Your kids haven't lost any teeth yet, right? Because they're too young at this point.
Sabrina Bryan
No, but we have been to the dentist, and Monroe loves the dentist.
Unknown
Really?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes. She loves it. She loves it. We've gone a few times now. She gets excited. They get her. They give a little treat. It's so much better than when we were kids. She's got a. A flat screen above her. She's watching her favorite, like, Disney movies. Whatever. She. She is chilling and loves it. She has not luckily had any cavities or anything like that.
Unknown
So that's good.
Sabrina Bryan
That could change eventually. But, yeah, she loves it. And I have always hated the dentist.
Unknown
My. My kid dentist growing up was awesome. His name was Dr. Roth in Connecticut. He always had his shirt wide open with just this man via hair. Oh, wow. And then had the, like, the gold chains hanging down. He was tan in the middle of winter. He was like, hey, I'm Dr. Roth. He was that guy. Oh, it was so funny. But, yeah, your. Your child loving the dentist, but I guess if you got TV and treats. Yeah, way different.
Sabrina Bryan
She gets a balloon. She gets to pick two treats at the end, like, she's living life. And yeah, you know, like I said, we have only had cleanings and all good checkups so far, which is great since she's 4, but, yeah, it could change. But so far, I'm glad.
Unknown
So far, so good. That's great.
Sabrina Bryan
Well, I don't know what I'll do when she has anxiety about it because mom's right there with her, anxious as hell. I hate the.
Unknown
If I get. If they give me gas, I don't care. Do whatever you want me. Keep me in this chair all day.
Sabrina Bryan
As long as I got the gas on my face.
Unknown
I know you got to hunt.
Sabrina Bryan
Got a one.
Unknown
I'll just bring my own gas. I just do whippets in the parking lot. It's fine.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, my God.
Unknown
But, yeah, no, it's. It is. It is rough, you know? You know what else was rough?
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
Well, we'll get into it anyway. Well, 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 the high school's musical. I'm Will Friedell.
Sabrina Bryan
And I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Unknown
Well, let's start at the molars, travel down to the canines, and end up at the bicuspids. Because we're recapping 1997's Wonderful World of Disney entry, Toothless. No doubt the only Disney Channel movie to revolve around the profession of dentistry. Toothless first aired October 7, 1997 on ABC. And like many of the movies that aired on network TV at the time, it was composed of some very familiar faces in the cast. We already talked about whether you were afraid of the dentist.
Sabrina Bryan
Terrified. Terrified.
Unknown
Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
And it's embarrassing as an adult how much anxiety I have about it.
Unknown
No, that's okay. Some people, it's doctors and dentists. That's their thing. It's like me and flying. I fly all the time, and I hate it every single time.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. No.
Unknown
So, yeah. Oh, well. And as Sabrina vaguely remembered. Last recap. Toothless does involve a hall of fame TV star as the Tooth Fairy. But what did she remember? It's a rare entry into the Disney lexicon that deals with death. Yes. Death.
Sabrina Bryan
Right from the start.
Unknown
Right from that start. Right in that Susie Q wheelhouse we all know and love. Wonderful World of Disney Presents. Dead.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
Isn't that wonderful?
Sabrina Bryan
It's deep. It gets deep real fast.
Unknown
I don't know if deep's the right word I would use.
Sabrina Bryan
Dad is. Her mom's not dealing with it well already from the beginning. And she is a weird little girl. Like, she's just.
Unknown
There's death all over this movie.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
This is. I mean, it's. It's really strange. By the way, when your kids do lose their teeth, what's inflation now? What's a kid gonna get for their tooth?
Sabrina Bryan
You know, I've been asking around. I do think we are still, like, a good two years away from doing this, but my. My sister gives her kids 25.
Unknown
Why? Wait, what?
Sabrina Bryan
I.
Unknown
That's insane.
Sabrina Bryan
Like, is that $25 going towards their braces like that in a bank account?
Unknown
I would just. If I was her kid, I would just sit in the garage with a hammer and knock all my teeth out. Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
I cannot understand it. I. I mean, $25. You know what? And this is not my sister's case. I've asked my friend Stephanie because her daughter is right in the midst of, like. I mean, she seems like she's just popping teeth out constantly. And she goes, you know, it's crazy because Will remember at the end of the night, and my husband and I are just going, like, what do you got? What do you got? Because she's like, we never get cash. So she says, $20 before. Because I think I got. I want to say, like, a dollar was maybe. Maybe $2.
Unknown
Me, too.
Sabrina Bryan
Can't even imagine a friend getting $3 growing up.
Unknown
Or a fiver. I would. That never would have happened. I think I got a bucket.
Sabrina Bryan
But I do. I do think that nowadays it depends on what you got in your. No one has cash anymore.
Unknown
I was gonna say.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, I tried to check.
Unknown
You get either a. Yeah, you get like a. A gift card. It's like I got a nine dollar Nordstrom gift card for my tooth. That's really weird. It's like mom has whatever's left in her purse. Like, there you go.
Sabrina Bryan
Totally.
Unknown
Now, here's the funny thing. We don't normally get into cinematographers on these Disney Channel movies as it's usually not very interesting. But during our research, we did realize that the cinematographer for Toothless was Sandy Sissel, who has some very impressive credits. But the one she's most commonly praised for is one of my favorite movies of all time. The epic adventure film from Peter Weir. Master and Commander with Russell Crowe, which is just such a good movie. It is amazing. And I don't think I could possibly come up with a film that is less similar to Master and Commander than Toothless. But will I have to jump in here? This is the weirdest shot film we have.
Sabrina Bryan
I was just about to say that's part of my. I mean, I got a little seasick at some point.
Unknown
You're up. Like, what's up with the low angles on everybody?
Sabrina Bryan
Everyone just.
Unknown
They're holding. Holding the cam, right?
Sabrina Bryan
She's holding.
Unknown
It has to be. I don't think there was a locked off shot in the entire movie. I'm just not sure what that does for us. I don't. It's not really in plot. No. At all. The only thing I was thinking was this is like 1997 and this is right in the wheelhouse of NYPD blue where moving the camera became a thing.
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
So maybe that. But I thought the same thing. I was like, why are you moving the camera all the time?
Sabrina Bryan
And why.
Unknown
Yeah, why are you up like this? And it wasn't even steady. It was shaky.
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
Shaky cam.
Sabrina Bryan
But I noticed it definitely was when we were in limbo.
Unknown
Yes.
Sabrina Bryan
And so I feel like it kind of. They thought it would add to the like chaos of it. And it's all. You know, but.
Unknown
Or maybe it looked so bad that Hurting my eyes.
Sabrina Bryan
I was. I was getting. Not like motion sickness, but something of that sort. Like vertigo or whatever. I don't know, like something. It was not making me feel good. I didn't like that at all.
Unknown
I actually texted producer Jensen last night. I feel like this movie is happening to me. Maybe that's what you want and maybe.
Sabrina Bryan
That'S what I mean.
Unknown
There's a scene in Limbo Land where they're following Kirstie Alley in kind of the desert. They're following her to a trailer, and they almost bump her. They almost bump her back. Yes. There's one time they literally go down to her butt as they dissolve. It was like, who. What is happening?
Sabrina Bryan
And I know with when it comes to budget, using a steady camera, it's easier because the setup's fast. You can move through, like, scenes faster. So I don't know. I was thinking maybe it was that. But then when I realized it was only happening in limbo, I'm like, no, this is like a chosen choice, a chosen situation that the videographer's doing to. But I could not realize, except for it added chaos. That's the only thing I could think of why they felt the need to do that. But it was not my jam. I'm glad that that's not something that has.
Unknown
Or limbon Limbo. The limbo set was so cheap and weak that they thought if we just shake the camera, maybe we just won't be landing on the bat.
Sabrina Bryan
But I say I did creative. I thought it was.
Unknown
That's. What I mean is I didn't mind it either.
Sabrina Bryan
Their way to heaven and. Well, we'll talk about the flying in a minute. I read that was gonna happen again, but when he just kind of dissolved into that light, that was perfect for me. The hell going down the. The just, like, janky mobile trailers, all of that. Like, I kind of liked it.
Unknown
I don't know.
Sabrina Bryan
Well, creative.
Unknown
Anyway, it's. Yeah, well, we'll get into all that. Yes, I know. We'll get it all. This is also a Wonderful World of Disney release, so that means it is not on Disney Plus. However, you can watch it now for free on YouTubes. I think I'm saying that right on the YouTubes. And one of the uploads, which is the one I watched, even includes the 1997 commercials, which, frankly, I enjoyed more than the movie.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, mine didn't.
Unknown
Yeah. So watch it now before you listen to us, or watch it later, or listen and watch at the same time. But that can't be easy. All right, so now that that's out of the way, Sabrina, outside of the broad strokes you mentioned last week, what else did you know about Toothless before we got into the podcast?
Sabrina Bryan
I remember, and I didn't know his name, but I remembered the kid that it was because he was so big in that time. At the time, he was huge. I remember him. Kirstie Alley. I knew she was the Tooth Fairy, and that's kind of where it started and ended. I didn't. But I do think I most likely saw this while it was on the abc. I do think I saw it.
Unknown
Yeah. I knew nothing, as per usual.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. I wasn't shocked when she came out in that big dress. Like, I was like.
Unknown
I mean, I knew what to expect at this point, but I didn't know anything about it. And, man, halfway through, I was like, I think I'm on acid. I think someone. I did feel someone dosed me. And it's kicking in. Right. Anyway, before you all go out and put a tooth under your pillow expecting a shiny silver coin, let's go over the synopsis. A dentist is cast into limbo after her death and is given the assignment to act as the Tooth Fairy in order to be admitted into heaven. What'd you think of the movie overall, Sabrina?
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, man. At first, I was. I first dug. I dug the music right from the beginning. I loved the old school songs. That just brought me back to. Especially it being, you know, about her, you know, missing her dad, loving her dad. When I hear that genre of music, that's me, my dad in the car.
Unknown
Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
You know, jamming out. So I did love that. And again, there were a lot of iffy moments in the beginning that I just didn't like. As soon as she got to limbo, I was like, oh, no, where is this going? What's happening? And I wasn't until probably halfway into the movie, I went, okay, okay, I can. All right. And I started to sink in, and I ended up liking it a lot better than how I started, for sure.
Unknown
I. I never hit that point.
Sabrina Bryan
No, you didn't. Okay.
Unknown
I basically hated this movie.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, wow.
Unknown
I didn't.
Sabrina Bryan
I did.
Unknown
I did not get anything about it. I didn't think it was well written. I didn't think it was well shot. I didn't think it was well acted. The music. I thought the first song in the beginning is fine. But then there's music going throughout this thing that made no sense. The kids are yelling at each other the whole time during regular scenes that shouldn't be. The bully is half the size that. None of this movie made sense to me.
Sabrina Bryan
None of this movie made sense.
Unknown
I did not get this movie even slightly. I. I don't know how it got made. The choices Kirstie Alley made throughout the movie, her character just kept changing. It's like, are you Jim Carrey now? What's happening now. What were the rules? Some people see, I did not get this movie.
Sabrina Bryan
The end.
Unknown
Oh, no.
Sabrina Bryan
The part that felt a little real, especially nowadays were the parents that, you know, confront principals and, you know, just.
Unknown
I mean, I didn't get.
Sabrina Bryan
The very end was so harsh towards. Towards the kid. You know, it just, it was a very. I don't know, but I did. I. There was a. There was a moment in the middle that I kind of went, okay, I. I'm seeing where it's going. When we saw what her mission was. But that mission wasn't very. Her mission to like to open herself, to actually love someone else after the death of having her. The tragic death when she was younger. That was the mission. It was accepting love. She had been tried to. Her friends were trying to get her to open up and let someone in. And even a moment of her being honest with herself that she wasn't even really letting her best friend in. That was the. That was the mission.
Unknown
So she then loves all the kids and creepily falls in love with the dad.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes, that was the thing she realized with, I think, more of their innocence that she could. She was able to open it up because that was the. They are the age that she lost her dad. So it kind of brought her back to that innocence. And she at that age shut it down because she was so devastated. And then has been closed off and these kids have opened that door. What are you talking about? Will, how did you not read this?
Unknown
Oh, no, I. I got. That's what they were trying do. But first of all, they also. Every dentist for some reason ends up in limbo.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
Or hell.
Because. Because why? Because you're helping people with their teeth, which also prevents heart disease. Apparently. You go to hell for that.
Sabrina Bryan
Right. I do think their dentistry, I have heard, you know, I don't know any stats, but I have heard that that that industry and that career leads to a lot of mental health issues. Yeah.
Unknown
So maybe it's because people know they're going.
Sabrina Bryan
I don't even think they were talking about this at that time in 1997. But that was strange that they were like, oh, you, of course, you. You inflict pain on everyone. So of course you're here and you're going to hell. Regardless.
Unknown
The dad was weird when she finally says I love you to the kid at the end. It just came off as creepy.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. That was like.
Unknown
I didn't get the. Every, every, every choice in this movie from beginning to end was weird to me.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. I saw those moments for some Reason. And maybe as we're talking about it, that scene will come to mind of like, oh, this was when it clicked. But there was something in the middle that made me just start, okay, all right, I see where we're going. That's okay too.
Unknown
I did not get to the first front half.
Sabrina Bryan
I was like, oh, great, I gotta talk about a movie I don't like again.
Unknown
This is the hardest part.
Sabrina Bryan
Those are the hardest episodes for me. I hate not liking them.
Unknown
This was a big miss for me. This was. Yeah. Anyway, Toothless was directed by Melanie Mayron, a rare female behind the camera for these retro films. She began her career directing episodes of the TV show 30 Something, which is a great show, and had already directed the Disney Freaky Friday with Shelley Long and Gabby Hoffman. Mayron is still very busy as a TV director working on a ton of great projects, many female focused, including the Fosters, Pretty Little Liars, GLOW and the movie Mean Girls 2. She also appears in the film as Mindy. And frankly, I thought she was one of the best actors of the movie. And boy, we're talking about who was in the movie. Stellar cast here. I could argue that this is overall one of the best casts name wise, we've ever had. So let's, let's get going. So the movie headlines, obviously, huge star at the time, 1997, Kirstie Alley playing Dr. Catherine Lewis. Alley was one of the top TV stars of the late 80s 90s. Best known as Rebecca Howe on Cheers, a role she received Emmy nominations for and won once. She won, I think was five Emmy nominations for and won one. She had a bit of a Hollywood reputation for being loose cannon, but at the time that might have just been some misogyny. In the, in the 90s, a lot of times you heard that women were quote unquote, difficult to work with, but she was apparently a bit of a wild one. This is the only Disney movie she's ever worked on, but she appeared in films like Summer School. Great movie, don't get me started, Lover Boy, Drop Dead Gorgeous and all three. Look who's talking movies. You may also recognize her. Aren't they great? You may also recognize her from her second big role on tv, starring in Veronica's Closet as Veronica for three years. She was an absolute TV sitcom legend and a big casting for Disney here, especially the 90s. She unfortunately passed away in 2022 from colon cancer at the age of 71. And then Dale Midkiff plays Thomas Jameson. Don't get me started. Midkiff played Elvis in the TV movie Elvis and Me and was in the original Pet Sematary movie. He also appeared on TV shows like Magnificent Seven, Without a Trace, the Client List, but I'd be doing him a disservice if I didn't mention he also starred in the airbud soccer movie titled World Pup. Ross Mallinger. It's either Mallinger or Mallinger. I think it's Mallinger played little Bobby Jameson and he Too was a big 90s star, best known as Jonah Baldwin. He was so good in the romcom classic Sleepless in Seattle playing Tom Hanks's son. He was also in Kindergarten Copy Sudden Death and is one of the voices of Spike in Homeward Bound 2 and TJ on recess. And so we already talked about how we both recognize him right away.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes, absolutely.
Unknown
And the hits don't stop there. Part of the big legacy family for film and tv. Lynn Redgrave. Unbelievable. Plays Rogers. The British actress was seen in some grade A projects like Gods and Monsters, Kinsey, Shine and the movie Georgie Girl, which earned her an Oscar nomination. She is the sister of actress Vanessa Redgrave, which is a name you might recognize. Lynn passed away as well in 2010 from cancer at the age of 67. Both just taken Too Young and Word Still Not Done. Eileen Brennan appears briefly in the movie credited as Joe Won most likely as a favor for the director. She played the principal in Disney's 1995 Freaky Friday from Mehron, of course, what she directed. And Eileen was an Oscar nominee for her role in the 1981 movie Private Benjamin. Great movie. But is probably best known as Mrs. Peacock in the 1985 movie Clue. She also appears in classic movies like Murder by Death, the Sting and the Last Picture Show. And a big deal in film and TV all the way around. She unfortunately too passed away in 2013 at the age of 80. And then we've got Kimberly Scott, who plays Gwen. Scott is legendary as Lisa One Night. Oh, I love it. Standing in the Abyss. She was so good. It was a James Cameron classic movie. Amazing film. She also appears in 1990s Flatliners and is the police detective in the 1993 Michael Douglas movie Falling Down. Great. Add in there Batman Forever, the Client, Guess who. But most importantly, two episodes of Boy Meets World where she and I worked together for two weeks straight and all I did was bugger about shooting the abyss the entire time. And she even signed my laserdisc. Go look up what a laserdisc is, boys and girls. I still have it. And my laserdisc player.
Sabrina Bryan
I love that you bugged her, of course.
Unknown
Oh my God. I think by the end, Tony Quinn and I were like, I am not telling you another Abyss story. Oh, I loved it so much. And then we've got another just huge icon. Daryl Chill Mitchell is Raul. Darryl is an amazing character actor who appeared in movies like 10 Things I Hate about yout Inside Man, Galaxy Quest and House Party 1 and 2 and is a very recognizable TV actor best known as Patton Plame. Is it Plame? Patton Plame on NCIS New Orleans. You may also know him as Eli on Eddie Wendell on Fear of the Walking Dead. Or most importantly for Toothless, he was on Kirstie Alley's show Veronica's closet in 2001. Unfortunately post this movie. Mitchell was paralyzed in a motorcycle crash in South Carolina and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since. He continues to have an amazing acting career though, working all the time and actively raises awareness and money for spinal cord injuries. Starting his own Daryl Mitchell Foundation. And you can catch Mitchell as a star on the brand new Tim Allen sitcom Shifting Gears. He's working all the time and is absolutely phenomenal. And we've got a name set on Pod Meets World just recently. Child actor Marcus Toji plays Trevor. Toji is best known as Marcus in Little Giants, but worked non stop in the 90s in movies like Corinna, Corinna, Jingle all the Way, Max Keeble's big move and TV shows like hey Arnold, 8 Simple Rules, Zoe 101 and yes, two episodes of Boy Meets World. Let's make it All About Me whenever we can. Honestly, there were some actors that we could have mentioned, but it's just such an impressive lineup. Which is another reason why I was like, yeah, the movie is 92 minutes long, so close to the target, but too too many. And that is, in theory, too long.
Will Friedell
Too long.
Sabrina Bryan
That's right.
Unknown
It was written by. It was just too long. If we're, if we're being honest and fair. It was written by Mark S. Kaufman. This was Mark's first writing credit ever and one of only two he would ever have. He would later write the 2002 TV movie Just a Walk in the park, sharing credit with actor William H. Macy, who was not in the movie at all. Strange. And also, Toothless is the last Hollywood job he apparently had.
Will Friedell
Hey everyone. Wilmer Valderrama, if you're like me, you don't just want fast Internet service, you need it. And believe it or not, there are plenty of places in America where people don't have access. That's why this story is so important. AT&T recently completed an AT&T fiber build out to more than 20,000 customer locations in Old Ham County, Kentucky. So the entire community now has access to high speed connectivity. Now you know what high speed Internet can do for everyone. Now imagine when it can connect communities, when it can make the world smaller for you. But how about a farmer? Suddenly it's easier to sell cattle, buy feed, research fixes for broken machinery. I think that's fascinating. It doesn't matter what you do for a living these days, you need to be connected. Now for the big part, this isn't just a Kentucky story. AT&T is on track to cover more than 30 million locations with Fiverr by the end of 2025. And that's good news for all of us.
Sabrina Bryan
Connecting changes everything.

So does toothless have any bite? Well, let's get into it. We open on Sabrina's favorite song and a great song, the recognizable Sugar Sugar by the Archies, immediately proving that ABC has more of a clearance budget for songs than Disney does. We are in the 1960s in a busy suburban neighborhood and we get a narrator. She tells us that she comes from a very long line of successful dentists and that her father died just one year ago. Today we see a little girl, Catherine, presumably the narrator, on a porch grooming a little dog. When her mom rushes out, she has a surprise for Catherine on this rough day. She's going to the dentist and much like Monroe, she could not be more happy.
Sabrina Bryan
Weirdest little kid ever go to the dentist.
Unknown
She is thrilled. In the dentist office, she has a perfect checkup and a clean set of teeth to match. She wants another exam, though she was hoping for a root canal and has been reading her dad's dental books. She wants to follow in his footsteps and even the drill sounds like music to her ears. Oh, I can't that when it gets in your head, your whole head becomes a tuning fork. And sorry to everybody out there, nails on a chalkboard. The dentist does point out one last baby tooth and tells her to remember to put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. 5 Shadowing we transition to Current Day Catherine is now grown up and her dream came true. She is a dentist, and a good one actually. She took over her childhood dentist practice and is helping someone named Tiny who is freaking out. Or we should. We should say somebody like Sabrina, who is freaking out.
Sabrina Bryan
Freaking out.

And then another patient, a very nerdy man, tries to ask her to the opera, but she has given him Novocaine. So he starts to be like, do you want to go to the opera with me? But she interrupts him with dental equipment before he can even ask her out. Later, we're At a sushi bar, Catherine and her friend Mindy, who was the movie's director, talk about Catherine's love life, or we should say, lack thereof. Catherine is fine with being single, but her friend wants her to find someone. How old do you reckon she's supposed to be here?
Sabrina Bryan
Okay. I think they were trying to portray her as, like, mid-20s.
Unknown
You think?
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, like young. I feel like she was trying. It was like mid 25 to 28.
Unknown
Really?
Sabrina Bryan
That's what it seemed like. But she wasn't. No, it seemed like that at the beginning, but then at the end it was. It didn't seem as. As much. It seemed like she was, what, mid-30s at the end? I don't know, but at the beginning, I thought they were really think, like, trying to make it as if she was really young.
Unknown
See, I figured she was probably five or six or maybe a little or seven or eight when she was a kid at the dentist. Okay, that was the 60s. If it's. If the Sugar Sugar by the Archies is playing, and if this is now the 90s, so add 30 years. I figured she was supposed to be, like, late 30s.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay.
Unknown
Yeah, but maybe you're right and they were going for mid-20s, which didn't. Doesn't fit.
Sabrina Bryan
No, no, but. And that wasn't any of the. The age that she. That Christie Alley was doing at that time. Maybe I was just seeing that wrong.
Unknown
No, but you're right. I mean, maybe the oldest was. Was 30. They were trying, but it was also the 90s where it was like, you don't have a man, your life isn't good. Yeah, it was one of those things too, where it was like, that's. That's a little odd. She can just be happy without a man. But apparently it wasn't right.
Sabrina Bryan
It is sort of. I mean, this. I know this is not much of.
Unknown
A big change, but Sugar, sugar is from 1969, which pushes it. Okay, 70.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay.
Unknown
Okay. So even say it's 1970 when she's supposed to be there at 7 years old. So, yeah, 20. Yeah. 30. Just then, an attractive man sits down at the bar. Next to him. Catherine says hi, but he's celebrating his bachelor party. Nope, can't have him. Swing and a miss. Katherine is starting to feel pathetic. She hasn't been on a date in forever. Her friend says she's got to get out there or she'll be alone for the rest of her life. She invites Catherine to a party she's throwing on Saturday night, but Catherine can't make it because she has a baseball game to watch. Back at the dental office, Catherine is talking to her nurse assistant who realizes that Catherine knows nothing about her long term boyfriend. This kind of nonchalance offends the nurse. She's talked about her boyfriend for months. So how is it possible that Catherine has not listened to anything she said? This is when we're really starting to get the idea that Catherine is very self absorbed. But we also find out that a patient is canceled. So Catherine decides to run to the bank. Now, while crossing the street, she sees her friend. Okay, we'll walk through this. She sees her friend Mindy and excitedly they wave to each other. So they're. She turns around. They both turn around. And then we start to get weird. Close up, slow motion, shaky cam of a bike.
Sabrina Bryan
Yep, of a bike.
Unknown
A bicycle.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay, Yes, a bicycle. Not. Not a motorbike bicycle.
Unknown
That's pedaling at her full speed.
Sabrina Bryan
Reckless.
Unknown
And the guys distracted is what they're going for.
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
Then we get shots of a BMW.
Sabrina Bryan
Uh huh.
Unknown
Also shaky.
Sabrina Bryan
The clips are going fast.
Unknown
Right.
Sabrina Bryan
So bike. BMW bike.
Unknown
Yeah, bike, BMW bike. Clips of this. And then Catherine turning and giving this kind of shocked look. And so it, it seems like the bike pushes her into the car, which we don't really see. It's just a. What's happening. And then the close on people's faces all in slow motion. It's very strange. There's really.
Sabrina Bryan
No, you don't at. Get for me. And I rewatched it a couple times.
Unknown
Me too.
Sabrina Bryan
Because once, you know, once we get into the, the next place that we're getting into, it's like I went, wait, okay, I missed it. Did she get hit by the bike or did she get hit by the car? So I went back, didn't get it. Went back again. Still didn't get it. Went for a third time and went. You know what, I'm just gonna have to see if they're gonna.
Unknown
Yeah. If they're gonna figure it out because.
Sabrina Bryan
Which they do pretty much right away, kind of.
Unknown
We just. At least we know that Katherine is dead.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes, she's at. She's gone.
Unknown
Take that, Walt Disney. Yeah, Lead character's dead right away. So we fade back in and Catherine is now standing very tall in a desert of sorts. Very clear skies. But also there's security guards and a dozen Airstream trailers with signs like uniform pickup and job placement training and Judgment. There's also an intimidating cage that reads elevator and a set of mobile airplane stairs nearby with a sign that reads Stairway to Heaven. Catherine is confused and looks for help. This is where they suddenly made the decision out of nowhere to shoot everything from a low angle. So from this moment on, we are looking up at everybody. It's weird.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
And. And everything's shaking. Catherine is confused and looking for help, eventually asking questions to a guard. And this is another just amazing appearance. I figured this was going to be a big introduction of her character, but it wasn't. It was just a cameo by Yeardley Smith, also known as the voice of Lisa Simpson. And then Catherine realizes, oh no, I'm dead. And is given a map to go find her supervisor. And this is where I started to get real vibes of my. One of my favorite and one of Daniel Fishel's favorite movies of all time, defending your life. Like, okay, I kind of get what they're doing, but man, did defending your life do it better. So, yes, after getting lost, she finally finds her drill sergeant who is a high strung British lady with a riding whip. That's Rogers. Catherine is already behind schedule. And they watch a businessman being sent down to hell while a marching band in all red ominously plays him out. This is where I went. What is happening in this movie? The second hit of acid has kicked in. Who dosed me? Because this is crazy pants.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, this is when I was going, no, I don't think I'm gonna like this one because it was again, just already kind of quite a bit of holes. Where are we? What like. And the, the characters were just a little. Especially when we got to limbo, they were just a really over the top. And this is when Kirsty's character became over the top for me. Yeah, it gets.
Unknown
Yeah, it's it.
Sabrina Bryan
Which she wasn't like that while she was in, you know, the. Her regular life now. And, and I just kind of went, oh, gosh, okay, all right, where are we going?
Unknown
And again, part of me is like, if you want to now go crazy elf, cartoony, great. I am all for that, but make that decision and do that. This came in and out and weird. And one scene she was like this and the next scene the kid was like that. It was just like they were shooting a movie. Every scene they were doing it was.
Sabrina Bryan
Really weird, broken up. And I understand they are going through two different worlds, right? We're in limbo, we're in regular. But she has become the tooth fairy. So she out of everyone really need to. Needed to keep it flat, you know.
Unknown
Or the same something, something. Or make her wacky at the beginning. So she becomes the Wacky Tooth Fairy. I don't know. Yeah. So then Rogers explains that Catherine is in limbo land. Not yet heaven or hell, about to have her life judged. Defending your life. They did this movie already. Albert Brooks, go see that. It's amazing. I give it 20,000 stars or whatever you need. So Roger says that Catherine has a glaring blemish on her record. She's a dentist who gave pain and suffering to people. And so dentists apparently just go to hell. It doesn't matter that they're doctors that are actually helping people. You're a dentist. You're going to hell. Which, again, I thought, like, what?
Sabrina Bryan
What? Why?
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. Catherine can't believe this. Neither can we. And while she awaits for her final word, she will have to perform community service and will be judged by her actions. Okay, interesting story.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay.
Unknown
Catherine gets her folder and is offered a very difficult job. Bicuspid retrieval. Catherine thinks she can do it and signs up. Roger says, great. The little children will be so pleased to find out you're coming. And Catherine puts it all together. Oh, no. She's the tooth Fairy. And she doesn't look happy with that. Catherine jumps out of the uniform trailer dressed in a princess's gown and crown. She's like the Tooth Fairy. It's not just going, she's got to dress like the Tooth Fairy. She's the Tooth Fairy. We get a mention of Cinderella and Tinkerbell, two names you don't often hear much outside of Disney productions. And Catherine can't stand the look. Being a tooth fairy is not her idea of a good time. But Rogers doesn't care. Catherine needs to get training where she's even gonna learn to fly now.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, boy.
Unknown
If you watched the version I watched, it started with another one of those Michael Eisner intros, and it was all about the most famous flying characters in the history of Disney. And it started with Mary Poppins flying around and Tinkerbell flying around. And so you're like. You have this. This feeling of what flying in this movie was gonna be like. Like, not the same. So we are now inside the trailer, which is hilariously huge and is clearly just the inside of a sound stage at one of these, like, Disney or something like that. Which, again, very clever to go into the little, little jet stream trailers, and they become these huge things in limbo. I get what they're doing. It saved a ton of money. Very, very clever. And so it's huge. And then a choreographer, Raul, who's Darrell Joe Miller, is teaching a man how to hop this is the new Easter Bunny. Raul meets Catherine and is told not to work too hard. Catherine seems destined for, quote, the big barbecue. Oh, my God. Like, right away, they're saying, you're going. Don't even worry about it. She's going to hell for being a dentist.
Sabrina Bryan
Yep. Like, this is a waste of time is how she's being treated. This is really a waste of time. Let's just get through this because it's protocol and get this move.
Unknown
Harsh.
Sabrina Bryan
This journey on for this lady, this dentist.
Unknown
Yeah. So then, yeah, this dentist who's going to hell. Catherine gets her magic wand and learns the cabbage patch from Raul as he hums the song here. We should play a clip from that scene because it's pretty great.
Okay, now this is how you work the magic.
Are you ready? Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't. Come on.
Sabrina Bryan
Come on.
Unknown
Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
The strangest, most unnecessary dance scene I've ever seen in a movie. I was going, this is when I really almost was just done. I mean, I. And then it got worse because we actually got to the flight.
Unknown
Okay, so this is again, the person who made Master and Commander one of the most beautifully. Literally one of the most beautifully shot films in the last 20 years. It's stunning. Master and Commander. And this. She's just shaking the camera all over the place. It looked like it was. It was just done on the fly, like a reality show from the 90s. It was so strange. And again, I know this. This. It also looked bad just because it was grainy. That was not how it looked in the 90s. I get that. But when you added that into how I had to stream it.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
It was like, what am I watching right now?
Sabrina Bryan
Well, and you. If you were looking closely and we're jumping quickly just to Sabrina sees, and I. I'm sure anyone would see this. This wasn't like I saw something no one else could ever see.
Unknown
Anyone.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, anyone can see this. You can literally, especially with her poofy dress, See where the lines of her getting pulled into the air, like, from, you know, down below. You could see, like, her part of her material.
Unknown
Yeah. Pulling. Yeah, yeah, you could see that. Yeah, you could totally see the. You could.
Sabrina Bryan
You could.
Unknown
You could see the. Whatever. The lines. Whatever the hell they're called.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. I was going to bring this up because I know you love Mary Poppins so much.
Unknown
Love Mary Poppins.
Sabrina Bryan
The idea when they start flying, how. Why does everyone take flying to swimming without water? Why are we moving our arms why.
Unknown
Are your legs not going.
Sabrina Bryan
None of this. Ever get a chance to fly. That's not what my initial reaction will be. To swim without water.
Unknown
No, make it. If you want to make it absurd, make it absurd.
Sabrina Bryan
Taking the legs and moving around. I really wish when she flew into the wall that she, like, went down the wall. That would have been so great because she just kind of landed there, but y.
Unknown
It was. Yeah, okay. Yeah. So Raul, you know, tricks Catherine, making her flapper arms to fly. But eventually, Mitsu's just trying. He just has to hold up her arms. That's all she has to do. He immediately floats about 10ft in the air. Now, this one looked good when he did it. It looked good.
Sabrina Bryan
He looked fine.
Unknown
Must be really thin wires. She follows suit. She is now flying. She flies into a padded wall. So she ends up leaving the trailer, licking her wounds, and is reunited with Rogers, who tells her that she can only fly in at night. She has to wear the uniform and can only think happy thoughts when using the wand. But the biggest rule of all, she can't mess with any mortals lives. While doing this. Catherine is ushered into the community service office, where we see other signs for the Easter Bunny, Father Time, the Boogeyman, and Snow White. I don't know why they would have a boogeyman. I guess just to scare kids.
Sabrina Bryan
Well, Cinderella, Snow White. What did these. What do these Disney characters have anything to do with? Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, you know, nothing.
Unknown
And notice that Santa wasn't one of them. They. They specifically were like, no, Santa's a real guy who lives in the North Pole, but they're walking the halls, and she's almost shot by Cupid, who was, of course, a divorce attorney on Earth. Okay. Catherine is brought into a room where she will sit during the days watching kids lose their teeth on a tv. She also has a fax machine that actually looks more like a typewriter and that will tell her where to go every night. She's told the longer the list, the more time will slow down for her and she'll go faster to get everything done. That is a trick of limbo. They also give her a phone that she picks up. There's a weird dial tone. It never comes back. They never talk about it again. She never gets a call. Nothing ever happens with it. It's like, why the hell is the thing there?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
Rogers leaves, threatening her if she makes one mistake. She's going to hell. First day on the job, do one thing wrong, you're going to hell. I mean, yikes. Good luck.
Sabrina Bryan
I mean, like I told you, they are just trying to expedite this time with her and get her out.
Unknown
Get her out. You are we. You failed before you started Dentist. Catherine looks over a list of kids. This is going to be a lot of travel. And as a printer gives her more names, we hear I Get around by the Beach Boys. Which is a far cry from the dcom synergy we hear in movies like Camp Rock. But we get then the first flying montage of the film my where. Gosh, she's in front of a green screen and she passes through landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Italian gondolas, Japanese billboards, and eventually landing her inside an American home. That this was reminiscent of the bad dream sequence that I did in Boy Meets World for the Good Looking Guy song where it's supposed to look bad and terrible. That's the point. This was just like, what are they doing?
Sabrina Bryan
And it happens.
Unknown
Yeah, so much, so many times.
Will Friedell
It happens so many times.
Sabrina Bryan
And it's one thing to have it once, but later on I would have liked the montage of some sort. Didn't have to be every time they did this flying scene. But her going into several of the kids rooms, you think we don't see that at all. Ever see her just in front of the screen, screen flying around, she's pointing her wand. Now I'm asking questions. Now you've got me on the stupid kick of asking questions of the rules.
Unknown
Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
What is she pointing at when she's doing? What is she doing? Like, is she only going to some houses but on some she's pointing and just zipping the tooth to her and zipping the coin back to them.
Unknown
None of it made sense. No, none of it made sense.
Sabrina Bryan
None of it made sense. And it happened so many times.
Unknown
And they kept cutting back to it.

So she lands in this American home. We see a woman tucking her son in bed, and apparently she can't see the fairy at all. Once the mom leaves, Catherine runs up to the bed and tries to use her wand to leave the money. But instead she accidentally makes the soon to be groom from the sushi bar appear. She says, ron kind of happy. And then says, you had your chance. So the guy said, hey, I'm getting married. Never hit on her, but still had a chance. I did.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. That didn't make any sense.
Unknown
No. So she makes him disappear. Now, here's what I understand. Check me if I'm wrong. But then the kid wakes up and it's Bobby. Right?
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
So who was tucking him in? Who's the woman?
Sabrina Bryan
His nanny.
Unknown
Okay, thank you. I lost that.
Sabrina Bryan
Because if that scene didn't happen because we don't see her again.
Unknown
Right.
Sabrina Bryan
We don't see this nanny again. Thank God that happened because that would have answered the question later on when his dad is. He's only 10, 11. When his dad is out working late.
Unknown
Who just leaving the kid by himself. Yeah, you're right.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay, good nanny, good call.
Unknown
So this is the young son, Bobby. He awakens and he's shocked to see this woman staring, standing over his bed. Obvi.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, scared.
Unknown
He thinks she could be a weirdly dressed burglar and threatens to go ahead and get his dad doctor. Catherine is shocked he can see her and even calls him a snitch. She explains she's the tooth fairy and he thinks she's an idiot. Catherine is crabby, furious even, that she has to do this for these snot nosed kids. The two bicker back and forth until Catherine just disappears into a door. In what has to be one of the worst special special effects in the history of any special effects, Bobby finds a coin under his pillow, which is so large and silver, it has to be from a pirate's treasure chest. And he starts to wonder, did I just meet. Meet the tooth fairy? All right. Also, if you're giving out specialty coins, it's supposed to be a silver dollar because where are you going to spend this magical tooth fairy money? That's. You can't get that at Walgreens. Like, what are you gonna do with this thing?
Sabrina Bryan
Right? Yeah.
Unknown
Give me a dollar. Now back with Raul. Catherine is furious. Is she invisible or not? And the truth is, anyone with baby teeth can still see her. And if you're ever seen by an adult, that's a real problem. So if you lose your baby teeth, you can't see her anymore. If any adults see her, you go to hell. So she confides in Raul about Bobby and is reminded, leave the money and get back to limbo land. Those are the rules. Apparently these I. The rules are changing. I don't understand what they are. Please, please tell me the rules, because I don't. I don't get them. We're now back at Bobby's house. Bobby's getting ready for school. He sits down with his businessman dad for breakfast. And we quickly notice that his dad is a workaholic who's not at all connected to his son. Bobby's got the coin admitting he found it under his pillow. And his dad seems to shame him about believing in the Tooth Fairy. Good, good dad. Another good Disney dad. It's a legend that his mom told him about. There also seems to be something emotional about his mom. We didn't know if she's left him, if she's dead. She might have just smelled bad. We don't know. It's very strange. But Bobby takes off in a hurry. And Catherine meets the Easter Bunny. And he's just as annoyed as she is. She notices that he has a chocolate egg in his basket and ridicules him for giving kids kids cavities in a sort of 1920s. 10.
Sabrina Bryan
This is where I was like 1920s. Like gangster. Yeah, kind of. Oh, I see. I got to like. It was.
Unknown
I see your mug. See.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
Who's giving the kids candy?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes. It was like what? I don't know. But every time we were in limbo, I didn't understand what was going on. It was so strange. The limbo land.
Unknown
She ends up comparing his job to that of a drug dealer, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And she's so connected to being the Tooth Fairy. But I think she's. What she's trying to do because at the end she says every dentist's dream. And so what she's trying to say is, as a dentist, she would love to have been able to tell off the Easter Bunny or whoever created Halloween. Anybody where Candy was involved. She would have loved to. Been able to. To, I think, is what they're saying thing.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay.
Unknown
And this is where we talked again about her character changing so much scene by scene.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah.
Unknown
That I didn't know. And it was also. And I. Again, I don't blame Kirsty Alley for this. This obviously just happened. But for several of the limbo scenes, you could tell her voice was gone. She was really. Had a screech going because I don't think she had a voice.
Sabrina Bryan
That's how I know Kirsty Alley, like that's how she. It got bad done all of the look who's talking. Yeah, she's got that. There's a part where I felt like. And I put. There was a few signature things of Kirstie Alley that are in my Sabrina sees and one of them is her like voice, how it cracks up top when she gets like a high pitch and it kind of cracks like that's for me because I really again, Cheers was on really before I was watching it, I watched Cheers when it was on Nick at night on reruns.
Unknown
Right.
Sabrina Bryan
And so it was, you know that. But then watching look who's talking and all of those movies, those are the ones where those are like to me iconic moments of Kirsty Alley.
Unknown
Yeah, I agree.
Sabrina Bryan
It was a lot in that. I don't know if it was the desert and she was.
Unknown
Yeah, no, it got bad. It got bad also I think look who's talking got it exactly right. I think all babies when they're babies just sound like Bruce Willis. That's, that's my, that's my guess.
Sabrina Bryan
That is the truth of Ledger. I think it's, I mean I think it's true. Hilarious.
Unknown
I think boys are girls. Doesn't matter. You just sound like Bruce Willis. We are now at Bobby's school with his friend Trevor and he's being bullied by the smallest child that's ever walked the planet for money.
Sabrina Bryan
Is this bully literally two and a half feet tall? He was the smallest.
Unknown
Staring up at him like, you're gonna give me your money.
Sabrina Bryan
I was like, wash him. Just be like whatever, dude. And just stiff armed palm.
Unknown
The strangest thing was if you go and watch this movie, keep that kid in mind and then go watch defending your life where there's also a bully and they look identical cold.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh my gosh.
Unknown
They looked like that. But it's the tiniest little kid is bullying him. Bobby notices some girls looking on though. So he lunges at his rival but misses and gets knocked out and robbed. He even loses a tooth. So we've got death, we've got murder, we've got robbing, we've got assault. Great Disney movie.
Sabrina Bryan
We've got assault.
Unknown
It's awesome.
Sabrina Bryan
We got bribery. Getting bribery.
Unknown
Yes.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, man.
Unknown
Later that night, his dad calls from a dinner meeting. He's going to be late. Bobby tries to tell him about getting beaten up but he's hung up on We've got another great dcom dad here. That night, Catherine the tooth fairy is back out flying Sabrina's favorite and dancing now past the Statue of Liberty. Then, in what has to be the absolute worst effect we have ever seen anywhere ever, she dodges an airplane and rapidly spins and cartwheels away of the budget. This was $9.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes. At most.
Unknown
15 at best.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, my gosh, it was. And again, this is probably, what, the fourth time we've seen this green screen. You're just going, not again. Not again.
Unknown
No, this was towards the end.
Sabrina Bryan
You didn't even need it. You knew that when she got there, she had already gone through the green screen motion. And we were good.
Unknown
Yes. Okay. She eventually crashes in Bobby's front yard and attempts to use her wand for the tooth and coin exchange in his bedroom. Bobby again wakes up and they fight over ownership of the tooth. Kirsty Alley here has a very similar relationship with this kid as she did with Ted Danson in Cheers. But Bobby is starting to believe she is, in fact a tooth fairy, despite his dad's thoughts. To help convince him, she morphs her head into a dinosaur and roars at him. Now, this effect doesn't look bad, but what the hell was the point of this?
Sabrina Bryan
Actually was better, but it's probably one.
Unknown
Of the best ones of the movie, I think.
Sabrina Bryan
I agree.
Unknown
But why?
Sabrina Bryan
But why? And who has ever said that the tooth fairy can be anything but the tooth fairy? No one. No one has ever made that assumption. No one's ever said that she didn't learn to do it. Yeah, there was no. This came out of nowhere.
Unknown
Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
And. And she wouldn't need that special power because she's not supposed to be seen by the kids. This is supposed to happen in their sleep. She's just crappy at her job.
Unknown
Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
And so there's. There's no, like, oh, we're gonna give you this special power in case you get seen and you need to convince the kid that you're the tooth fairy. No. Get the hell out of the house. Not even supposed to.
Unknown
See, Nobody also said that, like, up in limbo. Oh, by the way, the other power you have is you can morph into any other animal. You were an animated all of a sudden. Like, what?
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, no, that was weird and not needed.
Unknown
Do you get animagus? Do you get animagus? Do you get that reference?
Sabrina Bryan
No. Amagus.
Unknown
Animagus.
Sabrina Bryan
Animagus. Oh, gosh, no.
Unknown
What do you think it's from some.
Sabrina Bryan
Kind of weird anime thing like that? You see it? Come on.
Unknown
Harry Potter. When you can change. When you can change from a human into an animal like McGonagall. And the cat. You are an animagus. Or like, like serious black. Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay.
Unknown
Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
Well, it sounds like Monroe sometimes says animal, which is aminal. That's what four year olds made up.
Unknown
Word. I'm getting you there. We're gonna get there. We're gonna do this together. I'm taking you by the hand. We're gonna do this together. Yes. Now, finally, Bobby and Catherine are starting to calm down and chat about her new job as the tooth Fairy. Bobby even asks for advice for dealing with girls. Catherine makes the tooth exchange. But just then, Bobby's dad returns and sees him talking to an imaginary person. He's disturbed at the sight. His son might be a little bonkers. Bonkers. The next morning, the dad even stops Bobby before school and mentions that he saw him talking to himself. But he assures Bobby that he also sees his mom and sometimes he talks to her too. So she's also dead. We just found out she's dead. So much death.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. So much death, right? Yeah. We've got two. Two parents so far and a dentist. And then, you know, everyone and everybody in limbo.
Unknown
Yeah. It's just so much dead. But Bobby says it wasn't his mom, it was the tooth fairy. And Bobby's dad reacts to his son like he just admitted he's a dick addicted to meth. Bobby runs off to school and tries to approach Keri Cole, a girl he likes, which again, would be the most popular girl in the school, as we talked to, because she has an alliterative name like your most popular, and Shannon Shipley. Now we have Kerry Cole, a girl he likes. Using advice he got from Katherine. He asked to walk her home and she says yes, things are looking up for Bobby. His tiny little bully isn't around and he gets the girl. And Kathryn saw it all on the little TV in her tiny little restroom room. So she's just sitting there watching Bobby on TV also.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. Which that's not what it seemed like she was going to be able to do on that tv. When she was told what the TV was supposed to do. It wasn't really talking about, like just checking in on any kid and we.
Unknown
Never see what you're supposed to see on the tv. How do they not give us a quick montage? Because this movie loves montages.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
How did we not get a montage of a bunch of kids from around the world losing their teeth?
Sabrina Bryan
That's what it's only supposed to be for. Why are you able. How is she able to switch the channel and check in on specific kids.
Unknown
You are only supposed to see kids lose their teeth. And old random episodes of Room 227 as an old school reference for you. There you go. Look it up, kids. So, yes, after the little date that happened all off camera and where he actually got to hold her hand, apparently Bobby sees Trevor, who's also walking home. Trevor lost his back molar, and he's going to hide the tooth in his brother's cereal.
Sabrina Bryan
Good.
Unknown
Prank Trevor. Instead, Bobby convinces Trevor to give him the tooth and confides in him about the tooth fairy. Later that night, Catherine visits Bobby again, only after stopping by Trevor's and figuring out what's going on. Bobby brags about his date, and Catherine says next time he should carry her books and rouse off a bunch of other romantic ideas. The tooth exchange occurs, and Catherine says the coin has to get to Trevor. It is very important. Those are the rules. She also realizes Bobby is a neglect abducted kid. His dad is gone again, so she decides to stay around, tuck him in, and sing him a lullaby. So the only rule you have, you got to go at night and don't mess with anybody's lives. And she's like, why don't you talk? I'll get into bed and I'll sing you a song.
Sabrina Bryan
No, but back up. How did she know that Bobby had the tooth? How did she know that? Because I think she talked to Trevor. Did Trevor?
Unknown
No, because then Trevor would have known. Right. Because without a coin.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, he didn't. He never saw. He didn't see her until later on in the movie when the other kids are seen.
Unknown
Right.
Sabrina Bryan
That was strange to me. I didn't understand how to actually know to go back to Bobby's room. No.
Unknown
Yeah. Oh, no, I don't know. Again, it's just a glaring explained it.
Sabrina Bryan
Was just a big hole. And then. Then again we move on to her tucking in into bed and singing him a lullaby.
Unknown
Yes.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay. The kid's like 11. I think we're past lullaby world at that.
Unknown
Also, how many. How many teeth does one kid have to lose in a day before maybe you talk to somebody? Even as the tooth fairy, it gets worse.
Sabrina Bryan
In that case, I know you've lost 14 guys.
Unknown
Yes. So Bobby mid dance routine. Because the little cabbage patch is the only thing she knows. Bobby falls. Falls asleep and his dad walks in. Catherine watches on as his dad sits down and looks pained. He obviously misses his wife, and for some reason, this turns Catherine on. Back in limbo land, Catherine sees one of her old colleagues, Dr. Green. He had a Heart attack while playing golf. He's heard hardly anyone goes to heaven after being the Tooth Fairy. He doesn't know why. It's just something he's, quote, always heard. Always. So has he been there since?
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, she makes it clear. And he said, well, I've had to work some things out.
Unknown
Right. So he's been there a long time.
Sabrina Bryan
That's the. Isn't what I thought it was. And I did go back and recheck this.
Unknown
That's the one he takes over.
Sabrina Bryan
That's the dentist who. She takes over his thing. So she had taken it over. Over. Taken it over for a while. That's why she is confused. Why are you still here in limbo? And he said, I had some things to take care of.
Unknown
Gotcha.
Sabrina Bryan
And then now. So he's heard. So he's gone through quite a few tooth fairies, apparently, that all go to hell again.
Unknown
But he was a dentist too, so why wouldn't he be the Tooth Fairy? And why do they all go to hell, all these dentists?
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, that's a good point. I didn't ask. I didn't think. Why wasn't he the Tooth Fairy?
Unknown
Yeah, why isn't he the Tooth Fairy? Maybe because he knew.
Sabrina Bryan
I. I don't know.
Unknown
I don't know. But he says not to worry. And she asks if Dr. Green ever saw her dad in limbo land. He admits that he did. He blew through it pretty quick. And again, how long's he been there? Because her dad died in the 60s, right.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, so if he blew through pretty quick. Yeah.
Unknown
Why would he be there?
Sabrina Bryan
That didn't make sense. No, none of it doesn't make sense. Okay.
Unknown
None of that makes sense.
Sabrina Bryan
Incorrect.
Unknown
The logic doesn't make sense.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah. Incorrect.
Unknown
Yeah. Everyone loved her dad. He was very kind. But Dr. Green has to go. He's on his way up to heaven. It becomes, well, tries to become a touching scene as he walks up the steps. And Catherine says, it was so nice to see him. He says he'll see her again soon. He makes it to the top, grows a terrible pair of wings, and is zoomed up into space. It's just so weird.
Sabrina Bryan
I like that better. I was gonna go, oh, now we gotta see this guy fly. Please. They've already shown, once again, the. The view from the back of his butt going up the stairs. Now we got to see him fly. Okay. No, it's just a beam, all right? I was better with the beam than seeing him do another one of these flying things out in the desert. Was going to be Worse. It was going to be worse.
Unknown
This just a bananas movie, though. I mean, it is an absolutely bananas movie.
Sabrina Bryan
I liked that moment. I thought the. The. What is. That's. That's a stare.
Unknown
Yeah, it's from an airplane.
Sabrina Bryan
An airplane? Yeah, like from an airplane when you enter. I thought that was kind of creative. I did like, stairs are clever, but it's like it.
Unknown
It's so. It's just such a bonkers movie. We are now back on earth. Catherine's house is being packed up by Mindy, and she's watching it all unfold again on her tv. So now, apparently, she can watch whatever she wants when she wants. Raul stops by and Catherine wants to know why she was picked to be the tooth fairy. It can't just be because she's a dentist. He says he's not allowed to tell her. Okay, so we're starting to get that. There's more here. She knows she was a good person, but Raul says she's never allowed herself to love anyone. To get into heaven, she needs to love back those who love her. And man, she feels that one. She watches her best friend Mindy cry and say goodbye to her at the house on tv. But it seemed like she loved Mindy. She loved her dad, which she says, she loved her dad. She loved her mom.
Sabrina Bryan
She pushes off Mindy. She also saw her mom go into the. The closet and didn't, like, go console her. On the day of the anniversary of her father's death, she kind of.
Unknown
It wasn't the closet. It was the lab. She went to the bathroom.
Sabrina Bryan
Okay, well, she was clearly crying and upset, and it's clearly the same day of the death anniversary. So I get that she is kind. Basically, she has these people around her that care about her, and she blows them all off. She blows off her receptionist. She doesn't care about anything going on in her life. This is when I started to click in. Got it. Okay. I see what's. Now. We're. Now. For me, it's making sense what her mission is.
Unknown
They could have. They should have gone farther. They should have gone farther. She had a ton of friends. She had like, another friend called her she. You know. Yeah, I just.
Sabrina Bryan
Right. But that. That's when this started going okay. So it's not just. I thought she was having to fall in love. I was starting to put pieces and I was starting to make up things in my head because there was nothing, though.
Unknown
She.
Sabrina Bryan
I know, but does that too. But nothing was really being explained. So I'm like, she has to fall in love to not go to hell. That's weird. This was. She has to love the people back who love her. She needs to stop pushing off the people that care about her out of her life and not making them a priority. Okay, all right. I'm good with it.
Unknown
Okay. They could have done better. We're now in Bobby's class. The bullies are picking on him again now for dumping Carrie for the tooth fairy. What a loser. Oh, we appear to have a snitch because how could they have known? Bobby hunts down Trevor and to some of the worst background music ever, tackles him in front of the school. He's supposed to be his best friend to be able to keep secrets. Trevor says he had to tell someone because the coin is so cool. And that's a terrible excuse to tell anybody, especially the. Your best friend's bully.
Sabrina Bryan
Your best friend. Yeah. And then gets up and walks away with the guest goes with the bullies.
Unknown
None of the.
Sabrina Bryan
Now he's cool with them because of a weird coin.
Unknown
And the kids performances, they were yelling back and forth at each other. Most of the times they were. It was just strange. And this kid, if you watch Sleepless in Seattle, he's a good actor. He is very good actor. And in this movie, it was like, what the hell is happening right now? The kids performances, all of them, the direction was just. Yeah, just yell back and forth at each other. Even if it's supposed to be kind of a quiet scene.
Sabrina Bryan
Maybe they weren't even really given, like, anything direct, just that. Just kind of like, oh, you guys are just picking on each other. You kind of always just push each other around your bullies.
Unknown
Maybe. But Carrie actually watches all this go down and wants to know about the tooth fairy from Bobby. He explains how great she is, and Carrie wants to meet her, too. So Carrie does the old rope around their tooth attachment to the doorknob trick, and when her mom opens the door, bam, Tooth comes out. And she'll be getting a visit from the tooth fairy that night. And once Catherine does arrive at Carrie's, she wakes up and, ooh, they meet. Catherine tells her to read Little Women and stop eating pepperoni pizza before bedtime. This is again where her character just kind of changed again. Yeah, But Carrie is very interested in getting advice because her parents don't care about kid problems. Catherine is in a hurry, but decides to help out with a biology camp plan before doing the rest of her nightly errands. And I find it hard to believe that this kid's parents don't want her to become a doctor.
Sabrina Bryan
She said that they can't afford to take her to this camp.
Unknown
I get that to go to biology.
Sabrina Bryan
Camp, she has to, like, get some kind of scholarship.
Unknown
But then why wouldn't her parents help her do that, right? I mean, wouldn't your parents be like, we can't afford it, but, man, there's a way for you to do that. We're gonna figure out how to do that. You don't need Kirsty Alley and the Tooth Fairy's help. The next morning. I, I, maybe I'm irrationally harsh on this movie. That's also a possibility.
Sabrina Bryan
You're being kinda harsh a little bit.
Unknown
I did not like this movie at all.
Sabrina Bryan
I know. I can tell you did not like it. Didn't even want to try to understand Norma.
Unknown
Normally there's things in that. I look at the movie and I'm like, okay, I didn't like the story, but the singing was good. Or I didn't like this, but the acting was amazing. Or I didn't like this, but the story was great. None of this worked for me.
Sabrina Bryan
This was starting to get very choppy. And yes, adding too many storylines does start to do that. Now we've got additional kids that we're trying to care about, but we don't have enough information and there's nothing there.
Unknown
And, and his friend group is like, like, they're his friends, but they're also his bullies. But that's now his friend group and his girlfriend is in with that. It was so confusing. It just was whatever it needed to be in the moment. It was very. I apologize if anybody out there is right now dressed like the Tooth fairy, holding the tooth fairy, like, wand with their shirt. I love Toothless so much. Waiting to hear this podcast. I apologize and flip over and go watch Cheatie Girls again. That's what, that's what you should do because I did not like this movie.
Sabrina Bryan
We got a movie for you called Zombies.
Unknown
Amazing. Exactly. I am not going to apologize for my dislike of this film. I just.
Sabrina Bryan
I just didn't get it.
Unknown
The next morning, Bobby's dad is at breakfast when Catherine crashes into his booth. He can't see her, but now she wants him and, like, desperately, very badly is in love with this guy. She bets he was a really good husband and if she was alive, she would have loved to get to know him.

So there's quite a new plot here.
Sabrina Bryan
The newspaper and I went back and he was in that same booth while she was at that restaurant.
Unknown
Right.
Sabrina Bryan
I'm going, okay. So there was some type of disconnect at some point that they should have met, but they never did.
Unknown
They never did. And, yes. So this. This is now all now part of the new plot that they've just added. It's a big turning point for the movie all of a sudden, as Kirstie Alley takes on a new Jim Carrey approach, almost acting like Roger Rabbit a bit. I mean, did you know? It's like.
Sabrina Bryan
I mean, yes, this was kind of jarring at this point, but I did see I was having a little bit more clarity of where we were trying to go. So I was trying to, like, ride this out and see if it was going to end up working out for me, and it was better than it started.
Unknown
Okay, all right. Okay. Whereas to me, it started on the downslope and just kept gaining momentum, and it was a giant ball going down a hill.
Sabrina Bryan
Once I found her mission and figured that out, then I was. I'm able to kind of accept the, like, the holes and the silly things and the things, just whatever. I'm able to do that. But up until that portion with Raul, I was starting to really go, oh, my gosh, how much longer is this movie? I can't. Once I get a mission. Now I'm on it. Now I'm wanting. I'm rooting for this character. I want her to complete the mission.
Unknown
A part of me just wanted her to end up on the elevator. But anyway, we're. We're back at limbo land. Catherine is abruptly woken up by Raul, who noticed she got in very late. She asked him why he's not in heaven, and he reveals he died because he got sick for a really long time. He left behind a lot of friends and family that really loved him. That doesn't explain why he's in limbo, though. Because he got sick. Sick.
Sabrina Bryan
And we never go back?
Unknown
No. It seems like they should have put him in heaven if he was sick for a very long time. He says she has a chance to make it to heaven, even though She's a sinning dentist. He tells her to do what she thinks is right and she'll make it. Maybe what he meant by I was sick for a long time was like, I was evil, but then he would have just gone to hell. So I don't.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, I even went, like, when he. The way he was saying sick, I was like, like, are we maybe relating this to drug? Were you.
Unknown
Wait, that's what I mean.
Sabrina Bryan
Like, was there a bad decision sickness?
Unknown
Like, maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's what we're supposed to like.
Sabrina Bryan
Because the way he was saying it definitely was a little more sketchy side than it was. I was sick with cancer. I had to go through, you know, whatever I drink. You know, maybe you're right.
Unknown
Maybe you're right. Maybe that's what the sick is, is that he's. He was an addict or something.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, something like that. Like, it was more of a darker sickness versus it being a.
Unknown
Okay, maybe you're right. So the next morning, Catherine returns from the real world and Rogers is waiting for her. She wants to know why she keeps visiting the same house. Rogers thinks Catherine is up to something. She'll find out what it is eventually and then send her straight to hell. At school, that little tiny bully and his friends start bothering Bobby, Carrie and Trevor. They all defend the tooth fairy and show off off the coin. The little jerk wants a coin too. So the bullies all fight each other, hoping to knock out each other's teeth. This sends them all to the principal's office.
Sabrina Bryan
Why is Barbie there? What did Bobby do? He was literally just standing there watching the boys fight. No one gets sent to the principal office for watching a fight.
Unknown
But they fought because he's at the principal's office because he's making all the other kids believe in the tooth fair.
Sabrina Bryan
This is when I start to lose it now. And because adults are in on this and this is like a witch hunt, you cannot just. Oh, he's making my kid think that the tooth fairy is for real. That sounds like a parental problem, not Bobby's problem.
Unknown
Nope, blame the kid. You got to blame the kid also. Nobody's blaming the bully.
Sabrina Bryan
Who cares if he still has an imagination?
Unknown
Yeah.
Sabrina Bryan
And these adults in this. This stupid movie. Now I'm getting mad, getting heated over here.
Unknown
Oh, I'm glad you're over on the same plane again, Sabrina. I'm glad we're on the crap plane again together.
Sabrina Bryan
I love it. I'm pissed once again at the adults in the movie that they always make Me mad. They're always.
Unknown
You jumped off for a while, though. You were on a new Delta flight. You're back on Spirit Airlines with me. I love it. I love it. Yeah. So this sends all the kids to the principal's office, where Bobby tells Mr. Norris all about his new fairy friend. This infuriates the administrator, and he calls Bobby's dad. He calls Bobby's dad, which finally gets him to pay attention to his son.
Sabrina Bryan
But he also is not saying also the three of you who are fighting and putting your hands on each other.
Unknown
Nope.
Sabrina Bryan
Go ahead and go back to class. You're good.
Unknown
Yep.
Sabrina Bryan
That's the more important part.
Unknown
You're punching. Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
Having an imagination. We gotta talk about it. And ruin your whole life right now.
Unknown
That's what's happening.
Sabrina Bryan
By the way, say Santa Claus isn't real either.
Unknown
Yeah.
What?
Yeah. Thank you so much for that, everybody. It was like, what are they doing? Yeah. So his dad knows that Bobby misses his mom, but he has to ditch the silly tooth fairy thing. There is no such thing. But Bobby says, yes, she is real and she cares for him just like his mom did that night. Bobby's dad is so sad that he stares at a picture of his wife and talks to the ceiling, asking for advice. Very sad. We pull out to reveal Catherine was there the whole time, listening in, because she's now a creepy star stalker who's in love with this man. And we go right from this, where he's sitting there just lamenting about his dead wife to her staring at him while he's getting undressed moment.
Sabrina Bryan
We've got a pre magic mite moment. I was like, oh, my God. I couldn't stand. I couldn't. Because I didn't know how far we were gonna. Oh. Oh, God. Okay, it was a wife beater.
Unknown
But what kind of creepy lady is she? He's sitting there lamenting the death, and she's like, take it off. Off, big boy. Like, yeah, strip down. As you stare at the picture of your dead and forgotten wife. Like, what the hell is happening, people?
Sabrina Bryan
Like a prequel to Magic Mike. I couldn't even handle it.
Unknown
Toothy Mike movie, of all things. It was weird. Just in time for the Disney sensors, though. Raul jumps in. What is she doing? What is he. What is she doing here? He forces her back to limbo land to avoid trying trouble. The next day, in Bobby's class, kids are eating taffy to lose teeth. The boys all decide to sleep at Bobby's with their newly removed teeth. And in no time, she arrives so apparently, rules are out the window. I'm going to show myself to 40,000 kids at a time.
Sabrina Bryan
Right? And I again, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember the tooth fairy ever happening at anyone else's house. You have to be. It's like that's a. I feel like a known rule. You have to be in your own bed.
Unknown
Yes, Tooth fairy parties wasn't a thing.
Sabrina Bryan
Like, no, you can't do tooth fairy parties.
Unknown
Stepping up and showing herself to everybody. She's terrible at this job. Just terrible. Watching people get undressed. Creepily with kids. There's now a whole bunch, just terrible. Everyone sees her but one bully who she thinks has lost his innocence. The boy thinks. The boys think that's so cool. And Catherine says not to go there because, you know, they obviously think he's boned. This guy's bumped uglies. He's done the hunka chunka. And they're like, he's like seven. It's disgusting. What are you people thinking? Like, how was that even a joke there?
Sabrina Bryan
Oh my God, I know. It was so off putting. It was like. It was at that age, I guess, that pre pubescent there. If they have older brothers, maybe I.
Unknown
Think they would have gone there.
Sabrina Bryan
But anyway, it wasn't necessary. It was a silly, silly, unnecessary joke.
Unknown
She says he must have lost all his baby teeth and that's why he's not seeing her. She trades the silver coin for the tooth and takes off. Off the next day at school. Now Trevor wants to get in on the action because he wants advice on how to lose weight. So we get a montage of seeing the tooth fairy helping Trevor work out, which I love.
Sabrina Bryan
The, the actor that is that, oh, he's great, he's so funny. I love.
Unknown
He's yelling like everybody else, but he's great.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes, but these mo. This montage moment that he has with her working out is what you think of when you see him. You know Little Giants, all those movies that you see, right?
Unknown
Yes, of course.
Sabrina Bryan
That's where he's funny. He's like a funny physical actor and I love.
Unknown
Great at all that stuff. But she is now helping him lose weight, teaching Carrie about becoming a doctor. We even see headlines about kids in the area losing teeth at record speed. And a class photo with everyone missing their chompers. All the while, Rogers is trying to figure out whatever shenanigans is going on. And worst case scenario, back on earth, some moms have charged into school for some answers. If the tooth Fairy has a TV that can see whatever she wants. Why can't the people in Limbo watch her TV to see what she's doing all the time?
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
Anyway, at this point I was like just kind of looking around going like, oh, that's a cool color. Blue. Yeah. Meanwhile, Carrie has passed her biology test and is going to be able to go to camp. And just then, Catherine arrives at school too. She was watching on the monitor and has come to congratulate Carrie. Bobby gets jealous when he realizes that everyone knows Catherine's real name but him. He storms off. He storms off like a little. He storms off like, like a little whiner. Then all whiners are wieners. Then all the students see the Tooth Fairy and surround her in fury. She tries to apologize. So she's just showing up at schools now?
Sabrina Bryan
Now we're talking to the entire, entire school. Class of 1997 middle school.
Unknown
I don't get it. She tries to apologize to Bobby, but he sarcastically calls her too popular now to help. At the same moment, the moms are accosting the principal about this Tooth Fairy nonsense. He says he's done all he can and is not responsible. But they see they're like talking about like literally expelling this kid.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
They see that the energetic circle outside and they says it's linked to to Bobby and they're going to talk to him and his dad one more time. Raul arrives to take Catherine back to limbo land again because it's Judgment Day. When she gets back back, she's very scared and horribly overacting. Catherine is sent to the judgment trailer where she states her case to a panel of judges, all named Joe. Joe. One asked Catherine if she was ever fully aware of the rules when she took the two person job because she's repeatedly broken so many of them. Although it seems to be an open and shut case, another Joe notes that data makes this case a little more complicated. The Tooth Fairy approval rating is at an all time high, but still she's not going to heaven. Catherine is given one more week to clean up her act. If she breaks the rules one more time, it's hell for her. Catherine is very happy about the second chance. Now back in her TV lounge, Catherine watches the parents still complaining to the principal. Now with Bobby's dad getting the brunt of the anger, he defends Bobby. He now believes his son and thinks the Tooth Fairy is real. This very much excites both Catherine and Bobby who are walking by. In turn, the principal expels Bobby. He kicks the Kid out of school for believing in the tooth fairy.
Sabrina Bryan
Yes. Unreal.
Unknown
Okay. So Catherine knows she has to act fast. She speeds back to earth. Even though Raul begs her to stay. She knows it's going to ruin her chances at heaven. But she needs to be seen by the adults and save Bobby. So she leaves with a mission. Back at school, the students, led by Trevor, stand up for Bob. Bobby, if he's expelled, so is everyone else. And then Catherine arrives. The kids all see her, but the adults still see nothing. Bobby is touched that she came back to help. And Bobby's dad is now fully believing everything. Hook, line and sinker. Apparently he's even attracted to somebody that he can't see.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, the dad portion was very confusing.
Unknown
At this moment that Catherine knows she has to let her guard down to be seen. I don't know what's happening anymore. She tries her normal song and dance thing. Nothing's working right. As they're about to accept the punishment, she passionately hugs Bobby. She says she's sorry and it's a true act of love. So she appears to everyone. Which was mentioned nowhere.
Sabrina Bryan
Nowhere.
Unknown
This is not a rule.
Sabrina Bryan
This. Yeah, it was out to be allowed to. Or allowing people to love her and loving other people. I get it. The hug, the. The embrace. Okay. I guess. I don't know.
Unknown
I don't get it. But yeah. She appears for everybody. The now flabbergasted adults can see her. She announces she's the tooth fairy and drops some corny jokes. She tells the adults they aren't listening to their kids and must do something about it. Rogers and Raul then appear to take her away, presumably to send her to hell. And she's ghost napped. She tells Bobby she loves him and she disappears. And when she. Love you, Bobby.
Sabrina Bryan
One of the parents has fainte. Just. Oh gosh.
Unknown
We are now returning.
Sabrina Bryan
Group of parents were the worst.
Unknown
This. It's some of the weirdest and worst adults. And not saying hated them.
Sabrina Bryan
Hated them. And there's one dad that comes out of nowhere. There's three moms the whole time who are just annoying and just so. Just ridiculous and over the top. Then there's a dad that when we get in the theater that has joined forces. But where did he come from?
Unknown
Out of nowhere. We just need a dad here. So we just needed a male presence.
Sabrina Bryan
Like that was so strange.
Unknown
We're now returning to limbo land. Rogers is commandeering Catherine straight to the elevator. Her time has come. Even the marching band is playing. They close the door and she says goodbye to her pal Raul. They press the button and Catherine is slowly lowered into the fiery depths of Satan's embrace as we see a signature Disney montage of the entire movie again. Again, they basically show the whole movie, but it's black and white. We even get some never before seen footage of her tombstone. And when the montage ends, instead of seeing hell, we see Catherine in the aftermath of that original weird bike BMW crash laying in the street. She's not dead. But then why did she take the elevator?
Sabrina Bryan
We. We find out from. From our. Our buddy in like two seconds. After she gets helped. She gets helped up with her friend.
Unknown
With Missy, helped up by the motorcycle bicyclist guy.
Sabrina Bryan
There's a weird moment and a weird joke about her Missy being married. And that was very strange. Yes. And on a strange note, but Raul comes out of nowhere and you're like, okay.
Unknown
So she thinks it was all a dream, but she makes it back to her office. Raul, now dressed in normal earth clothes, stops her. Her. He says to make the most of her second chance, gives her flowers and then leaves. We hear a whistle and it's Rogers now as a traffic cop. She mouths that she'll be watching Catherine. So she's not in heaven or hell. She. She's now a third option. We don't know about it. It's not heaven, it's not hell. It's not limbo. We don't know what it is.
Sabrina Bryan
And it's not a second choice chance either. This is her third chance.
Unknown
Right? But now she has to love. But maybe stop being a dentist. Is that still gonna lead her to hell?
Sabrina Bryan
I don't know. I don't know.
Unknown
Okay, so we're now back at her office. Catherine gives her neglected assistant the flowers, asks her to bring her boyfriend, who she gets his name right, Dan this time, over on Sunday night, and gives her the rest of the day off. This new Catherine is a completely different person. And guess who her first patient is. It's Bobby. He can't believe it's Catherine. She thanks him for all the help and she notices his last baby tooth and pulls it. So he recognizes her when he's in there and he's like, thank you for everything. And I was once again like, wait a second. If we go back to the accident, she never met Bobby.
Sabrina Bryan
No.
Unknown
So how would he remember her? It hasn't happened yet.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh. Oh.
Unknown
You see what I'm saying?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
All of this happened post accident.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, man.
Unknown
So if you go back to the accident, none of the Bobby stuff ever happened.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh, boy. See I was just going with it like he still had his baby tooth, so this was the last of it. But you're right, this wasn't. If it needed to be three months later, it needed to be that exactly a week later.
Unknown
But then you go back.
Sabrina Bryan
I didn't even realize that. I mean, come on. There was a lot going on. I was.
Unknown
None of it happens.
Sabrina Bryan
But anyway, give myself a break for this one.
Unknown
She thanks. Thanks Bobby one last time. But he just. Just stares at her blankly. What is this lady talking about? Now that he's lost his last baby tooth, the innocence is gone. Puberty has apparently taken over. He doesn't remember her at all. She's just his new dentist. And he doesn't believe in the tooth fairy. She goes with this new relationship just as his hot dad walks in. Hey baby, I can't wait to watch you strip tonight. He seems smitten, but doesn't fully remember her. As Bobby and his dad leave, she invites him to a baseball game on Friday and then walks him to her car. We see someone sitting in the waiting room covered by a newspaper. It's revealed to be Limboland Cupid. He's done his job. The narrator then reminds us to go for everything we want in life because there's no reason to be here if we don't. Except if it's a dentist, because that'll send you to hell. Catherine dances again. And that is our movie. Oh boy, I'm exhausted.

I'm exhausted after watching this movie and talking about it. So can we maybe do some real reviews and you've got the five star review this week. Sabrina and I love the name.
Sabrina Bryan
I was just so I love this 5 star from Crisco White 2003. Love it.
Unknown
Crisco White. Great.
Sabrina Bryan
Love it. All right. The cutest movie ever made. Kirstie Alley is the best tooth fairy yet. It's a great movie to boost imaginations and will be in my family for a long Time.
Unknown
Very nice. I, of course, have the one star review, which I. I don't agree with this. I. I don't. This is from Jerry. Jerry said Toothless doesn't look like a dragon. He looks like a flying toad. They should have made this dragon look like an actual dragon. I'm guessing Jerry confused this with Toothless from How to Train youn Dragon franchise, is what I'm guessing.
Sabrina Bryan
All right. I didn't know there was more than one how to Train youn Dragon.
Unknown
Oh, yes. More I could argue. We won't get into that, but I could argue the how to Train youn Dragon is one of the best trilogies ever made. Okay. Because one of the old questions is, what are your favorite trilogies? Because usually some. Not all three are good movies.
Sabrina Bryan
Right.
Unknown
And all three of the how to Train youn Dragon movies are pretty darn good. They really are.
Sabrina Bryan
And this guy didn't like that one either.
Unknown
No, apparently not.
Sabrina Bryan
Jerry, Rock.
Unknown
Thank you.
Sabrina Bryan
Later.
Unknown
And we're gonna go our favorite part of the podcast right now, which is the feature, the game we play because Sabrina loves it so, so much. And the one we have this week is called Facts and Plaque. This movie brings us into the world of teeth, and as a result, we'll be given some facts about teeth, and we have to decide if they are real or just something made up by our producers to trick us. If we get three out of five correct, we win. Are you ready, Sabrina?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes.
Unknown
Here we go. Number one. Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body.
Sabrina Bryan
True.
Unknown
I'm gonna say true as well. Great start, guys.
That is true.
Yes. Number one.
Sabrina Bryan
I don't think I've ever gotten the first one right. All right, I'm gonna stop there. I just broke a world record.
Unknown
We won, and Sabrina won. Thank you.
Sabrina Bryan
Number record.
Unknown
Number two. Early versions of toothpaste used ingredients like crushed eggshells and ox hooves.
Sabrina Bryan
That seems so ridonkulous. It's almost true.
Unknown
I'm gonna say true.
Sabrina Bryan
I think so too. Oh, no. Do you guys know stuff about teeth? This is also true. Yes, that's true.
Unknown
Number three, the first known dentist was recorded in 1903.
Sabrina Bryan
That's it.
Unknown
Now it has to be false. I can tell you exactly why it's false. It's false because Doc Holliday was a dentist, and that was in the 1860s.
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, I can't imagine 1903 is.
Unknown
No, that is false.
Sabrina Bryan
Long ago, but not long enough.
Unknown
I'm gonna say there were dentists in ancient Egypt, so. Yeah, that was false. There were. Doc Holliday is a dentist that sold. Yeah. Less intimidating. Yeah. Doc Holliday was a dentist in Georgia. Dr. Kevorkian's a foot doctor, too. Exactly. You guys, three in a row. That's the first time it's ever happened. Yes. First time ever. We did it. I guess we just know a lot about teeth. I mean, we should just go through the other ones, but we should. Number four. And I hope this is true. A dentist invented cotton candy. I'm gonna say false, but I hope it's true.
Will Friedell
I hope I'm wrong.
Sabrina Bryan
No, I'm gonna say true, but I just. How could that be happening?
Unknown
I'm gonna say false. We're approaching a perfect score by Sabrina. It's true. William Morrison, a dentist, in 1897 founded Cotton Candy. Brilliant.
Sabrina Bryan
Wow.
Unknown
And number five, brushing while upside down is 40% more effective for. For cleaner and brighter teeth. I'm going to say false.
Sabrina Bryan
It's got to be false. Please be false, because otherwise, I just. I can't imagine people brushing upside down. That's got to be. No, it's false.
Unknown
Lisa, can we place like, fireworks and horns? Here it is. Our first five out of five for Sabrina. Five out of five for Sabrina.
Yay.
Sabrina Bryan
I mean, to be honest, it's 5050 chat, but still.
Unknown
You will take it.
Sabrina Bryan
I will take it. I will take it.
Unknown
You are the true too fairy, Sabrina. Now go and watch a strange man undress in his room while talking to his kids. Yay.
Sabrina Bryan
Well, as long as that strange man can be my husband, I think I'll go with him.
Unknown
Right. Well, it's now time. Can we do a Sabrina Seas, please?
Sabrina Bryan
Yes. And let me tell you, it'll be short and quick today, you guys. I just wanted to do a quick little highlight on two of the little actors we didn't recognize earlier in the episode. All the rest of my stuff we basically talked about.
Unknown
What do you got for the two?
Sabrina Bryan
Yeah, we see a very young Kaley Cuoco, even younger than Ally Cat, striped back. She was the second little girlfriend, so not the one he had a crush on, but she had a blonde little Bob. I recognized her. Went on IMDb and confirmed she's in the movie.
Unknown
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
Sabrina Bryan
That very small, small part. She's adorable. She's super cute. In and out. Wow.
Unknown
Good pull.
Sabrina Bryan
Just a few scenes. And then I also. I didn't see it on. On the Internet on IMDb, but I did confirm it with Lisa, our producer. That RJ Smith, who was a huge young Nickelodeon actor for a while. Yeah, he was one of the three bullies. He was one of them. He was from the show the Journey of Alan Strange on Nickelodeon. And he was a young little actor. Again, he didn't have a ton of lines. He was in there. But he was one of the bullies that's yelling all the time. But he likes his name pushing. It's RJ Smith.
Unknown
Okay, I confused it. No, I. I think I'm confusing him with RJ Reynolds who used to make my cigarettes.
Sabrina Bryan
Oh.
Unknown
So, yeah, that's not. I've never heard of them. That. Okay.
Sabrina Bryan
It was RJ Smith. He was a really. He ended up being a really big, young child actor on Nickelodeon. So I just wanted to give some highlights when we get to see those young actors that start with the Disney Channel and then go to do just such big things. So two good polls. That's it for me.
Unknown
That is great. And thank you. And now we must rate our film. You know, we always do it every week. One out of ten or one. Yeah, one out of ten. That's the way you say it. One being bad, ten being great. And our options this week we have one out of ten pirate coins, one out of ten dead limbo parties, one out of ten small bullies, one out of ten Disney deaths, one out of ten Stairways to Heaven, one out of ten stalker tooth fairies, or one out of ten Cool pranks. Trevor, would you like to pick or do I pick this week?
Sabrina Bryan
I will pick because.
Unknown
Go ahead.
Sabrina Bryan
I was a bigger fan of the movie and keep it positive. Here we are gonna pick Disney Airways to Heaven because I did like that one. And I'll go first. First. I'll go first.
Unknown
You go first. Go ahead.
Sabrina Bryan
Because again. Well, I should probably end on a. On a positive note, but it's fine. I'm gonna give this. That's not the most positive for me, as you know. I like to rate them as high as I can. Yes, this week I could not rate it higher than a 5.5. And I will tell you, the.05 was solely because Kirsty Alley was in the movie.
Unknown
Okay, the point.
Sabrina Bryan
The last point. Five. I just didn't. Again, the back and forth, the chaos of the shaky camera action while we were in limbo. I really tried to take that turn in the middle. As you saw. I was. I was fighting this movie. I was fighting so hard. And I still, at the end, came up a little short. So it just was kind of a meh movie for me.
Unknown
So.
Sabrina Bryan
5.5 stairways to heaven.
Unknown
That's good. 5.5. Hey, there you go. I am not going to be as generous with this one. And again everybody out there, I get, I am watching this as a 48 year old man. I totally understand that this one though I'd like to think even 10 year old me would have gone, what the hell is this movie?
Sabrina Bryan
I believe it. I believe it.
Unknown
Didn't get it. I just didn't get it. I. I just didn't get it. I wish I had another way to say I. I. Everything about this movie just struck me the wrong way. That being said, great cast in other stuff, like I loved everybody in this movie in other things they've done. So I think I'm gonna very generously give this movie A4 Stairways to Heaven.
Sabrina Bryan
That's not as bad as I thought you.
Unknown
I could have gone lower but I'm, I'm gonna, I'm trying not to be overly. It was just, it just didn't do it for me. But anyway, there we go. I'm giving it. Four Stairways to Heaven.

Sabrina Bryan
They changed a lot in the movie. I didn't have an older brother. I had an older sister. She did not talk to her alter ego in interesting ways. Oh, we said flicked. I had like them flicking instead of zapping.

Okay.

Podcast Summary: The Great Detectives Present Dragnet (Old Time Radio) – Episode: You Might Also Like: Magical Rewind
Host: Adam Graham
Episode Release Date: December 21, 2024
Description: In this episode, host Adam Graham delves into his second journey through every episode of Dragnet, exploring bonus episodes and additional programs. However, the focal point of this episode shifts intriguingly to a nostalgic discussion about the 1997 Disney Channel movie Toothless.
Magical Rewind, a segment within the podcast, takes center stage as Adam Graham introduces the episode. Co-hosts Sabrina Bryan and Will Friedell embark on a critical and humorous examination of the Disney movie Toothless, blending personal anecdotes with in-depth movie analysis.
Toothless is a 1997 Disney Channel Original Movie that blends elements of fantasy and drama. The story revolves around Dr. Catherine Lewis, portrayed by Kirstie Alley, a dedicated dentist who finds herself in limbo after death. To ascend to heaven, she must fulfill the role of the Tooth Fairy, navigating supernatural challenges while confronting her own emotional barriers.
Key Cast Members:
Crew Highlights:
The movie opens in the 1960s, introducing a young Catherine Lewis whose father, also a dentist, passes away. Fast forward to the present day, Catherine inherits her father's dental practice but struggles with personal connections. After a mysterious accident involving a bicycle and a BMW, Catherine realizes she has died and is now in limbo. Tasked with being the Tooth Fairy, she must navigate a bureaucratic afterlife system to earn her way into heaven by performing community service that benefits children losing their teeth.
Throughout her journey, Catherine grapples with adhering to rules, managing her newfound magical abilities, and confronting the emotional trauma of her past, especially her inability to connect deeply with loved ones. Parallelly, a young boy named Bobby struggles at school and at home, gradually forming a bond with Catherine as she attempts to help him.
Sabrina Bryan critiques the cinematography, highlighting the inconsistency and poor execution by Sandy Sissel. Despite Sissel's reputation from Master and Commander, Toothless suffers from "shaky cam" and low-angle shots that detract from the viewing experience. Bryan notes:
"I was getting... something like vertigo or whatever. I don't know, like something. It was not making me feel good. I didn't like that at all." ([09:20])
The hosts commend the stellar cast but express disappointment in their roles within the film. Kirstie Alley’s portrayal of Catherine is seen as over-the-top and inconsistent, shifting erratically between earnestness and cartoonish antics. Bryan shares:
"I did think she was one of the best actors of the movie." ([14:21])
A significant point of contention is the film’s plot coherence. The hosts find numerous plot holes and abrupt shifts that undermine the story's integrity. From unexplained character behaviors to illogical supernatural rules, Toothless leaves viewers puzzled. Will Friedell remarks:
"Every choice in this movie from beginning to end was weird to me." ([16:41])
Despite its flaws, the movie attempts to tackle themes of grief, isolation, and the importance of human connections. Sabrina notes that once Catherine discovers her mission, she becomes more engaged:
"Once I found her mission and figured that out, then I was able to kind of accept the, like, the holes and the silly things." ([74:21])
Both hosts express a largely negative view of Toothless. Sabrina awards the movie a 5.5 out of 10, citing Kirstie Alley’s performance as the sole redeeming factor, while Will rates it a 4 out of 10, emphasizing the disjointed narrative and poor special effects.
Sabrina’s Rating:
"5.5 Stairways to Heaven." ([102:04])
Will’s Rating:
"I'm giving it four Stairways to Heaven." ([102:47])
The hosts engage listeners with a trivia game focused on dental facts. Sabrina impressively scores five out of five, showcasing her knowledge about teeth.
Example Question:
This segment adds an educational twist, balancing the critical review with informative content.
In their closing segment, the hosts reiterate their ratings with creative labels:
Their ratings reflect their overall disappointment, juxtaposed against a nod to the movie’s memorable cast.
The episode concludes with Sabrina highlighting guest appearances, including young actors like Kaley Cuoco and RJ Smith, who later achieved prominence in Nickelodeon and beyond. The hosts tease the next episode, which will explore the 1996 Disney release Holiday Fair: The Christmas Tree, featuring an interview with author Julia Devillars about her best-selling book adaptation.
Sabrina Bryan ([09:20]): "I was getting... something like vertigo or whatever. I don't know, like something. It was not making me feel good. I didn't like that at all."
Will Friedell ([14:21]): "This infuriates the administrator, and he calls Bobby's dad. He calls Bobby's dad, which finally gets him to pay attention to his son."
Sabrina Bryan ([74:21]): "So she out of everyone really need to. Needed to keep it flat, you know."
Adam Graham, alongside Sabrina Bryan and Will Friedell, provides an engaging yet critical exploration of Toothless. While they appreciate the film’s ambitious casting, the hosts' analysis underscores significant shortcomings in storytelling, special effects, and character development. This episode serves as both a nostalgic trip and a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of mid-90s Disney filmmaking.
Listeners looking to revisit Dragnet will find value in this detailed breakdown, gaining insights into the hosts' perspectives and fostering a deeper understanding of the film's impact and legacy.
