but what the time of where they were when these movies came out. Just. I'm stuck there with these kinds at all.

[B]

Yep. I don't have that at all. So I'm just. As a movie, it needed a quick rewrite. But again, again, it is, it is worth a watch. It definitely is. Our next movie is a very true classic. Yes, it is the first dcom ever, technically. That's right. We're prepping for spooky season with 1997's Under Wraps. The original that started it all at least started this version of the dcoms. We know about Zug Disney and all the other wonderful world of Disney's and magical world of Disney's and everything. But the actual dcom that we know and love started with this one in 1997. That's right, under wraps. And you can bet your last dollar that it is on Disney, ready to stream. So check it out and get prepped for a new recap. But O people.

[A]

Oh, we have people. We say it all the time. But we got something special.

[B]

We did it. And by we, I mean our producers.

[A]

Our producers.

[B]

Before we enter that tomb, we are sitting down with two Disney Legends together. Yes, it's Allie and A.J. they are coming on the show. The impressive pop rock dude that got their start starring in cowbells, recording songs for Ice Princess, and opening for the Cheetah Girls. We are honored that they took the time to chat with us. So here's a little sneak peek of what you're in for.

[A]

We had a really close friend that was working on Phil of the Future, who, I mean, he's been now a friend ever since.

[B]

We adore him.

[A]

Who developed the movie for us and.

[B]

Basically wrote the outline.

[A]

And then Stu Krieger ended up taking over the script. But it was always Ally and I. Like, we didn't audition. It was kind of a setup story. Like, hey, it's gonna be two girls that work on a dairy farm, you know, who are struggling with the ins and outs of taking over this business, trying to save it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And the struggle of, you know, being brats.

[B]

That was fun. And it is a big one, everyone. Don't miss it. All you gotta do is search Magical Rewind wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe to our dedicated audio feed. And for more of the informazione, you can follow us at magicalrewindpod on the Instagram machine. Bye, everybody.

[A]

Bye, my fur babies. Even when I get home late or I'm too tired to play Espur Amor. And that's the kind of love I want to give right back. Back. That's why I trust Hill's pet nutrition.
