Brink!

[00:00:00] Buckle up for extreme nostalgia.

[00:00:01] This week, we're shredding into the world of Brink, the 1998

[00:00:04] DECOM where inline skaters fight for friendship against corporate

[00:00:08] greed and of course, soul skating.

[00:01:54] Now with our guests, Alon and David from the I Finally Watch podcast.

[00:01:59] Welcome guys.

[00:02:01] Yoo-hoo.

[00:02:02] Thanks for having us.

[00:02:04] Now let's get into Brink.

[00:02:05] What is this movie about?

[00:02:07] This wonderful D-com?

[00:02:08] Well, Andy Brinkbrinker is the leader of the group of inline skaters

[00:02:13] who disapprove of corporate sponsorship, believing that skating should be done

[00:02:18] for fun rather than profit.

[00:02:21] But when Brink's family starts having financial problems, he is forced to

[00:02:25] compromise his principles and join a sponsored team led by the arrogant Val.

[00:02:31] Not knowing his motivation, Brink's friends are stunned by his decision

[00:02:35] and collectively shun him until the truth comes out.

[00:02:39] The movie stars Eric Von Detten, Sam Horrigan, Christina Vidal, Robin

[00:02:45] Riker, Jeffrey Blake, and David Graff.

[00:02:49] It is directed by Greg Beeman, written by Jeff Schechter, and you can

[00:02:54] watch it currently on Disney+.

[00:02:56] But before we start, let's get into our ratings rewind.

[00:03:00] So you know the drill.

[00:03:02] Before we get into the movie, we'll reveal the rating our Y2K

[00:03:05] versions of ourselves would give.

[00:03:07] Then at the end, we'll see if our current selves agree with our initial rating.

[00:03:11] Our scale consists of would buy it, would buy it again.

[00:03:14] The best would plan repeat.

[00:03:17] Five day rental.

[00:03:18] Would watch again.

[00:03:20] Two day rental.

[00:03:21] Meh.

[00:03:23] Okay, but nothing to write home about.

[00:03:25] And same day rental.

[00:03:28] Trash.

[00:03:30] Pure garbage.

[00:03:32] Where the soul skaters live.

[00:03:36] The soul skaters or the...

[00:03:38] No, the soul skaters.

[00:03:39] Okay.

[00:03:40] Trash.

[00:03:40] Okay.

[00:03:41] Cause if I hear fucking soul skating again in my life, blow my brains out.

[00:03:48] I kept a tally of how many times they said it.

[00:03:50] I should have just, I just should have started drinking because

[00:03:53] I would have been real good.

[00:03:55] So we're going to start with you, Alon.

[00:03:57] What was your Y2K rating of Brink?

[00:04:00] Like your younger self, how did you feel about it?

[00:04:03] Dude, everyone liked Brink.

[00:04:05] I think like you watch it on the weekend, like it premiered Saturday

[00:04:08] night or something and you come to school Monday and there everyone all

[00:04:12] of a sudden is into skating and skateboarding who have never been into

[00:04:16] skating and skateboarding before.

[00:04:18] And it's just like, you know, you wear those shirts that are like

[00:04:20] short sleeve over the long sleeve.

[00:04:22] And all of a sudden Quicksilver just has a...

[00:04:25] But yeah, no, I mean, I just remember everyone just absolutely loving this

[00:04:29] movie and when you're a kid, when you're a kid, you don't realize that

[00:04:36] all those skaters are stunt doubles.

[00:04:38] So you totally buy the fact that all these teenagers are like doing

[00:04:41] flips and shit off of staircases.

[00:04:44] And then now I'm like watching it and I was like, oh, that's a man.

[00:04:47] That's not Gabrielle at all.

[00:04:49] But no, I mean, as, as a kid, I would be like, this is top tier.

[00:04:53] This is like nine out of 10.

[00:04:56] So it would be a would buy it kind of situation for you every time.

[00:05:00] Oh yeah.

[00:05:01] And David, you never saw it, right?

[00:05:06] Yeah.

[00:05:06] So I saw pieces of it cause it was my brother's, like he was big into the

[00:05:11] Disney, like my younger brother.

[00:05:13] Same with like Harry Potter as a same day rental for the Disney movie.

[00:05:17] Same day rental for me.

[00:05:20] Danielle?

[00:05:22] For me, young Danielle was all about that brink life.

[00:05:25] Okay.

[00:05:26] I was putting on those white and bright pink roller skates, fallen, but I

[00:05:34] thought I was about to do something with them.

[00:05:39] Yeah.

[00:05:39] You just, you needed a, a male stuntman to take your place for the skating.

[00:05:46] I would love it if he was white as well.

[00:05:48] Could just throw things way off and then I would land and it'd be me.

[00:05:54] What's that movie where it's, it's, it's just obviously like, Oh wow.

[00:06:00] Was it just friends or no, maybe it was like another Anna Faris movie.

[00:06:04] Which they've done it a lot.

[00:06:06] Where's like, you switch it out to like a male dancer doing break

[00:06:11] dancing or something, and then they end the pose.

[00:06:14] It was purposeful though.

[00:06:15] It was like this like small, petite white girl who gets on a motorcycle

[00:06:19] and then the stunt is performed by this Jack black guy and then with it.

[00:06:27] All right.

[00:06:27] What about you, Jackie?

[00:06:28] Surprising no one I've never seen this movie.

[00:06:33] Really?

[00:06:34] Danielle, we've had this conversation.

[00:06:36] D-coms were not it.

[00:06:41] I agree.

[00:06:42] Well, damn.

[00:06:44] Because there's no nostalgia.

[00:06:46] If you're going to have some hot takes on this one, how many times this

[00:06:50] movie is like it's for the fun of it?

[00:06:53] It's fun.

[00:06:56] I'm not having fun watching this.

[00:06:58] So when, when, when I started this movie and I'm watching it and I'm like, Oh,

[00:07:06] this is so nostalgic and I'm like, remembering a couple of things that

[00:07:10] I couldn't get out of my head is like, if this movie had a higher budget,

[00:07:13] who would be playing these characters?

[00:07:15] And I was like, Eric Von Deaton is doing his best Keanu.

[00:07:19] Yeah, he's doing his best Keanu Reeves, but then also like the dad played by

[00:07:24] David Graff, I was like, I'm sorry.

[00:07:27] It was Michael Keaton not available.

[00:07:31] And he wasn't, he was Jack Frost.

[00:07:34] You also probably told his agent, if you bring me a fucking Disney movie,

[00:07:37] I'm going to shoot you.

[00:07:39] And then he proceeded to star in Spider-Man, which unbeknownst to

[00:07:42] him maybe was the Disney movie.

[00:07:44] Yes.

[00:07:45] Yes.

[00:07:46] Okay.

[00:07:46] So for some reason there were no ratings on this particular D-com.

[00:07:51] I think some of the earlier D-coms, one thing I've noticed is that like,

[00:07:56] don't, don't get me wrong.

[00:07:58] The ratings tracking is not the same as like when we get to like

[00:08:01] Cheetah girls and all that stuff.

[00:08:03] And also there's not like a lot of fun facts.

[00:08:07] We learned from our episode with Anjali that Disney was real clamped down on

[00:08:13] what could be talked about these movies.

[00:08:16] God knows why I'm scared to even know why.

[00:08:19] But I did watch the four of them got back together during the

[00:08:23] 2020 to talk about the movie.

[00:08:26] So I thought maybe there'd be some fun facts there.

[00:08:29] Did not ascertain anything really, except that Eric Bundet is starting

[00:08:35] to bald a little bit and he's got a little swell.

[00:08:37] No more McDonald's cut.

[00:08:39] It's weird.

[00:08:40] It's like, he's got a lot of hair, but there's like something going on right here.

[00:08:45] Oh, he's thinning out.

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:47] He's thinning out.

[00:08:47] Yeah.

[00:08:48] Yeah.

[00:08:48] Yeah.

[00:08:48] Yeah.

[00:08:48] Yeah.

[00:08:49] Yeah.

[00:08:49] Yeah.

[00:08:49] Yeah.

[00:08:49] Yeah.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:51] Yeah.

[00:08:51] Yeah.

[00:08:51] Yeah.

[00:08:51] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:52] Yeah.

[00:08:53] Yeah.

[00:08:54] But the guy who plays his best friend actually looks much better now than he did

[00:08:59] when he was in the movie.

[00:09:01] Yeah.

[00:09:03] The kid from the movie.

[00:09:04] Yeah.

[00:09:04] I see that.

[00:09:05] I see that.

[00:09:07] Oh my God.

[00:09:09] Anyway, but I did find that this movie made a bunch of rankings on different lists.

[00:09:15] In 2012, Complex ranked the film at number one on the magazine's list as a top 25

[00:09:21] D-coms ever.

[00:09:24] In 2015, Dylan Kickman of Entertainment Weekly rated Brink at number four on the list of

[00:09:30] the top 30 D-coms.

[00:09:32] He wrote that along with the hilariously nostalgic lingo, Brink earns its place in

[00:09:38] the pantheon of great D-coms for mixing adrenaline, drama, and one time Disney golden boy,

[00:09:45] Eric Von Dead.

[00:09:47] Adrenaline?

[00:09:49] Question mark?

[00:09:50] Edge of the seats, Jackie.

[00:09:52] This, where are we?

[00:09:54] Where are we though?

[00:09:55] You know, the thing is though, is like when I was, when this movie was like opening,

[00:10:01] like the opening scene of this film, I was just like, wow, they didn't really give a

[00:10:06] shit about like camera work for D-coms.

[00:10:09] Cause it's just like, it's like that opening that when, when they're going to school or

[00:10:13] actually even before that, when he's just skating to meet them at the bus, it's just

[00:10:17] whatever lighting is in the sky.

[00:10:19] It's like, do they have a script?

[00:10:20] Did they like, did they give a shit?

[00:10:22] No, they didn't.

[00:10:23] They just were like, Hey, it's kind of bright outside.

[00:10:25] Let's just grab the camcorder and go.

[00:10:28] And it's just like, as far as like interesting camera angles or camera work, there is just

[00:10:34] none.

[00:10:37] Yeah, especially because it's like a quote unquote sports movie and they're doing so

[00:10:41] many tricks.

[00:10:41] So you think you're going to get something and, and, and really don't, you don't get

[00:10:46] a lot.

[00:10:47] All the kids did know how to skate.

[00:10:51] I don't think any of them had to audition skating except for Christina Vidal, but it

[00:10:57] seemed that Sam Horrigan who plays Val, he actually was probably the most skilled skater,

[00:11:05] but they did not really let all of them do their stunts at all.

[00:11:09] Even if they knew how to, they switched them out.

[00:11:12] I could tell like them going from like point A to point B, it was them.

[00:11:17] But then like jumping off the staircase and doing like the ramp stuff was obviously not

[00:11:22] them.

[00:11:23] And rollerblading was so big back then.

[00:11:27] Like if you look at this movie, if you think of the mighty ducks movie and even the power

[00:11:32] Rangers movie, there's a scene of them rollerblading for some reason.

[00:11:37] It does.

[00:11:38] It's awesome.

[00:11:39] Cause it's awesome.

[00:11:40] Well, Walter Emanuel Jones already knew how to rollerblade because he did the opening

[00:11:46] scene of power Rangers movie.

[00:11:48] Yep.

[00:11:48] I was just going to say that.

[00:11:49] He wasn't in this.

[00:11:50] He wasn't in that movie.

[00:11:51] Was he not in that movie?

[00:11:53] No, the producers of that movie screwed him over and he wasn't in it.

[00:11:58] It's really fucked up.

[00:12:00] He was also time to shine.

[00:12:02] Yeah.

[00:12:03] He's also 12 years older than everyone else in that cast.

[00:12:06] I, I don't under look, I get it.

[00:12:09] As a black actor, especially if you can get the role, you're going to do what you got

[00:12:13] to do.

[00:12:14] Right.

[00:12:15] He was just trying to make it, but I want to know who the fuck in the hair department

[00:12:21] Yes.

[00:12:22] Thank you.

[00:12:22] Of that man's lineup.

[00:12:24] Because I, I know it wasn't him.

[00:12:26] I know it wasn't him.

[00:12:28] I know he went to work and he expected that the damn person doing his hair was going to

[00:12:37] know how I it's bad.

[00:12:40] It's fixed toward the end of the movie, but somebody fucked him up real bad.

[00:12:46] And I know it wasn't like he chose to go somewhere and do that to himself.

[00:12:49] No black man would do that.

[00:12:51] None.

[00:12:52] There was a, there was like a reel on Instagram making fun of his hairline and during David,

[00:12:58] you, you've seen this.

[00:13:00] Yeah.

[00:13:00] That's why I'm like, I kind of knew a lot about the movie because like I had seen a

[00:13:04] couple, one where he just pops up and he's got, it's just basically like a fucking perfect

[00:13:09] half circle on his hair, which is not how that's supposed to look.

[00:13:13] And then there was another one that was just explaining the whole plot of this movie badly.

[00:13:19] But not doing it justice.

[00:13:21] It was as if someone took a small plate and then took.

[00:13:27] Yeah.

[00:13:28] What?

[00:13:30] In like steel magnolias, they give you like the plastic thing to hold over your face while

[00:13:36] they hairspray you.

[00:13:37] Like they just use that to like.

[00:13:38] Well, it looks, it also may.

[00:13:41] I thought at first I was like, is he just that old where his hairline's receding?

[00:13:46] And they're like, we can't have that.

[00:13:47] So we have to like basically make up your hairline in and they fucked it.

[00:13:52] But I don't know.

[00:13:53] He had a perfectly good hairline at that point.

[00:13:56] I don't know what they were doing.

[00:13:59] It's like the opposite of a bowl cut.

[00:14:01] They might have just put a bowl in his face and just cut around it.

[00:14:06] Yeah, they did that man dirty.

[00:14:08] Dirty.

[00:14:08] So dirty.

[00:14:10] But yeah, the movie starts off with Eric Von Detten very happy.

[00:14:16] Go lucky in his household.

[00:14:19] And can we talk about the dad just being the absolute most negative Nancy I've ever seen?

[00:14:26] Ever for like he he is putting down his own fucking kid.

[00:14:32] Papa, I know your back's fucked up, but get off my job.

[00:14:36] He's honestly kind of like the worst dad he is.

[00:14:41] That's his arc.

[00:14:42] He becomes he becomes a really good dad.

[00:14:44] It's just he's in pain.

[00:14:46] Well, and not in his back in here.

[00:14:50] And then we have to like he comes down ready for the first day of school.

[00:14:59] No, they're going to the pit to practice.

[00:15:03] His hair has not been washed in like two weeks.

[00:15:06] Yes, you talked about this in our Princess Diaries episode.

[00:15:10] I can't.

[00:15:10] The greasiness of Eric Von Detten's hair very much bothers Jackie.

[00:15:15] It does.

[00:15:19] The shower yesterday.

[00:15:20] I don't I go a few days without washing my hair, but like, dude, wash it.

[00:15:25] Sometimes you're on TV.

[00:15:28] Just look at the picture behind you.

[00:15:30] Yeah, like what is that?

[00:15:33] It was the style and it made all the girlies very excited.

[00:15:37] They love them.

[00:15:37] Some air.

[00:15:38] It was it was it was freshly showered.

[00:15:41] He just took a clump of baby oil and just put it through his hair.

[00:15:44] It was gaslighting us into thinking that boys like this were cute and attractive,

[00:15:52] and it was endearing that they did not bathe.

[00:15:56] Never was that I was never gaslit.

[00:16:00] Bathing is essential.

[00:16:03] So yeah, we get a like a glimpse of Brink, his family life.

[00:16:09] You see his mom and his dad.

[00:16:10] We learned that the dad has her injured himself.

[00:16:13] He works in construction and he is slowly healing and getting better.

[00:16:17] The mom is a real estate agent, and he has a little sister named Katie,

[00:16:20] who is the very obnoxious sister in the smart house as well.

[00:16:26] I thought so.

[00:16:27] Yeah.

[00:16:28] And again, you know, I don't think so.

[00:16:32] I don't think that age will find out.

[00:16:36] I looked it up for you, buddy.

[00:16:37] I could tell you right now.

[00:16:40] You know, one thing I wanted to mention before we move past this is

[00:16:43] movie starts out with the trope of a kid being too busy to eat a breakfast.

[00:16:47] So he takes a slice of toast, takes one bite from it and sets it down.

[00:16:50] It's like I'm good for the whole fucking day.

[00:16:53] I'll survive on this bite of bread.

[00:16:55] He also eats chocolate sauce straight in his mouth.

[00:16:58] I'm like there was not even like a milk pour to make.

[00:17:01] Yes, there he did.

[00:17:03] He got milk from I was from the oh, he mixed it in his mouth.

[00:17:08] He like milk and chocolate sauce and swish.

[00:17:11] Yeah, class.

[00:17:12] The first is a choice that is a choice.

[00:17:14] You get a sauce first because then the milk hits it and spreads it around.

[00:17:19] Yeah, you tell him, David.

[00:17:20] Yeah.

[00:17:21] Yeah.

[00:17:22] So he's late.

[00:17:24] He busts out because he missed the bus.

[00:17:27] And it's the weekend.

[00:17:28] His friends are pissed because it takes a while for the bus to come.

[00:17:32] And they're going to Venice Beach where the pit actually is in real life to go skate

[00:17:38] because skate is life.

[00:17:40] I've been to the Venice Beach pit.

[00:17:43] Oh, you have?

[00:17:43] And I can tell you that.

[00:17:46] Yeah, I can tell you that no one just stands around clapping at like a couple of rollerbladers.

[00:17:57] I can't nail a 540.

[00:17:59] I can't nail a 540.

[00:18:02] I mean, who can't nail a 540 fucking losers?

[00:18:05] And when they get there, we be Beyblades.

[00:18:15] Yeah, they just start calling them Beyblades.

[00:18:20] What are they called?

[00:18:21] X-Blades.

[00:18:22] X-Blades.

[00:18:23] X-Blades, give it to you.

[00:18:25] But they see the inline magazine guy and they're like, oh, he must be here for us.

[00:18:34] Nobody's who can't even nail a 540.

[00:18:37] And then but David, didn't that plot point remind you of Grind?

[00:18:43] This movie is not.

[00:18:45] It doesn't deserve to hold the jockstrap.

[00:18:48] It doesn't deserve to hold the broken skates of a movie.

[00:18:53] Grant, you know, one thing too is I like so I've watched skateboarding movies and I watched

[00:18:56] some skateboarding like events like as a kid.

[00:18:59] I don't know how impressive like a 540 is in roller skates because it seems like it's

[00:19:03] easier to twist in roller skates because you don't have to worry about the board separating.

[00:19:08] The wheels are attached to you.

[00:19:09] Yeah.

[00:19:10] Yeah.

[00:19:10] Oh, yeah.

[00:19:10] Thank you.

[00:19:11] That's what I was saying.

[00:19:14] The fact that some like what?

[00:19:16] I don't know how old these kids are.

[00:19:18] I guess 16 or 17.

[00:19:19] Like the fact that well, I think I was looking up Christina Vidal was like 17 when she filmed

[00:19:24] this, so she's supposed to be the age of it.

[00:19:26] But also, I guess the most famous roller skater in the world is a high school kid in

[00:19:32] California.

[00:19:33] Like he's the best ever.

[00:19:36] I think so.

[00:19:37] I have points to make once we get to the championship.

[00:19:41] I do want to did anyone notice that the inline skater magazine guy literally had a hat and

[00:19:50] it said inline skate space.

[00:19:52] Man.

[00:19:58] Did you also notice that they recognized what his hat said in like, so his hat was gray.

[00:20:04] The font was black and they could read it from like 50 yards away.

[00:20:10] They were like, Whoa, that guy's has his inline skating.

[00:20:17] And then as they're distracted by this, the Beyblades come in.

[00:20:22] I'm gonna call it that for the rest of this episode.

[00:20:25] They come in and swoop in and take their spot in the pit.

[00:20:29] And this is when we meet Val who I have to say Sam Horrigan is so good at being an asshole

[00:20:35] that I wonder if this is his life.

[00:20:40] Because when you mentioned that he looks good as an adult, I looked it up and he always

[00:20:46] has that like smirk.

[00:20:49] No, no, not Sam Horrigan.

[00:20:50] Oh, I thought you meant Sam Horrigan.

[00:20:52] No, I meant the best friend of Brink who also yes, who I just I just said he said he looks

[00:20:59] way better.

[00:21:00] Okay, as an adult, like, like if you were to take Eric and Peter, right, and then you

[00:21:05] put them side by side and you would be like, guess which one turns out to be the the hot

[00:21:09] hotter one in their adult life.

[00:21:11] You wouldn't necessarily pick Peter, but it would be Peter.

[00:21:13] It is Peter 100%.

[00:21:16] And I, I do love like, I remember loving this movie so much and then being hella excited

[00:21:22] when the So Weird TV show came out because they were both on it together.

[00:21:26] Oh my god, they were from Brink.

[00:21:28] That's very exciting.

[00:21:31] I love So Weird so much.

[00:21:33] It's a good show.

[00:21:34] Would you rather had though?

[00:21:37] Would you rather be Eric Von Detten where you're like really hot as like a teen mid

[00:21:42] 20s and like, all the girls remember you as Brink?

[00:21:46] Or do you want to like grow up into the Peter character who happens like, you're just a

[00:21:50] sidekick like the fun as a 20 year old.

[00:21:54] I want to grow up and be Peter because there's nothing worse than a bunch of girls thinking

[00:22:01] you're fucking hot when you're young and then still holding that in their hearts.

[00:22:06] And then seeing you as an adult and be like, oh,

[00:22:09] there's, there's a glow up is always better than them like crashing and burning.

[00:22:16] Like, I guess I'm talking about the journey though.

[00:22:19] No, nobody cares about the journey.

[00:22:22] The globe is like, damn.

[00:22:24] David is just wondering how much Putin he would have gotten if you look like Eric.

[00:22:29] He was that age.

[00:22:30] That's, that's what I'm not wondering.

[00:22:32] I'm surmising it was

[00:22:33] a lot.

[00:22:35] I just also think like, wouldn't it be better to be hotter when you're older?

[00:22:39] Because like nobody knew what they were doing with their parts back then.

[00:22:43] Like you weren't even enjoying it.

[00:22:45] Like I'm just saying.

[00:22:49] I could see that too.

[00:22:50] I could be like, you know, you're much more like knowledgeable and refined as an adult.

[00:22:56] And then it's like, yeah.

[00:22:59] Well, Peter, the guy who plays Peter has four kids now.

[00:23:03] He's getting it.

[00:23:06] I think Eric, Erica, it looks like has a kid and a wife too.

[00:23:09] So he settled down from his days.

[00:23:12] He has one kid.

[00:23:15] I'm sure they've had sex more than once.

[00:23:19] I don't think the amount of children equals the amount of time you've done it.

[00:23:24] I'm just saying.

[00:23:28] Because then that would mean David has had more sex than me and we know that's not true.

[00:23:33] So David's the number one stunner over there having another baby.

[00:23:40] If you do it, you don't have to talk about it.

[00:23:42] You know what I'm saying?

[00:23:42] A lot of makeup stuff.

[00:23:47] Dead.

[00:23:48] I'm dead.

[00:23:48] Okay.

[00:23:50] Anywho, Brink is getting back at Val in the Beyblades by going up to the skateboarding

[00:23:58] crew and like shit talking.

[00:23:59] But like, this is what this guy is saying about you.

[00:24:03] Like, I just don't see skateboarders being that like giving a shit stone to do anything.

[00:24:11] I really hope we were going to get a cameo from like Tony Hawk.

[00:24:17] Some of those dudes, though, like look down there, 30 that they went to go talk to him.

[00:24:22] Like, why would these 30 year olds go try to beat up a bunch of kids?

[00:24:27] It's a fucking loser.

[00:24:28] 30 year olds who sit around his skate park.

[00:24:30] That's why they're like, fuck it.

[00:24:32] Let's just beat up some 12 year olds.

[00:24:34] It's not only that.

[00:24:35] It's not only that.

[00:24:36] I was wondering, like the audacity of going up to a bunch of like teenagers threatening

[00:24:40] to beat them up on the on the fact that just some other teenager said that they said some

[00:24:45] shit.

[00:24:46] Yeah, but not only that, but they're getting their photos taken with an adult with their

[00:24:50] adult coach or sponsor or whatever he is.

[00:24:53] And I'm like, you're going to get like immediately stopped.

[00:24:56] Like, I don't even see the point of this.

[00:24:59] And what they said words to you like they're just they whatever.

[00:25:03] And he yoked them up real quick.

[00:25:04] But also, like, it's quite evident that the guys that, you know, the soul skaters set

[00:25:10] them up because they're over there laughing right there.

[00:25:15] It's real dumb, real dumb.

[00:25:17] But they got even and then we get to school.

[00:25:21] And now this is where I kind of feel like things are a little weird because it's just

[00:25:25] like, when they get to school, they start with the guys again, even though they got

[00:25:32] even did the day before.

[00:25:33] So it's like, okay, now you're not getting bullied.

[00:25:36] You're just starting shit back and forth with these guys.

[00:25:39] That reminds me, Ilana, I still owe you.

[00:25:41] David, we were walking down whatever a path the other day, and he like kicks me in the

[00:25:46] back of the ankle.

[00:25:48] And I kind of and I kind of trip.

[00:25:49] So to get back at him without looking because I just need you to be my fucking knee.

[00:25:54] So, yeah, we're not even.

[00:25:57] And then he's been like scaring me all all the all the while being like, I'm going to

[00:26:02] get you and I just never know when it's coming.

[00:26:04] But David, you started it.

[00:26:06] No, mine was a jokey, just lightly.

[00:26:10] I don't start.

[00:26:11] No shit won't be no shit.

[00:26:14] And I'm continuing the shit.

[00:26:15] It ain't over.

[00:26:17] I mean, I'll probably forget about it, honestly.

[00:26:19] But it's going to end in one of us fucking murdering each other.

[00:26:24] The fun of it and what Ilana should have realized the fun of it is the having the power of being

[00:26:30] the one who owes the other.

[00:26:32] And he should have held up.

[00:26:33] He didn't hold on to it long enough.

[00:26:35] It's like the smack on how I met your mother.

[00:26:38] Exactly.

[00:26:39] Exactly.

[00:26:40] Towards the end, he was like, just can you please just do it?

[00:26:42] I don't like the anticipation of it all.

[00:26:47] Let's hear a word from our pod pals.

[00:26:54] If you grew up on Disney shows, music, websites and e-coms, the time machine is ready for

[00:26:59] you to take a journey back to those golden days.

[00:27:01] Join us as we talk the golden age of Disney Channel, the stars introduced and more.

[00:27:06] If it aired at eight, seven central, it's fair game, baby.

[00:27:11] We see Val throws someone's shoes on the power line.

[00:27:16] It's Peter's shoes.

[00:27:18] Peter and but Gabriela, she her mom forces her.

[00:27:23] Gabriela is from Peru, which is said multiple times.

[00:27:28] And go back to Mexico.

[00:27:30] Yeah, real fucked up shit.

[00:27:32] Val racist ass motherfucking Val.

[00:27:36] That's that's a Disney problem, though.

[00:27:38] That's like the fact that they were like, this is a good line.

[00:27:40] Let's put in this kids movie.

[00:27:43] Now we have a bunch of adults telling people to go back to Mexico and wondering where it

[00:27:47] came from.

[00:27:48] Right.

[00:27:48] It came.

[00:27:49] Bring is the cause of this.

[00:27:50] Brain.

[00:27:51] Yeah.

[00:27:52] Oh, so Gabriela's mom made her wear a dress to school.

[00:27:56] So Gabriela has her converse that she gives to Peter to wear and then to get back.

[00:28:04] I had Val.

[00:28:07] They literally take all of the earthworms from science class and shove them on a sandwich

[00:28:13] like Val wouldn't notice.

[00:28:15] It's probably the most iconic scene of the entire movie.

[00:28:19] Yeah.

[00:28:20] Oh, well, you know what?

[00:28:21] Then then they they didn't just start with Val.

[00:28:24] Val, I forgot about the shoes thing.

[00:28:26] So they were just getting even.

[00:28:28] OK, yeah, and valid.

[00:28:29] Totally.

[00:28:30] OK.

[00:28:31] Did you guys think that they were setting up Gabriela having a thing for Peter?

[00:28:36] Yeah.

[00:28:37] And in my mind, I remember them having a thing.

[00:28:40] And then I was like, oh, I don't know.

[00:28:43] But it also could be just the fact that we're trained to every time we see these kind of

[00:28:47] movies, if there's a girl that there has to be some sort of relationship.

[00:28:50] And I kind of like that they didn't have a relationship.

[00:28:54] They were just a bunch of kids having fun.

[00:28:55] And that was it.

[00:28:57] Yeah.

[00:28:58] And then to get even to prove who's dominant.

[00:29:03] I don't know.

[00:29:04] Wait, you're skipping a very important part.

[00:29:07] What did we see?

[00:29:08] Which is this random ass fucking teacher who comes out of nowhere.

[00:29:12] Like he doesn't.

[00:29:13] Yeah.

[00:29:14] OK, she doesn't even come when he's charging at them.

[00:29:18] He just gets up and it's like, what the fuck?

[00:29:20] He spits in the trash.

[00:29:21] You got a problem?

[00:29:22] Like she is so in his face and like and also like she doesn't give a shit.

[00:29:30] It was very interesting.

[00:29:32] Yeah, I got a problem.

[00:29:34] They just gave me a worm sandwich that I ate.

[00:29:38] Get over it.

[00:29:39] Yeah, get over it.

[00:29:43] She's on team soul skate skater.

[00:29:48] All the adults in this movie, with the exception of the mom,

[00:29:51] are very like sad and depressed.

[00:29:56] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:29:59] The also what's like, what do you call it?

[00:30:01] A Y2K version of yourself remembering you watching this film for me.

[00:30:06] I remember like the worms.

[00:30:09] Like obviously it's real earthworms when it's in the science lab.

[00:30:12] Yeah.

[00:30:12] And then I think even when they put it on the sandwich, it looks pretty believable.

[00:30:16] Right.

[00:30:16] I remember so vividly that when he bites into it, it looks so real.

[00:30:21] And now him doing it.

[00:30:23] I'm like, those are gummy worms.

[00:30:24] That's so obvious.

[00:30:28] It makes like a crunch noise to which grosses me out.

[00:30:32] Because it's the dirt that's left over in there.

[00:30:36] So, yes, Jackie, like you were saying, to really

[00:30:40] get even and say who's the real man they decide to skate at school.

[00:30:46] This course is elaborate.

[00:30:49] They move picnic tables.

[00:30:51] They gather all of the trash cans.

[00:30:54] And it's like the entire school is outside in the breezeway

[00:31:00] watching this relay race happen.

[00:31:02] Where are the fucking teachers?

[00:31:03] All the teachers are in class are like, where the fuck is my students?

[00:31:08] I would like to see a real world map.

[00:31:12] Yes, a map of the school.

[00:31:14] Yeah.

[00:31:14] Like how they set this up.

[00:31:16] The teachers are actually saying, hmm, I get a few more minutes of quiet.

[00:31:20] I'm not going to like, I don't fucking care.

[00:31:23] Don't pay me enough.

[00:31:25] But yeah, they do this relay race and it starts with Gabby.

[00:31:29] I do love that she turns to the guy and says, you're real quiet.

[00:31:33] I like the quiet type or whatever.

[00:31:36] And this kid has the biggest grin on his face and she's like, eat my dust, bitch.

[00:31:42] I loved it.

[00:31:43] I ate it up.

[00:31:44] The Letty of soul skating.

[00:31:46] No, I was like, did Letty from Fast and the Furious steal her like entire vibe from Gabby?

[00:31:52] Like, yeah, Gabby walks so Letty can run.

[00:31:56] 100%.

[00:31:57] Yeah, I remember like being like having a real big crush on her

[00:32:02] watching this when I was like 12 years old.

[00:32:04] I was like, Cristina Vidal was that bitch.

[00:32:06] She still is.

[00:32:08] She's 36 and I just developed a new one.

[00:32:10] So on the adult version of yeah, right.

[00:32:16] I looked at pictures of her.

[00:32:17] Yes, she's on a new show called Primo on freebie.

[00:32:21] And I love her on that too.

[00:32:24] We did a tribute video or something for her and she commented on Instagram.

[00:32:30] And I thought I was going to die.

[00:32:31] Every once in a while we get a celebrity like that reshares or comments and we're like, this is it.

[00:32:38] This is life.

[00:32:40] This is I've peaked.

[00:32:42] So yeah, now they have this obstacle course they're racing and soul skaters are in the lead.

[00:32:49] And then the Black Power Ranger falls.

[00:32:52] Boomer hurts himself and then Brink was like, Oh my god, dude, it's a cramp.

[00:32:58] I know this life.

[00:32:59] I know this life.

[00:33:00] Like, no, he's like, I'm going to help you.

[00:33:04] And Boomer's like, what are you doing, man?

[00:33:06] You're gonna lose, man.

[00:33:07] What are you doing?

[00:33:08] And because you know, Val is out that bitch.

[00:33:10] He don't give a shit about nobody.

[00:33:11] And then they the way that Brink is like, you go to the school nurse and get iced.

[00:33:17] That like, is not that serious.

[00:33:21] I like the hard cut and he's in his dad's car and his dad's like, wow, wow, it's a real new record,

[00:33:27] like four hours into the school year and you're already expelled or suspended.

[00:33:32] He's like, it's just for one day.

[00:33:35] I don't understand the stakes of this race.

[00:33:38] Like the movie wanted to set up a race but couldn't come up with a really good idea of

[00:33:42] what the race is about.

[00:33:43] And so the stakes are.

[00:33:45] You own the worms.

[00:33:48] What?

[00:33:50] You own the worms of the science lab now.

[00:33:52] Those are yours now.

[00:33:53] The stakes were either we're going to keep fucking with you if we win

[00:33:58] or we'll leave you alone if we lose.

[00:33:59] And I was just like, but you haven't even been messing with them that much.

[00:34:03] Like, like, right.

[00:34:04] Just all back and forth.

[00:34:05] Yeah.

[00:34:06] Like, I don't even understand.

[00:34:07] It's just like we need a race.

[00:34:09] Don't think too hard on it, David is gonna hurt your brain.

[00:34:12] It hurts my.

[00:34:13] I like how he introduced the race idea to like Val.

[00:34:16] He just like flipped over a trash can and Brink is like.

[00:34:20] Nice trash can.

[00:34:24] I don't know what you're doing with that, but it's a nice, it's a nice trash can.

[00:34:28] So yeah, Brink gets in trouble and the next day they're back at school and they're

[00:34:32] or they're back together and they're talking about like how their parents reacted.

[00:34:36] And obviously Gabriela's mom was like yelling at her.

[00:34:41] Yeah.

[00:34:41] Peter's dad.

[00:34:42] Well, we learned that Peter, the way Peter talks about and I'm assuming it's his stepdad.

[00:34:48] Is super fucking weird.

[00:34:50] Yeah.

[00:34:51] It's alluding to abuse.

[00:34:54] Yes.

[00:34:55] But then later on when he's on the phone, it's like I thought his stepdad was going

[00:34:59] to come in and beat his ass because he's like, I'm on the phone.

[00:35:02] I was like, dude, don't talk to Jerry like that.

[00:35:05] He didn't even say that.

[00:35:06] He was like, you can use it after I'm done.

[00:35:09] It was like, do you pay the bills?

[00:35:11] Motherfucker, what's going on?

[00:35:13] Jerry has to use the goddamn phone.

[00:35:18] He's probably used the internet.

[00:35:19] He needs him off so he can download porn.

[00:35:23] And I don't even know what the other friend's name is.

[00:35:25] What's his name?

[00:35:26] Jordy.

[00:35:26] Jordy.

[00:35:27] Jordy.

[00:35:28] Yeah.

[00:35:28] Jordy said his parents just stared.

[00:35:31] Yeah.

[00:35:32] Well, and bring because he gets the majority of it from his dad in the car on the way home.

[00:35:37] His conversation with his parents really doesn't happen, but he overhears

[00:35:43] them talking about their money issues.

[00:35:45] Yeah.

[00:35:46] And so now he's concerned that his family doesn't have enough money to pay the bills

[00:35:50] and things like that.

[00:35:52] The car overheats on the way home.

[00:35:54] So that's another bill that they have to pay.

[00:35:56] I remember when Disney, you're in poverty in a Disney D-com when you own like a four

[00:36:06] bedroom, three bath house in a suburban California neighborhood, California neighborhood, like

[00:36:11] a couple of miles from Venice beach and you got a backyard and maybe a pool.

[00:36:16] And yeah.

[00:36:17] And no, no, no.

[00:36:18] We're falling on hard times.

[00:36:21] I looked at that dinner table.

[00:36:23] That dinner table was full with real like the outside of the grocery store, not the

[00:36:31] aisle food, but like fresh food was on that table.

[00:36:36] How did the dad get injured as a construction manager?

[00:36:40] He fell off.

[00:36:41] They said he fell off of a beam.

[00:36:43] Yeah.

[00:36:44] Like what was he doing up there?

[00:36:46] He was inspecting.

[00:36:47] He was bossing people around.

[00:36:49] Oh, that hammer.

[00:36:50] I like, I like how they gave his family like a two household income.

[00:36:54] And then she's like, OK, so what does she do?

[00:36:56] Oh, she's a real estate agent.

[00:36:58] And he's like, did you show horrible at her job?

[00:37:01] Yeah, it's not horrible.

[00:37:02] It just takes like you're not going to sell a house every day, but he's like, no, I know

[00:37:07] that. But what's so funny is she's like, I didn't show any today, but tomorrow seems

[00:37:12] promising.

[00:37:12] I don't know.

[00:37:13] He was just an asshole about it.

[00:37:15] Like, don't do that to me.

[00:37:19] But maybe maybe she should switch to something a little bit more substantial, you know, though.

[00:37:24] Maybe it's like she's in this like it's California, right?

[00:37:26] Like you get like three, six percent commission.

[00:37:30] She sells the right home.

[00:37:31] They're set for like the year, you know, that's true.

[00:37:34] So they both have very not consistent jobs like not.

[00:37:40] I don't want to say not consistent because obviously there's a lot of construction manager

[00:37:44] could be consistent.

[00:37:46] Yeah, but it's also so yeah.

[00:37:50] Oh boy.

[00:37:51] Anywho, you find out that Boomer is out of the invitational.

[00:37:56] And so the Beyblades are looking for a replacement for him.

[00:38:01] But soul skaters skate for fun.

[00:38:05] They don't skate for endorsements.

[00:38:09] Fucking idiots.

[00:38:11] I think the Olympic team literally listens to Brinks motivational talks about having

[00:38:18] fun and being soul skater, what it means to be a soul skater.

[00:38:21] I think for real that they listen to that.

[00:38:23] That motivates them.

[00:38:24] We don't need money.

[00:38:27] Money.

[00:38:28] Why?

[00:38:28] Why would we need money?

[00:38:30] It's funny because it's like the same storyline as the Mighty Ducks, but reverse where they're

[00:38:35] like, oh, we need to get sponsored by the by the law firm to continue this.

[00:38:40] And so they so that's a movie that like tree sponsorship is like a good thing.

[00:38:45] But then this movie is like, oh, it's the devil.

[00:38:47] I just find that capitalism against capitalism.

[00:38:50] Yeah, exactly.

[00:38:52] What I find funny about this part right here is apparently Val has this whole scheme to

[00:38:58] get Brink to be on the team by going up to him and telling him you're not allowed on

[00:39:02] the team.

[00:39:03] And then when he shows up anyway, be like, no, I told you, you can't.

[00:39:08] And like, and he's like, fine, leave.

[00:39:11] Okay, 30 seconds.

[00:39:13] I think Val secretly wanted Brink to be his best friend.

[00:39:18] And he was I think he loved Brink.

[00:39:20] Yeah, I think he was very jealous that Brink and his talent wanted to be this like low life

[00:39:28] soul skater with these losers.

[00:39:29] And instead of being he's a Draco Malfoy before Draco Malfoy, because we all know that Draco

[00:39:36] really wanted Harry to be his friend.

[00:39:39] They have chemistry or not chemistry.

[00:39:42] Well, maybe but they have like a like a history, right?

[00:39:44] Like they knew each other before the beginning of this movie.

[00:39:48] And imagine like a hard cut in the middle of this movie, where it's just a flashback of

[00:39:52] them as like middle schoolers thing like you want to skate with me and it's like Brink's

[00:39:56] like no.

[00:39:57] And then on Val is like, you're my mortal enemy.

[00:40:03] He just trains every day.

[00:40:07] Better than Brink it.

[00:40:10] Be honest is the 30 seconds that they gave Brink I could not tell how good he was compared

[00:40:15] to everyone else that was previous.

[00:40:17] I was like, I don't see the talent there.

[00:40:19] You didn't see the soul skating in action.

[00:40:21] He was so much higher.

[00:40:23] He was doing shit that no one could do.

[00:40:25] Like a 540.

[00:40:26] I knew it.

[00:40:27] Damn it.

[00:40:27] Yes.

[00:40:28] Well, he gets on the team.

[00:40:31] He makes it.

[00:40:32] So yeah, he secretly goes.

[00:40:34] He tells his friends that he has to leave early from their practice, goes, tries out,

[00:40:40] gets on the Beyblade.

[00:40:41] So now he's doing this thing where he's like he's on the Beyblades to earn money, but then

[00:40:47] he's also like keeping it a secret from his friends, so showing up to their practices.

[00:40:52] And then the Beyblades coach is like, you have to tell your parents.

[00:40:56] So he goes home and tells his dad like, hey, I found a way to make money after school.

[00:41:01] His dad's on skating real hard.

[00:41:03] So it's not even like he's saying, I don't want you to work at all.

[00:41:07] You're too young.

[00:41:08] I don't want you to have this responsibility.

[00:41:10] I want you to focus on school.

[00:41:11] But his only like caveat is like it can't be skating.

[00:41:17] Yeah.

[00:41:17] Two hundred dollars a week in 98 for a kid.

[00:41:22] Yeah.

[00:41:23] And then he and then he goes to work.

[00:41:25] If you look at his day where they show us his entire day, he worked for 90 minutes.

[00:41:29] So what did he make?

[00:41:30] Ten bucks.

[00:41:31] Yeah.

[00:41:32] And then the other thing is, play is good.

[00:41:36] OK, the dad also told him you can skate as much as you want.

[00:41:40] You just can't get paid for it.

[00:41:42] He never told him to stop skating at all.

[00:41:44] He's like, you know, I don't want you to get paid for it.

[00:41:46] I needed a little bit more of some something.

[00:41:51] Like, remember you broke your leg and went through all this physical therapy.

[00:41:57] Like we don't want you skating at all.

[00:41:59] Right.

[00:41:59] Something.

[00:42:01] But it wasn't that it was you can't be paid.

[00:42:03] I thought it was going to come to a reveal where the dad used to skate

[00:42:08] and he was like hexed by it.

[00:42:09] But that never came either.

[00:42:11] Or the company was like a company that treated him like there's just no fucking real reason.

[00:42:17] So he's out here.

[00:42:18] It's showing him going to his three jobs and school and practice with the.

[00:42:27] It makes no sense like to do that.

[00:42:30] It shows him waking up at seven in the morning.

[00:42:32] And I was like, physically to do that, you would have to get up at like

[00:42:36] four o'clock in the morning to fit all that in.

[00:42:39] Yeah.

[00:42:39] Yeah.

[00:42:39] And then at night, he's still doing homework.

[00:42:42] And then I like how it showed literally one day of him doing that and then immediately sick.

[00:42:47] But not really sick, but immediately sick.

[00:42:49] Well, because he agreed to be on the Beyblades only until Boomer recovered and could return.

[00:42:56] And so he just has to get to the invitational.

[00:43:00] So now it's the day of the invitationals.

[00:43:04] Peter goes to check on him.

[00:43:06] Brink is pretending like he's sick so that doesn't have to go to practice with the soul skaters.

[00:43:12] And as soon as Peter leaves, he hops out of bed, goes to the invitational.

[00:43:17] When he tells him not to go to the invitational.

[00:43:19] Yeah.

[00:43:19] Like he's gaslighting Peter.

[00:43:22] Red flag.

[00:43:24] I don't know why he didn't just tell his friends.

[00:43:27] Like, I don't think it would have been a big deal to say like,

[00:43:29] hey, my parents are financially strapped.

[00:43:31] Yeah.

[00:43:31] I hate these evil corporate people, but I don't see another solution to help me make

[00:43:36] some money and help my family.

[00:43:38] They would have totally understood.

[00:43:40] Unless they wouldn't.

[00:43:42] Where he tried to tell them, but then Jerry got involved.

[00:43:47] Right.

[00:43:48] And then also when he tells Gabby, she's like, we're all poor.

[00:43:52] We all need money.

[00:43:53] But I do think they wouldn't have been as mad at him.

[00:43:58] Well, he should have told Gabby, get better.

[00:44:01] And maybe you could have been on that Beyblades.

[00:44:04] Well, she couldn't have because she's, you know, a woman, a person of color.

[00:44:10] And so they were not, you know, I mean, there's some there's some

[00:44:13] undertones from Val about who he'll allow on that team.

[00:44:16] Very true.

[00:44:17] This is true.

[00:44:18] One thing I want to say that it's a little bit back, but it also relates to what we're

[00:44:21] about to do.

[00:44:22] So they win.

[00:44:23] And then the big boss guy is he Arnie?

[00:44:25] I can't fucking remember his name, who the leader of the X forces.

[00:44:31] It's where the fuck did that come from?

[00:44:34] I think he forces the name of the team that loses when the dude gets a concussion at the end.

[00:44:40] Oh, yes.

[00:44:40] His name, Jeff Blake.

[00:44:42] Jimmy, is that the man?

[00:44:44] It might be him.

[00:44:45] I think G force is a hamster movie.

[00:44:48] It is.

[00:44:49] OK, holy shit.

[00:44:50] What is wrong with you?

[00:44:52] And so when they win the invitational, he gives Brink $200 like, hey, I take care of people

[00:44:58] when they win.

[00:44:58] I was like, bro, that was part of the deal when he signed up that when you win, you get

[00:45:03] $200.

[00:45:04] But also he comes up to them when Brink is going to sign up.

[00:45:07] He's like, I made $10 million in merchandise last year.

[00:45:12] And that's when I started to do some math and realize that he pays these kids a combined

[00:45:17] 43 to $50,000 a year and then off of 10 million.

[00:45:23] He makes $10 million, maybe even just gross in sales off of these kids.

[00:45:29] And fucking like worse than Willy Wonka.

[00:45:32] How is he making that much money off of just this random?

[00:45:38] They're not random.

[00:45:39] They're the best skaters in the world.

[00:45:42] That's what it says at the end of the movie that these are the best.

[00:45:45] Are these fucking high school kids that all have really same school?

[00:45:50] You know, though, if if these bunch of high school kids are the best skaters in the world,

[00:45:54] and that's what this movie is saying, it really dumbs down the skating people like out there

[00:46:00] being like, yeah, damn, just other countries haven't gotten to it yet.

[00:46:05] Just this rollerblading thing.

[00:46:07] Once we allow them to, it's pretty much we're screwed.

[00:46:10] I mean, but it's not wrong.

[00:46:11] And it's actually talked about a lot, especially in the skateboarding community.

[00:46:15] Like, they're still there even to this day trying to figure out like, should we cut off an age?

[00:46:22] Can you be pro at such a young age?

[00:46:25] Because these kids are starting younger and younger now.

[00:46:27] And they're just like outperforming the adults and tricks and abilities at this point.

[00:46:33] They're evolving faster than we can keep up.

[00:46:38] So I mean, and if you think about in the 80s and the 90s, that culture,

[00:46:42] like, yeah, everybody was really young when they started because it just wasn't a thing.

[00:46:48] It just they were still figuring out the rules, figuring out what to do.

[00:46:51] So it is kind of weird.

[00:46:53] But I also don't think it's that unbelievable at the time.

[00:46:57] Yeah, like, I think I watched that Tony Hawk documentary a little while ago.

[00:47:00] And his like, his dad was kind of integral and like helping to set up competition, stuff like

[00:47:05] that. So it was a very, like, kind of tight knit community and all the best people kind of knew

[00:47:10] each other and competing against each other.

[00:47:12] So, yeah, it does make sense.

[00:47:13] It's just funny that they're like, I don't know.

[00:47:15] It's just like all the best skaters in the world are right here on the big.

[00:47:21] Well, if it would be anywhere, it would be Venice Beach.

[00:47:24] So we've been there before because I've been there before.

[00:47:27] Because so we get to the point where they his friends now know that he skates for them

[00:47:35] and they're not the happy campers about it.

[00:47:37] And we get to the point where they're like they're having these rivalries

[00:47:41] kind of a mirror thing of what happened in the beginning where they wanted the pit,

[00:47:47] but they already had the pit.

[00:47:48] Yes.

[00:47:48] So now they have this like downhill course that they can't share.

[00:47:52] But it's a road to road.

[00:47:55] And I love like the foreshadowing of brain kind of spacing out and Val being like,

[00:48:00] can you get your head in the game?

[00:48:01] And he's like, it'd be really cool to jump off that roof back onto the street.

[00:48:04] And it'd be like, nah, that'll never happen.

[00:48:06] Foreshadowing.

[00:48:07] And he's like, what is what are you thinking?

[00:48:10] He's like, yeah, it sounds fun.

[00:48:12] And he goes, fun.

[00:48:14] We're not here to have fun.

[00:48:16] So put on your roller skates and let's go down the cell.

[00:48:19] Okay, let's be men about this.

[00:48:20] Okay, about it, please.

[00:48:22] Also, if their entire team goes down the hill, it's going to take them like 30 fucking minutes

[00:48:27] to get back up that hill roller skating.

[00:48:29] They just wait for them to go and then you go.

[00:48:32] Yeah, they have to race.

[00:48:33] They have to race.

[00:48:34] They do.

[00:48:35] And so it's Gabriella and Brink who have to race.

[00:48:39] And Val is a dirty, dirty bird and tells Brink to take the outside and brings like,

[00:48:47] why would I ever take the outside?

[00:48:49] But whatever.

[00:48:50] And it's because Val goes and throws gravel on the inside.

[00:48:55] And Brink tries to warn Gabriella.

[00:48:59] But I mean, she's going downhill at 40 miles an hour.

[00:49:03] There's not much she can do at this point.

[00:49:06] Dude, that jump.

[00:49:06] And the way her body flips through the air.

[00:49:10] Not even that.

[00:49:10] I was talking about earlier that jump she makes off of the the-

[00:49:14] Oh yeah.

[00:49:15] Yeah.

[00:49:15] The lawn people truck was awesome.

[00:49:18] That was like badass.

[00:49:20] And even the guys were like, holy shit.

[00:49:24] Lawn people.

[00:49:26] Lawn people.

[00:49:27] She falls, rolls like seven times.

[00:49:30] Ends up, it's not a broken arm because she has a weird kind of sling.

[00:49:36] Yeah.

[00:49:37] And it's like she has road rash.

[00:49:39] Yeah.

[00:49:39] Yeah.

[00:49:40] But it's just the way that he goes and gets the gravel and just kind of like,

[00:49:46] I died laughing.

[00:49:46] I'm pretty sure there would be bigger rocks on the road accidentally

[00:49:50] than him throwing two little piles of gravel on the road.

[00:49:54] And do you know how much the plot of,

[00:49:57] I get the plot of this movie and the Extremely Goofy movie confused in my brain?

[00:50:03] Oh damn.

[00:50:04] Wait, the second one?

[00:50:06] Yes.

[00:50:07] Oh my god.

[00:50:07] Because there's like a whole rival.

[00:50:09] It's the same, I don't know what movie came out first, but it's the same fucking plot.

[00:50:13] Let me see.

[00:50:14] I think this one came out first because I think Goofy movie came out around the time of this.

[00:50:21] Yeah, because I think a Goofy movie came out in 95.

[00:50:24] Oh, it came out in 98.

[00:50:25] Maybe was 2000.

[00:50:28] Oh my god.

[00:50:28] Oh, 98.

[00:50:29] Okay.

[00:50:30] So yeah, this movie.

[00:50:32] Yes, the plots are very similar.

[00:50:34] You've got a long haired, preppy guy who's an asshole.

[00:50:38] And then you have Max and his friends who are-

[00:50:41] And then Max goes to skate for them, right?

[00:50:43] Yes.

[00:50:44] Yeah.

[00:50:44] It's the same fucking plot.

[00:50:46] Yeah.

[00:50:47] Except for-

[00:50:48] Yeah, somehow Goofy plays a, is a better father than Brink's dad.

[00:50:52] Yeah, well, that's no question.

[00:50:54] He turns it around.

[00:50:55] They have a heart to heart in a little bit.

[00:50:57] Yeah, yeah, they do.

[00:50:59] So Gabriella's fucked up.

[00:51:00] Brink is fucked up for, you know, he feels bad.

[00:51:03] He goes to go visit Gabriella and she gives him this lecture about reminding him what

[00:51:08] soul skating is about and puts him on notice about his shit.

[00:51:14] Really underrated sweet moment is between Gabriella's mom and Brink.

[00:51:19] Like when she opens the door and she's like, Oh, Brink.

[00:51:22] She like, maybe she knows it's his fault in a way in a weird way.

[00:51:26] Maybe she doesn't.

[00:51:27] But like, she's just like, you're a good kid.

[00:51:30] You're my daughter's friend.

[00:51:31] And I accept you.

[00:51:31] She loves him.

[00:51:32] Yeah.

[00:51:33] I expected like a more stereotypical, like Latin, like-

[00:51:37] Hola, mami!

[00:51:38] You know from a Disney Channel movie?

[00:51:41] Not that, please stop.

[00:51:43] Alon's thoughts don't represent me.

[00:51:45] That she was gonna be like more upset with Brink.

[00:51:48] Yeah.

[00:51:49] And instead she was just very like, Oh, you know, you kids will work out whatever disagreements

[00:51:54] you have and he has to go see her.

[00:51:56] And that's probably also just plot convenience wise.

[00:51:58] They needed Brink to go talk to Gabby.

[00:52:00] Oy, pendejo!

[00:52:01] What did you do to my daughter?

[00:52:04] And then the next scene is Brink talking to his dad.

[00:52:07] He finds his old skates in the garage and his dad's been saving him.

[00:52:10] So his dad doesn't really hate skating.

[00:52:13] Well, he says, Why do you have-

[00:52:15] Why do you still have these?

[00:52:17] And his dad's answer is so convoluted.

[00:52:20] And so weird.

[00:52:21] He's like, Well, I don't know.

[00:52:22] Maybe we thought we're gonna have more kids.

[00:52:25] What?

[00:52:25] Because I don't believe Katie wore those things.

[00:52:28] Okay.

[00:52:28] And then secondly, he's like, Or maybe me and your mom are just a bunch of pack rats.

[00:52:33] Why not just say I save these because you love the sport and we love seeing you in them.

[00:52:38] Like it's so ass backwards.

[00:52:41] Katie was a twin, but she absorbed her twin.

[00:52:44] And it goes into this whole thing like, Man, you were gonna have a brother.

[00:52:49] And so Brink tries to- he tells his dad the reason why he did it was he wanted to be somebody

[00:52:56] and like the prestigious that came along with having that endorsement.

[00:53:01] And his dad says, You're defined by the company you keep and how well you keep them.

[00:53:07] And so that brings Brink back to the soul skaters.

[00:53:10] Because he needs to put that on a pillow immediately.

[00:53:14] He has this line like you aren't what you do.

[00:53:16] You're defined by like the people in your life.

[00:53:18] It just reminded me of like the Mewtwo line from the Pokemon movie that everyone makes fun of.

[00:53:22] Like, I see now the circumstances of your birth.

[00:53:25] It's like what you do with life.

[00:53:26] It's just like, it's fucking so deep from this guy who's just like been an asshole the whole movie.

[00:53:32] I just think of the Sister Act 2 song.

[00:53:34] If you wanna be somebody.

[00:53:37] I don't remember the words.

[00:53:38] But that was it.

[00:53:40] Excellent job.

[00:53:40] Better wake up and pay attention.

[00:53:44] Yeah, I remember now.

[00:53:46] It's like a blanket lesson, right?

[00:53:49] Like you could throw this on like any sort of similar movie,

[00:53:52] but it's how you word it is accompanies like the situation.

[00:53:56] Yeah.

[00:53:56] I also agreed with the dad.

[00:53:58] Like your job doesn't matter.

[00:54:00] It's just like, do people think you're an asshole?

[00:54:02] Like people think Val's an asshole.

[00:54:04] Like so don't be an asshole.

[00:54:05] That's what you're saying to him.

[00:54:07] This setup though, how they did it throughout the whole movie

[00:54:10] from the beginning to the end with Boomer and Gabriella on how Brink

[00:54:15] will always go back and help the opposing person he's going against

[00:54:20] and have it set up where Val is now the one injured.

[00:54:24] But Val knows this about Brink.

[00:54:27] I was just like the mind blown evil plan.

[00:54:31] The diabolical genius of Val.

[00:54:37] So it's like the conversation with dad concludes in saying

[00:54:40] dad wants to go to the championship and watch

[00:54:44] and Brink's like, you want to watch me skate?

[00:54:48] And so that relationship is whole again.

[00:54:52] Yeah.

[00:54:52] And he has to go fix it with his friends.

[00:54:54] He offers to be on the team with them again.

[00:54:57] You know, they give him a hard time.

[00:54:59] And but of course they agree and they get sponsored.

[00:55:03] Yeah.

[00:55:04] His job didn't lead to nothing.

[00:55:05] They get a sponsorship.

[00:55:07] Well, he sponsored them though, right?

[00:55:09] Like he had to pay for all of it with his salary.

[00:55:11] What I thought was really funny at that.

[00:55:12] So like right before that, he throws his skates at like Val's table.

[00:55:17] This is the big this is you're right.

[00:55:19] We know.

[00:55:19] I was like, I was like, that's kind of I was like, that's kind of rough.

[00:55:22] Why are you doing that?

[00:55:23] He's like, you could have killed her.

[00:55:24] I was like, oh yeah, the Gabby.

[00:55:25] That's why he's doing that.

[00:55:26] Oh yeah, I forgot.

[00:55:27] I was just so upset that the pizza was ruined by those skates.

[00:55:32] And then Boomer, the Black Ranger gets in the way and is like,

[00:55:36] oh, you've turned on me too, bro.

[00:55:38] So no, the milkshake, the milkshake straight to the face is the best thing ever.

[00:55:44] Like Val's expression when he gets hit with that, it's just like what just happened?

[00:55:49] And that's not a milkshake.

[00:55:50] That is like in Wendy's frosty consistency.

[00:55:55] So Sam Horrigan, the actor who plays Val said that when they filmed that,

[00:56:01] I think in like Benesary or whatever, and it was very cold.

[00:56:04] It was like towards the end of the day.

[00:56:06] I've been there.

[00:56:10] And he said that they did like seven or eight takes of that.

[00:56:14] And he was like, it was just so fucking cold more than anything.

[00:56:20] You know what I thought was funny too?

[00:56:21] After this, Gabby's like, so I heard you threw a vanilla milkshake in his face.

[00:56:26] I was like, how is that a detail that they got wrong?

[00:56:28] Like chocolate.

[00:56:30] He's like, chocolate actually.

[00:56:32] Like, okay, Keanu.

[00:56:33] But like that's a detail you would have remembered with the chocolate hitting his pale white face.

[00:56:40] Like I don't understand in the telephone game that was played, how like they got it wrong.

[00:56:46] Can we also talk about how Val was offended

[00:56:48] that someone would give him a strawberry milkshake because that apparently was feminine?

[00:56:54] I mean, I was a little boy growing up and I kind of agreed like that.

[00:56:56] I missed that.

[00:56:59] So first of all, you have two girls who are constantly in this movie,

[00:57:02] but like have zero real words or anything.

[00:57:05] And he treats them as such as like props and.

[00:57:10] Oh, they're the ones that hang out with him?

[00:57:12] Yeah.

[00:57:12] And they bring him like the milkshakes or whatever.

[00:57:15] And he's like strawberry.

[00:57:16] What do I look like a girl?

[00:57:18] Like the way he says, I don't even know what he says, but he referenced that.

[00:57:22] He how dare you bring me strawberry ice cream?

[00:57:24] That's so he's racist.

[00:57:26] He's sexist.

[00:57:28] Well, the girl too got offended, right?

[00:57:30] The blonde girl.

[00:57:31] She's also the pretty girl that like starts the race kind of like

[00:57:35] Fast and the Furious, the one that drops the like.

[00:57:41] Oh, man.

[00:57:42] So she'd have nothing to do.

[00:57:46] You're right.

[00:57:46] She did do some.

[00:57:47] She did.

[00:57:48] So now we're at the competition championship, which is, as you have stated,

[00:57:54] the nation's top 10 teams.

[00:57:57] How did Team Puppin Suds that weren't even really a team

[00:58:01] get to be in the nation's top 10?

[00:58:04] No explanation.

[00:58:05] A lot to the channel on this.

[00:58:08] Somehow ESPN is there.

[00:58:10] Skates are there.

[00:58:12] Yeah.

[00:58:12] We're soul skaters again, Team Puppin Suds.

[00:58:15] So we start competing and the announcers are just like,

[00:58:20] Brink is a really creative skater.

[00:58:23] They say that right.

[00:58:25] They say that right after saying they've never seen him.

[00:58:28] Like, they don't really recognize.

[00:58:32] This up and coming creative skater guy.

[00:58:36] You know, it's also my favorite part, too.

[00:58:38] And so like right before they start, Val comes over and makes fun of them again.

[00:58:41] And then there's this fourth dude who got added to the team.

[00:58:44] And he just like doesn't say anything.

[00:58:46] And it's like, I don't really understand all the beef that's going on between you guys.

[00:58:49] I'm kind of new here.

[00:58:50] So keep it short.

[00:58:52] I thought what they were going to do is like Gabby hurt her arm so she can't skate.

[00:58:56] And so they have Brink back, but they're like, we're still short a guy.

[00:59:02] Like, what are we going to do?

[00:59:03] We're still short someone.

[00:59:04] And then fucking Boomer comes and he's like, I'm on your team now.

[00:59:09] And I was like, that never happened.

[00:59:10] And that kind of sucks that it didn't happen.

[00:59:12] I'm glad Gabriella was better and she got.

[00:59:15] I'm glad too.

[00:59:16] But how bad ass would have like the twist at the end?

[00:59:19] It would have been like boomers here.

[00:59:21] It would have gone black range of power and it would have been.

[00:59:28] It would have all like their their rollerblades would have connected.

[00:59:31] It would have been like a little dinosaur.

[00:59:34] I just imagine Walter Jones was like the best at the crowd reaction shots that they needed.

[00:59:39] He's like, yeah, and then.

[00:59:44] I love how Katie tells him to skate better after he like falls.

[00:59:50] Like skate better.

[00:59:52] I just have some advice skate better.

[00:59:54] And I love how it says that he's a moody little sack of hormones.

[00:59:58] Yes.

[01:00:01] She does have some lines and we find out the dad had a meeting with his boss and we find

[01:00:07] out that he did not get fired and they asked him to come back on Monday, which is great.

[01:00:11] And Brink finds out right before he's about to do his amazing whatever ramp thing that he did.

[01:00:18] I actually like how it wasn't that one them the thing.

[01:00:21] It was Peter who finally nailed the 540 that wins them that round.

[01:00:26] I loved that younger me was very excited with Peter's dancing skills when he did very well.

[01:00:37] Because you notice like how weird the music was for the skateboarding and the vert.

[01:00:42] The montage.

[01:00:43] Yeah, yeah.

[01:00:44] The montage and then the song for that, like it didn't match.

[01:00:47] Any of the like, it didn't match the vibe at all.

[01:00:50] Like, yeah, I don't I don't know if it's just open source music.

[01:00:53] They ran out of like money.

[01:00:55] It didn't work.

[01:00:56] I was like, what are they doing here?

[01:00:57] Like, what's the I don't get it.

[01:00:59] The soundtrack though for this was pretty good.

[01:01:02] I thought it had a lot of cool music and it did not.

[01:01:05] It didn't.

[01:01:06] I thought I loved it when I was younger.

[01:01:08] The most lame.

[01:01:11] I loved I loved it when I was younger.

[01:01:14] It was like the best.

[01:01:15] I think I recognize one song.

[01:01:16] I think one song was like pretty OK and then the other ones were like, OK.

[01:01:20] It was the kids bop of Scott.

[01:01:21] Well, then I ate it up just like I posted a kids bop video on our Instagram.

[01:01:29] And as the boy singing me and your daughter got something going on, cracks me up every time.

[01:01:39] So now it's the finale, which is one skater from each team on the downhill.

[01:01:45] So, of course, it's Brink and it's Val.

[01:01:49] And they're doing the little squatty thing to be aerodynamic.

[01:01:57] That's what they're doing.

[01:01:59] I love that a kid had to get a concussion for Puppin Suds to even make it.

[01:02:02] And they're just like, oh, dude, as that guy's getting carted off, we're in the finals.

[01:02:08] They did withhold themselves from like.

[01:02:10] Yeah, I know.

[01:02:11] I laugh, you know, I don't know.

[01:02:15] Cheering too much.

[01:02:16] Celebrating about it.

[01:02:17] Yeah.

[01:02:18] The best line in the whole movie, in my opinion, is when Val faces injury and pulls

[01:02:25] Brink down and you have the camera guys on the scene right there like.

[01:02:30] And he and he goes, did you get it?

[01:02:33] I got all of it.

[01:02:36] Which happens in my Goofy movie, extremely goofy movie.

[01:02:40] I think they catch them cheating.

[01:02:42] Danielle, that's a TikTok.

[01:02:43] So Val also tries to hit Brink at one time and then Val, he fakes that injury, pulls

[01:02:50] Brink down.

[01:02:51] So Brink's losing time, Val is cruising down the hill.

[01:02:55] But then Brink takes a jog through the alleyway and you think Val's going to win it all.

[01:03:01] And then here comes Brink sailing over like cars and shit, lands back on the road in their

[01:03:08] neck and neck and Brink like pulls away at the very end to win it.

[01:03:14] Is that an official shortcut?

[01:03:16] Like, what are we doing here?

[01:03:16] Right.

[01:03:17] Like, no, just fucking skip the course.

[01:03:19] You have to do the whole thing.

[01:03:20] I think shortcuts.

[01:03:21] The guys have cheated.

[01:03:23] Right.

[01:03:23] If he cheated, so it's just like there's no rules anymore.

[01:03:26] The concussed team should have won by default.

[01:03:29] Concussed!

[01:03:31] That's what I agree.

[01:03:32] GeForce got screwed.

[01:03:33] We've all been concussed.

[01:03:35] The weird thing too is like there's cameras and you see the camera angle.

[01:03:41] Even the mom makes a comment like what happened to the feed?

[01:03:44] And someone has explained to her, like it's a blind spot in the race, which has no relevancy

[01:03:48] to the entire plot ever.

[01:03:50] And so they turn the corner and then now they can see their kids skating down the hill.

[01:03:56] What's weird too is like the camera guy goes out of his way to say, did you get that?

[01:04:00] Which means did you get Val cheating?

[01:04:03] And he's like the other guy is like, yeah, I got it all.

[01:04:06] We don't see anyone in the crowd watching that and being like, whoa, what a fucking cheater.

[01:04:13] We only get one line from someone in the crowd like booing Val and that's it.

[01:04:18] They're like, you cheater!

[01:04:20] Yeah, they do say you don't see it, but you people are like cheater.

[01:04:25] But also, Brink is a cheater too.

[01:04:28] He didn't cheat, Jackie.

[01:04:31] He just took a different way.

[01:04:34] Alan saying that when they're saying like, oh, there's a blind spot.

[01:04:37] Maybe that was the point is they didn't see Brink cheat.

[01:04:39] And so that's the point of the Disney movie.

[01:04:40] Like just don't get caught cheating.

[01:04:43] But then also the owner of Team X-Blades comes up to Brink and says, hey, dude, my boy cheated

[01:04:51] over there.

[01:04:51] He's off the team.

[01:04:52] Do you want to be on the team?

[01:04:53] So that is them saying that like the crowd saw it.

[01:04:56] But then Brink says no.

[01:04:57] And I just imagine that the guy's like, okay, fucking Val's back on the team.

[01:05:00] Yeah, I think the cheater then.

[01:05:04] I love that when Brink wins, the first person he hugs, he picks up his sister Katie and

[01:05:12] then throws her like literally chucks her to the side.

[01:05:19] Best part of the fucking movie.

[01:05:22] It's it's very much a Disney trope to like make enemies with your friends, make enemies

[01:05:29] with your parents, and then systematically in the order in which you made enemies from

[01:05:34] go backwards and mend things.

[01:05:36] Right?

[01:05:37] Right.

[01:05:37] So when he's like being congratulated, it's his family first, and then he ends it with

[01:05:43] his friends.

[01:05:44] Yeah.

[01:05:45] But in the beginning of the movie, you see him with his family and then his friend.

[01:05:49] I thought that was kind of an interesting parallel.

[01:05:52] And then it ends on that classic freeze frame.

[01:05:55] Don't you hear about me?

[01:05:58] I don't know.

[01:06:00] That's great.

[01:06:01] I don't understand the lesson of this movie is that it's like if you have a passion, just

[01:06:08] don't get paid to do that passion instead, get a job you hate.

[01:06:13] And then like on your free time, you can explore your passion for free instead of like, I don't

[01:06:18] know, making a ton of money doing the thing you love.

[01:06:21] That's why we're all podcasters.

[01:06:23] Yeah, 100%.

[01:06:24] I do want to read this tweet that I found as I was doing research to find any kind of

[01:06:31] fun facts.

[01:06:33] That movie Brink from Disney is the best thing white people have ever done.

[01:06:40] Is it?

[01:06:41] I'll take it.

[01:06:42] That's from at Chuck underscore strangers.

[01:06:47] Well, that was before the Barbie movie came out.

[01:06:49] So maybe now.

[01:06:51] I don't know.

[01:06:52] It would be so funny.

[01:06:54] You know, it'd be so funny.

[01:06:55] Danielle is that if you read that tweet and the Twitter handle was like, not Eric Von Deaton.

[01:07:05] Well, some fun facts we miss Brie Larson audition for the role of Katie.

[01:07:12] And the movie was loosely based on the novel Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates by Mary

[01:07:18] Mapes Dodge.

[01:07:20] And Brink was the third DCOM ever created.

[01:07:27] What were the first two?

[01:07:29] The gosh, what was the first one?

[01:07:32] I think it is the under the bed one is one of the first ones.

[01:07:37] Don't look under the bed.

[01:07:38] Yeah.

[01:07:40] I'll look it up.

[01:07:41] But I'm looking at right now.

[01:07:42] Fucking classical thing to ask you.

[01:07:45] I always ask questions that David's not perfect.

[01:07:47] Under wraps is the mummy one.

[01:07:50] Yeah.

[01:07:51] What was number two?

[01:07:52] You lucky dog.

[01:07:54] Never heard of it.

[01:07:56] All right, guys, why don't you tell everybody before we get into our ratings what your social

[01:08:00] handles are so that they can find you and your podcast.

[01:08:04] We are I finally watched on Twitter on Instagram and then finally watched on Twitter.

[01:08:10] And don't forget to follow us at No More Late Fees on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok,

[01:08:14] Twitter, YouTube and threads.

[01:08:15] Start with you, Alon.

[01:08:17] What was your present day rating of Brink?

[01:08:21] Two day rental.

[01:08:22] Okay.

[01:08:26] David?

[01:08:27] I'm going surprisingly, I'm going five day rental.

[01:08:31] This is actually a lot better than I thought.

[01:08:34] I think it's because my expectations were so low.

[01:08:38] It's like when we plan this and you're like, we want to do Brink.

[01:08:40] I was like, fuck me.

[01:08:42] I have to watch Brink.

[01:08:43] And then I watched it and I was like, it's actually way better than I expected.

[01:08:51] And it's also like the things that were bad about it were like fun.

[01:08:55] Bad about it instead of just like if this movie was made today by the Disney channel,

[01:08:59] you'd be like, I can't even make it through this dialogue.

[01:09:02] It's so bad.

[01:09:04] But it was a lot better than I thought.

[01:09:06] So I tried to watch this during the pandemic and I had to stop because it's like, I don't

[01:09:11] remember this being so fucking bad.

[01:09:14] So when we had to watch it for this, I was like, I can't do it.

[01:09:17] I don't know if I can do it.

[01:09:19] But then when I rewatched it this time, I was like, oh, it's not the worst thing we've seen

[01:09:24] on this show.

[01:09:25] But I definitely don't love it the way that I did when I was younger.

[01:09:28] It's very corny and ridiculous.

[01:09:30] And do I see myself rewatching it again?

[01:09:33] Probably not.

[01:09:35] I'll give it a two day.

[01:09:36] I think it's a two day rental for me.

[01:09:39] Jackie?

[01:09:40] Same day rental for me.

[01:09:42] I just went through the entire list of D-coms that were produced by Disney True D-coms.

[01:09:50] Out of that list, I lost count at 50.

[01:09:52] There's probably like 75 on here.

[01:09:54] I have seen one.

[01:09:56] Not including Cheetah Girls and now Brink that I have watched.

[01:10:00] Xenon?

[01:10:01] Was Xenon the one you saw?

[01:10:02] No, the one I saw was in 2015, The Descendants.

[01:10:09] What?

[01:10:10] Oh, the villain.

[01:10:11] The kids are the villains.

[01:10:12] Did your mom read that book?

[01:10:14] No.

[01:10:15] Oh, I'm just trying to understand.

[01:10:16] It just seemed like a cool premise for a movie.

[01:10:19] Okay.

[01:10:20] Was it a good movie?

[01:10:22] It was entertaining.

[01:10:23] I didn't hate it.

[01:10:24] I've seen all of them.

[01:10:25] I'm not gonna lie.

[01:10:28] Then why are you questioning me?

[01:10:30] I'm questioning you watching them.

[01:10:33] We know I will watch it.

[01:10:36] Oh yeah, every now and again, I'll watch a Disney movie.

[01:10:39] They're entertaining.

[01:10:41] It's the offspring of the villains and the heroes.

[01:10:47] It's basically Once Upon a Time for Kids.

[01:10:49] Yes, except less convoluted because that show got real crazy at times.

[01:10:56] Everyone's each other's mother.

[01:10:57] That's all you gotta know.

[01:11:01] If you have opinions, wanna let us know your favorite D.

[01:11:30] And thank you, Alon and David, for joining us.

[01:11:33] It was a pleasure as always.

[01:11:36] I love y'all's hot takes.

[01:11:42] And we can't wait to have you guys come back again.

[01:11:46] No, we had so much fun.

[01:11:47] Thank you for inviting us.

[01:11:49] And more importantly, thank you for putting up with us.

[01:11:52] Oh no, trust me, it was good.

[01:11:55] I just wanna reiterate that the views of Alon are his own

[01:11:58] and they don't represent me or this podcast or on in any way.

[01:12:03] So you guys are great.

[01:12:05] No, we really appreciate you taking the time.

[01:12:07] We know that you're both really busy.

[01:12:09] Yeah, this was a lot of fun.

[01:12:13] I was gonna say, that's really nice coming from David.

[01:12:17] What does that mean?

[01:12:18] It means I feel like you are honest and you don't just say things for fluff.

[01:12:23] So I appreciate it.

[01:12:24] Everyone knows you're the cynical one.

[01:12:26] It's okay.

[01:12:28] That's probably true.

[01:12:30] Take a compliment, David.

[01:12:32] God damn, dude.

[01:12:33] I'll take it.

[01:12:33] Well, I needed it explained to me and then now it's explained to me.

[01:12:37] I accept.

[01:12:41] See what I have to put up with?

[01:12:45] And as always be kind and rewind.
