Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Sabrina, do you have any friends that are like twins
or triplets or quadruplits or any kind of plitz.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I grew up with a pair of twins that were
on a soccer team.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I was on, okay, identical or the other kind.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
They were identical, okay, And then I had I had
coached two sets. I just one set, just graduated, and
then there's a set that's going to be a seniors
right now.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We had Have you ever heard of what a mirrored
twin is?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
A mirrored twin?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, so we had. They were. They weren't on my
specific team, but they were. It was a set of
twins that mirrored each other. So one had a mole
on the right side a mirror. I was like, what's mirrored, mirrored,
mirror mirrored? Yeah, okay, so yeah, one was right handed,
one was left handed.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Oh so there is that asymmetrical? Is that what they
would be like if they look at each other they
max right?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Oh cool?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah that was pretty cool and complete opposite personalities. I mean,
they could not be more different, different interests. They didn't
get along. They were one set of twins. Yeah, there's
twins that are besties and then there's twins that I've
come across that just can't stand each other, like they
have separate friends if you're friends with both of them.

(01:38):
My girlfriend's daughter had to do different kind of play
dates in a sense because they the twins did not
play together, so it would they were complete opposites, which
is just so crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
One of my closest friends growing up was a twin.
It was an identical twin. And he told me my
high school wasn't known for much, but one of the
things we were known for is we had there's only
like five hundred kids in the school, but we had
like seventeen sets of twin.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
It was it was weird, wow, And it was a
lot of twins.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
And my friend he did he told me, he said,
being a twin, you are born with a best friend
or an enemy for life.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yet for life. Yeah, I don't know if they ever.
I haven't kept in touch with those twins. I kind
of always just figured maybe it was going to be
a high school thing and they'd grow.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Out of it.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I hoped they would, because what I have always wanted
to be a twin.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I wanted twins when I was getting pregnant.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Really act a time. Okay, I prayed and prayed and prayed,
and I had to take a medication with Ledger to
get pregnant and the possibility of having multiples was part
of taking the medication. So Jordan was terry the.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Side effects is possible multiple Bert? Wow?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah yeah, yeah, just sorry. Memo to self never to
take that medication.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, there's yeah, there's a couple of medications that it
ups the ante. So I was like crossing my fingers.
Jordan was losing his mind. He did not coush oh man.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh poor Jordan.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well we did the ultrasound. He's like, there's only one
in there, right, There's only one?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yikes.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, welcome to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you
want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your popcorn
and go back to a time when all the houses
were smart, the.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Waves, tsunamis and the high School's musical.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm Wilfordell and I'm Sabrina Bryan.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, get the strollers ready, people, Get the strollers ready.
Get the strollers ready, Get the strollers ready, Get the
strollers ready, Get the strollers ready. Yes, times five, because
this week we are diving into two thousands family comedy Quint, which,
believe it or not, is not about multiple shark hunters
in Amityville.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
That is a Jaws joke for everybody else out there.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
It is a lighthearted, family focused comedy, some might say
an unfocused family comedy, Thank you very Much. That first
aired on August eighteenth of two thousand. Despite the fact
that the title references the five baby scene in the movie,
the focus is on a completely different character, fourteen year
old Jamie Grover, and the effect on her life because
of her new brothers and sisters. This is far and

(04:04):
away the most meta and fourth wall breaking movie we've
had yet, with the sassy main character talking to and
even having conversations with the audience directly. She even creates
fictitious scenes to fool us. It's currently on Disney Plus.
You can watch right now, or you can wait, or
you cannot watch it at all, or you can even
just imagine what it looks like whatever. Nobody's gonna be

(04:24):
mad at you. Sabrina might give you some sass, but
you get used to it.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now, before this was a sign of the podcast, did
you think this movie was going to be about five babies?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yes? Yeah, right?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
What else would it be Quint's right, It's.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, this is going to be about five babies or
five kids that grow up, or five toddlers or.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, but I didn't anticipate it not having the main
character as one of the Quints.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
That me, yeah, I agree, So it was it's Quint's
plus one, I guess would be a different title.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
We'll get it.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Did you had you heard of this movie before we
did it.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I've heard of it. I've know you haven't seen it.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, i'd heard it because that that two thousands mark right,
a little bit before, a little bit after. It's right
in the main time of when I was auditioning for
a lot of stuff, you know. And then obviously I
really loved watching these movies because I hoped to one
day get to do one right. But it was strange
because I was thinking in The Cheetah Girls, Aqua Keeley's

(05:26):
character is actually in the books a twin, but they
when they casted, they decided to not. It was kind
of up in the air of whether or not they
were going to try to attempt to do that, but
it just was too hard with performances.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well, so she was was she originally her character is
that's when we talked about with Tia and Tamara, maybe
we're going to play that character in Cheetah Girls.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Right, maybe Beyonce's little sister Solange was originally cast.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
But I think originally they said there was a chance
that they were going to keep it twins.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah, and maybe it was going to be Tia and Tamara.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, they were. They would have been a lot older
than us though at the time.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's why I think was one of the reasons why
they ended up not doing it.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, so interesting, But so it was interesting. I'm going,
how are they going to do five of the same character?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Oh my, I thought the same thing.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I was like, Oh, man, is it Kimberly Kimberly Brown
is playing five different character? This is going to be
so cool. So it wasn't that at all. But I
also don't think, yes, it wasn't that at all. I
also don't think it will shock anybody out there that
I had never heard of this nor seen it. Right, Okay,
so before we missed the middle school art show, let's
get into the synopsis. Fourteen year old Jamie Grover goes

(06:33):
to desperate lengths to get attention from her parents. When
her mother gives birth to famous quintuplets. Early thoughts. Did
you like it?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
It wasn't. This definitely hasn't been my favorite to watch,
but I did like parts of it. I thought it
was interesting that the normal trope of the main character
really like, I thought she was going to be such
a brat about, you know, sharing the time as we
were starting to get into the storyline.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
But the real lessons were learned by the parents.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I felt, you know, not the best parents. Sure, yeah,
this is this is up there with those bad parenting situations.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
This is yeah, I okay, first of all, and let's
get this out there and we'll talk about her coming up.
Kimberly Brown is a star. You can tell from the
second she's on screen. Absolutely, there's not a scene in
this movie. I don't think that she is not in.
I noticed that she carries the entire thing. She's really
good and so you could see right away how she's
going to go on to become who she becomes.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
That's a given.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
That being said, halfway through, I was like, I don't
know what this movie is is about.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
What what is the main lesson we're even trying to
reach for.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's all over the place.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I felt it was very oh, okay, no, okay, this
is what the storyline is, like teaching, Oh no it's this,
or no, it's this.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, I can't kind of didn't know that Disney usually
puts some kind of this is what it's about thing
in whatever, whether it's a big set piece or it's
a smaller movie, you kind of know what it's about.
This one just kind of it just was kind of
a movie. It was almost like they wanted to do
a Parker Lewis style television show, but just do you

(08:17):
know Parker Lewis?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Am I throwing that over here? Parker Lewis is right?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
So Parker Lewis was a late eighties early nineties quote
unquote sitcom. It was single camera, but it was Korn
Nemick played the lead. And it was the first time
really that the character was talking right to the camera. Okay,
so he's like walking through his high school and something
would happen.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
He turned the camera like can you believe that?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
And it was like this new style, this Parker Lewis style, yeah, which.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I thought was okay, yes.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
No, that the talking right to the camera because she's
so personable and she's so good that she could go
back from kind of that to you know, from the
scene to talking to the camera from the scene like,
no problem.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
I just didn't get what the story was.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I know, I was confused the whole time so much
that it started to make me kind of angry, get bored.
I kind of really it was hard for me to
keep watching because I just didn't understand what.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Was going on. I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
And then at the end when the governor comes out,
I'm like, where was he the whole movie.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's a great actor.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh, we'll get into I will get in the dum
Knuts in a second. Speaking of that, let's get into
the cast. So, as we said, Kimberly J. Brown is
the lead Jamie. She's best known around these parts as
Marnie Piper, the main character in the dcom classics Halloween Town,
Halloween Town Two, Calibar's Revenge, and Halloween Town High.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
She is Disney Royalty.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
She's also appeared in the movies Tumbleweeds and Bringing Down
the House, and she has been in the news very
recently because she just got married to her co star
Daniel Koontz, who starred with her in Halloween Town and
then they lost touch and they reconnected decades later and
they got married.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
It's a cool story.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I didn't know they lost Yes, that's very apparently.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And she he is also. I was just texting with
her yesterday. She is one of the nicest human beings
you will ever meet in your life. Lover to death,
and she's talented as hell. She carried this movie despite
not really knowing what the story was. I'm saying that
not her. I'm sure she has a totally different take
on it. And then we get character actor legend Daniel
Roebuck as Jim Grover, Jamie's dad. He's got a major Hey,

(10:20):
it's that guy face. But you've seen him in movies
like The Fugitive, Final Destination Agent Cody Banks and the
show Lost. But he broke out back in the eighties
with the Keanu Reeves teen mystery A River's Edge, which
I never saw. I'm assuming it's about a mysterious edge
of a river. And as Jay Leno in one of

(10:40):
my favorite TV movies ever made, called The Late Shift.
It was made by HBO back in the day, and
it was how The Tonight Show shifted over from Johnny
Carson to Jay Leno as opposed to David Letterman and
the fight they went through. It's a great movie. If
you haven't seen it, go check out. He is a
great actor. You should It's really really worth it. Late Shift,
great movie.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
And then somebody we learned about a lot last week.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Shadia Simmons played Zoe Jamie's best friend, and she was
one of the leads of that amazing film we just
reviewed Color of Friendship. And these two movies were both
released in the same year at Disney Channel. So shotty,
it must have been very, very busy around her. Yeah wow,
and was not used well in this movie. Was not
used enough in this movie. But all the scenes she
were in she was great.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yes, she's a great little actor. It also kind of
shocks me that she really didn't go on to do
a show or really you know that they've used her
so much right then in the same year.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
And then she might not have liked it. I mean again,
she retired. She's I think we set a teacher somewhere
in Canada, and true she might have just said, you
know what, I got to play It was fun when
I was a kid, and now I'm going.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
To go do what I love.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
So we hoped that was the case, and then another
very familiar face shows up at least two. One of
the hosts here of this show Vince Caraza Albert the
Slimy Diaper Company ad rep, who also played Yes.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Jackal Johnson, one of the best, the best ever names ever,
the slimy Jackal Johnson, which is how you gotta say
it in the Girls, truly.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
A dcom legend. Let's say one more time.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Jackal Johnson. I just screamed when I saw that, of course,
because I haven't seen it, had no idea. And there
he is, playing another slimy.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Another another absolute slimeball.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
He does it so well and from what you said,
he's a super nice guy.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, he's so sweet. And assuming they shot this in Toronto.
As soon as that's I'm like they there we are Toronto.
Another Disney movie here exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Well, that's because we can tell because Canadian actor Jake
Epstein plays Brad, which helps us figure out that, yes,
this movie was the what do we say heads it
was Toronto tails it to Utah, So they came up
and they filmed in Canada. He is a Rossi the
Next Generation Star, which apparently is the equivalent of being
elected to political office in Canada. I kid my Canadian family,

(13:08):
let's put it that way. He also appeared on Suits,
The Umbrella Academy, and The New Hardy Boys Show. And
then we have Elizabeth Moorehead. She played Nancy Grover.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
That's the mom.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
And I'm throwing her in there because she was in
one of the most famous episodes of Seinfeld ever as
Dispenser and I sat there for the first twenty minutes
of the movie going, damn, where do I know this
little being from? And I didn't want to google? And
there we go from a hugely famous Seinfeld episode. And lastly,
in the Dabney Coleman Chair, we have Good Notts. Yes,
that's what I'm going to say his name every single time,

(13:39):
Dad Notts as Governor Healy Notts is best remembered as
Barty five on The Andy Griffith Show, which he won
five Emmys for, and then later as Ralph Furley on
Three's Company. He is a legend in every sense of
the word on television, but not just TV, also in
movies like The Incredible Mister Lippitt, The Ghost and Chicken,

(14:00):
and The Shakiest Gun in the West.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
He has truly one of the most.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Signature voices in the history of entertainment, which is why
I always shay don not like that. He's just again
television royalty. You smiled just when he walks on screen. Unfortunately,
he passed away back in two thousand and six. He
was eighty two years old. And then, of course it
was very difficult to find out who played the babies.
And I'm gonna say this fast, Adam Becky, Charlie Debietti,

(14:24):
m M one more time, Adam Becky, Charlie Debietti. But
apparently on TikTok, the star of the movie, Kimberly Brown
said that her own brother was one of the babies
cast in the movie.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
That's so cool. I love that. I love that family
on set. I just think that's so fun.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I love it as well. And apparently here's the thing
with babies. You know, they can only work fifteen to
twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
At a time.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
And there is quite a bit of the movie, so
they used twenty different babies.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Wow, cast of this movie only one Kimberly Brown, but.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Twenty different Kimberly. Well, there is only one Kimberly.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
There's only one true Kimberly Brown.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
The movie is eighty three minutes long, seven from our
eventual Bullseye, which someday we'll get. And it is directed
by Bill Corkran, a man who directed a ton of TV,
including one of my favorite shows growing up, twenty one
Jump Street and yes I'm saying it like that, Wise
Guys starring a man, well, one of the stars named
William Russ, who played my dad on Boy Mets World
and Street Justice. But it was the co writers of

(15:26):
this movie that are off the charts, and to me,
especially off the charts.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
So first is Matthew Wiseman, who wrote two.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Of the biggest eighties hits of all time, maybe not
the biggest hits of all time, I should say two
of Wilfridell's biggest eighty hits of all time. Where if
you want to build it down and act out every
scene of these movies, I could. The first is teen Wolf,
uh and the same is Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Forget it,
I could do both movies back. Wow, have you seen

(15:57):
either one of those? Sabrina, I've seen.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Teen Wolf, but I have not seen Commando.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
When I read this, I went, what, yes the heck
is that movie?

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Commando.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Oh man, when you come to Ard Schwarzenegger's house and
you take his daughter, he going commando on you.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
That he's not wearing underwear.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
I mean, that's what I can't get over. This guy
that just never wears underwear. What's that has chacked?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
It meant something different in the eighties when you're a commando,
you are like a commando.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Now it just means you're yeah, you're.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
You're going command But Schwarzenegger and Commando, they came and
stole a lista Milano from him.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
He's going commando. You're right. It now just sounds weird.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
I love her too.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
He also wrote Whoopy Goldberg's Burglar, which is actually a
very good movie, and the Jason Bateman sequel Teen Wolf two,
which is t and he shares a credit with Gregory K. Pinkis,
who was the writer of the kid baseball classic Little
Big League, another great movie. So, I mean, there are
some great movies on the resume of these two writers
that really helped to shape the person that I am.

(17:00):
And now all that's going through my head is Arnold
Schwarzenegger with no underwear.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
I'm sorry, but that's not all that Commando is to
me anymore. You're rowin it, you're growing up.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
But for this one, we're thrown right into the fame
that these quintuplets, which of course is a set of
five babies, because they're not it's not sets of twins,
they're all there's nobody's identical.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
There's just five kids.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
And so because these five are coming out, it brings
our narrator into frame.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
We' talking directly a camera.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
She is the older sister of these renowned babies, and
she promised us right off the bat that the story
is not going to be lame or boring. There were times,
I gotta be honest, it was a little boring. Lies
And again she's great to say she yes, she the whole.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
I did like that twist of oh we're talking about okay.
I did like how they got us into the movie.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yes, and I like she's talking right to us.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I did too.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yeah, welcoming us to her home one of my.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
First n all my Sabrina season, going wow, this is different.
We've not seen this yet. I love this.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yes, And and the character is very sarcastic, which again
I was okay with. But there's only a handful of
lines of the movie where she's really not being sarcastic
or kind of lying to us, purposely lying to us, right, yeah,
sending you know, setting something up that hey, well you
can't possibly believe that's the way it happened.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Kind of. Nope, my high school isn't really.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Like this, which is fun, but she's if you're looking
for reliability as a narrator, you're set up to not
always trust her. Did that bother you in any way,
shape or for him?

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Uh? I didn't love the freeze frame things that kept happening.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
I didn't ease.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Those kind of were pointless to me.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I think it was probably new technology at the time. Maybe, Yeah,
you know, like the freeze and step out of the
freeze frame. I think that's probably kind of newish.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, I guess I didn't really see them as being
helpful in any sense besides the fact that it just
made her like this quirky, like just hitting, kind of fun,
you know, playful character. Other than that, I really didn't
love it that much.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, I kind of agree with you. This is the
other thing. There's a lot of leaps leaps of time
in this movie.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
So she throws us back to January before the big
birthday when we learn about her dad, Jim. He's taking
classes to get a college degree and get a promotion
at work, which he seems to work at someplace like
a Low's or a home depot, and is obviously working
to better himself with that kind of you know, you know, educationally.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, he's wanting to get the next promotions.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
To climb the ladder, you know, so maybe the manager
or something along those lines. Her mom publishes and writes
for the neighborhood paper. But she's a bit of a scatterbrain.
But of course, being the only child, Jamie is the
apple of her parents. I and they just hound her
constantly about her schoolwork, hoping she gets into this Magnet

(19:58):
Science high school. And I mean for the first part
of the movie, that's all they talk about.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
All of that.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
The plan they keep talking about, the plan.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Plan was our fuzz bucket of this movie. It was
said seven thousand, four hundred and sixty two times.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
It was the plan, the plan, which of course she
is not always down for the plan, right, want to
have a plan in your own life.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
She's young, she's exactly fourteen years old. I don't you know,
that's such a hard time because as parents, you can
tell that's a big part of wanting to get them
to really be thinking about their future. But that just
four years in high school seems like light years for
them when they're at the beginning of it.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I have so much time, you know.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
So she's normal, She's a normal kid. Normal kid wants
to stop talking about this plan.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Except she does have a serious drinking problem.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
And by that I mean the very first time we
see her try to drink something, she holds up.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
A bottle of juice like six inches from her lips.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
It's not she doesn't even attempt to touch it and
just dumps it all over her face. All of the
drinking problem of the lead of airplane or he goes,
I have a drinking problem and then just throws it
to the side of his head. So it was like
she she didn't do that. I don't yeah that, I
didn't know if the director had directed her to do that.
I can't wait too And I'm going to tell you

(21:22):
right here, we're talking to Kimberly, so we get a
chance to actually ask her these questions.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
But it was as if the character had never drunk.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Anything in her life, right, and just brought it up
to her face and splashed the whole thing down her face.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
It was was it was weird, Ye, yes, I did again.
It was just one of those things that these random
things kind of happened, and you try to hold on
to it, going, Okay, that's probably going to come up
later and I'm going to understand that later, and then
it never does. Yeah, like all right, I don't know
why they did that.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Thought maybe she just had this thing where she constantly
splashed off in her face, but she doesn't. Jamie is
focused on science, the field her pair parents wanted, which
is again the field her parents want her to focus on.
But instead of getting a's that she needs to go
to the Magnet school, she's getting b's and B pluses.
And her parents talked to her a couple of times,
like getting a B plus is like you might as

(22:13):
well have brought home, like you might just why did
you even go to school?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah? Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Which is still above average?

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Right above average, above average, way up.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I would have killed to get a B or a
B plus in most of my classes.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 4 (22:27):
My parents would have been like, a B plus? Did
you cheat?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, I mean that amazing. So that seemed a little harsh.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Yeah, but you can also.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Tell because one of the things they do set up
is that no one in her family has been to college, right,
so she would be the first to go. And it's
the kind of putting their dreams on her, sure.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Which I think is normal for parents. You that is
such a normal thing to want to give your kid
a life that was better than yours. Sure, to provide
for them more than what was provided for you, and
for them to be more successful. Then maybe you had
the opportunity to be. So that's okay too. But again,
the plan was a nause eighty plan, yes, And.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
The plan certainly bums her out because she is about
this school art club that she maybe would like to join,
but has no time because of all the work that
she has to put in to get into fake science
Magnet school. And then she loses the science fair to
your best friend Bradley, who is set up as an
absolute genius. But then it all goes to the back

(23:34):
burner when she finds out that her parents are pregnant
and they're having five by babe. Yeah, there's a Now
there's then a very strange scene where a miscommunication has
Jamie almost having to tell her parents about sex.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Did you see where her Mom's like, I don't know
how this happened.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
She's like, well, mom, when two people love each other,
which is a funny joke, but it's like it was
very non I paused.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
I paused a little bit, like, oh God, are we
about to do this?

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Oh my god? How many times it is?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
He gonna shock me some random things that you just
don't expect from Disney. But it didn't happen to It
kind of went in and out and it was just
breezed over.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
So yes, Now I have never had a child.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
You have, I have to imagine having five would be tough?
Would you? Could you imagine giving birth to five children? Yes?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
I think that would be so overwhelming the pregnancy alone,
you know, because they'd say, my sister has twins, and
the symptoms throughout the pregnancy are double when you have twins,
so if you're nauseous, it's even worse. Things like that,

(24:51):
you know. So yeah, and then when they're there, I mean,
I just as soon as one of the first scenes
comes on with all of the babies in the room,
one wakes up starts crying wakes up another who ends
up waking up. I mean, it's like the vicious cycle
of you know, you talk to people, even with twins,

(25:12):
you talk to people about feeding. You know, if you're
gonna be you feed. It doesn't take the you know,
twenty minutes to feed or thirty minutes to feed your baby.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's that plus next. You know, there's no break you.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Oh, that's got to be tough.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Oh, I can't imagine five at once. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
The cool thing though, is you'd obviously have to raise
them to either be a band or a basketball team, correct,
which would be cool.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I mean you'd raise them to do something right away, which.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Will be definitely get your full band, Yeah, that would
be cool, or a full sports team all at once.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I'd still be lead singer. It'd be Will and the quinns.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Oh TM by the way, for everybody out there.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
TM.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
So the nine months past, and basically we see they
show a passage of time by their building the nursery
where you know they're putting all the bassinettes and everything
in there. These are not the leftover's baskets either. These
are actually the bats.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
That are there taking out random wooden tables. Well, did
you just have a wooden table, like a picnic table
in that room? Why?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
That was just stuff on the set. There was like
throw it in there, we'll clean it out later. Jamie
now has always they've set it up to where she
wanted some time of her own.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
She didn't want to be her the sole focus of
her family.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
She did want a brother or sister, constant attention on her,
spotlight on her all the time. So at first she's like,
this is going to be great. Her wishes come true.
You know, it's like this is wow, I'm gonna they're
going to be concentrating on something else and maybe I
can have a little bit of my life back, which is,
you know, I think, very kind of real.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
No longer asking how school's going, not you know all
of that exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
But you kind of feel good for her.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
You know, I feel like you're kind of like, okay,
good she is getting a break.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I agree, And it was you're kind of like, all right,
this is going to work out. And then there's the
labor scene, and so at the hospital, Jamie her two
best friends are in the waiting room and every few
seconds the dad comes running out to announce a birth
and the name or gender of the baby, and each
time he becomes more and more exhausted, until he passes
out in a daze, which begs the question.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
Is he giving birth to the children?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Why is the man so tired?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
I don't know. I do not know why that's on
my Sabrina seas. Why is he acting like this guy's
doing a whole lot like he's doing a whole lot
of work. You know, I get it.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It is.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's stressful. You're worried about your partner. I do understand that.
I remember being in the room with my sister when
she was giving birth, like when she was really going
at the pushine and everything, and we were holding her
in a position it's it's work for somebody. But he
was just I mean, obviously movie driven, just over the top.

(27:57):
And I did not understand why they kept handing out
suckers that doesn't.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, and also to the only two people in the room,
by the way, so they're walking out with thirty two lollipops.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
They were strangers. They were strangers of some sort, But
then they weren't when they gave the dad a deady
bear and some ye know, advil or whatever.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
In my head. He was so tired.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Because the delivery room and the waiting room were three
miles apart. That must have been he was running to
each one. I mean by he got his steps in
that day.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Let's just say it, right, Yeah, I guess that's what
it must have been.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
So having the quins, which you know, we've seen this
happen before in real life, So having the quince becomes a.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Big local story.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
But of course having five crying kids as completely up
ended their lives.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
They can't afford it.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean, imagine, having one baby's got to be hard enough,
but five how do you how do.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
You feed them without any help? I mean, diapers's still working. Yeah,
it's without any extra help. There was no grandma that
came in to help, which is very common. Yeah, you know,
someone to help. Even with one baby, you get offers
from everyone.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
I can come over, give you some rest.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, And for some reason, because there's five, both of
these parents have completely and totally forgotten how to take
care of babies at all at so yeah, we don't
we don't know what they're thinking. So Jamie kind of
steps in almost to become the third parent. And at

(29:26):
this point it is it's kind of I get being
overwhelmed and showing the parents overwhelmed, because of course they
be overwhelmed, but they set it up to the point
where they literally forget how to like hold kids.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yes, yes, it was. It's a little it was over
the top in that sense.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
And again, I mean I feel like they bring in
a nanny at one point, which was great. I didn't
understand because they were talking about not being able to
af Ford sitters.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
How did you afford this nanny.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Right, which they don't kind of and they.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
She just kind of comes in yeah, but then.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
They also.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
She says, later and we'll get to that. She says,
you know what, they get a nanny, and Fiona has
she does have a real luck of the Irish kind
of accent sometime comes out. But she also then has
a breakdown because there's too many babies, and then says,
don't worry, I'm leaving.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I quit.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I can't do it, but don't worry. You don't have
to pay me. So obviously they were paying her.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
But I also found it so strange that she named
the babies baby one, baby two. They which yeah, different
because parents of multiples, at least the ones that I
have are very adamant of making sure that each kid
is seen as an individual, and.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That she's just these parents don't care about any of that.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Call the baby one.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Call and they went to the point where she starts
calling Kimberly's character six.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yeah, so she's just she just wants them.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
It's like they're trying to set it up to where
she's very military about.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
It and very kind of Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
But I mean, I've got to imagine a night with
a child. Can you remember your worst night as a parent?
I mean, is it just like it is.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Awful when you just feel like you have not had
any sleep, and then a baby is crying and they
can't tell you why. So you change them, you feed them,
you pat them, you're loving them, you're rocking them, and
you just can't get them to stop. Ledger was actually
having one of these moments while I was trying to

(31:26):
watch this movie.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Oh really, No, he.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Would not let me put him down.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I had so between all the crying of the voiceovers
of the babies in this movie, my kid crying in
my ear.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I was really not enjoying any of it.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I had to stop and come back to it until
someone could come get him because he just was not
letting me, you know, I mean, he was in it
just because again he can't talk.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I fed him, I got I gave him something for
his teeth.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
He's teething right now. Nothing was working. Sometimes it's just
you feel so helpless because you just can't figure it out.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
You know when their teething. Aren't you supposed to is?
It was from the eighteen hundreds. You dip a rag
in bourbon and then you put the bourbon in their mouth.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
That's like you can do that. I have not had
to just yet.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Thank god.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm guessing you're dipping rags in bourbon and putting them
in your own mouth, is what's.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Happening, toy we try and joining a nice glass of
wine to like calm down.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I have not done that yet.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
There's a lot of little small things, tablets that dissolve
liquids you put in you can wet a little a
little rag, throw it in the freezer, get it cold,
and they can just like no on that. There's certain
things like that I haven't resulted, thankfully to the teequila
or bourbon trick that I have heard about.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
It works like a charm, all right, and I'm out.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
And you're done teeth great. Next time you're cranky, I'll make.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Sure, so please trust me.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Freezer is nothing but bourbon soaked towels, so don't worry
about it. Jamie eventually does agree to join the art club,
and in a very funny scene, the art teacher, out
of nowhere, hands or a picture he draws of her
wearing a shirt that says art club rocks.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, And it made me.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Think it was a little weird that the teacher's drawing
pictures of his students.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, when did it happen? Was he sitting there? I
was like, when did he do that? I think, so
he's sitting there and I didn't realize that he was
sitting dry, not even looking at the drawing, just doing
it while he's having this conversation. And then in boom,
yeah he's wearingly bigtails she is, So he might have
just done it.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, he sketched it out.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
He seemed like a great teacher until a little bit later,
and we'll get into this. Then it was like, what
are you kidding me? But exactly so, her parents are
obviously having a very rough time. They're staying up, they
have the diapers, aren't working. Fiona quits and the kids
seem bad, but it doesn't seem awful. But she's got
one kid in her back thing holding two other kids,

(33:59):
and she's like, I can't take it, and she leaves
those contraptions.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
She was holding the kids in the very multiple baby Yes,
it's like very confusing. There's no way those babies were
staying in.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
There, agreed, really weird. And then just when we think
things are at their lowest, who shows up? Jackal Judson,
Jackle Johnson. Albert shows up with a truckload of diapers,
and he wants to make the Quins the face of
the brand and pay them and turn their fame into money,
even after one of them peas on him.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
You gotta have a good kid piece on you, Joe.
The deal helps them tremendously.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Even though she'll be completely left out of the story
and the ads, Jamie is is okay with it because
now she finally gets some of the freedom that she wanted.
She she can now do her art class. She doesn't
have to hide anything from her parents. It's not even hiding.
She like literally sometimes is like, hey, I'm doing a
class and they ignore her and she's like okay, I
told you, well, there you go, which is very funny.

(34:55):
But she's getting very very good at art. She enjoys it.
It's apparently, you know, this talent that she's had. Her
parents are still terrible with the kids. They're not remembering
the kid's name, and it's Jamie that needs to remind
them how to hold the babies and that the babies
are go ahead and try to put them back in
their right I mean, there's not good parents.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, I mean, just the fact that she would think.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
That she could switch the babies up and that the
parents have no idea.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
And they didn't at first, I know, should have.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Been a big red flag for the parents, going, maybe
we're not doing this so well you think.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
But now this is all this is all post getting
the the indoors too, so they've got money coming in
at this point and they still don't know how.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
To hold their children.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
So yeah, it was very strange, but they're they're also
now really neglecting Jamie. And the dad admits that they
have no plan, so they don't know how to take care.
They set it up to where he working all the
time that he has to try to afford the stuff for.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
The taking extra shifts and everything the mom.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
While they don't show her drinking, I imagine she is
because the character is very strange at this point. So
I guess my question is they're ignoring the oldest child
and not doing well with the other five. Are these
the worst decom parents we've seen so far?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Because it's both of them.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah, they're doing this. Yes, it's not just one that's
kind of, you know, just not the greatest. It's literally
both of them just not drop it every ball dropping.
They can't.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
They're not even doing really one part of any of them.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Like they're still they're focus.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
They're so focused on being great with the five kids
that they neglect Jamie.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
That would have made sense, but they're not. They didn't even.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Pick one to say that kid's going to college, let's
raise this one and the other four will fend for themselves.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Nothing. It was just they were kind of just bad
parents all the way around.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
So, in true Grover.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Fashion, they completely miss her parent teacher conference because the
Quinns have a commercial shoot the next day, which again
put it on a calendar. He says, I thought I
wrote it on my calendar. I I even write stuff
on a calendar. They stand her up, leaving her alone
and just her genius friend is there, who also we
find out, has really neglectful parents to the point.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Where they never show up. Yeah, I mean this poor kid.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
They hint to it early on in the movie, and
then this is when you really see and he's trying
to say, who cares?

Speaker 3 (37:36):
You do it for yourself?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Yeah, you know, which.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Is so sad.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
I know, this poor kid is self sufficient, is like
a nine eleven year old self.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
So it's like, I'm good, I got yeah with missus
with his vest that I'll talk about later.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
But he's so yeah, that's what he says. He's like,
they never show up. But then it's really never really
mentioned again. It could have started its own spin off
movie about another neglectful fan neglectful genius family. But to
make up for being so for missing the parent teacher conference,
they promised Jamie spot in the very big commercial that
they're going to shoot the next day, but she won't

(38:13):
come out of the truck because she finds out that
they have to dress her in a diaper and she's
going to dance behind her brothers and sisters, and so
she quits and for the record, when I was texting
with Kimberly yesterday, I was like, so I just finished
quints and the first thing she wrote was, oh, great, you.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Got to see me in a giant diaper?

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (38:29):
So yes her parents.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
So, first, her parents feel guilty that they missed the
parent teacher conference, so they put her in the ad,
which again she probably should have been in the family
ads from the start, but from the strip it was fine.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
And then they guilt her about not.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Wanting to be in the ad dressed like the giant diaper, like,
why aren't you taking one for the team.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
They are not the best.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
The second I saw if I saw Monroe and something
like that, No, baby, take that off right now. No,
absolutely not, absolutely not. You are not going to be
embarrassed like that, not for mommy, not for anything.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
No, how is it also not? Hey, the national campaign,
it's going to be these five babies. Okay if it's
just the babies, but you're also if you're putting the
parents in this is the family and there are six kids. Yes,
this is the six kids. We're not going to get
rid of one child for the It was so weird
to me.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Yeah, So Jamie is starting to realize that this isn't
all beer and skittles, as they used to say in
the thirties and forties.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Look it up. It's a real thing. She said.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
She thought the quins were going to make her life easier,
which seems like an insane thought, but also kind of
seems like a good teenage thought, where it's like they'll
be focused on that, so they won't focus on me
as much in my life will get easier.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
That's certainly not.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
What happened, and they've now screwed up her chance at
getting into the Science Magnet school. But even with this
in mind, her drawings of the Quins, which are good,
have been selected in the main exhibit of the school
art show. So she's super excited about that. You can't
wait to have her parents see her work on Saturday.
Her parents are actually proud of her. They're like, look,
we know it's not about science, but this is this

(40:10):
is great, Like they're starting to see Jamie again a
little bit. And even though it's not what they wanted
for the plan, which you've now heard a thousand times.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
It's you know, we've we've always just.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Wanted you to be happy, and it seems like the
art is making you happy.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yay parents, there you go.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Great.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Then diaper guy shows up, Jackal Johnson, diaper down shows
up Al and uh tells them that they were named
somehow after all that, somehow parents of the Year, and
there's a gallop for them with the governor, and the
invite says Saturday night. There's no date, it's just a
Saturday night. And of course that's the night of the

(40:56):
art show. Yes, And then Jamie loses it, and.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
This I felt bad for. She did seem great, she
did it great. She runs it just oh, just heart breaking, heartbreaking.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
So sad.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
She runs into school past her friends, goes right to
her drawings and starts to tear her drum as she's crying.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
She's doing she kimberly is so good. You feel just terrible.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
It's like you I can't.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
At the same time, she seems like she's starting to
lose it a little bit and is having a bit
of a breakdown herself. A lot of mental breakdowns in
this movie.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Like, I mean, think about how far that sprint had
to have been from man starts.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean the labor room to just the delivery room.
Whatever was three miles.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
She's running a ten k easy to break a sweat.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
She is running a mentally unbalanced ten k. Yeah, easily.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Poor thing though that that was pretty sad.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
That was like, yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
She's didn't even tell her parents that that this was
when the art show was her parents have already said,
we're so excited, we're going to the gala. By the way,
her parents assume they're just going to the gala by themselves.
Parents of the Year are going to the gala alone,
is the assumption.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Yes, which I didn't think was bad. But parents night
out why not? Yeah, but if.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
You're being voted parents of the Year, don't you think
that maybe some kids even I.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Would No, I would never assume with five month old kids,
especially I love them at a time you would want
them anywhere because there is zero chance I'm going to
be able to keep these five knock the leads quiet
during a gala. There's just that is not happening. So
I could see how the misunderstanding happened.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
But you know what a been easier is right at
the beginning, if they took three of the kids and
shipped them off to John Denver, because then they could
have been in the leftovers and it might have had
an easier time.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
They would have bigger rooms.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Yes, they would have had way bigger rooms, each one
to themselves.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Right.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
And just when we think the art loner vibe is
starting to work for Jamie, all of a sudden, she's
pulled out of school because one of the Quints, Adam,
was rushed to the ear with a very high temperature.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
She's obviously terrified, so are the parents.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
They get there and it is a good scene that
allows her to make up with her parents and kind
of explain that you've been really neglecting me, and also
the parents finally say they address it because the mom
finally says, I realized as I'm looking at the child
that it wasn't one of the quints that was sick.
It was Adam, like one of the the individual.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Kids, individual exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
And so they're starting to understand that she's feeling ignored
and the pressure of getting into the straight a's and
getting the science lab and all that stuff like that.
She wants me an artist. The parents again reiterate they
just want her to be happy, and that's when once
again Jackal Johnson shows up, tries to ruin the dead
by Brow and says sick Adam is really putting a

(44:12):
kink in their plants. He suggests finding a matching baby,
while Adam is outsick and that is a.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
Baby too far for baby, too far, baby, too far.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
For the breaker Baker. Oh, this guy is a big
old douche canoes trying to tell me.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Now here's a question if you got to vote douche Canoosh,
who's the bigger one?

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Is it Al or is it Jackal?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
By the way, by the way, we're changing it, and
they are twin brothers that have gone into well, it's
the same, they're right around the same time.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Yeah, I think it's Albert.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I think Albert.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Okay, not cool. That was awful.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Oh, I think Jackal Johnson changed his name and I
think he was. It was really Al and Jay were
the two were the two kids Alan, they were twins,
which makes perfect sense.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
We have just it's cannon. Yes, we've made it happen.
I agree with you. By the way, Al is the
bigger of the douche canoe.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
And then there we all of a sudden we're at
the Parents of the Year Galla with the governor Dad
not who does a lot of very dun knots things
and is disappointed when you realize that the Quints are
not at the event. The invitation clearly said you needed
to bring them, but as we know, the Grovers are
not so.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Good with do not read the fine print in any sense.
It's the first thing on the invitation. But you know,
they skip to Parents of the Year.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah, I think what they wanted to set up was
that with this many babies, it was just impossible to
be a good parent. You couldn't do it. And I
get that. I get that's where the writing wanted to go,
and that's what we're supposed to do. But set it
up that they were kind of good and then get overwhelmed.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
And you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
It's like she's great with one of the babies, but
then needs to hold the second one.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Like they show that scene with Jamie where she gets six.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Arms with all these different arms.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Yeah, they tried that with the mom character or the
dad character where they're each like trying to hold one
baby and all right, we're switching like they're good parents,
but they're just overwhelmed. Right, That makes more sense than
they never seem to be good parents, is the weird part.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
Yeah, it was just a writing thing. It was very
very strange.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Again, we say this a lot in the writing great cast, Yeah,
totally right, I mean it really was. There was not
a single performance in this movie. We're like, oh, that's
this is not They're not good, not right, No, this
is great, just needed a polish on, maybe the parents
being a little bit more printed. So Jamie realizes the

(46:39):
mistake while she's at home that the babies need to
be at the gala, and with the help of her
friends and the art teacher, they try to get the
quints there. Now they put them in the the art
teacher's van. Okay, yeah, the v DA five kids in
the old v dub and the van breaks down halfway through.

(47:00):
So then, of course, like a good teacher and a
good adult, he calls for a cab. He gets into
a cab with them, He leaves his van by the
side of the road, and he makes sure the babies
get No, not what happens at all.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
No, he sends them away on a bus, on a
public bus.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
You know what flew through my head.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
And I'm sure there are times where people, I'm sure
do take buses. How do you do that with a
car seat? Does it not matter. Do not have to
have the base for the car. The whole time that
my brain started spirally on that on the on the subway.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Lit I didn't grow up in a big city.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I took a public bus all the time. I took
a public bus all the time as a baby. Well, no,
I was older by that.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Did you ever see a baby on it?

Speaker 3 (47:42):
That?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
How somebody would get sure that can you just take
on I mean I.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
Think you can probably take on a car seat.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
But at the same time, I like to know what adult,
let alone, what teacher allows three middle schoolers and vast.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Babies thirteen fourteen year olds to navigate?

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Yeah, public public transportation like that? Because then a public
train with five babies. Yeah wait, that's where I was like,
you've got to be kidding me.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
You lost me, You lost me. Then the biker guys
come in.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Then there's a biker gang.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
First of all, these are like the most clean cut
biker looking at.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
The President stars.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
No, yours were actually scary looking, intimidating. These guys come
in with they're not they don't look like grungy. They
just start wearing biker what the typical you know, character
biker stuff, looks like but they.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Yeah, so they The biker gang then comes to the gala,
carrying the kids to don Not to DoD Not.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Which another wonderful parenting situation would your response to who
are these guys?

Speaker 2 (48:57):
What were you doing?

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Why did you take the babies anywhere?

Speaker 4 (49:00):
You doing here? I mean something, but nope, it was grateful.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Oh good, thank you.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
We needed them here.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Oh that's so great that you're here. We thought for
a minute you were all killed horribly. I mean, it's
just so strange. And then it ends with a montage
of a song that sounds like Hanson's Umbob and then
the babies are safely at the gala. The governor offers
the middle schoolers his limo, like you do, to anywhere
they want to go, and Jamie fools the audience thinking

(49:30):
they're going to get ice cream, but she actually goes
to the art show and she wins top prize. And
it was it was strange, But then lo and behold
her parents the quins died. Nuts and a ton of
other Galagoers show up at the art show and a
bunch of people in tuxedos are holding the babies. Now

(49:52):
the parents just gave the babies to a bunch of
the people at the gala. Just take my kid. Take
number four for me, strange biker person. You take number three,
Gali lady. And then the movie ends with Jamie not
attending the science school after all, and now she's happy.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
She's focused on art.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Her dad got a promotion, but he's still in school,
and she reveals her mom's pregnant again, this time with
seven babies. No way, that's a joke. She holds up
a paper that says, Maje look, and it was another
kind of line we ended on, and that was the end.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Of the movie.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
It was again, I Kimberly instantly a star. You could
tell she was going to be a star. She carried
this film. But I just didn't know what the movie was.
It was very discombobulated this one.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Right, And you know what character really confused a lot
of it was this teacher character who kind of kept
coming in with these lesson learning. Yeah really, but they
really never kind of transpired into anything. It was, you know,
you're trying to hold on to Okay, this is her
mentor this is this is the one that's helping because

(51:00):
the parents are again neglecting her. But then it kind
of you find something that you love. But then I
don't know, it was very I don't I he confused
me a.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Lot it was, Yes, it was.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
It was hard to follow, a lot of it was hard.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
It was hard to follow.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
And and the parents were such bad parents that it
was it kind of beyond the realm of possibility.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Bad parents.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, and again overwhelmed parents.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Totally understandable, that's right.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Five babies, mom constantly sleeping, you know, in the nursery.
I haven't showered in three days. Totally understandable.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
No, they didn't seem to.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Do that at all.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Perfect the whole movie.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yes, they were just bad. It wasn't that overwhelmed they were.
Let's get some real reviews, Sabrina. Let's start with the
five star. And I think I think you have the
five star this week.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
This one is mine.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
I'm pretty happy, So let's do it.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
I start n why horse Girl, I think this movie
was adorable.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Kimberly J.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Brown is an amazing actress and well known for her
role of Annie Wheaton in Rose Bread, which we didn't
mention that one.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
We did not. She's good, She's just good.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
And then in parentheses it says which I also recommend.
I expect to see many more good movies from this
young actress.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
I recommend seeing Quints.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
Yeah, I got by any way.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Other Quints could use a little polish, But all the
stuff about Kimberly I completely and.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Totally spot on, spot on.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Uh here's my one star. It's from Laughing Tomb.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
It says my friends forced me to watch old Disney
movies as I didn't really grow up on them, and
I can safely say that this film is perhaps the
worst disaster of the world had seen before nine to
eleven or up to that point. That's a little harsh,
and it's literally nothing but baby screaming and crying almost NonStop.
It's nauseating, boring and exhausting.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
Skip this on. It's just bad.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I don't agree with the harshness of that.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
That was really harsh, really hard laughing too laughing. However,
the amount of crying babies, I have to admit, gave
me a headache as well.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
So trying and you had a real crying baby and
making it.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
It was so bad.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
It's kind of kind of hitting the mark a little bit,
just maybe a little over the top, but it must
be a younger kid doing this.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
I think it's somewhere in the middle.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Yeah. Our feature this week, our fun, fun game that
we always play, is in celebration of one of the
very small scenes of this movie. Jamie her two best
friends near the end of the film do their tradition
of counting to three and revealing the grades they got
on the test, which I really like that like one, two, three,
we want as it was real. It was very cute
and out of nowhere. Before they count, Shadia as Zoe

(53:52):
decides to tell a joke, and it may be one
of the worst and most confusing dad jokes ever.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Here's the joke.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
She said, did you hear the one about the Eskimo
who died of cold cuts? He stabbed himself with an icicle. Okay,
it's kind of doesn't even make sense. It's it's again, you.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
Can't It's just one of these random things that happened.

Speaker 7 (54:12):
It just okay, yeah, random or you're just kind of
like all right, and that the problem is it also
kind of pulled back on a really fun part of
the movie, which is their their little rituals.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Great.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
However, I would have by this time assumed they would
have kicked their genius friend out of the tradition. Clearly
getting straight a's.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Getting is all the time. Dude, go over there, over there.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
After we're done, when we open ours, you can come back.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
You can go by the way.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
We have b's and c's because you're ruining the curve.
Everybody knows that. But so here's the thing. We found
a poll online that lists both the best and the
worst dad jokes. And we're going to read a joke,
and we have to decide which list is found on.
The joke is found on, whether the best or the worst. Now,
once again, as always, Sabrina and I have no idea.

(55:02):
We truly don't are only our producers know this. We
don't know what it is. So here we go. Let's
see is this on the best dad joke list or
the worst dad joke list?

Speaker 4 (55:11):
So here's the first one. What does a sprinter eat
before a race? Nothing?

Speaker 1 (55:15):
They fasts, laughing like it's the greatest jokes you've ever heard.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Oh my gosh, that is so funny.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
I purposely don't read these right because I don't want
my brain to think about this too much, because just
just too good of a Do.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
You think do you think that's on the best or
worst list?

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I think it's on the best.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
I'm going to agree. I think that's that's clever. I'm
gonna say it's on the best list.

Speaker 8 (55:48):
Yes, I mean, I don't know if this is a
sign for the game, but it's on the worst list.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Oh. For one, okay, they fast, I.

Speaker 8 (56:03):
Did love it. I did love it.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Number two okay, I want to hear a joke about construction.
I'm still working on it.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
That's and and my my father in laws in construction,
so I'm going to actually give this one for him
to use. But it's pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
You say it's on the worst list.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Yeah, that that's gotta be.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
I'm gonna say it's on the best list because I'm
going to just vote against Sabrina because sometimes that makes
me win.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Let's see.

Speaker 8 (56:32):
Unfortunately that is on the worst list.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Also, it is.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Gonna be one of those things where they're all on
the worst list. Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Number three, why did the math book look so sad
because of all of its problems?

Speaker 3 (56:46):
That seems like something a little kid would say.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Okay, that's the worst.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
That's gotta be on the worst.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
I'm gonna stick with worse now too, what is it?

Speaker 8 (56:55):
Oh no, that's on the best list. What No, listen,
this is this is all opinion based. But you're wrong.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Yeah, you're wrong.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Okay, you're wrong. Oh that's funny. We're over three. Number four.
Did you hear about the kidnapping at school? It's fine,
he woke up like that one.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Sorry, gets ahead while you're reading.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Like, let's say best.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Let's say I'm gonna say best.

Speaker 8 (57:26):
Oh yeah, there's no way that was on the worst.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
That's one of the Yes, we got one.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
That's a good one.

Speaker 8 (57:31):
All right.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
And finally number five in February March.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
No, but April May it's gotta be the worst.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Yes, that's a given worst. That's that's the worst. We're
two for five. Okay, there you go. Wow, once again
keeping us on our toes. Oh man, can we do
some Sabrina Seas?

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Yes. So obviously we've talked about that these kids had.
There was you know, you said twenty babies, you know
that they that were on set. But I also did
you find moments where it looked like they were using
dolls that they weren't real babies at all? I felt

(58:14):
when they were all bolding them.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, these babies, by the way, were cute.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
I will say, there's many shows out there that have babies,
and they're not always the cutest little babies. I know
they have to find twins a lot of times, but
you know, anyway, these babies were really adorable. I thought
all of them were so cute that they used but
there were moments where real or not. I really was
focusing on it because some of the babies that you
can get, the doll babies are really great looking and

(58:43):
they move a little bit around but creepy. Yeah, but
they do use them a lot because of the same thing.
Like we said, they can only be used for fifteen minutes.
And there's definitely when she was doing the seven arms,
those were not babies. Those were all dolls, you know,
when when the dolls are in her weird contraptions that
she was slinging all over those world. So there was

(59:04):
just a lot of moments where I was kind of going, gosh,
sometimes I can't even tell some of these babies that
you know, I will say that of course I've got
down Jackal Johnson. Good to see him, you know, working
go yes, And then I did my last little one.
I didn't have a lot, because again I was so confused.

(59:26):
It was like I didn't even really know what to
write down sometimes. But one of the things that I
will say is the dad just adding again that these
parents are just so awful, completely makes her art exhibit
about him. He mentions earlier in the movie that he
really was into photography. She wasn't sure why because he

(59:47):
was a terrible photographer, and that he's very kind of artsy.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
It's sort of mentioned, and then when she talks about.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Her show, her art show exhibit that she's gonna be,
you know, highlighted at, he's, oh, my.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Little bit baby gets my art gene type of thing.
That's like what he's talking about. I'm like, Dad, you're
the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
This is when I gave That was my moment of
I give up on you. I give up completely. My
hands are in there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
You were just to give you something. I tried to
give you something.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Yes, now I just can't. And then again I had
to write down again We've already talked about it, but
I was heartbroken for this little one as she was
ripping I got a little teary eyed when she was
ripping up her art. That was so sad, you know,
finally finds a real passion and not supported by her parents,
and that's just yeah, yeah, that's thanks, pretty big bummer.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
That is a bummer. And now we got to rate
the movie, as you know we do every week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
We one is not so good, ten is wow, that's
really good.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
And in the middle is where the middle is. Everybody
knows that. And so we got to figure out how
we're gonna, uh, how we're gonna do this week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Our options this week are art class freakouts, juice face
back one out of ten, dads pretending they're tired when
their wife is giving birth. Yeah done, nuts cameos one
out of ten, quitting Irish nannies, or one out of
ten handsome bop doupes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
What do you like? Oh? I think we gotta give
Don Knott's cameos. H yeah done nut cameo. Yeah, we
got to give him a shining light for even being
in this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I think it was pretty cool to seek.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
I agree with you, and I also think that you
went first last time. If so, I will go first
this time. This is a tough one. What this could
arguably have been my lowest rated one ever, or close
to it, were it not for kimber because again, when
you get a young actor that age, who's in every scene,

(01:01:53):
who's talking to the camera, who's going from that kind
of connection with the audience to then into the scene
and then sometimes back to the connect and I mean
there were some scenes where they had to time all
the acting out properly to where she's giving a monologue
to the camera as somebody else is coming in and
then she's going right into dialogue with them. So she
saved this movie from being the worst rated movie for

(01:02:13):
me of all time that were so far, I should say,
because she was so good. Yes, I am gonna give
this a five point five.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Don knots cameras. Yeah, this movie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Again they made the parents just such bad parents, and
there was a lot of I didn't this the through
line of the story didn't make a whole lot of
sense to me. It really kind of didn't right. But
again you saw right away. I hate to tell this
because I know Kimberly well, but I'm not well. But
I know Kimberly and I'm waiting. I've been waiting purposely

(01:02:49):
to see Halloween Town. And so when you get her,
you know, an actor of that quality in a movie
that everybody says is phenomenal, like wait till you see
Halloween Town like that. I can't wait to see that combination.
And you saw sparks of that here where she just
carried this movie. So she saved this movie in my opinion.
So I I give it a five point five to

(01:03:10):
a soft six. Got God's cameos, that's my.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Mind that I am actually right there with you. Five
point five. Not as good of a six, but not
worse again, because Kimberly did just such a great job
in this. Like you said, it is not only hard
for the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Actor to do what she was able to do, but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
Hard for the audience to appreciate and like going in
and out of that because sometimes you see it done
and it's like it's stop talking to me, you know.
So she did such a phenomenal job. But again, there
was times where I stopped caring about the movie because
it was so confusing and just felt random things thrown in,

(01:03:56):
you know, random conversations that really seem to know, not
go anywhere with the teacher, why do I you know,
just certain things that just kind of again, and I
didn't like the freeze frames. They did it a couple
of times those really I really didn't like those, but
yeah five five point five don knotts?

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Okay, yes, I love it for okay, well, thank you
everybody there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
You have it.
