Episode Description:
—
Welcome to the What Are We Doing Podcast with your host, Levi. Today we’re talking about everything from reality TV to movie adaptations of popular books.
We start by exploring the impact of reality TV on teenage girls, and the questionable lessons it teaches about love and relationships. We then delve into the power dynamics of age gaps in pop culture, and whether or not they’re okay.
Next, we discuss generation alpha and millennial labels, and the impact they have on personal relationships. We also share our experiences with growing up with divorced parents and breaking the cycle of family dynamics.
Shifting gears, we take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about our early internet experiences and the importance of online safety. We also discuss the impact of political polarization on family relationships and the root of conspiracy theories in the American experience.
In a more lighthearted turn, we talk about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie adaptation, and our hopes for the film. We also discuss the benefits of original movies and A24 movies, as well as the big blockbusters, like “Uncut Gems” featuring Julia Fox.
Of course, we can’t talk about movies without discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the impact it’s had on the film industry. We also discuss movie adaptations of popular books and why they often fall short.
We wrap up the episode by talking about Disney Channel and Nickelodeon alumni podcasts and reboots, and our thoughts on recent cancellations and reboots. We also discuss the Zoey 101 reboot and Jamie Lynn Spears’ involvement.
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the What Are We Doing Podcast. Remember to stay curious and keep asking the question – what are we doing?

1:35
person walking down the left side of the street say hi what’s up I loved you on the

3:09
79 I love it roast me in the comments dude because I’m the worst podcaster on
3:15
the damn planet
3:27
what are we doing yes okay another good week in the books so
3:33
we like that Brittany just texted me and said hey I called you because she called me when we first said talking because there is a single protester outside the
3:41
Lancaster Planned Parenthood with a sign that says love them both and a little heart where the baby would be way way
3:49
oh God okay why are we still doing this it’s 2023. why are we still doing this
3:56
like can we not can we make a list right now of things that we should just not be doing anymore in 2023 like
4:04
it’s it’s one of those things where it’s like yeah we get it like hey every
4:11
Millennial and their sister has seen the movie Juno like we get it we’ve all seen and if we haven’t seen Juno guess what
4:17
we’re watching uh 16 and Pregnant on MTV for 18 Seasons which is still on by the
4:23
way and it’s still the same girls from the original cast by the way did you
4:28
know this oh the the kids they’re teenagers they
4:35
have their own YouTube channels and tick tocks and everything they’re yeah they’re teens now and so but what it is
4:41
is because these girls like Farrah Abraham and Chelsea and Courtney and all like the OG
4:48
2000 and like three when did it come out like OG girls were
4:55
are are still on the air because they can’t do anything else like you know like Macy and Caitlyn and Mackenzie like
5:02
they’re not getting hired anywhere else favorite Fair Abraham tried to do the whole pornography thing she released an
5:07
anal video which was great and um you know like so they they just made
5:13
a spin-off show like 16 and Pregnant 16 years later and it’s still bro we what
5:20
makes the clips pop up on Facebook and Tick Tock all the time for Megs and she shows them to me it’s just like you know
5:26
like like Chelsea and Gary are now not together obviously because you know your
5:33
whole life being on camera with MTV and having three kids of this person something tells me you’re not gonna make it and like yeah she’s like it’s a bad
5:41
recipe for being a person snow so now Chelsea has a new boyfriend but her new
5:46
boyfriend is lying to her about how many kids he has and Gary the fat ex dad of
5:54
the original 16 and Pregnant kids is like hey there’s something you need to know about your
6:00
new boyfriend and he like hands them these like papers from the hospital or some [ __ ] and he’s like this paper here says he’s got five kids and not two he’s
6:07
lying to you and I don’t want that liar around my daughter and like it’s this whole [ __ ] dramatic meanwhile
6:14
Courtney’s yelling at him like you’re you’re just jealous and blah blah blah and you can’t see me happy while she’s
6:20
getting back into her 2014 Honda Civic because that’s all she can afford because she’s been on an MTV show for 18
6:27
years and it’s like dude it’s it’s one of the most insane pieces of our society
6:33
so let’s add that to the list of things that we don’t do anymore in 2023 16 and Pregnant and uh and uh yeah like Pro and
6:42
how did this start protesting plan but are you [ __ ] kidding me yeah are you kidding me and it’s one person just out
6:48
there it was a sign being like that so I love it yeah he’s like oh God I love it
6:55
also a reminder of a person from the parents church so it like triggered her and I was like yeah that sounds right sounds like the kind of person that
7:00
would be out there as a person from your parents church just being like Oh my God insane listen this is how this is how
7:07
this is how church has changed this is how church has changed I mean you and I have talked about it you and I were
7:12
going to youth group like on [ __ ] bouncy houses and playing like Xbox and wheeze and [ __ ] and then occasionally
7:19
we’d have to learn a Bible verse but other than that that was it now youth
7:24
group consists of volunteers protesting at Planned Parenthood and on the corner
7:30
of you know the the Capitol building and just whatever else it’s just like going
7:37
to January 6 everyone at the YouTube right holy [ __ ] dude I mean dude and it’s just
7:45
it’s bad enough every Pastor well no I can’t I’m sorry I can’t say every Pastor it’s bad enough that 99 of Pastors in
7:52
America are grooming the youth group children uh to eventually marry them it’s like it’s like what world are we
7:59
living in oh living in hell dude I’m so glad I’m so glad I gave you that realization because as soon as you told
8:05
me the story I was like um this doesn’t sound good Paul’s not really saying anything about
8:12
it and I’m like maybe Paul doesn’t know maybe he’s too close yeah I didn’t realize this situation it’s way too
8:18
close but yeah so anyhow after that yeah well yeah yeah my second thing has
8:26
nothing to do with anything but just to kind of in the same vein of like pop culture update go go go so since
8:33
whatever year there’s a Netflix Christmas rom-com TV show called Dash
8:38
and Lily if you guys ever watched it um no Megs and I listen here’s the thing
8:45
with Meg’s and I I know that you and I I really I’m gonna try to get her on a different path here but we it takes a
8:53
very very very um either convincing or extremely good
8:58
trailer or hype or whatever it is around something for us to watch something new
9:03
Megs and I watch Megs and I watch like two new shows and maybe two new movies a
9:09
year and that’s pushing it so if it came out in the last two to three years and
9:14
it’s not like super actiony and something I need to see personally like I watch on my own we probably haven’t
9:20
I’m looking at it now dash and Lily rom-com season one Netflix no never
9:25
heard of it well it’s good uh it’s a really good Christmas one but in the last episode
9:31
there’s like the penultimate like they find each other again yeah saying that happens in all rom-com yeah
9:37
um the uh this cool song that I really liked by this artist that I’ve been listening to this artist Gracie Abrams
9:44
for a while yeah he’s got like a cool cool sound it’s like folk pop kind of okay uh and she just released today her
9:51
first full album which is cool I was like oh Grace Abrams what I didn’t know I’ve been listening to her since 2020
9:58
when dashing really came out and her songs are like the big thoughts she’s JJ Abram’s daughter I say that I’m looking
10:04
at it I did not know that because I’ve just been listening to her music and had no idea and hasn’t looked around dude
10:09
isn’t that crazy I just learned um like I just learned that uh uh that
10:18
like like like Kate Hudson’s dad is someone prominent like all these like all these baby dude like I still like
10:26
great the universe but I thought she was just this like young talented artist right it’s like oh no her dad right so
10:33
now okay so so let me ask you this now does that how does that because it
10:38
sounds like based on your tone how does that change your views and opinions and like I mean will you remember okay okay
10:46
it’s just like I’m like wow how did she go from like being like a 19 year old kid to being like a 23 year old like
10:53
releasing albums with like good producers daddy made a few phone calls it’s like
11:02
her first album like her first album this is not what happened to normal people yeah it was produced by Aaron
11:08
destner of the national who uh is one of my favorite artists of all time right but most famously recently he produced
11:16
Taylor Swift’s folklore and Evermore of course he did so this girl got him to
11:21
produce their first album right and that’s what I’m like and isn’t that every girl’s dream and and do you know
11:28
like listen I mean let’s be honest you’re you’re telling me you’re telling me that Gracie she’s going on tour with
11:33
Taylor Swift too oh is she oh okay well then then she’ll be the next so yeah so so
11:41
yeah she’s [ __ ] she’s really good she’s doing what uh she’s doing what
11:46
Olivia Rodrigo should have done when when when driver’s license you went on tour with Olivia Rodrigo before Taylor
11:51
Swift that’s hilarious that’s hilarious yeah no she get I mean it the thing is
11:57
her music rock yeah good music it’s like interesting different type of Pop yeah
12:02
so I was like oh this is cool this is cool to listen to and then when it was like oh it did I literally today it’s
12:08
like today like 10 minutes before I called you I saw oh her album’s out I went to click on it and like loaded it
12:13
on Spotify yeah and then I like saw on Twitter like JJ Abram’s daughter Gracie releases the first debut album and I was
12:20
like I Hate Everything interesting I mean yeah does it I mean
12:28
so oh man does that like I have a question for you I have a question for you is it so like she’s like kind of hot
12:35
too but she’s 23 and it feels weird now that I’m almost 33. so this is the argument
12:43
and I’ve been watching I’ve been watching videos I’ve been
12:48
hearing discussions because so that I don’t think is so bad what you just
12:54
discussed being attracted to this 23 year old no bottom line no I don’t think
13:00
I don’t think that’s terrible at all especially when she’s on stage in in a
13:05
bra and a crop top and so but but and this all and listen this all stems from
13:11
and of course they they denied it but I mean you’re not spending all day every
13:16
day with the man and not you know touching his dick at all apparently uh
13:21
Leo is is a new 19 year old girlfriend and so he always does there’s always a
13:28
new one right he does yeah and so the issue with that I think and how old is
13:33
Leo is he he’s over 50. he might be over I don’t know
13:39
dude he might be over 50. Leonardo DiCaprio is 48 years old so he might as
13:44
well he might as well be 50. so let’s that’s what that’s kind of weird it’s
13:51
kind of listen I would say Leonardo DiCaprio dating a 19 year old is the
13:58
same thing as people signing up for bad babies only fans at 1201 the day she
14:07
turned 18. that yeah no that’s okay yeah that’s
14:12
fair that’s fair I just I think now I also didn’t know I didn’t know of Gracie
14:18
Abrams until like two years ago between she was like 20. no listen is this but
14:24
but here’s the issue here’s where I mean we’re just talking hypotheticals and gray lines here so obviously like 18 is
14:31
the age so 19 should be fully okay it’s a societal issue right it’s not a it’s
14:38
not a legal issue it’s not he’s not breaking the law anyway there’s the power Dynamic issue with
14:45
like um I would I would venture to get listen
14:52
there’s a girl I went to college with hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on let me pull I’m not gonna say any names
14:58
because well I’ll say the name I’ll just bleep it out if we use it later but Christy I went to school with Christy
15:03
and she in college so we were all 21 22. she
15:09
linked up with this guy and started dating him his name was guy so you know Guy what it’s kind of weird hilarious I
15:16
hate it and it’s like and he was definitely at the time 45 years old and
15:22
he’s now I think 55 pushing 60. like my step he’s my stepdad’s age he’s my
15:29
father’s age and Christy is our age and they started dating when she was 21 22
15:35
23. they named I don’t know if this is new or if we’ve had the name for a while but Megs and I just discovered our son
15:42
Ollivander and all his friends they’re the alpha Generation generation Alpha
15:49
yeah I guess yeah I think so yeah we lose
15:54
back around to Alpha from Z oh is that dumb is that we should just like wait why isn’t that the case
16:00
well it is because gen Z then then Alpha again we Loop backgrounds well yeah but I mean but wasn’t Millennials before
16:06
that so we went from M to Z like should it should be every letter why isn’t every generation a different letter
16:13
I don’t know XYZ is well Millennial is Gen Y technically uh
16:20
but then X that we we were born into like the flipping of the year 2000. uh
16:25
so we we dubbed the phrase Millennial I see okay well listen technology Generation Y yeah also who gives a [ __ ]
16:33
yes dude that’s something I think about all the time I’m like yo all of this is made up and like yeah there are
16:39
differences of when you were raised like if you were born in the 70s versus the 80s 90s there’s definitely things that
16:47
are different and we should we I guess we have to attribute something to be able to measure that so okay your
16:52
Generation Y you’re like whatever it is so dumb though because it’s like General the general sweeping like oh everyone in
16:59
gen Z does this non-millennials do this I’m like I know gen Z kids who act like
17:04
[ __ ] Boomers and I know gen Z kids who act insane that I can’t even relate
17:10
to so it’s totally not it’s just like a generalization no matter what and it’s
17:15
stupid I just had a thought when I was when when am I yeah man oh my
17:24
father stopped talking to me he stopped talking to me like I don’t know like 10 years how old was I
17:30
like 1925 Maybe 23. yeah so Trump wasn’t a thing that I just
17:37
realized something if my father for no reason at all
17:42
never kicked me out of his life and just like abruptly stopped talking to me for
17:47
no reason or at least a reason that no one’s ever been able to explain
17:52
I probably would have been at the Jan six Capital right
18:03
oh God yeah no think of me think of me now
18:08
take everything you know about me now and then Mash that with everything that
18:14
I’ve learned about my father since he’s walked out of my life basically he’s been he goes he cut the visit to his
18:22
sister’s husband’s funeral a woman who he has been close with his whole life his sister that would be like me like
18:29
going to Christina’s funeral 50 years from now and he cut it short
18:35
because Trump was having a rally that day and he wanted to get a good seat like he yeah he turned my 13 year old
18:44
sister into a right-wing [ __ ] crazy loony bin to the point where she’s
18:50
posting on to now she doesn’t do it anymore obviously hopefully I think she might have came to her senses but for about a year and a half she was on Tick
18:57
Tock I’ll I’ll try to find one if they still exist she was on Tick Tock making like let’s go Brandon
19:05
anti-biting like [ __ ] you Trump Trump’s my president Trump trump tick tocks a
19:11
[ __ ] a 17 year old little girl because of her so take all of that and because my dad I
19:20
am my Father’s son I act like him I’m built like him I’m just like him everything I do is him I’m cheap like
19:25
him it’s I’ll make fun of him to the [ __ ] cows come home but it’s me to a [ __ ] T everyone will tell you that
19:31
except except you like your son well of course and yes of course I I have I I am
19:37
not I am not directly uh I’m not directly allergic to human emotion so
19:44
it’s like well there’s a name for what you and Megs are doing which is like even moving out of
19:50
York County across across the river and like doing different things yeah uh that
19:55
uh Brittany and I talked a lot about that we both learned in therapy is like you’re cycle Breakers um
20:01
which is like you know how in Game of Thrones they say Daenerys is trying to break the wheel
20:06
yep yeah that’s uh that’s what you’re doing yeah absolutely 100 that’s such a
20:11
good time but dude could you my dad was my best friend I chose when I turned 18
20:17
because of the divorce we were allowed to choose if we wanted to keep the same Arrangement every other week at Mom’s
20:24
house every other week at Dad’s house or we move out obviously we weren’t really tough well no that was the divorce term
20:30
so from from 10 from 10 putting kids in the middle of it sucks yeah so from 10
20:36
to 18 it was every other week I would I would live with my mom for a week and live with my dad for a week it was a different life I lived every other week
20:42
it was the best that’s why I think I have ADHD and that’s why I can do like YouTube voice because I was one person
20:48
at my mom’s house in a completely different in my dad’s so yeah that’s so trippy to me yeah but it makes sense yep
20:55
but so but when I moved it Ben so my mom my stepmom had strict rules like you had
21:00
to give her your cell phone by 7 pm on weekends like it was so weird she was a
21:06
[ __ ] nut she’s part of the reason why everything went to [ __ ] but it’s a story for another day so I was like well I’m
21:11
going to live with Mom because Mom doesn’t give a [ __ ] when I come home at 11 p.m 12 a.m 1 a.m whatever what I’m
21:17
doing with the kids or the club or whatever and you know and so I was like I’m gonna
21:22
go live with Mom because the rules are a lot less strict but I was at my dad’s house every other day because he didn’t
21:29
work but the weekends so on days that I didn’t have class I was just at my dad’s
21:34
house or before class or after class because he lived 10 minutes from school so I would go to college go to my class
21:40
and then go to my dad’s house and hang out because Conley and Asia were in school and Alicia was working so it’s just that so we’d sit there and we’d
21:46
watch Jerry Springer we’d watch [ __ ] Jersey Shore we’d talk about how hot Sammy is like might we get lunch we
21:54
drink Margaritas we’d smoke cigarettes like he was my best [ __ ] friend then
21:59
something happened I don’t know what the world shifted I don’t know and I was told to never talk to him again it’s
22:05
fine but if that can that relationship would have continued I would have been a die-hard Donald
22:13
Trump fan and everything I know about politics for my father and I learned conversely maybe your dad
22:20
doesn’t become a big Donald Trump oh interesting you know
22:28
because that’s an option in the flip side there you think I would have saved him I would have saved my father I mean
22:35
that’s something Brittany and I talk a lot about because like we so we so Brittany so my parents and I like we’ve
22:42
never I’ve never had like a best friend relationship with either them but like we kind of like I talked to both of them
22:49
semi-regularly they exhaust me but like right he was never that Britney had the relationship with her mom like you
22:55
discovered that like they would like to do trips together like just the two of them and for them a lot of it was the
23:00
fact that like they were a family unit after her dad died and then her mom got remarried and they had two more kids so
23:06
like Britney and her mom have like a forever Bond no matter what no matter what weird [ __ ] goes on and that’s part
23:11
of their relationship and that’s my mom I mean even though me and my mom just went through four years of hell and
23:17
drama and not talking to each other we’re rebuilding our relationship now shout out Sandy Dunkle you know what I
23:24
mean so we’re working through it but my mom after the divorce my mom devoted her
23:31
life her life to me and my sister now while she was married to my father she’s
23:37
still obviously devoted her life to her children but like like the when she was dating before my stepdad when she was
23:44
dating where there was you know Ron the the hillbilly with the guns in the backyard or or or Steve who was recently
23:52
divorced who I think got back with his ex-wife and he had two daughters and he dated her for a while he was a volunteer
23:58
firefighter like my mom definitely has a type and so but then like every it would
24:03
be it would be us first and then them like if we if me I remember me and my
24:10
sister hated my mom dating so much that when she started dating John Dunkel
24:15
we would we had do you remember oh man do you remember the home phones that
24:21
were all rounded and were all translucent colors did you ever have one of those I did not
24:27
have one my sister had one in her room because dude holy [ __ ] remember having two phones yep
24:32
my sister has never had two sister had her own phone line wow you lucky [ __ ] you rich [ __ ] you no we never had two
24:40
and when and when the internet came if you were on the [ __ ] phone guess what
24:46
here yes in your ear because I’m trying to chat with babes dude I’m [ __ ] 13 I’m
24:54
I’m eight years old and I’m trying to chat with babes on a I am okay my parents didn’t discover AOL kids until
25:02
like 10 years later like we I’m almost positive I was in a a chat room that’s
25:09
what they were called yes I was I’m almost positive I was in a kids only chat room with like 13 pedophiles I
25:16
guarantee you I was talking to pedophiles at maybe eight years old when we had a computer my parents got us the
25:22
first big all-in-one Gateway PC this sentence the sentence I guarantee you I
25:28
was talking to pedophiles to something that I didn’t think I was gonna be hearing today but here I am I mean think
25:35
about it all right like I mean hey I maybe you weren’t maybe you had a different internet but AOL before it
25:41
definitely was in chat rooms that were like weird and not where I was supposed to be that definitely happened to me for
25:47
sure yeah like for sure like like Chris Hanson definitely showed up at the door
25:52
with a pizza at one of the people I was talking to on AOL Instant Messenger
26:00
no dude sorry so so yeah yeah so Brittany and her mom
26:06
yeah yeah and like so she sometimes like I don’t know thinks
26:11
about like would it be different if I had like because a big shift before before Kobe coven was a very big kid
26:19
but it definitely started before like like talking through some stuff yeah and
26:24
she always sort of goes through like if I had like not put intentional distance to like bring like to find myself would
26:32
I have like been able to like not have my siblings also like go down this like she sort of like plays out the
26:37
theoretical sometimes right and like I I don’t know I don’t I don’t think you know you can’t it’s like you could drive
26:44
yourself about thinking about like well what does this happen instead of what happened right but like I don’t know dude it’s interesting to think because
26:50
like I think personally to like Trump’s Vortex that’s beyond Trump now into the
26:56
like crazy stuff that we deal with that like sucks people into it and like destroys families I kind of think there’s like some result
27:03
of like because because I I know I’ve seen on like forums even like old people like
27:10
people with like our parentage being like Oh none of my kids talk to me anymore and like they’re I just want
27:16
them to know about the Great Awakening and like I think who said that oh yeah dude who said that
27:23
there’s parents there’s parents Matt I swear to God I swear on my and Megs
27:31
hates it when I say this but I swear on my son’s life if sand if the words I
27:36
hope I wish my son would talk to me again so I could warn him about the Great Awakening ever comes out of Sandy
27:44
dunkle’s mouth I’m done I’m out I can’t the Great Awakening are you kidding me
27:51
that [ __ ] that [ __ ] pops up all the time and like what but you’re not based on all those
27:58
but you’re not on Facebook so where do you see this oh you know I I see people
28:04
no twitch people who go like because I listen to and follow people who investigate Q Anon and all of it yeah
28:10
yeah like their twitch streams they’ll like go through Facebook okay or like they’ll investigate Facebook groups
28:16
dedicated to like conspiracy theory got it got it and like it’s so sad because I
28:21
think it’s a root of like kind of the root of the American Experience of like the fact that our entire country is yes
28:28
the conspiracy theory yeah because it’s like kind of true no matter what side of the coin you’re on you’re like you you
28:34
think something like the people like Democrat like normal Democrat people who are like Trump’s gonna get arrested any
28:40
day it’s like dude it’s been years he’s not going anywhere like so that’s
28:45
happening either so do you think um
28:51
well hold on let me finish my thoughts yeah I feel like at the root of all of
28:56
it from all of the stuff I personally have experienced and then also like following and listening to like podcasts
29:02
that explore this stuff I kind of think the root of the fact that we’re all obsessed with trying to figure out like
29:08
who’s doing this to all of us quote unquote yeah is like at the root of it like people who are lonely and sad who
29:14
like wish that their life was different like I think that that’s kind of the root of it all and like it’s easier to
29:20
like sanitize about like some big spirity and like demonic cabal or
29:27
whatever as opposed to just being like man I could just like what if I just apologize to my kids
29:32
did that instead yeah imagine that imagine that imagine could you just
29:38
imagine that after after not talking to your son for 10 years and then you’re together for a wedding in Mexico by you
29:45
know just whatever odds in the world and the first words out of his mouth are hey
29:50
V where’s my grandson and not a sorry not a high not a uh you know we need to
29:56
talk not a not a nothing but where’s my grandson [ __ ] you don’t have one is
30:02
exactly what I told him like come on bro like what are we talking yeah that [ __ ] sucks did you did you see the
30:10
news that I just sent you
30:18
um so no did you know did you give us a full did you give us a
30:24
full breakdown of the Ring of Power series is that what happened ring of
30:31
power ring of power sucks this is see this has been tossed so like I oh God I
30:39
I’ve been assuming this would happen at some point because it’s the same thing
30:44
as everything where we can’t leave it alone and leave it but like those
30:50
original movies are perfect yep sure are yep don’t do anything yep so okay so we
30:58
get so we get so we get the three original movies right and they’re masterpieces they’ve won awards they’ve
31:05
done this they’re they’re beautiful it’s Peter Jackson I think they’re the most awarded movies
31:11
billions of dollars in makeup and practical effects and hours and weeks
31:17
and years of filming I mean and so then we’re like hey let’s just you know franchise this [ __ ] up and give us
31:24
three hideous uh Hobbit movies and so
31:31
you know that was fun for a little while and then we get ring of power which you
31:37
say wasn’t it good at all it’s not good at all okay okay
31:46
and I mean the caption the caption’s Fantastic the caption’s Fantastic
31:52
they’re using a picture of Frodo holding the ring and it’s like it’s so funny
31:57
they’re using an image of someone who needs to Simply let something go but can’t
32:04
so then okay so how do you feel so then but how do you feel you’re probably not
32:09
as attached to it as I am but how do you feel about Harry Potter and the cursed child with Daniel Radcliffe Emma Emma
32:17
Stone no not Emma Stone Emma Emma Watson Emma Watson and Daniel Rupert you’re making that they’re making it into a
32:23
movie and the three originals are set to come out yes play that was written like
32:29
in the play it was like a Broadway play or not a Broadway play but like a like a England whatever the big Globe Theater I
32:36
think it was a uh yes it was so it was a play it was a play based on Harry and
32:43
Jenny’s child right the cursed child later yeah it’s later everyone’s growing up so and so and then they turned and
32:50
then the manuscript became a best-selling book or the the whatever it came a book and then and now obviously
32:57
they’re making it a movie because the Fantastic Beasts series failed because of Ezra Miller grooming children even
33:03
though they’re still putting them in movies and putting a billion dollars into the Flash and Johnny Depp’s trial unfortunately so that kind of killed
33:10
Harry Potter Warner Brothers what’s funny is like a week ago they said it was dead a week ago Warner Brothers came
33:16
out and said hey we’re done with Harry Potter for now we’re gonna kill the franchise maybe we’ll revisit in a few
33:22
weeks few months few years whatever and then a few weeks went by and they announced cursed child
33:29
so that’s fun yeah I I I feel like that
33:35
at least like I I hated the Fantastic Beasts story I watched the first one and I just didn’t
33:41
watch any more of them it was like really boring to me so uh yeah I I feel
33:47
like I’d be more interested in the continuation of the original characters than anything so that to me is like okay
33:52
well I’ll watch that I’ll probably watch that but also like I kind of don’t care
33:58
because like the thing that sucks about this like way
34:03
that stuff is going with movies is like this here with Lord of the Rings more Harry Potter
34:09
I’m like exhausted about including like one of my favorite franchises Star Wars
34:15
like I want them to make less and just better things instead of like just continuing to make
34:22
more nostalgia which is I guess what kind of Harry Potter and the cursed out it’s like
34:28
playing on oh we’ll bring it back to original cast right it’s like Nostalgia so it’s like I I like I I would like to
34:34
see more creative like that’s okay Andor perfect example of in the universe of a
34:40
franchise but totally completely unrelated to like there’s no Luke Skywalker there’s no Darth Vader there’s
34:45
no like anything related to anything it’s just like this story that’s like self-contained within a universe but
34:52
like is just like a new story and interesting that is what was cool about that I we I
35:01
we just don’t do any we don’t do enough new things we just do the same and the fact that we’re remaking was one of the
35:06
greatest movie franchises ever like Lord of the Rings like what are we doing what like that’s
35:13
terrific here’s the issue so and this is my next question and I’m so glad you brought it up it’s perfect
35:20
why we’re perfect for each other um because they’re doing because your
35:25
wife is pretty upset about this Lilo and Stitch reboot coming like it’s also
35:31
stupid it’s just it’s it’s like you’re right you’re right and hey do you know what else you know what else is
35:37
hilarious the people who still have the [ __ ] balls to do an original movie or
35:43
an ID or something you know like an idea like that are winning like look at like
35:49
I’m pretty sure cocaine bear might be one of like uh early releases it comes
35:54
out today I think for the Mass public but like everything I’ve seen so far great rave reviews amazing and I’m
36:02
pretty sure the one day that Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey was in uh theaters here in the US I’m almost positive they
36:09
they got like the best outcome possible like everything I ever wanted
36:15
like it’s different so people are like oh new and different I’ll check that out yeah like yeah I mean that’s
36:23
the thing the thing that I like love is like I like one of the only film studios where I’ll go see the movies in theater
36:29
100 of the time it’s day 24. really uh because a24 makes wild [ __ ] right weird
36:38
movies that like no one else is doing a 24 star movies because they’re kind of like the last independent theater that
36:44
has enough like sway to like make something like they did a couple years ago the Green Knight which is a weird
36:51
trippy story which is like based off of a poem about
36:57
but like they just did a whole movie based off of a poem and created like a weird trippy story or like they did
37:04
everything everywhere all at once which is probably in my like top 10 favorite movies of all time dude I’m I’m looking
37:09
like I’m looking at them now and I mean their their lineup is pretty it’s like
37:15
if I showed if I showed what I’m looking at to Megs she would think that she
37:21
would say you and I made these movies before uh you know like she’s never she would never Megs would never be caught
37:27
watching probably any of these and like she wouldn’t know anything about them but like if you watched uncut gems
37:33
speaking of a25 I gosh I’ve seen bits and pieces I tried
37:38
watching it when it came out but I’m not I’m not a sports fan and I just you said
37:44
Jen says a special place in my heart because it’s the last movie I saw before coping yeah yeah like when when the
37:51
world shut down that if if movie theaters didn’t come back that was the last movie I saw and it was so [ __ ]
37:57
crazy and I was like damn also my friends my uh my buddy Nate and
38:03
I talked about this Julia Fox because like you sent me that she’s like crazy yeah something happened and I guess
38:10
Kanye Julia fox in um uncut gems looks and acts like a
38:16
totally different person than she is now it’s like really weird and I guess coven
38:22
happened to her too you know we all lost so much but uh yeah well she was John softy’s meals
38:30
yeah she rules and then touch him so he’s good she’s like the Mistress of Adam Sandler he’s great in it right but
38:37
uh yeah no that movie is yeah a24 though like I I will see their movies because
38:43
they make weird [ __ ] interesting they made interesting cheers yeah and it’s and
38:48
that honestly I think other than the couple of Marvel movies I’ve seen since covid because I’m never going to see one
38:54
of those in theaters ever again uh I thought I’ve only watched a24
38:59
movies I’m so done I’m so done bro with the
39:05
Marvel movie the one listen this is hilarious so okay this is hilarious to me the fact that I don’t know if you
39:12
know this but now as of now um and we weren’t oh God I’m so pissed
39:17
about it and I’m never gonna watch it because of this Avatar 2 is now like the best movie of all time because of the
39:24
bajillion dollars it just made so it just surpassed everything but what’s hilarious what’s hilarious is that
39:31
Disney and Marvel are are are marketing the new Ant-Man quantanium whatever
39:36
movie Quantum media Quantum Mania right they’re they’re promoting it as the
39:43
number one movie in the world right now that and I’m like hey wait a minute I
39:49
thought Avatar 2 made a trillion dollars and I haven’t seen any of those movies I
39:56
the last the last big budget movie I saw was Doctor Strange yeah Madness I know I
40:03
think we talked about this like it actually made me curious because I was in this movie’s so bad yeah and I know
40:09
it’s gonna make a ton of money and everyone’s gonna and like and people are like oh it’s so good it’s
40:15
such a good movie I’m like no this is a shitty movie like you all are brain dead like what’s wrong with you like it’s
40:21
almost dude and it’s it I the last one I think I saw in theaters was maybe
40:28
I think they’ll honestly I think if we’re being honest I think the last
40:34
Marvel movie I saw in a theater might have been with my buddy Fred and I think it might have been the first Guardians
40:41
of the Galaxy movie which is a good one like and after that I watched him at home if if I watched
40:48
him I watched the trailer for the new Ant-Man thing because I don’t pay for anything so our Hulu has ads on it and
40:55
bro what are we doing like I know Ant-Man is has been in like
41:03
a time another realm for the last six movies I guess that I haven’t seen and
41:08
now but his daughter is there okay please please this story is the second
41:15
half of the last Avengers which was end game is the last one okay because
41:21
Infinity war was the first one right any more in the end game yeah I think so yeah yeah yeah yeah I think so uh so
41:30
in between those two movies Ant-Man 2 came out which is called Ant-Man and the WASP right and Ant-Man and the WASP ends
41:37
the last scene of Ant-Man and the WASP Ant-Man goes into the quantum realm oh
41:42
[ __ ] because they’re exploring the quantum realm and then the people uh
41:48
Michael Douglas and Michael Douglas is still in it
41:53
yeah and the girl from Lost uh Evangeline Lilly and her mom is Michelle Pfeiffer she’s the boss oh my God
42:00
they’re outside waiting to like pull them back out of the quantum first because that’s what I do it like somebody has to pull you back and they
42:07
get erased by Thanos snapping you get stuck in the quantum version they get erased by Thanos
42:14
so in end game there’s a five-year gap between the snap and end game oh so he’s
42:21
been so homie’s been in the quantity yes okay any questions questions because we
42:28
don’t know how can you eat in the quantum verse does he go to the like how do you live in the Quan does he have a house there it’s been five years
42:36
I’m assuming they explained this in this movie I have no idea okay in end game
42:42
he’s like out he gets and he drives up to the Avengers facility and tells them like yo I think we can time travel
42:49
through the quantum first and that’s how they fix everything basically right because they time travel back in time to
42:55
put all the every point in time to get all the Infinity Stones and I put him back yet yeah so
43:03
the quantum verse he was there and then I guess his daughter grew up his five years past and now we’re here
43:11
so all right and his daughter his daughter has a costume on in the trailer so she’s like Aunt girl now right so now
43:18
we have an ant girl listen yeah it’s just like an Iron Man where like all of a sudden everyone has an Iron Man suit
43:24
and it’s like all right like right not every character can be a superhero because the other piece is like it’s
43:30
none of it like none of it means anything now because it’s just like there’s only so many times you can have
43:36
a story where like oh man this person like they did something like a movie ago and I feel bad about it so now they have
43:43
to like find Redemption by doing another thing and like there’s always like some like emotional handy point and they grow
43:50
and they learn and they learn from their mistakes and the last thing and they’re going to show us how they learn from the
43:55
mistakes right I mean uh listen now you can I
44:03
mean one could argue that the very first Iron Man film had that same premise
44:09
but we only did my favorite one in the entire
44:15
Avengers series okay the only movie that is not that premise yeah
44:21
in America and the Winter Soldier because the centrifuge of that movie is Captain America is dealing with the fact
44:27
that like he was like in Frozen for a hundred years right or 50 years yeah
44:34
and he’s like trying to figure out like what life is he’s like dealing with like
44:39
yo I was like when I went into ice it was like the 40s and now it’s 2000s like
44:45
what the [ __ ] yeah and and he and he thinks like everyone he knows it’s gone because they’re all old or dead right
44:52
and so and then the whole thing is him being like Oh who am I now right am I a
44:57
soldier am I I mean I’ve been here am I just a guy who lives in the timeline that can’t die like what is this right
45:03
so like that premise is interesting and then also like he finds out oh my best friend also was frozen and it’s still
45:09
around but he’s evil now and it was like this interesting thing and then also he finds out like oh Shield’s actually bad
45:16
because they’re trying to hold a gun to everyone like it’s a very interesting like it was not the same thing as all
45:22
the other ones right and I love that movie because it’s such an interesting Nuance like story and it’s like oh cool Captain
45:29
America is like realizing that like oh maybe the US government isn’t right all the time well I’m like oh it turns out
45:35
like that well and they didn’t they didn’t make him they didn’t make him Captain America
45:40
which is like the like comic books 101 right I think I’m right on that that
45:46
Bucky Rogers like the Winter Soldier becomes Captain America he becomes Captain America
45:52
and like they made like Falcon like Falcons Captain America now he had a
45:57
failed Disney Plus show I don’t know man I watched that so I watched a bunch of
46:03
the first run of shows I watched One Division yeah I watched Captain America and the Winter Soldier whatever the hell
46:09
it’s called Uh Falcon in the Winter Soldier and then I watched uh Loki and I
46:14
think the last one I watched was the one with uh hawk guy the Hawkeye one uh and
46:21
there’s all stuck now too they started out pretty strong like long division was great okay mainly because Elizabeth
46:27
Olsen carried the entire franchise on her back she like is a great actor right
46:32
crushed it right uh and like they like wrote it interestingly and it was also weird because it was just like why is it
46:38
the 50s now why is it like the 70s why are we in Malcolm in the Middle like you’re very confusing and weird right uh
46:44
until you figure out what’s happening like by the fifth episode I think they finally reveal what’s happening it’s like oh this is kind of crazy uh and
46:51
then the best part about that is that that show develops like Wanda realized like oh I can’t use my powers to do
46:56
weird stuff and then she is just a totally different character in the next movie she said when she when she like discovers who she
47:04
is and what she can do she’s like but like it’s like all of the character development up to that point
47:10
was a race they put out the doctor strange movie that she’s like the villain in now
47:16
insane dude insane it’s so bad it’s so bad it’s stupid and they need to stop
47:21
and like apparently Bob Iger said he’s gonna slow down Marvel and Star Wars now oh is he oh Bob Iger yeah no no he’s not
47:30
he needs to pay for his salary and if you stop making Marvel movies now listen
47:37
Paul and I are the only two woke people on the planet and so if we stop making Marvel movies if we stop if we stop
47:46
making Marvel movies then it like you know Bob iger’s not gonna have a salary
47:51
anymore are you [ __ ] bro no way we’re gonna double die you’re like oh I’m
47:56
stepping down
48:04
especially especially now especially now that they like sheisted and shunned
48:11
their boy uh James Gunn and so DC was like hey we’ll take you hey we’ll give you a job
48:18
and guess what this Schneider guy’s not really working out so you do whatever you did for Marvel over here at DC and
48:26
we’ll just sit back and let you kind of do whatever you want to do yeah you want to bring Superman back hey bring him
48:31
back you want to start a whole new Batman thing and bring this Batman back with with I I’m almost positive I’m
48:38
almost positive with uh now him at the Helm of the DC movies and with the new
48:45
Flash movie We’re going to have Robert Pattinson Ben Affleck and I think I
48:52
think with James Gunn’s new Batman movie we’re getting back a Batman that was
48:58
there before and rumors are it’s either Christian Bale or uh someone else
49:06
uh we’ll see so you know what I mean so like now we’re gonna have three it’d be cool if Christian Bale came back but I’d
49:12
be really surprised he’s got to clean it up I hope he cleans it up I hope he does good I hope he does good dude it’s just
49:18
like but like can we just like I’m making superhero movies like make other movies yeah well that I
49:25
mean that’s it’s no well let’s see but that’s the issue like where’s the why
49:30
did we shelve the Batgirl movie like according to everyone that we’ve talked to it was like one of the best movies
49:36
that DC was gonna put out I mean get rid of it right we just get rid of it
49:42
it’s crazy and then we can still put out the Ezra Miller movies yeah I don’t oh the instrument dude the Ezra Miller I
49:49
mean come on come on this Lord of the Rings news is really like I’m very troubled by this because one like
49:55
it it would be like I’m trying to think I mean I guess it would be like remaking
50:01
the first three Star Wars because it kind of has the same cultural interest right so so what do you do think about
50:06
like the mean right the means that exists from The Lord of the Rings franchise like the one that’s simply not
50:12
just walk into Mordor I mean and it’s existed since the dawn of time of the internet like how are you how are you
50:18
gonna how are you gonna try to culturally rewrite something that has been part of the DNA of the like since
50:25
2003 right like these have been like everywhere so what do you think so what
50:31
are you redoing these right so what are your predictions do you think this will be a like we’re starting over there’s a
50:39
character named Frodo and the Shire and Gandalf comes with a ring and we start all over again or do you think this will
50:46
be like after the events of everything and the Earth has changed and some you
50:53
know another group a hobbiters something uncovers the ring again and then like I
50:59
what I don’t have any clue what they do because like rings of power rings of power was like
51:05
incredibly confusing so where was the time so what what was the timeline the raising power rings and powers like I
51:12
think like a couple hundred years before the event the Lord of the Rings I’m pretty sure and The Hobbit and The the
51:18
like the main main point of of the Rings of power was like oh this is before the
51:25
story you know and the only two characters that we like know for sure at
51:30
the beginning of it are elrond who is Hugo wheezing in the original trilogy yeah and uh galadrio who is Cape
51:37
Valencia and they were drawn right and like it’s like a young elrond and a young Galadriel like the two elves as
51:42
the only characters we like have known before yeah but but the problem with it
51:48
is and because of Lord of the Rings fans is like Tolkien wrote like so many notes on what
51:55
the history of Middle Earth was like there’s a whole book that his son released after he died yeah called the silmarillion that isn’t really like
52:02
narrative it’s more like he just kind of wrote for himself like the history of things so he could like have a
52:08
background for what he was doing for the story he did right like Lord of the Rings in The Hobbit are like fully
52:13
fleshed out stories he wrote the silmarines like his notes on the history of Middle Earth for himself basically yes and the rings of power ignored all
52:21
of that and it made up their own weird story and like in their weird story like
52:26
Sauron is like hiding as like he’s like he’s like a random dude and he tries to
52:33
like seduce Galadriel to join him as the dark lord and then he tricks everyone
52:38
and they they terraform the Southlands of Middle Earth and turn them into Mordor and it’s like this absurd story
52:46
where I was just like this [ __ ] sucks like this is like so it’s very marveliz
52:51
right right like they like did the like Marvel thing of like oh well the bad guy is actually the good guy and now he’s
52:57
like tricking everyone and now this is happening and like it wasn’t really well executed it was like really crappy and
53:04
like weird and then like the story was not at all like he was just kind of like oh so that
53:12
guy’s Sauron okay right I guess that whatever yeah
53:17
that’s it yeah it’s very weird and then they just kind of gave you like the the
53:22
the the the the the um oh geez what’s it called they gave you the uh the
53:31
oh my God the origin story of Sauron and that’s it yeah but but different but different than it’s ever been told in
53:37
like the actual books or anything which is fine because books don’t have to translate exactly but like right when you have a fandom that serious you can’t
53:44
really do it so egregiously you know what I mean like you’re trying to be you’re trying to but but I guess they’re
53:50
not worried about the spoken fans they’re trying to get new fans probably because it’s the Amazon’s doing but
53:55
um yeah and then so The Hobbit story those movies also suck which piss me off because the hottest book is one of my
54:02
favorite books in childhood yeah and I loved it and the movies the the
54:07
book the book could have been two movies there’s like a very distinct part in the
54:12
book where it’s like uh Gandalf comes and tells Bilbo like yo I need you to help me with this thing we need a guy
54:19
that’s like your size and then all the dwarfs come to his house and then he goes off on an adventure with the dwarves and then in the book there’s
54:26
like the forests they travel through yeah you could have had the end of movie One be like all of the events up to the
54:33
forest and then movie two is like the forest and the rest of the story that would have made perfect sense
54:38
because that’s kind of like how the story breaks up in the book yeah but they made it three movies because they
54:43
wanted to make more money and each each like they added all this stuff that like
54:48
wasn’t part of the story and then there’s like a weird story where like an elf and a
54:54
dwarf fall in love it was so bad it was so bad it was like terrible and I was so
54:59
pissed off the whole time because I was just like I love this book and like it’s a prequel to Lord of the Rings
55:06
well it’s like it ties in in a way where like you’re like oh this is how Bilbo gets the ring and I’m like oh here’s how
55:11
Gollum loses the ring and like oh here Gandalf like okay and then in the movie they like shovel like it lost in they
55:18
like bring Orlando Bloom back to like oh another character you know like kind of thing like who’s not in the book
55:24
even though he’d be alive but he’s not in the book and I got like a lot to say here’s a random Bloom you guys like him
55:30
right right it’s just like this weird like stupid I just hate I hate that we
55:36
keep doing this and that was actually you know Harry Potter I think might be the first one where they took the last
55:43
book and split it into two movies and then everybody started doing that oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
55:50
yeah yeah yeah oh yeah I remember yeah they split the book and like that
55:57
was the first time I remember that happening yeah oh yeah everybody just
56:03
started doing and then the Hunger Games happened and then yeah they split the last Hunger Games in the two I never
56:12
I don’t think I don’t think I finished watching The Hunger Games series and I don’t think I finished watching
56:17
they so I read both books but I don’t think I finished the series yeah so um
56:23
99 sure this is all accurate The Hunger Games I’m pretty sure the last movie was
56:30
just the first one Candace plays again her boyfriend plays again they all play again but while they’re playing they
56:37
break the force field and they break into the they they fear the second one they free all the people
56:42
ah second one well then the third one in the book in the books the third one is
56:47
they go to war with the capital and they get all the other districts to fight and then District 13 which is like the
56:54
hidden secret one yeah yeah they come in and kill but but they accidentally kill
57:00
her sister in the bombing oh no you get killed by 13 bombs outside the
57:07
capital that’s right and then she’s like I can’t be with you Liam simply and Hemsworth guy and she’s like I’m gonna
57:13
go be with the Peter Mellark who is Josh Hutcherson guy she chose Peter right she chooses Peta over the six-pack I don’t
57:20
think I’ve watched the last movie because I I don’t think I cared anymore at that point and then Divergent I don’t
57:27
think they finished it I don’t think they ever released the last movie well dude it would be hard to finish
57:32
Divergent because in the books that virgin took a Divergent as a book was like a big risk I thought of yeah it’s a
57:38
first person narrative of like the girl whose name I’m forgetting yeah she dies in the book and they have to switch to
57:45
another character’s perspective for the last few chapters she dies trying to free everyone and the main character
57:52
your first person who’s narrating the entire story gets shot and killed he’s trying to save everyone yeah so I was
57:59
very curious how they were going to do that in a movie because like it was uh what Shailene Woodley is in there
58:04
Cheyenne Woodley yeah and I mean even though she’s like a crazy nut job you
58:09
know activist or whatever now man she’s sexy and I’m just saying all
58:15
I’m saying is all I’m saying is I think The Secret Life of the American Teenager
58:21
was one of the worst shows ever on television I’ve never I’ve never seen some of the worst acting some of the
58:28
worst dialogue I mean it was insane but basically the premise is she’s like 16
58:34
in high school and her and her nerd boyfriend have sex for the first time and she gets pregnant so you know and
58:40
then everyone else The Secret Life of the American Teenager it basically was for parents to watch they knew what we
58:47
were doing any given day at a time oh cool so they didn’t know how we were feeling about it yeah I got it so no
58:53
they were supposed to they were supposed to do a fourth one I’m I’m reading this I have a whole article pulled up now
58:59
there’s supposed to be a fourth movie but I guess it’s never gonna happen
59:11
yeah and like the books the books it was it it’s funny to think about how
59:17
like at the same time and like I guess 2010-ish 2012 whenever whenever Hunger
59:23
Games and Divergent were both like coming out yeah we just wrote a bunch of this coping King stories of like yo
59:30
everything’s awful and you’re gonna have to like you’re gonna have to fix the world yeah and then like look at what’s
59:36
happening right right like like the giver and Divergent and
59:43
Hunger Games You’re The Giver oh man
59:52
or whatever I read the book I was like oh [ __ ] so so one more everyone gets their life
59:59
chosen for them by the by The Giver right yeah that is a crazy story which yeah that was a cool idea I don’t think
1:00:06
I ever watched a movie named that though uh that’s how that’s the only reason I know about it is they I watched the
1:00:13
movie yeah yeah I read the book I don’t think I ever watched the movie and I remember in the book did they do it in the movie where everything’s black and
1:00:19
life until a certain point yeah yeah the whole their world is black and white and then yeah when you break out when the
1:00:25
little buddy breaks out he sees color color yeah yeah that was and the book I remember like what a cool idea like what
1:00:32
yeah like you’re stuck in black and white until you like activate your mind basically yeah that’s neat
1:00:41
dress that’s neat well listen listen the uh the cast of um did you watch let’s
1:00:48
let’s go back one more time and talk about reboots for a second did you watch Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide
1:01:00
so so um it’s a part of the podco network I
1:01:06
think um I think some alumni from Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have something
1:01:11
to do with it but they’re re they’re launching uh multiple Nickelodeon and Disney Channel theme podcasts like uh
1:01:18
like Wizards of Waverly Place has one with two of the people from the show
1:01:24
um uh uh what’s her name Kim Possible um
1:01:32
Carlson Romano Christy Romano she’s been podcasting now for a few years and I
1:01:37
think she’s behind all of this uh and so yeah so here’s the voice of Kim Possible
1:01:43
yeah she was yeah so Ned Ned’s Declassified they have their own podcast now but they were on uh Christy Romano’s
1:01:51
podcast over the weekend talking some [ __ ] about how Zoe 101 is getting
1:01:56
rebooted and how um Ned and his friends his name’s not Ned I think his name’s Devin Devin and
1:02:02
his friends pitched uh Ned’s Declassified like grown-up adult version of the show it’s called Ned yeah and uh
1:02:11
Nick turned him down but we’re doing Zoe 101 you know weird I I don’t remember I like watched
1:02:18
it but I like couldn’t tell you what that’s the classic question other than the book with him like this is on high
1:02:25
school but I don’t like remember any of the details of the story I know he had a crush on the girl yeah uh uh even though
1:02:32
they were friends and there was a black kid there was just friends I just I don’t really remember the story actually
1:02:37
yeah I just know the details of it because I think that was like kind of the thing with a lot of those shows they
1:02:44
were just like kind of shows like like uh even Lizzie McGuire like no we got the Lizzie McGuire Movie oh dude dude
1:02:52
and that is a story I would like to know what happened to it Megs and I watched the Lizzie McGuire
1:02:58
Movie once a year at least once a year and that that reboot got canceled didn’t
1:03:04
oh yeah it did yeah that was supposed to come out and then it got canceled because I was like
1:03:11
that’s a story where like it ends on like they kissed for the first time as Prince you know you’re like what the [ __ ] what’s happening and we don’t know
1:03:18
we don’t know what happened yeah yeah yeah that’s disappointing yeah August 2019 it was announced Lizzie McGuire
1:03:25
would be entering production for Disney plus with Hillary Duff reprising her role dude because and you know what
1:03:31
listen [ __ ] them it probably had to do with her sexy ass photo shoot for that one magazine
1:03:39
officially canceled in December 2020. doesn’t that suck that would have been great I would have
1:03:46
watched that I mean it’s Hilary Duff she’s banging I mean why not yeah I was hoping I was
1:03:53
coming back but no no we we canceled the things that people do want to see the story continued and we reboot and we
1:03:59
make stuff that no one asked for dude you know I I mean like I have a confession I never watched and I
1:04:07
probably should have because it’s like one of my top ultimate favorite shows of all time but I never watched an episode of Girl Meets
1:04:14
World I couldn’t do it oh yeah no I couldn’t okay now there’s no way I was locking
1:04:19
that or Fuller house on principle right right right no I never watched Fuller house either
1:04:27
and I’m telling you what I mean I even after even after I will say I did watch
1:04:32
some clips when they weren’t getting the ratings that they thought they would they brought all the old actors back
1:04:39
from Boy Meets World onto the show for like you know special episodes I’d watch those clips on YouTube but I mean other
1:04:45
than that like I don’t know it just doesn’t it didn’t it wasn’t for me
1:04:51
yeah no that that makes sense to me is I was the same my same brain world of just
1:04:58
like I’m not doing this I can’t watch this again I can’t be part of I don’t know this is Nostalgia please
1:05:04
are stupid dude unless there’s like a compelling reason like Lizzie McGuire kind of ends on like a cliffhanger like
1:05:09
whoa where are we going now and that’s what and that’s what they tried to do was
1:05:14
they they this isn’t the first time Zoe 101’s pop back up right like they released that little short yeah they
1:05:21
release a short like 10 years ago with one of the kids they they dug up no they
1:05:28
so what happened was there was an episode episode in Zoe 101 where Chase films
1:05:35
himself confessing his love for Zoe and puts it in the Time Capsule and like 15 years later the other kid Michael I
1:05:43
think digs it up and like interrupts Chase on a date with a bombshell not Zoe
1:05:48
and it’s like yo uh I dug it up and she put a message in there for you and I
1:05:55
watched it and I think you need to see it and it was her confessing her love for him and so then like it’s like oh my
1:06:02
God I’m 25 years old now I gotta go find Zoe and we gotta be together and then like
1:06:08
that was it and it was like Hey dude wait I think I watched it I think I watched it like like okay but like let’s
1:06:16
not like I mean cool I guess if she’s single now we can maybe like you know be
1:06:22
together but interesting to see what they’ll do with the Zoe 101 reboot I mean hey you’re interesting what they’ll
1:06:28
do is since also Jamie has been like kind of in the [ __ ] storm of like well
1:06:33
being part of uh that’s why she’s doing it because they could they probably got her at half price
1:06:40
you were on the wrong end of the story with your sister so we can pay you nothing right but you’ll get good
1:06:46
publicity from bringing this back right exactly yeah oh exactly oh yeah and she’s like
1:06:52
um 250 000 per episode uh okay I guess which you know in reality
1:07:00
is like [ __ ] He’s also a lot of money he’s also on a TV show no I keep uh what
1:07:07
is the show what is the show no she’s not a stupid show no she’s not she’s not on it are you like a reality TV are you
1:07:13

1:07:20

1:07:27

1:07:33
mistaken she is on the show she’s on the show and she did not make it through the
1:07:38
first challenge she said it was way too hard and she walked off
1:07:43
uh okay so yeah so they use her face in all the commercials but she uh got
1:07:50
