Freaky Friday (2003): Body-Swap Comedy and Disney Nostalgia

0:01 Anna, Honey, wake up, I have had it. What I'm ready for the Coleman family. Mondays are mannic. My honey, make good choices. Wednesdays are wild. And for Anna and Tess cares never enough time to really understand each other. What time's up. On Friday? You think my life is perfect? You couldn't last one day in my high school. Look you, that's all about to change, because things are going to get a little freaky. Why am I in Anna's room?

0:46 This isn't mine? Those aren't mine. That's definitely not mine. What Disney Pictures present? So you're in my body and. I'm in your body. Oh, I beg your pardon. I'm like the crip flaper Freaky Friday. What don't we like? Yes? A jult. Coming soon to Disney DVD and video. In a world where podcasts reign supreme. Two Friends dare to ask? Do you even? Movie?

1:33 Hosted by filmmaker Enrique Kuto and movie aficionado David de Noyer. Spoiler alert, Mmm, have you? Uh? I was gonna make some kind of a joke. Yeah, but honestly I'm a little grouchy. Yeah, understandable with everything's going on. You mean your life. I mean, it's it's really just the drugs. Dad.

2:18 Yeah, I mean you and I have both your your week's been up in the mine that I also have been having some fun stuff going on this week too, So I think I think we're both kind of to a point where it's just like we're not We're not where. It's not that we're we're gonna push through the show just to get it done, but I think both of us are just kind of like we're here now. Well. I mean, I mean I found out I have a chronic illness that's permanent, which is new. Yeah, somewhat, Yeah, nothing like it's This is what sucks about medical shit, David, is the instinct is to say it's nothing serious, yet it's something that I'll need to have to treat for like my entire life, and I'll regular blood tests. So like, I hate that my instinct is to say nothing serious just because it's likely not deadly. And but not that I'm mad about. I mean, I'm annoyed by the ailment, but that's just life. I mean, you get older, you get you get stuff. You gotta live with it. And I knew I had a high risk I have I have you know, thyroid disease. Yeah, I found out last Wednesday that my blood test came back in. My doctor was like, we've been watching your thyroid and it's it's a lemon. So I had not been experiencing many symptoms that I'm aware of, but I started taking a synthetic hormone to balance my thyroid and it's made me sick

3:49 for days on end, feeling feeling weird. Yeah. Yeah, it takes it takes up to up to ninety days for it to completely balance in your system. More of about a month, and you're pretty much where you're supposed to be because they have to then do another blood test and see if I'm getting enough, and if not, they have to give me more, which I suppose is nice that I don't have to do like and how are you feeling? Follow up, because that's a lot harder. At least it's numbers. At least they can look at my blood test and be like, this says your numbers are good, how do you feel? And I'm like, I guess I'm fine, So I guess it doesn't I guess that's where we're at, you know, as we'll just keep doing that. But you know, it wasn't a thrilling thing to find out, but it's been.

4:34 But I was just more lamenting on how annoying that is to well, no, to say it's nothing serious, which I get, Like, I guess the instinct of saying something is not serious is that it won't kill you, or at least not immediately. But then I stop and thinking, I'm like, it's nothing serious. It's just like I'll just have to be medicated for the rest of my life for it. And then I'm like, that sounds serious ish, you know, like it's not as bad as like type one diabetes, where you know, without your insulin and your blood sugar checkups, you could die and it will likely shorten your lifespan. This probably won't well, see, this is why medical stuff sucks, David, because I could say, like, it won't shorten your lifespan, except having untreated thyroid disease can lead to elevated blood pressure. Elevated cholesterol could lead to your death. Yeah, So it's just one of those things.

5:29 And I guess, you know, being almost forty, I'll be thirty nine in like a couple months. Yeah, it's just one of those things. I'm kind of like figuring out, and I'm kind of like learning the operating procedure of is like, Okay, I got a medicine I need to take now. Without it, I can still be functional. But there are lots of problems. I used to have this problem with digestion that I thought was just getting older, which in a way, it is if your thyroid dies on you, this is true. But like I would eat a big meal at like six o'clock at night and still feel uncomfortably full at like midnight or whatever, when most of your body should have your digestion should have emptied out, I would still feel full. Well, I feel like this is not an interesting topic for you. Do what I feel like you're I feel like you're not super engaged on it. It's not that I just It's all I was saying, is it slows your digestion down.

6:31 So it doesn't just slow your metabolism. It literally slows the digestion of food. Therefore food sits in your stomach longer. Therefore you could experience constipation, indigestion, all these things related to that. That's all I was getting at. So it's one of those things that where was like, oh, I thought that was just a normal part of getting older is like, oh, I just suck at eating, which you would be shocking because you know, I've never had a problem with food. I've always enjoyed food. So I don't know, but it's a solid kick in the mortality reminder. I could see that. I could definitely see that. So, yeah, I've been dealing with a feeling really really hot, yeah, and then oh and just feeling hungrier than I've ever felt in my life. Like this has got to be the closest thing to being a werewolf I've personally experienced, because all of a sudden, it was just like you put a plate of food in front of me and I would It was like it wasn't that I would sit there like give me food, give me food, give me food. It was more like, once the food was in front of me, I was like almost I was like holding back moans. I was so happy to be eating because I was so hungry, sweating because my metabolism was revving, and then getting really irritable and tired when my metabolism would tank because all these hormones are just in my body, and my body's like we don't what like we're used to this amount and now we have this.

7:52 So the the hunger thing is the funniest one, just because they warn you when you take when you start taking synthetic hormone like this, particularly, that you'll probably lose like ten pounds pretty quickly. Yeah, and I'm like, cool, that'd be nice because I'm eating like a goddamn pig. I can't stop thinking about like how I'm gonna eat the hell out of every plate of food I can get my hands on. So so yeah, it's been it's been interesting. But I've been telling Rachel when she would make comments about this, I was like, hey, you know, I'm dealing with a lot of hormonal changes, so I'll be remembering this for when menopause comes along for you. So you treat me mean, we'll see how I feel when you start having your hot flashes. But yeah, so it's it's uh, it's been an experienced. Now I'm at the phase where I'm mostly just tired, which is lame because I actually been having really good energy for the last few weeks. Man, I'm sweating like a pig as now.

8:53 Well, yeah, it's hot here already and you're already sweating as it was too. Yep. But that all being said, if you want some of my hormone just for like recreational I totally understand. I'm sure you could grind up, grind up the synthetic hormone and stored it in storage Jesus. So, but uh no, it's been so it's been an interesting week. It's been interesting. It's it's been today, today's day six of the medicine. Yeah, and and it's been a week in a day since diagnosis. So uh yeah, Because you have to take this as a very like finicky pill. You have to take it on a totally empty stomach, and then you have to wait a minimum of an hour before eating after taking it, so you really have to like take it like the second you wake up, and you have to take it roughly the same time every single day or else it could throw off your balance. So it's like that's a pain in and of itself. Imagine because I already had medication.

9:50 I took first thing in the morning, and now I have to like scooch everything over and if I want to sleep in still got to wake up to take the pill and then I can sleep. Yeah, and then at that point it can kind of fuck that up too. M Maybe I sleep like a rock. Once I am asleep, I just sleep. There's time like it's it's not rare for me to wake up and then go back to sleep, but it's more so there's times where it's just like I have the opportunity to sleep in, and my biological clock will wake. Me up just because say it's time to get pregnant. How to get pregnant exactly will wake me up, And it's just like then I I have all the options to sleep in and cannot get back to sleep. Like that happens to me on Saturdays a lot because I used to work for Saturdays for five years.

10:31 Oh yeah, yeah, I don't have that problem so much because I don't really have a set wake up time every day. I mean I do, but I don't so if I sleep and I sleep, and but I also don't sleep in more than an hour. Yeah, Like I can't remember the last time, outside of like an all night movie marathon that I did I slept till eleven. I was gonna say, yeah, I normally nine to nine to ten or what is what I can get to you anymore? If I sleep past that, it's usually the exactly like I've been out late that night or whatnot, went to bed late. As opposed to what when you go to bed? What early? I mean when I go to bed? When when when I go to bed when I'm supposed to. I feel like you that's a that's a struggle. Uh not as much as it better.

11:11 I'm really fare. Yeah, yeah, dude, No, once I started. Once I started like actually, like I've said before on the show, like laying down on my bed or just being in my room by like ten o'clock, it's there hasn't been a lot of times lately I've been seeing midnight hit like I've. Actually realized that's great. Yeah, I've been having trouble like actually staying awake sometimes because like, uh, my usual routine now is I'll usually go in and pop either something I've seen a thousand times, whether it's TV show or a movie on and if I make it through to a second one, then I'll put something on and usually like take my glasses off, like turn the lights off, and like try to you know, just fight. A couple of candles exactly. But no, but yeah, no, I've been trying. I've been trying really hard. To at least be. Bedtime ready after ten. But I mean it doesn't happen all the time. But I mean, for the most part, it's it's definitely been helping a lot.

11:55 That's great, no, because I knew for a while you were going to bed so late and oh yeah. And that was also going through a breakup and whatnot to so there was also that involved as well. Well. But I mean, but even this was like two months ago. Oh, talking about it, Okay, I just want to I just want to mention, like, I mean, I just know you've been dealing with it. Yeah, so it I mean, it comes and goes. But no, I mean it's it's basically like the best way I can put it is if I if I commit to it obviously, then you know I can stay on that schedule and get used to it and whatnot. But I mean there's absolutely times where it's just like I'm not tired. It doesn't matter if I'm laying better not if it doesn't matter if I'm hitting movie three by this point, Like I'm just I'm not tired. You're really not tired. It happens, are you defiant? No, Literally, like I can I can lay on my bed, close my eyes and like because normally, if I put on a podcast and like to have something to listen to, listening to something will lull me to sleep way quicker than like just having like ambiance to the TV, or even the lighting of the TV for that matter, because it can just be too bright. Sometimes if I go and put a podcast on or some kind of some YouTube video or whatnot, just to like listen to and whatnot, usually I'm wanting to listen to it, so I'm trying to stay awake and listen to it, and that's when I can fall way easier. So that's usually where it flows between.

13:04 See, I would assume that usually when you have trouble going to sleep, that it's it's because you have that revenge sleep time procrastination going on. I can also, I mean, there can be that, but it can also be genuinely just stressed too. Oh well, that's what causes that. Because so for those who don't know, I mean, I know you and I have talked about it a little bit, But revenge sleep time procrastination, there are few other names it goes by, is basically the desire to stay up after you're tired in order to basically regain control is the psycho the psychotherapy term. Yeah, but what you feel like is you're like, well, I worked a long day, so I deserve to watch this movie, or I deserve to watch a show, or I deserve to whatever. And in reality, it's like you're getting revenge on your day for taking up all your free time.

13:49 Well, and what I had to realize too was there there was starting to be a bit of a routine of me just I would be in it be just me in the living room on my couch, and you know, by this point, it's like eleven thirty midnight sometimes and I would just literally lay my head back like I was like shutting my eyes, like resting my eyes on one and I'm just like, why am I not going into my room? Like why am I just crashed out here on the couch. And it was just because I was like it was just like I wasn't fighting it. I wasn't gonna whollo if I move then I might wake myself up. Now I've actually started putting myself in my room, which if I crash out, we're good. Sure, Well it's important. Like I'm a big believer in like I don't like to do like anything in my bedroom except sleep. Yeah, because it makes it that it makes my brain understand that's the space to sleep. Yeah, you know it's time to sleep if I'm in here.

14:35 I don't even like to watch television beyond noise in the background when I go to sleep, and I try to like push myself that, like the living room is where you hang out to relax, and then the moment you feel sleepy, drag your ass to the you know, the bedroom room. And I find that that's another thing where I feel like that might for me. When I kept crashing in the living room, it was sleep time procrastination because I'd be like I'd be getting tired of like I want to finish this movie, don't care, and then you just fall asleep watching the movie in place as opposed to like, now that it's gotten a bit better, although sometimes I still I still fall Oh there's there's nights. That I can literally rewind four times because I fall asleep each time before I call it quits. Yeah, now if I open as AA, what happened? I just turned the TV off and go to bed Like I don't I don't try any more.

15:22 Well, and luckily what's helped me out with this week, even though it's not necessarily help, but it's just the circumstance of things is. On Tuesday, I threw my back out bending down to my dryer to take clothes out. So that was awesome. Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna get to that old man back of years. Yeah. And so because of the fact that I've needed both like the heating pad and to lay flat for the last couple of nights, I've had to be on my bed because if I sit on my couch, I can't, like I'm I'm long, six foot two, Like, I can't lay on my couch comfortably. I have a heating pad on me and still like be flat as I can in my bed. Well, so I know you've had a bad back for a while. I'm pretty young guy for a back back, did you injure it like substantially as.

16:04 No, I think I think it's always been my shit poster. I mean, that's that's literally what it's always been. I I started getting serious back issues when I was first starting with the radio station, So it was would have been like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. Oh, you were like that'd be like mid twenty Yeah, because that was. That was like twenty two or twenty three, because that's when I went to a chiropractor. And I actually saw chiropractor for about a year until he literally retired while I was still from. Seeing your back. He was, he was like, this is enough for me? How coming, Julie? He had been he literally so when he when he did the X ray initially and like showing my spine, my spine had stair steps to it, like that was the problem was that it had it had basically like gotten so out of out of whack that it was not able to straighten out. So I had to restraighten my spine, which he ended up doing luckily. So that helped immensely. And that's also what got me to start sleeping without as many pillows as I used to do.

16:57 I used to have, Oh were you like sleeping on like two four or. Not for like like two to three max your head not under my head. They were on the bed, but usually like I had two on top of each other, or like I had one with like my arm underneath it. Whereas he showed me that I had to lay flat, like you had to lay flat, You had to lay on your side. You not lay on your back, not lay on your front, like lay on your side and lay as flat as you can with your neck as flat as you can, because that's gonna help it. You mean, straight, straight, straight as Okay, I get what you're saying that. Yeah, so yeah, that helped im mentally. So I mean what has kind of kicked it back up is a combination of I I'm no stranger to sleeping on my couch, and I probably shouldn't. It's not a good I mean, unfortunately, when when me and my ex broke up, she had the bed, so I had to wait a little about about a month to get a bed.

17:46 How chivalrous. Yeah, so and that face says it all. No, it was more so literally it was her bed and I sold my bed in the yard sale. That we had had. Oh yeah, yeah, so there was that and then uh, you know, it was just it was just a combination of things. So I think within the last couple of years, especially, like it's just kind of weired its head a little bit more. I haven't had like a serious injury like this in a while. I mean it like my roommate went to pop my back after I had like cause I had didn't know right away that I thrown out. I was just like, oh, like I thought i'd twisted it or like pinster or whatnot. Then I realized like I really couldn't like almost move and so he had to pop my back, which wasn't probably the best idea because then after that it was just like, oh no, like I'm I need to go like lay flat like on my back right now with the heating pad because I can't move my neck like it was.

18:33 It was rough. So luckily the last couple of days to have been able to take a couple muscle relaxers. I've been able to have my brace on, which is what I have on right now, so it's getting a little bit better. But yeah, it's been uh not great. I feel like you threw your back out maybe five months ago. It would have been in twenty twenty four, really, I think so, because well, when I feel like. There was one in like January or maybe it was November. It might have been November. Trying to remember there was there was something. I feel like I was helping a friend move maybe or something along those lines. I can't remember I did something, but yeah, I can't remember who it was at the beginning of this year or end of last year. But yeah, no, I mean it was it was within like the last six seven months, I want to say.

19:15 So, Yeah, well I did when we first started podcasting together, especially when we started doing video with it, I did notice your posture for the first time. One of my favorite stories from realizing how bad my posture was was I was getting my physical to run track when I was in high school or might have been tailing in junior high and the doctor had come in and I was reading my book and he was just like, you know, okay, well, you know, we're gonna do a couple of tests and whatnot. And he just goes to like push me, and like I'm bending over like reading my book at this point, and he just pushes me, and like I immediately like gain like almost like fucking five inches. Just that's a hell of a slouch. Yeah, so it was pretty bad. That's a hell of a slouch. So I've gotten better and I've become more aware of the problem is is that I'm somebody that can literally sit in a chair a stool and just like bendo like this, because I just that's natural for me to like slouch like that.

20:04 Gee, that's a hell of a slouch too, Like uh yeah, wow, yeah, see, I at my age one of the few things I haven't dealt with a lot. I've had two times in my life that I slipped a disk or something in my back and they were in the last two or three years, and that's it. Otherwise I've never had anything beyond like you know, a nit nerve pinch or something. Yeah, And I'm very thankful for that because it hurts well. And normally I'm smarter when it comes to when it comes to bending or even just like you know, trying to pick something up, I usually will do it with bending my knees, going my legs first more than my back. But you know, you just get into a habit of doing things sometimes. And it's just that I was beening down on the driver to close and.

20:45 That was Is that a tall guy problem too? Oh yeah yeah, tall people unfortunately have a lot. Of back issues. Should have taken orchestra that would have made just sit up straight straight rest of your goddamn life. That's why I I for real, like I didn't realize it until like maybe three or four years ago, that every chair I sit and I sit like this. I'm I'm straight up because an orchestra, I mean they they they beat into you sometimes almost literally, they would beat into you. Your posture had to be perfect, and not just while you were playing. When you when you set your violin down, you had to you had to be upright. Yeah, so that when you pop it up, they would It was the whole deal. Oh. One of my all time favorite things now is literally just laying on the floor like what, I what what What's called floor time, which is just literally laying flat on the floor.

21:30 For watching the ceiling spin. Oh, it's the best, like it? Well that was more college but. But yeah, no, I mean it's uh, it's it's getting better. I think the last couple days haven't been too bad. But that initial first night I luckily did sleep easy, so that was nice at least. But yeah, I know it fucking hurt. Yeah, well tough ship. Yeah that's fair. I literally couldn't think of anything to say, so I was like, well, I guess just be mean. Uh so before we jump in, Yes, we did just get back from seeing Together. We did indeed, which I didn't realize its release day was the middle of this week instead of the weekend. I actually caught it, like really new. I had friends see it like three weeks ago, so I thought, it's like you and I talked about in the car, like I thought we'd missed it or I thought we were going.

22:16 Were they friends in New York? Yes, yeah, yeah, because they go to preview screen diashit. Yeah, they do that out there, because don't ever forget that. They don't think we're people. We're just a bunch of pigfuckers who happened to pay to buy all their movie tickets. What what you don't understand? You're from a flyover state, a flyover state. I'll never forget small small side. There was a guy I'm not going to say his name. If you ever meet me in person, i'll say his name, musician, alt music guy. And he was one time talking about touring or something, and he mentioned how boring it was this was on the East coast, how boring it was going to like Wisconsin or any flyover state or whatever. And I literally was like, hey, you know what people in like small town America can do. They could fix cars, they can perform open heart surgery, they can feed thousands upon thousands of people with farms. But thank god you could play guitar and dye your fucking hair black, Like, thank fucking god that they have you to be there better, Thank God. And my favorite thing about that exchange was that he like laughed and then I didn't.

23:38 It was really no, that's the best part because he was like and I was like, yeah, no, I can definitely see that. Thank God, Thank goodness gracious that you exist to play silly songs in your stupid guitar. So all I'm saying is, yes, sub human, that's us. So anyway, so together. Michael Shank's new movie, written and directed by him. His first person movie. Yeah, first feature, and this is the one that stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie about a couple that move into a new area and start realizing that there's something going on with their bodies. That they're fusing together when they touch. Yeah, and then some they don't fuse together when they're not touching good. They I mean they they they magnetize each other a couple of times.

24:23 That's different than fus Yeah it is. But now I genuinely enjoyed this had I had a great time with it. It grossed me out multiple times. Yeah, I feel like you were a little squeam more squeamish than normal today, because there were a few times you were just like, really, I think it was because. Like the trailers had shown like not all the stuff obviously, but they shown they shown a good amount of it, and I guess it was just like I knew what the movie was primarily going to be about. I guess I just didn't realize like how quickly we were going to get into it. And it was only super quick ninety seven minutes. Yeah, so I mean they they were not screwing around ninety two or ninety two it was. It was under one hundred minutes. Yeah, No, it was under two hours. Yeah, so I mean substantially under two hours. So yeah, it cooked along really well. I felt like they established things very well. I thought the pacing was excellent. Yeah.

25:11 I thought the characters were believable. Yeah, I really The ending was un satisfying. Yeah, really really enjoyed overall the build up to how how it started out small. I mean we literally start in that cave, you know, with the first thing that happens, and then just kind of gradually and gradually got more and. More fucked up. Oh yeah, no, No, the escalation is really fascinating. Yeah. I thought that the dark humor was done well enough to not in any way take you out of the horror. Minimal characters too obscenely minimal. Yeah, basically once the characters because they leave I think they were in Seattle, Yeah, and they moved to the country. And once they move out to the country, I mean pretty much three fourths of the cast listed in the movie are just in those opening scenes where they have a bunch of friends around and stuff. Everybody else is just there's just not a lot of people around.

26:02 No, And I mean and that what I liked about that aspect of it was it allowed it to not have that thing that it's you know, it's a trope and I understand why they have it, but like that whole thing of like people not believing them or like going to get expertise and just like, oh, I think there's something else going on, and we didn't have any of that. Well, yeah, we did well, I mean we didn't like not not with somebody else. The doctor, the doctor that Franco goes to, we went to a one scene, but it did. Not think what he said was happening. Yeah, but I mean that was but that was that was I'm saying like that was one like it wasn't a big thing like that was. That was literally the first thing. I had no problem with that scene. It's just I just want to put out like we did have that it just it wasn't it. Didn't feel like it because that was the one instance at that point. Well sure, yeah, I mean I'm just saying we did have a moment where somebody didn't believe. Yeah, somebody about it.

26:47 But I'm I'm more what I'm saying more so is we didn't have the whole that being a whole central element of it to where it was just like it took a while for people to actually believe, is my point. Well, No, the the big problem was him convincing his wife that it was happening. Yeah. So no, I mean actually most of the film is him being aware of what's happening and she denying. It felt like it was a lot quicker. Well, it was only a ninety two minute movie. No, I know, That's what I'm saying. It just it felt a lot quicker in regards to it didn't have that whole disbelief element with it. Well, I mean it ends by the third act there obviously both entirely and entangled literally and somewhat figuratively. But no, no, I mean, I'm not. That's not me trying to crap on the movie at all, just because those elements were there, I thought they were done pretty damn well. It's I mean, you know, spoilers. It's an allegory for love and marriage and commitment and sharing and all of that, which is what makes the film very strong and interesting. It didn't get bogged down in a bunch of needless shit. It didn't go crazy with you know, spectacle or mystery. It just it just presented and it kind of unfurls at a at a pretty reasonable pace, and I didn't feel like anybody made any really stupid choices, which helped a lot because the movie it immediately reminded me of was Bring Her Back. I mean, because bring her Back middle

28:18 of nowhere, some weird things are happening, there's some found footage elements that we get through that all reminded me of it a bit. But Bring Her Back had a couple of logic flaws, which were the only problems I had with the entire movie. This one, I didn't feel like it had much of a logic flaw. You know, you could kind of call one or two elements a logic flaw, but I thought, I don't. I can't say them because it almot spoil it. But even that I thought worked out fine because it was right in the third act. The only spoiler I'll give is that it has possibly one of the best spice girls needle drops in cinema history. Top five for me, yeah, easy, top five spice Girls, it'll drops for me. Top five, top five to the top three. We'll see how the year goes. Sorry, we were talking about this year right.

29:07 Now, Like, well, I mean, considering the only one other one I could think of is Small Soldiers. Uh, top five, top five? Fair fair enough? But no, no, I really liked it. I think that it's just a solid film. Another another big win for Neon, and I hope people go catch it in the theater because I think the performances were awesome. I just there was nothing to dislike about the movie, yeah at all, I thought so. Like my one thing that I was really happy about with the two was I mean, and this could just be you know, trailers do this, but like I didn't know if we were going to have like a big connection with with them in that sense, because the way that the trailers were it was just kind of like throwing the horror at the at us and there was some weird stuff going on with like the couple and whatnot, but we actually have to see their relationship.

29:55 Yeah, well I it would. I don't think it would have made sense for the trailer to show us their marriage because it's yeah, you know, and you can't. Subtle doesn't work in a trailer. It just it just doesn't. It's kind of like I love to use this example again and again because after we saw what was that one with macavoy the remake, when we saw Speak No Evil, which I really really enjoyed. I remember remember so vividly. We were on our way to the bathroom and You're like, I just wish they hadn't given away how evil McAvoy was in the trailer. And then I said, well, then the movie, the trailer was just it'd just been them going on vacation and then it's just Speak No Evil. And you were like, yeah, yeah, still don't watch the original You now what in Norwegians. Yeah, I don't. I don't know about those people. It's I wanted to like, I mean, given you and I literally got it ruined for us when we when we got out of theater because that jackass wrote on our Facebook status or whatever it was.

30:44 Yeah, yeah, he gave a little bit of a spoiler, I mean big spoiler. Yeah. But I mean they were overall, from what I understand, pretty damn similar. I mean, yeah, there were differences. Uh yes, and no. To be honest, I don't remember what he said. Yeah, I can't say it here otherwise at all that'll be a. Dick move, would be. Yeah, I'm impressed you avoided it. Yeah, you are sleeping better try No, but uh but no, I really liked the film together was fine. Yeah. And I also want to say the nightmare scenes, they were the early three three big nightmare scenes were some of the scariest shit I've seen it the whole year in the theater, like sincerely nightmare like they felt like night like the worst nightmares I've had of my life.

31:27 They made the Willy Wonka bed for the grandparents as scary as possible. I just didn't expect that to happen. See I expected it because that was in the tagline says the Willy Wonka that has never been so scary. No, but no, so yeah, together can't recommend it enough. Yeah, definitely go see it. I also happened to catch Eddington. You did not, but I would say you you personally because I haven't seen it still either, But you didn't like didn't care. For bow Is Afraid very much, but you haven't seen it at all exactly. No. My point being is that I don't Yester has what a fair rate with you? No? No, he has one good movie, yeah, which is which is pretty damn good. Because I like Hereditary and I like Midsummer.

32:08 I want to like Midsummer, but I just think it's kind of stupid. Listen, you need to watch the three hour cut with twenty five to thirty more minutes of gaslighting. Look, I got like, let's just be real for a second. Because you have not seen bo as Afraid. This is like, this is like you don't know my significant other because you're not here when they hit me because you haven't seen bo Is Afraid. I'm probably not going to I don't blame you. Yeah, My problem is I actually said this to Rachel and Bosa because we went to see Eddington because we'd seen Bo As Afraid together and we were excited about bo as Afraid because we felt like some of the dumbness of Midsummer was a taste thing, you know, so we were like, oh, well, we'll really like this one, and you know, and then with Eddington we just kind of like we're there for emotional support in case it wasn't very good. YEA. Saying it's a bad movie is completely unfair, Yeah, because it's it's a well performed, well directed But I do feel like, I don't know if it's that the story is half baked or if they're just bad stories. To me, I'm not sure, but I will say Eddington wasn't. What made me mad about bo Was Afraid was that I sat there for over three hours, three and a half and then I got nothing for it. It was pretty much a non ending and that made me livid because the thing that Astor is good at, almost to a fault, is a point in his films where you're like, Okay, what is going on? And I caught myself during Eddington at about

33:40 because it is two and a half hours. I caught myself an Eddington at about an hour a half two hours in kind of going Okay, I just want to know what's going on, Like I'm getting tired of this, Like I just want to know what's going on, Like it's going to be another quirky, odd maybe violent scene. When do I get to find out what's happening? Mostly though I was actually thinking, like I pray I get to find out because bo is afraid gives you bup kiss. And I remember after it was over, I turned to Rachel and we both agree we didn't hate it, but we didn't like it a ton, And I actually said I was like, I feel like our astor's sexual kink is knowing he's taken a half an hour of my life away from me every movie that I didn't need to give it gets to just be his. Like I wonder if he's an amulet that'll make him live forever by stealing time from our lives with just kind of needless stuff. It's kind of like it's like a Coen Brothers movie if then Cohen's got fired in the last twenty minutes and now it's just some guy because Coen Brothers always wrap everything into a pretty nice little bow and reward you for the rye.

34:41 Would you say that the second act is better than the first act? No, okay, I would say the first act is really good and interesting, yeah, and then it kind of falls apart. I felt like some of the social commentary was really smart, and some of it was so surface level that I'm not even sure if it was actually supposed to be, like if it was intentionally dumb, I gotcha, or if it was just not thought out. Yeah, that I couldn't tell you. It's getting a lot of mixed reviews right now. I'm going to see it eventually. I just it's just not high on my list right now. Well, it's probably not going to be in the theater much longer. And it's in second bomb in a row of multiple millions of dollars, which is really shocking. I was shocked that A twenty four backed him again after Bo's Afraid, because that was the most expensive movie they ever made, and I think I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was like thirty million dollars and I think it did like eleven. It was something really brutal like that.

35:33 Now I have to look it up. I've heard that, like, so what I've heard from Eddington so far is that you are really tasked with deciding if you like these characters or not. Yeah, I know there are a lot of hard to like characters. Bo was afraid. The budget, depending on who you ask, was thirty five million, it says net or fifty million gross, So maybe it was fifty million before tax credits or something. Box Office was twelve. That's and then, but then Joe Eddington was cheaper but still not dirt cheap. It was twenty five. Oh my god, twenty five and it's done nine. So a part of me is wondering, like, how does a twenty four like? It? Must be the small hits stacked on top of each other, because that's a lot of losses. Yeah, but I could be I could be crazy. But again, I don't want to crap all over the movie. If you liked it, I think that that's great.

36:24 Yeah. I had a really hard time finding the point. Like with Midsummer, one of my biggest problems is that I think if you take what it's saying at face value, it's actually not a good message. I think the message is kind of that if you're a victim, then you're broken and will be an evil person. That's kind of the message I got from that film because that's the journey of the lead character. It's it's, oh, you've been you've been hurt. Well, then you are susceptible to being turned into whatever because you're you're pretty, you're pretty much ruined that There's a lot, there is a lot that goes on with her character in that movie. But at the end, it's like, she's not a good person. She's doing bad things, she's doing terrible things. She is No, she is. I'm not saying she's not, but I think but she finally found people who like her for her.

37:15 It's just that they need her to do awful things, and they'll do awful I don't think it's I don't know. I don't think. I don't think it's necessarily that personally. But that's well, well, I mean I'm not this is not I mean sincerely, Yeah, Like what would the message be not I just don't I just don't necessarily think it's that. Well, I don't think. I don't think that. That's the point. Yeah, My point is that, like that was the only thing I could interpret from it, because it's not she's not a better person or a stronger person because she's joined a cult either she's you know, that's That's kind of my point though, is but the ending is without any spoilers, really, I mean, the ending is she's belonged somewhere and has a family, and it's a fucking murder cult. So, like, I don't know where what I'm supposed to take from it, Like it doesn't feel like a you go girl. It seems like trading one abusive relationship for another. I mean that, Yeah, I'll give you that. And and the problem there is That's what I mean though, is like it doesn't offer a very hopeful perspective to victims of relationship abuse. Yeah, I'll give you that too. That doesn't mean that I'm that I'm saying that therefore it's a terrible movie, or that Ari Astor is a terrible person for telling that story.

38:17 I don't know what his intent was. I only know what I got from it. And honestly, the only reason I was willing to admit that that was what I got from it was that other people said that to me, and I went, yeah, that was in the back of my mind, but I didn't want to say it. What I'm more, I think more so, what I took away from it was if you don't get out of the situation, If you don't get out of the toxic situation, because she had multiple chances to she have to go on a trip or one not. Yeah, I mean if you if you do not leave the toxicity, the toxicity will take you and turn you into something. Yeah, I agree, I agree. It's just yeah, it's kind of a harsh pill for a person. The idea, like, you can't just walk away now you have to become completely perverted. So but you know, it is a fuck up movie. And also it's just too damn long, and the characters are too stupid. That my biggest complaints in Summer character The characters are like are painfully, painfully daring.

39:04 Multiple people scream, multiple people disappear. Oh, I get it. You know, white people just love cults. They just want to be in cults so badly. But that being said, you know Eddington, if you liked bo Is Afraid, then you probably will really like Eddington. If you didn't like bo Was Afraid, you have a chance at liking Eddington because it did pay off. Yeah, I just wasn't sure I felt about the payoff. So, I mean, it was a better film in every way in that way, and the performances were really good. Joaquin Phoenix is great. It was just a great actor. This is the next great American Western as all the some of the reviews of saying that. Was the most confusing. It didn't feel like a Western at all, like at all. I mean, they're in the desert.

39:45 You want to who really like hated it? Joe Lynch really yeah, good for him. He literally said on his letterbox view like that he was the person sitting next to him or that was looking at their phone the entire time. That got a couple of laughs. At least they enjoyed the movie was his. Real damn see. And I don't want to be mean, it's just after bo Is Afraid, I literally felt betrayed. I felt like, oh, okay, fuck me. As an audience member, like. Chapter two, I feel that dude, no me fucking baby penny Wise, baby fucking kidny. The sad thing was that when I would tell you, we have to be a little not weary that's the wrong word, but we have to be careful with our expectations of chapter two. The funny thing is like at first you would kind of be like ah, picking on me.

40:33 I'm like, no, no, no, Dave. Chapter one was yeah. It can't well and chapter two has always been the weakest, even of the well. And I don't know if you remember, but because you know, I had went to see it chapter one and opening night kind of as a joke towards you, but also because I was just bored that night, and I literally when I walked in, I was like, hey, all joking aside, You're gonna fucking love it. Yeah, like you're gonna be so happy when you see it and you'll want to see it again with me after you see it on your own. Yeah, and you did. You went and saw that weekend, saw it four times in theaters, both chapter one and chapter two. I saw, well, I saw chapter one four times in theaters, but I only saw chapter two once. Yeah, I saw chapter two, And yeah, chapter one and chapter two four times theaters each. But no, So my point is just that, like it was actually just great. Oh yeah, and you know, how can you nail it that well twice in a row?

41:18 Very hard? And I wouldn't even I wasn't even mad, just. Made a lot of odd choices. And I will say, having now seen the Welcome to Dairy trailer that dropped at Comic Con over the weekend. Pretty pretty hopeful for that. That looks like it could be a pretty good series. And Mussetti's are doing it again. That's cool. Yeah, the Mussetti's and muchete Uchetti Muchetti. I've heard both. I've heard. Are they Italian? I don't believe, so hmmm, because I don't know, because if they're Italian, it's muchettichee. I can't remember. It's all right, I've heard. I've heard it pronounced several ways. It's like my buddy Keik, his last name is Busio, which you would usually say Buccio, but he's Mexican, so it's Boussio. It just happened to be a name that both, you know, Italian people and Mexican people share. So yeah. So it's like a lot of people say Buccio because they're used to that, like Luccio fulcio instead of Lucio full sea, which is what I used to say before I well before I found out that you was saying it wrong. Yeah. So but on that, on that note, together, really great experience was.

42:21 I enjoyed it far more than my thyroid and Eddington. No, I my thyroid's a little bit. I like my thyroid a little more than Eddington. So so would you like to know what we're talking about today? At least I hope you watched it, so, I mean there is that. No, I I watched it today, and I gotta tell you, I'm really glad we postponed recording because I think that if I had been in the in the like stressed mind I was in last the last couple of days, I would not have enjoyed it. No, I feel that, and I think I would have just been unable to yah. So tell them all about it, double D. So we are talking about as we are getting too ready to approach the sequel twenty two years later, Freaky Friday from two thousand and three. Freaky Friday three Friday, one hour and thirty seven minutes, rated PG for mild thematic elements and some language. IMB synopsis says Tests and her daughter Anna do not get along. However, things take a turn when, in a freak incident, they both switch bodies and are forced to live each other's lives.

43:24 I mean, what more is there? My synopsis? When a constantly bickering mother and daughter swap bodies. They soon realize the only way to swap back is to learn selfless love in their predicaments. AH on a very special episode. Taglines this week include, okay, Mondays are manic, Wednesdays are wild, and Fridays are about to get freaky, maybe a little freaky, a little freaking. We also have get your Freak on August first. I mean, I'm not laughing at that because it's cheesy. Oh yeah, I'm laughing at that because I know I point this out a lot, but I think it's worth pointing out. Yeah, like when that movie came out, I was a teenager. I was a little bit more aware of of the world. Yeah, you know than because you were still a preteen at that.

44:10 Point, right two thousand and three, I would have been in third grade. Yeah, oh wow, Yes, you're a kid. You're a kid. So my point is, the reason I'm laughing is that that was just the friggin' Maxim magazine, Axe Body, Spray, Red Bull world. And that's why I love, sincerely, why I love Entourage is because it's not I mean, well, I actually think the storytelling is really good and the character is really good, but but One of the reasons I love it is because I have a nostalgia for that weird like it was like eighties on testosterone therapy, that little like squeak of like seven years where it was just everything was axe body spray and fucking red Bull and fucking we We still had a little bit left over the extreme from the nineties, Like it just it was just a weird, a weird little era. It felt like its own decade. Definitely did. It really did.

44:59 And and a lot of movies like have a little bit of it here and there and there. But Ontourage is just like screaming because it's all about popular culture during that time period. So anything that was popular would be in there. I remember one side, like the things they would drop, like like like at one point, Eric has a he has a fling with a girl, and he's like, I hooked up with a Perfect ten model. It's like perfect ten was a popular website back then. You can hear a Perfect ten referenced in Super Bad. They say, what about perfect ten? It was that kind of stuff. I was constantly dropping whatever was known and popular right then and there, So people go, ah, I know that. So it's like it never desired to even remotely be ageless, so anyway, but no. So my point is that watching the movie as well as that tagline, just maybe go like, ah, yes, axe body spray, we also have every teenager's nightmare turning into her mother. I don't know, my mom's pretty cool, but I just got the thyroid disease just like she has. So actually, they're right last.

46:04 They've always been in each other's faces. Today they're in each other's bodies. That's a good That's like a tagline, yeah, except that that's really like you could also make that the tagline for a Hallmark Christmas movie or Together or well, oh you could really actually should have just lifted that for Together. It's still time for the Blu ray, so Freaky Fridday currently available on Disney Plus, also rentable on Prime and fan Dango. You can also get a DVD, but if you want to get a Blu ray, you're gonna pay a lot of money because that was a Disney Movie Club exclusive. Baby ooh, that's out of print. It goes and I noticed they didn't have a four K of it on Disney Plus, so I'm guessing they haven't done a four K of it. Well, Disney Movie Club's gone. Well yeah, yeah, so yeah. Director on the film is Mark Waters. He gets to start in nineteen ninety seven with a little film called The House of.

46:49 Yes Hachi Machi. That's a great, weird, weird, one underappreciated movie. Yeah, though, that's a good one. So then he goes on to shoot Head over Heels in two thousand one, follows that up with one of my favorites. That was of VH one original Warning Parental Advisory, all about the PMRC trials. Oh yeah, d Snyder in it had a guy playing Frank Zappa, had a guy playing John Denver, like it's. I wouldn't watch that. You should see you fight on YouTube. I'm sure, yeah that. I feel like that'll be hilarious just seeing people playing all those guys. Oh, it's fun. So he knows that. Then he does Freaky Friday in two thousand and three, follows that up with Mean Girls in two thousand and four, follows that up with Just Like Heaven, then goes on to direct the Spiderwick Chronicles Eve Adams, Ghosts of Girlfriends, Past Mister Popper's Penguins in twenty eleven, made in Jersey, which is of East End in twenty thirteen, Vampire Academy in twenty fourteen. Then in twenty sixteen he directs Bad Santa two.

47:43 Oh I like that, Sant you no, no, no, no, no no, it's my Oh is not fair. Yeah. When we went to see Bad Santa two, I struggled with the same problem I was saying about it chapter two for you. Oh, because it couldn't. But I'm so because the magic Man, because the magic in Bad Santa was so and the magic in Bad Santa was a little extra special. Because it wasn't beloved at first, not exactly. I mean, people liked it, it was a hit. Feel like, well it was a hit, but I feel like it really got its notoriety Bad Santa came up. But also when Comedy Central started doing it. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, that's what I'm saying. So like it. It became something where somebody's like, you gotta watch Bad Santa, or but you gotta see Batter Sanday see the unrated.

48:27 And I remember watching it and going like, this is great, not good, this is great. It's it's a good it's a good movie. It's a funny comedy, it's raunchy. But in the right way, and it's a good Christmas movie. Yeah, it's it's all of it. Yeah, And you don't always get all those like there are lots of movies that I'm like, eh, it's a very good Christmas movie. I don't know if it's a great family drama or a great whatever, but it is a great Christmas movie because it makes me feel Christmas y, it makes me happy. You know, there are all these criteria. So when we went into two, I tried so hard to convince myself like, bro, don't be hard on it. They're they're bringing it back just to fuck around, and it is not terrible by any stretch. But but it didn't. It didn't hit the mark.

49:09 But what could compared to Bad Sanna? Like, what is going to replicate Bad Sanna? Yeah? I revisited last year and Bad Santa two is still a lot of fun. Kathy Bates is really great in it. You know, what's a Christmas movie that every time I watch it, I'm like, man, why is this just so good? And it's uh uh, I can't. I'm struggling with the name. I apologize Will Ferrell. Mark Wahlberg, Oh spirited. No, no, no, no no. Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. Oh you're talk about You're talk about Daddy's Home too. Daddy's Home two, h thank you bad. Mom's Christmas bad. Mom's Bad. Mom's two is also Christmas good. But man, but Daddy's Home too, Like you can. I like Daddy's Home, so you could. You could ignore Daddy's Home and just watch Daddy's Home Too as a Christmas movie and it's it's great. So that's one that like I also, I didn't expect. When I watched it, I was like, man, this is just checks every mark, every single mark.

50:02 Well, because we had seen Daddy's Home in theaters Daddy's Home Too, it was just kind of like, well we saw the first one, just go see the second one. Plus you had lyft Gal, you had Gibson. So I mean, oh, when I saw the trailer and it was like it was like John Liftow is Will ferrell'sdad, I was like, oh, I love that. It was like and Mel Gibbson Olmert's dad. I was like, well, now I have to have ticket, Yeah, give me a ticket. Yeah. So that was so good that I took my mother to see it the week later. Like I was like, Mom, you got to see this. She was like, I like Daddy's Home, okay, And I was like, cheos, well you'll love this. Well it's it's more sentimental in all the right ways, and it makes sense to be that way. And sure enough my mom had tears in her eyes at the end of it. I was like, I told you, I'm crying way harder than she is, of course, but I was like, I told you it's great. So anyway, sorry, just so yeah, Ba'san in twenty sixteen, then goes on to direct Magic Camp in twenty twenty, He's All That in twenty twenty one, Mother of the Bride in twenty twenty four, and La dulce Villa in twenty twenty five. Who our writer on the film? We have three of them, starting with the writer of the book, who was Mary Rodgers, composer, screenwriter and author.

51:00 Was a book first. It was a book first, okay. So she actually Mary Rodgers was a composer first off, and does Once Upon a Mattress in nineteen fifty nine. I I've seen stage play of Once Upon any wrote all the music for it, the Princess and the p yep. Yeah, then goes on to do the composition for The Mad Show in nineteen sixty six, which was a mad magazine like broad or not Broadway, but musical that they did okay. Then in nineteen seventy two, she writes the novel of Freaky Friday. Goes on to also do Free to B and You and Me in nineteen seventy four, does the screenplay for the movie Freaky Friday in nineteen seventy six, goes on to write The Devil and Max Devlin in nineteen eighty one, screenplay billions for Boris in eighty four, which is technically the sequel to Freaky Friday.

51:41 According to IMDb, gets screenplay credit for the nineteen ninety five TV remake of Freaky Friday. Also two thousand and three's remake gets a novel credit for that. Also Once Upon a Mattress in two thousand and five, Freaky Friday remake, again in two thousand and seven, Freaky Friday remake in twenty eighteen, and most recently Freakyer Friday character credit in twenty twenty five. There was a freak Ky Friday remake like three years that was it for TV. So there was one in ninety five that was for strictly for TV. There was one that was in twenty eighteen that was strictly a musical that was on Disney Plus, which was still available. And then there's also the original in seventy six with Jodie Foster. Okay, I thought you said there was one in I was twenty seventeen. So there's so, okay, let me do this episode ninety five is the TV remake, right. Then you have two thousand and three, which is this one we're talking about, follows that up with two thousand and seven, which is another one.

52:27 Okay, that's the one I hadn't heard of. Yeah, okay, one in twenty eighteen. For a second, I was like, shit today, not here, right, there's. Two technically two TV remakes on top of the Jamie Lee Curtis one and Jodi Foster one. So it's like five versions of Freaky Friday. Now, fair enough, I mean, it's I mean, it makes sense all about retelling it so soon. Yeah, a couple of those times. So it makes sense because parental well obviously parental stuff changes. Because I've never seen the original Freaky Friday. I actually watched it in preparation for this show. It's fun, just John Aston's great now he plays the dad. Because they're married in that way, right. That's that was kind of what I was figuring, because this Freaky Friday we're talking about today is very of the time that I grew up. Oh yeah, and represented kind of well except for the part where they were you know, ungodly rich, Yeah, but kind of represented. No, she's a therapist, well, and her husband died and I assume it was a it was a horrible jet ski accident, and the settlement was very good, it was very generous. I mean, that's a little backstory. So we also have Heather Haig who is a writer on it.

53:30 She gets screenplay credit in two thousand and three for Freaky Friday, does Legally Blonde the musical in two thousand and seven What to Expect when You're expecting, screenplay credit in twenty twenty twelve, and got character credit for Freaky or Friday Coming Out as well. And lastly, we also have Leslie Dixon, who is a writer in nineteen eighty seven with Outrageous Fortune, the Bette Midler and Shelley Winters. Yeah that sounds right. Yeah, Shelley Winter's movie Blind Date with Bruce Willis gets the screenplay credit for that Overboard in eighty seven. She writes allows that up with writing lover Boy in eighty nine, Look Who's Talking Now in nineteen ninety three, Missus Doubtfire in nineteen ninety three, No Shit follows that up with that Old Feeling in ninety seven, the Thomas Crown Affair remake in ninety nine. Pay It Forward in two thousand, gets the screenplay credit for Freaky Friday in two thousand and three. Madam doubt Fire in two thousand and three, which is a Missus doubt Fire remake that I can't find shit on except for the poster that's on IMDb, which is weird. Pull it up right now. Madame Doubtfire from two thousand and three. Cannot find a listening for it, cannot find anything about it, can find a poster for it.

54:31 Uh, there was a novel, yeah, called Madame Doubtfire. Yeah, two thousand and three. Well, the novels from nineteen eighty seven. Yeah, I've got well, Alias Madam Doubtfire is the novel, because I've got the novel because Yeah, it even says that in the credit for Missus Ulfire that's based on Alias Madame Doubtfire French. It's a French TV movie, Okay, that's why, based on the classic American comedy. Uh yeah, yeah, it was a with Michael leeb Ah the French. Moving on to that, we also have Just Like Heaven in two thousand and five, Hairspray two thousand and seven, The Heartbreak Hid two thousand and seven, Limitless twenty eleven, The Oscars in twenty thirteen, Overboard remaking twenty eighteen, and most recently, Freak Your Friday character credit in twenty twenty five.

55:12 Okay, so this is Dutfire describe. Yeah, Okay, that checks. Out Leslie Leslie Dixon. I mean Overboard's one of my ultime favorites very well. Facts. Yeah. So then moving on down to our cinematographer, we have Oliver Wood, who gets his start in nineteen sixty nine as the DP on Pop Down, goes on to shoot to Blake Slavin in nineteen sixty nine, follows that up with shooting a little film called The Honeymoon Killers in nineteen seventy Okay, I'll buckle up. So then he does Danny in nineteen seventy nine, Don't Go in the House in nineteen seventy nine. Okay, follows that up with Shooting Maya in eighty one, The Returning in eighty three, Alphabet City in eighty four, Sex o'clock News in eighty five, which I like that title.

55:53 That's a title tells you everything you need to know. Joey in eighty six, then shoots a little film in eighty six called Neon Maniacs. I know, hey, that's amazing. Oh well, keep going, Yeah yeah, Nasty Hero in eighty seven, episodes of Miami Vice in eighty nine, Then in nineteen ninety shoots a little film called die Hard two. Wow, die Harder, die Harder. Follows that up in nineteen ninety with the Adventures of Ford fair Lane. Okay, so he was Renny Harlan' yes guy for a minute.

1:03:01 I think she was in one episode Femember correctly. Yeah, apparently, Oh it was in the finale. She made like a brief cameo as herself. I can't that's harder to tell. Yeah, but uh, okay, well that would explain. I mean she'd been in like five episodes that it felt really bad. That's fair. Wrapping up ourcast.

1:04:36 Well, yeah, it seems like most everybody's returning. Yeah, I mean it's almost like Disney's got the money. Yeah, you know, it's crazy like that. Sometimes surprised. I thought I put maybe deliberate Stranger is the one I'm thinking of that it's Bundy where because he Harmon played Bundy and. He well delivered. Stranger is a movie about Ted Bundy. Yeah, that's what he's in. Yeah, for some reason, I thought it was a Stranger among Us, But that's Annol's book based on that. So that's my bat. So it was your first time watching for You Friday on HBO. I could see that probably like twenty two thousand and five, Yeah, and didn't care for it very much. Thought it was fine. Again, I'm a little old for it. Yeah, So because I would have been almost eighteen at that point, wasn't really aimed at my age group. I mean that doesn't mean that the movie wasn't entertaining yet, Like I wasn't going to be dying to see it. It was being advertised on the Disney Channel and almost an adult so I'm not watching it that much at that point. That makes sense. But yeah, I didn't care for it much.

1:05:30 Then rewatching it, I actually really liked it. I had a lot to enjoy about it and a really weird thought about it that I'll tell you about in a minute. Okay, But yeah, so I wish I had a more exciting nostalgic viewing is not so much on that one. This was a day one rental for my family. It was a we picked it up, I think like right after mom or right after mom and got out of work. She went and brought it home to us. So we watched it that night. And I mean, this was one that my mom loved because Jamie Lee Curtis fan already but loved her in this. This was one we bought like shortly after it was watched numerous times at my house. So, I mean, I've seen this movie probably thirty times. Geez, yeah, I've seen this movie a lot.

1:06:10 Well, it didn't hurt that you had a sister, Yeah, probably like Lindsay Lohan. Uh yes, And no, oh she's hater. Not so much a hater. I think it was more so she grat gravitated towards other other stars that weren't She was really into MTV at this time. That's all I got. Fair enough, fair enough, So you're right again into the movie, I would hope. So all right, So we open with the turtle song Happy Together, and we're seeing pictures of Jamie Lee and Anna as she's young and then it kind of speeds up a little bit and now we're in current day and Anna is dead asleep in bed and the alarms going off and Jamie Lee Curtis is trying to get her up. Yeah, it's pretty funny. She's like pull basically eventually she has to literally rip her out of bed.

1:06:52 She tries to go, Yes, she tries to literally go and pull her out of bed. We're seeing Jamie Lee's like morning routine and whatnot, and she's getting ready and Anna's still sleeping in bed the entire time, and finally gets to the point where after she literally holds onto the bed while she's pulling it, she goes against the little brother Harry with an airhorn and he comes in and blasts it right in her ear. Yeah yeah, pretty classic teenage girl. Yeah thing, And of course she gets pissed chases Harry out. The door shuts. I love this edit because the door shuts and she's like Anna, come on, She's like what, I'm ready. Yeah. It opens that She's completely dressed ready to go in like a matter of seconds, which I thought was very funny. Oh, it's very funny. So we are now in the car as they're going to school. We also find out that Anna wants to drive, but she doesn't know where her perman is. Yeah, she couldn't find it, couldn't find best of a room.

1:07:34 Yeah, And also that she believes that Harry stole it because Harry goes haha when she can't find it. Yeah, little brothers. I guess, Oh he's great, you know. So Yeah, they get into a fight on the way to school and she's talking about how she wants to get her ears spears. We kind of already see that their relationship is a little in turmoil. Plus we also get to mention that she Tess is getting married in a couple of days. Yes, so because Anna wants to get a studd her ear and she makes comment about it. She doesn't want her made of honor to have a stud basically, And so this leads to them getting to school, and we also find out that she is having some issues with an old friend named Stacy, and even Tess is asking Anna, you know, I don't see her anymore. She's like no, she like hates me, Like we're enemies now. Yeah, because she's become a popular girl, yes she has.

1:08:15 And so she's walking to class and she has a recognition that she is also wearing the same shirt as another girl, so she decides to flip it out as she's with her friends later. Yeah, and it looks uh weirder inside out. And this is also the time where we get to meet the crush in the film, played by a Chad Michael Murray. Jake Ah Jake, who walks right past her, wouldn't you, I mean you have to go to class. But I love it because she's with her friends and she's like, oh my god, he's coming. She's and she's like, they're not He's not even looking at you. Oh, was totally looking He's Oh, he's looking at you. He's coming over. I think she's gonna talk to you. And just looks at it and just keep going. I was hoping that they were going to say all that and then she was gonna look right at him and then he'd noticed her stare like he hadn't moved it all. Yeah, that would have been really funny. It would have been funny.

1:08:59 So we also do find out that since Tess is getting married, that Anna's dad did pass away about two three years prior, and we'll get into that a little bit more so, Tess is getting is getting married again to Ryan, who. Will meet in a little bit as well. While this is all going on, we're going through Tessa's day. Tess is a therapist and she arrives at her office and this guy Evan, who she sees every single day, played by the late Great Willy Garrison. Yeah, and she mentions literally that like I see you every day. Of course I know we'll gus you'. She's temporarily indisposed because she's not paying attention to she's driving. She ends up going over some spikes and wrecking her cars car. Ex has to go into. The shop because her phone rings, and she has like a phone and a pager and a PDA. She has all these things, yeah, going off at once. She's digging through them and just drives right over the spikes in the parking lot too, so she's without car.

1:09:48 She gets to the office late and Evan's like, you know, are you gonna be here tomorrow. She's like, I'll be here tomorrow, but I won't be here for the next couple of days because I'll be on my honeymoon. And he's like, well, I can't reach you, blah blah, blah and just like goes on this whole tirade about how there's no phones in the mountain. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to and she's like, let's just get through the day. Yeah, Yeah, he's a lot, He's a lot. So also back at school, we meet mister Bates, who is Anna's least favorite teacher, played by the great Stephen Tobolowski. Of course, the character actor of character actors. And he gives her an f on her paper and says preposterous on it. So she goes to talk to him afterwards. It's a paper on Hamlet, and he's like, you completely missed the point and she's like, you know, well I don't think that's fair and he's like, well, that's my greatest final and she's like, well at least Hamlet had hair and ends up getting detention.

1:10:30 Yeah. It was a nice little side aside to excuse me. And I love it too, because she walks into detention, goes up to the woman that's leading the detention and she's like, how's it going, Anna, that's well, what do you have today? Turkey meat loaf? And they swap food. I love that swap lunches like kids. So that is also when we go later into Anna's day and she's playing volleyball in gym class and Stacy keeps spiking the ball and hitting her in the head. Yeah, like a lot. Yeah, she's she's getting herself concussed pretty good. So Anna decides to take it upon herself and spike the ball right back at her when she is not looking, takes Stacy down, and Anna gets a second detention. Yes, she is having quite a quite a day.

1:11:13 So that is when she meets Jake inside of detention. Yeah, and they they kind of hit it off a little bit, and you know, he he offers her a ride home, revealing that he drives up motorcycle to school, and immediately she's like, she's just like, oh, I can't, like I've got, you know, something gone. He's like, your mom would totally kill you, wouldn't She Yes, she would. And mister Bates also takes this opportunity to completely crush her talking to Jake because he walks up and he's just like, hey, you got your sat coming up, Like are you prepared for it? And while that's happening, Jake walks off and Anna has now lost again thanks to mister Bates. No no, no, Hey, that's life in the big city. So we cut over to one of my favorite scenes of Tests shopping in the grocery store after work, and she's again talking on her phone to the caterer and she wants to get hallibit. It can't be salmon, and she's like, you know, how much is the extra cost? Meanwhile, she gets another call from one of her clients and she's like, basically, you.

1:12:04 Know, you're a strong woman. You don't need a man. And while she's doing this, she's got her earpiece in yes and does not realize that the deadly counter woman is seeing her, thinking that she's talking to her. She's like, thanks so much. She has the tears in her eyes, gets choked. It's really funny. So Anna gets home and as she's walking into her room, she sees that Harry is just strumming on her guitar with drumsticks. Yeah well yeah, because he's an avant garde musician. And she ends up dealing with him by tying a thong around his head to where he can't see, and he is just wandering around while she goes down and joins her friends for band practice. Like I said, two thousand, this is a two thousands af There are thongs jokes, Yes, there are his thongs were It's so it feels weird. Yeah, thinking that when I was a teenager a a trope of being a teenager.

1:12:59 What's thong under Oh yeah, no, it absolutely was. I know because I was. I was there, you were there. I mean like, but I mean really like it was. It was. It was like every girl had to wear a thong or you were like lame. Yeah, that was the way it was. And it's extra weird because I feel like thong underwear is not nearly as popular now. No, it was so popular back then. It was. It is popular to have the thong that rode up so much that it would show past your pants even when they were up properly. Like like it's like wearing the key chain, the wallet chains. I'm sure you did, pal it was a Kiss wallet. I at least you were able to cut the cool you know, like cutting a cocaine with baby laxative by using.

1:13:42 A spencer's baby. It was a wallet with a chain that was the destroyer. Album for Kiss was hot topic closed for remodeling that day. So I don't even know, to be honest, So uh yeah, Anna deals with Harry goes down to join her band Pink Slip. They're practicing it in the garage at the house and they play the song round and round. Here we go again. What's called take Me Away? And this is a song that like, was very popular for school talent shows for a bit. I can tell you because I've seen it played by several bands at school talent shows. I wonder why you'd call it pink Slip when none of them have ever had a job. Like, it's a cool name. It sounds cool, but like the girl bands, I mean, their drummer's a guy if I remember correct that York r like pink Slips a cool name, but yeah, none of them, they've never received a pink slip. That seems like something that would be like a middle aged bands game, you know, because they would be angry about like the factory in town shutting down or something.

1:14:34 So they're playing in the garage and this is when Harry runs out of the house, running into Tests who is coming home with the groceries, and she sees that Harry has the song wrapped around his head. She tries to get it off as she's lifting him up off the ground, and. He's just like, ah, it's it's there's there's a decent it's actually mostly front loaded, but there's a decent amount of slapstick. Yeah, because he runs right in the door. He goes running back into the house, runs into the front door. I meanwhile the band is still playing. Test is inside her dad arrives, so Grandpa arrives and and Mark Harmon as Ryan arrives and he surprises her because we find out that Test is a therapist who just recently wrote a book as well. Yes, he got a copy so that he could have the. Author sign it very sweetly. I got the vibe he was like somehow involved in managing her book dealer, the way.

1:15:14 That the way that goes to the talk show and everything. I would say that's pretty pretty easy to put together. Yes, something like that. He was in some way involved in helping get the novel or the non novel, but the book published. Also with going back to the thong joke, to Test has to cut it off his head, which leads that's when Grandpa walks in and he goes to pick off pick it off of Harryhet and He's like, what is this one of them thongs? I don't think And I want to mention this is an era of kids movie that again it's aged, I think better. But like I used to joke that every like older kids movie in this era would basically have a moment where be like I just don't know if I love my life anymore? Whoa, And then they would like trip and fall down a flight of stairs or something like that. It would it would just always it would always have like the most oddly timed places for slapstick, yeah to be in there as well. Yeah, And that was something that I found in this movie very much, was like, here's some slapstick, okay, I mean, why not? Yeah.

1:16:11 So the band's playing. It's really loud. Tessa's trying to talk to Ryan and finally realizes that it's six o'clock, so band practice is over. As she shuts the power down because she knows there's no use in telling them. They're not gonna listen or even hear her anyway. So she literally goes the fuse box, flip, finds garage and flips it, flips it times up it's after six, so that is when Anna goes, uh, to talk to the band, and they get a call on the phone that they have booked a gig for the Wango Tango at the House of Blues because one of the bands is dropped out. Just so happens though, that the gig is tomorrow, which is also the time of the rehearsal dinner for the wedding. Yep, so that's gonna be a no go. I always. I know that there's more too. I've never been to a rehearsal dinner. Yeah, I have not. Never, So I've been and never. I've actually only been to like one or two weddings that I wasn't I filmed, shockingly, you think I'd film a lot of weddings by actually only shot three.

1:17:02 Was that also the wedding you sang, asshole? Oh that was that Cinema Wasteland. I don't. I didn't even count the wedding at Cinema Wasteland, but that I wasn't okay that one didn't feel so traditional? Yeah, I mean obviously, yeah, but no, I say, yeah, I sang assole ghastly Ghul's wedding. Yep in uh and uh with a band of horrors, that's all great. It was it was pretty is that I have no idea. It's got to be somewhere somewhere. But uh, but I want to mention that I've never been to a rehearsal dinner, and whenever I hear about like wedding rehearsals, I always imagine, like you know that they would be like, and do you take this woman to be your awfully wedded wife? And you'd be like, taxes are doing Fuck, I'm sorry, I lie. Why I do? Thanks? Dad? Why I do?

1:17:42 That's that's that I mean. I'm just saying, like, that's how I always imagine your wedding rehearsal. It's like, oh, yeah, I don't want to fuck it up or the priest will just coat walk up. We're gathered here today to wish Tommy a good luck in his journey to heaven after fighting cervical cancer, and you're like, uh, you're sort's like, well, if you'd had a rehearsal, maybe i'd know it was a wedding. Just smell booze on his prep. Soda has to break into the band that she's gonna talk to their mom, and I love it because she's like, you know, don't worry about it, guys, I'll talk to my mom. We'll get it worked out. And the one, the guy that plays the drummer, goes, we're screwed. Yep, screwed because she's the one who plays the solo. Yeah. Which side note, it did not appear she had any idea how to pretend to play a solo in the first scene you're talking about Lindsey. Yeah, yes, But in the second scene where she's supposed to be pretending later in the way, later in the movie, yeah, she looks like she does know how to fake playing a solo.

1:18:38 I've got some fun trivia in regards to who taught Jamie Lee Curtis how to play too when we get there. I'm very curious. I just want to point out that it was just very funny. As I was watching, I was like, she's not really playing like a solo right now. You're gonna shit when you find out what band led to her learning to play the guitar. It's all I'm gonna say. Okay, So, so Anna goes back inside, finds Harry and his friends in her room, all wearing bras while Harry is reading. Out of her diary. What a great But I also need to back up because I forgot about something. Right around the time that the band practice closes. Test gets a call from the school. Right, her daughter's been attention good twice in one day? Yeah, one day. So she took her door off the hinge yes.

1:19:20 Because when she goes up to kick Harry and his friends out, she goes to close her door, except there is no door there. And I love it because Ryan and Grandpa are downstairs and they hear her scream and he goes, oh, she saw it, and he's like, a time to go check out those lakers. I'm with you. And this is also a very I don't know if parents do this now, but that's a very two thousands move for parents. Oh, would you like to know what happened to my sister? She got locked out of her room. I mean, you're really excited to chair. So you got locked out of her room. There was a lock put on her door, and she was moved to the love seat in the living room as a teen. As a teen, So what happened was she had gotten real pissed about something. I can't remember if it was like that she wasn't allowed to go out, or she'd gotten or something. So she went into her room and just started throwing things and like tearing things up and whatnot.

1:20:05 So she was pushed out of her room. The dad went to the hardware store, got a lock, put it on the door, and Erica had her alarm clock and a blanket and the pillow on the love seat. And I think got her room back about three days later. I want to say, you know what, when you started this, I thought it was weird. Yeah, No, I think that's fair. Yeah. If you're going to trash your room, you lose room. Yeah. I think that's actually pretty fair. Yeah, but I love her. I think where she's like where she says privacy is a privilege. Amma yep. I thought that was a very like two thousands parents. And I love it too because she's. Like, you gotta give me my doorback. If you don't give a doorback, I'm gonna kill myself.

1:20:45 And Harry goes, oh can I watch Oh God that kid, now he's he's a highlights. So naturally they get into it and she's just like, you know, you just talk to me, like, you know, tell me why did you why did you have the tension? And she's like, well, you know, mister Bates is out to get me and she goes, oh, him too, and she says like, you know, you wouldn't last one day in my school, Like you don't know how it is. And she's like, you know, well what you know what happened? Attention? She's like, well, mom, I was actually talking to this guy Jake, and you know I really like him. She's like, where'd you meet him? And she's like detention, and she goes, that's promising. So they get into a huge fight. Ryan breaks it up with Okay, who wants Chinese? Yay? No, it's it's a it's a solid fight between them. Yeah, and it does establish a I having a much older sister, I have to say, there is just something about women, like like women living with women, there's a like I always hear that it's that way with men and I didn't witness that, but like, man, it seems like there's a point where women get defiant and they're really defiant towards their moms. I yeah, I cat.

1:21:47 I can definitely a test to that because I as even though I wasn't a very bad kid, the few moments I had were nowhere in comparison to my sister, Love you, Erica if you're listening to this, which probably not. Well in her defense. First pancake. Yeah, there's that little Pieces of April reference for you. Yep, first pancake. So we are now at the Chinese restaurant, which I believe is the House of Pipe, because I think that's her name if I'm not. The second right sounds about. Yeah, So you got pie. Pie and her mother are the two that run it, and they know each other like Test and her ub known each other because even she's like, you know, well, who's catering the wedding, She's like, well, it's already taken care of, and she's like, well, Chinese food's good luck. And I love it because she goes, okay, how about I. Do no no I and I love the younger. There's two, yeah, main there's the daughter and the mother the Chinese restaurant, and the one who plays the daughter. I think she's just perfect in a ton of movies. Yeah, she's really really good in that part.

1:22:39 So that's when Tess, you know, tries to get Anna to talk to her, because Ryan's even trying to talk to her, and she and Anna's giving one more to answers, and I love Grandpa because he's like, you know, don't gravele Man like, let her come to you, and he goes, well, she'd come with a hatchet. That's great line. Well she'd come with a hatchet. So that's when you know, he goes to check what's going on with the duck as they've ordered a duck, and Test is like, you know, do you think that's. When he was when he was referring to groveling by it was that he leans over to he says, I had I ordered a head on the peaking Does I know what's your favorite? Well, well she knows great, and he's like, well, I know it's your favorite. And it's like that's so sweet to because peaking duck does take a while, so it would be really nice to have called ahead. Yeah, and also pea king duck is like really expensive, so like it's just all around a very nice gesture. She does not care, no, And I mean, and that's the thing I do want to say is Mark Harmon's character in this movie. You know, when you're a kid watching this, he's just like, you know, it's the stepdad character, and it's a it's a good step dad character because and unfortunately in cinema, there's a lot of bad ones.

1:23:32 Yeah, not Terry. Well do you know about Stepdad's David? I mean the stepfather and the stepfather two and the stepfather three? Who am I here? No? I mean I agree, he's a very good example of the stepdad. I mean, and there's there's a trope with it too, because, like, you know, as much as I love Liar, Liar, like Carrie always does not deserve half the shit he gets in that movie. He's just goofy. No, but he he does kind of No, he does kind of express a resentment towards the dad. But you know what, No, you're right because this because the dad is a dicky. I need to rewatch that. No, because you know you're right though, because I was like, well he's pretty mean towards that. Yeah, but his dad is a total screw up until the end of the movie. Yeah, he never keeps his promises. He always disappoints the kid.

1:24:15 And now I need to rewatch it because now I'm but now I'm also doubting, like how how mean were they to him? I need to rewatch it. Well, it's like, I mean, okay, so we talked about Daddy's Home earlier. Daddy's Home is a great example too, because you know, that's the whole story of that is is him trying to make friends with these kids that aren't his because he's gonna be the father now, but he's kind of the fuck. Up in their eyes. Yeah. Well, and there's the there's the uh, it's a mixed family, not just a step dad. There is that. Yeah, because that also plays a big, a big part two when you bring kids into as well. Yeah, and you know, or have a kid with you know, yeah, it gets even more complex. Yeah, I agree, no, no, but uh but no, he's like a really good example. There have been a lot of mean stepdad characters, some really mean stepmother characters.

1:24:56 First Born Peter Weller is a piece of shit in that movie. Yeah, yeah, and and and the stepfather really is the ultimate like, yeah, like, who is this person you've let into your home movie? Well, and as much as I as much as I'm not a fan of the remake, the fucking scene in the remake when he when that kid is playing the video game loudly and he literally goes up and like basically paralyzes him and turns the TV down. Yeah, that is intense. Well, there's there's a thing when it comes to this. Take it from from me who's had a stepdad, had some you know, my mom had some boyfriends and stuff. There is a real tension about how much you can what's the word, uh, not punished, but but discipline scipline a kid that's not yours, because you know, it really is like you can't treat them like they're your kid, and if you make a wrong step, I mean, you're you know, you need to make sure you're on the exact same page as the mother, you know, And I'm sure it goes to both ways.

1:25:53 But yeah, and the only thing that we get with with Ryan in this that I would say is a little questionable, which I mean it's really not. But Harry and his friends have snuck some ice and he catches them with it, and he's and he's just like, you know, hey, guys, you're gonna spoil your dinner. And Harry goes, you know, the stepdad thing can be easy or hard, and Ryan goes, just don't let her catch you. Make sure your mom doesn't catch you. Yeah, no, no, But but honestly, I think that kind of makes it makes it more clear how in it he is is, yeah, because you're going to negotiate with kids. Well, then he does it the second time too, because when Harry does the whole thing of can I watch, his friends are standing there and Ryan goes and they're like, oh God, good run. No, no, it's it's it's it's good stuff. Yeah. So so yeah, back of the Chinese restaurant. So yeah, Ryan goes off to look and Tests is like, you know, do you really think the whole like, you know, being easy is the way to get what you want, and Anna kissing ass is just like, you know, you know, you're right, mom, And I'm gonna apologize to Stacey and I'm gonna try really hard school. What I'm saying is I'll try, Mom, I'll really try. And she goes, what do you want? Yeah, solid, and she basically says, you know, we have a we have a show tomorrow. It's an audition.

1:26:54 It's a great thing. She's like, oh great, you know after the rehearsal and she's like, uh, the kind of like during during is in and out of and she goes, you mean technically, So then Tessa's pissed. Yeah, So they go off to the side, she's like, I need to talk to you. And while this is happening, then they're having a little conversation. Paype's mom notices, and even Paypey goes, oh, mom, stay out of. It, and I the Paypay's mom is one of the highlights of this movie. It is especially her little gag toward the end. So yeah, there. So they're arguing and she's like, you know, you wouldn't last one day at my school. You don't understand how it is. And she's like, you think my life is perfect. Like they're doing the whole mother daughter back and forth, and finally Paype's mom comes over and she goes a cookie and they're like, you know, this isn't really the right time, and she's like, no, no, now's a good time.

1:27:35 So she gives the fortune cookies. They read them, and they're on other sides of a door, the other sides of the door, and they break their fortune apart, and all of a sudden, an earthquake happens. Well, and they read the fortune and it's the same fortune, same fortune, which is a journey taken in another's eye, something along the line when what you see is what you lacked and selfless the level turn you back and Anna goes whatever, and then all of a sudden, like an earthquake happens and literally like they both feel it. They run back to their table and like, you know, did you guys feel that? They're like, no, we didn't feel anything at all. And even Grandpa has the hilarious Joe throughout the movie where he's like, you know, they said there was an earthquake, an earthquake, earthquake, and he freaks out. Yeah, oh, a journey soon begins, its price reflected in another eyes. When what you see is what you lack, then selfless love will change you back. Yeah.

1:28:19 So yeah, so they've got that fortune out. The earthquake has happened, and Mark's like, Ryan's like, you know, you didn't feel that, and He's like no. I don't think they did. And while this is all happening, they cut to Paype's mom walking behind them, just with this grin on her face. Yeah. So we get to later that night, they're back at home. They're both in their beds. It turns into midnight and we see both of them change their sleeping positions to the opposite of each other. Right, so you have Jamie Lee Curtis, who is like, you know, laying like this with their arms folded and everything, and all of a sudden just rolls over like face down on her bed. Anna, who was laying face down, goes into her pose as well. Yeah. Yeah, And I like the way they did the change because even without seeing the original Freaky Friday, I know the thing where where that one of them is and or Red.

1:29:01 Well, what's hilarious is her mom's smoking when they change, Like literally, her mom's smoking a cigarette and Jodie Foster's eating ice cream when it happen. Well, that's a perfect thing too, because like the kid would just be like she does yeah, and that you know, that's not that offensive because that's you know, suggesting smoking his gross yeah, which is you know, probably true. It would be better than her going like why do I feel so cool? You know. So, So they wake up the next morning and we're hearing Tess's voice over and we're hearing Jamie Curtis's voice. She's like, I gotta get up. I get the dry cleaning. And she wakes up and she's like why am I in his room, goes through the whole thing and like feeling the hair this isn't mine, that is mine, feels her ass. That's definitely not mine, like it really gives a grip on her own butt, and it's just like, that's definitely not mine.

1:29:44 So she starts screaming a little bit and Harry comes in and he goes, Annah. Mom's dead. Oh no, that one killed me. So they run in because Mom is sleeping like a teenage girl, not responsive to any noise, any touching, anything, knock, get up. She's like, you know, oh she's not I'm breathing. I'm not dead. She's like, no, honey, she sees you called me, honey. Yeah. She trying to explain to her brother, well her I guess her son at this point that she's just like, you know, you know, I'm maybe not feeling very well. You know, why don't you go eat breakfast. You can have some Anna cereal? Oh cool? Oh I mean my cereal? Yeah cool? Runs off. And this is the thing I wanted to tell you that I thought was really weird about this movie is as we introduced Jamie Lee as the mom as the daughter and stuff is, I felt like Lindsay Lohan was actually at her worst playing the teen No shit, I didn't think she was very believable, which is a weird thing because she was literally a teenager. But I thought her playing an adult the mom's body, she's so good, because that was my first thoughts. I was kind of like, I don't buy her as like this, this the type of teen she's supposed to be yea. And but then the moment she becomes Jamie Lee, I was like, oh my god, she's like perfect, She's just like a freaking mom.

1:30:56 It's so good. So naturally they both come to the realization of what's happened, and she's like, you know, you're you're in my body. I'm in your body, Like, oh my god, I'm old. Oh like the crip Keeper. I remember that because that was in every app railer, every ever, the crypt Keeper, like the cross Solid. So they decide that they are they're going to try to run at each other. They're gonna a jolt at each other and see if that. I love that they both thought that was a good idea. And not only that though, but like she went like a jolt and they immediately know what to run into each other. But what I love about that, speaking of the random slapstick, is they run and as they hit the little brothers just the doorway and he just sees them.

1:31:36 Sam He's like, can I pum? That was another one that was in the that was in a lot of the advertisements too, because it was a shot of him and you just see them out of focus, like hitting the ground. I love because they're like that was stupid, and they were like Harry and and he's and then Jamie Lee Curtis like, what do you want punk? Because it's Anna, No, it's it's it's such a great reveal. So yeah, they they decide that, like they have to figure out what they're gonna do. You know where did this happen at? It had to have happened at the restaurant. So Anna has to go to school and Tests has to go to work, So they're gonna go basically go about their days and try to do each other's schedules, meet up at lunchtime to go to the restaurant, see what they can find. Out and hopefully learn nothing. Hopefully learn nothing, God will.

1:32:18 So this gets even more intent at this point though, because now they have to go downstairs and see if they're the only ones that it's experienced to. So they see that Harry is Harry Grandpa's grandpa, because Harry's trying to get the milk from Grandpa and he's like, Grandpa passed the milk and starts shaking the table. So then Grandpa's earthquake again, goes running out of the house right as Ryan comes in. And I love it because Lindsay Lohan goes honey because it's Tests inside of its body at this point, and he's like, all right, I'll drive you to school. No, there's a lot of golden h So they end up getting ready to go. There's a whole exchange of them getting ready, like Test is putting on clothes that Anna never wears. Meanwhile, Anna in Test's body is dressing up as she says like when she say wey uh from my clients, are I get to buy some some stripper.

1:33:09 I'm gonna change? Good luck changing without a door yet line. Well, also, you pierced your navel. Yeah, I was gonna tell you about that. Oh yeah. So eventually they're on their way to school, and that's when you know they're trying to keep appearances up to Ryan's trying to hold Tessa's hand and she's making comments about how yeah, it's so great the crazy were getting married. It really got over my husband really quick. And they end up stopping the car. Yeah. Yeah, she's clearly sabotaging their their eventual nuptials. Yeah, very aggressively. Well, because she evens she's like, by the way, while I'm at I'll I'll apologize with the whole car for being such a fun sucker, like all this stuff, and it's just putting it all out there, and she's like, you know, Ryan, stop the car. Mom out of the car. Yeah no, and that those little moments where she's bossing U, you know, basically her mom's body around. Yeah, very very funny.

1:33:56 Yeah, And so she basically tells her, you know, you know, keep up appearances, you don't do anything. Meet back here at eleven. Meanwhile, Jake walks up and he and she's like, you know, you say something to say say hi to him or else I'm gonna break up with Ryan. And she's like, hi Jake, my god. Yeah. So it leads to a whole thing of tests in Anna's body, tries to go make friends with Stacy, goes up and gives her a hug. Stacey Pole gives her a wedgie, and pushes her over, and so her friends save her and she'says like, I can't believe Stacy did that. I'm gonna be talking to her mother. Meanwhile, this is happening Anna as Test gets back into the car and Ryan goes, all right, so where's Harry school? And she's like, oh, he can walk from here. It's twenty blocks fresh Aeryld. Do you good? But what about bullies run fast? So Ryan is just like Test, it's no big deal, and she's like whatever, and so turns on the radio.

1:34:44 So they go about their tay the man. Yeah, yeah, Oh it's so good. So yeah, they So this leads into Anna ends up going to the uh excuse me. Anna is going about her day with class, talking to her friends. Tests starts going about her day but also realizes that while she's walking past a window on her way to work that she can also have access to Tessa's credit. Cards and money. Oh yeah, and gets a full on makeover and gets her frigging cartilage pie. Well, and also you've got Ryan asking her, so do you need a ride from working and to pick up the Volvo? And Anna goes, oh, I'll definitely be picking up the Volvo. Yeah, oh yeah.

1:35:25 So this leads to Anna talking to Jake and basically saying, you know that she appreciates but like, you're much too old for me, walks him off. Has the whole thing happened with Stacey and her friends. She has to basically confess to them that, you know, she said, no, we can't go to the I can't go to the audition because it's rehearsal dinner. And they're like, you know, well, she's totally ruining your life. And she's like, you're the culprit, You're the culprit. So yeah, she basically tries to explain that you know, it's a it's a whole thing, and that you know, you have some respect because Tess is literally trying to defend her. Own wedding at this point to Anna's friends, Yes, and by the way, telling Jake all that stuff just was just nagging out. Now he's just more curious than ever. So by this point then Anna ends up going into the office and that is when uh two, secondary lost my place.

1:36:10 This guy writing things down. I know it's because it's because it's confusing because it's Anna and tests and so they've spot bodies. I got to make sure, I'm saying the right thing. Oh boy, here we go. So that is when Evan is the patient who is there at the office. But she gets there and there's so many calls waiting for her and she. Calls Evan the wrong name. Yeah. Well, she goes. There's a guy that comes in with delivery. That's Boris who was in the first movie, by the way. So he as he's just like you know, line seven and then yeah, Evan comes in and he's like, oh you're here, And she's like, uh, are you going to answer those calls? No, I don't think I'm going to. And he's like, oh, so you don't answer your calls. I tried to tell you that I wasn't gonna be able to reach you, but you lied to me. You're a liar.

1:36:53 Yeah. So tests, uh tests Anna as tests sees a bunch of patients. There's several, Like there's one that she basically was told like if anybody asks you anything, you're not you don't you cannot give advice, like you're not authorized to. How does it make you feel? How does it make you feel about that? Yeah, So goes through several patients, one of which is Mary Ellen trainor who is talking about how She's like, you know, my daughter's not playing with her friend anymore. I went through her phone and she's like, wait, you like read her diary and basically calls her a bad mom for doing so. She's like, I want to find out if they're like getting intimate. She's like, if she was getting intimate, she wouldn't be writing about it doing it. She stills on this whole thing about like, Okay, you can't betray her trust. Yeah, case, I guess we're done here. Oh my god. So back at school, Anna is realizing or test, and Anna's body is realizing she she recognizes mister Bass. She doesn't know where she knows him from, but she knows him.

1:37:41 And he decides to give the class a pop quiz and they're all going to be graded on the answer that they provide when he asks one question, and Tess, being a college graduate with Hamlet, gives a really good response to the central like plot elements of Hamlet and he's like, that's reaching F And she's like, what do you mean F And he's like F. So then at the very end of class, she goes up to try and talk to him and realize Eldon Bates, who was somebody that asked tests out back in high school to a dance and she turned him down, and now he's using her daughter to get back at her, and she. Just goes full lawyer about it. I wonder how the school board will feel when they find out this and that and this and that, and then she's oh, and by the way, she had a boyfriend and you were weird. So we get through the day, or.

1:38:21 We get to the lunch period, and that's when Anna is waiting for Tess is waiting for Anna to arrive, and Anna rolls up in the Volvo and she is pissed. She also sees the makeover. She sees she's eating haircut shorter. Yeah, She's like, all the fries you get go straight down my mouth to my thoughts, my thoughts. Yeah. Yeah. So they end up getting to the restaurant and that is when immediately they that Paype knows that something's up because she's just like, you know, hey, uh something happened, Yeah, a big something, and. She's like, uh, mom, she comes out, runs away, you'll come back. I love that her mom just does this. Yeah, her mom just save elements of this movie is the idea that just that just this lady, this Chinese restaurant just will swap people that she finds her not at apreci but I also thought that was a really nice way to make it not feel I don't know, convoluted to do Freaky Friday again is the idea like, oh, well, this lady does it to people, that's just what she does.

1:39:21 So so that's when Peype basically tells because the mom and Paypey get into it because she's like, you know, they'll they'll thank me later. She's like, actually, she's getting married tomorrow, so if they don't swap back, she's. Not gonna be happy about this. And she's like, nobody tells me anything. No, it's it's so good. So she's like, you know what she says, Oh she's crazy, you know, let's have let's have lunch. And she's like, I think you know exactly what's going on. And so even even Nanna goes, let's hit her. Jamie Lee Curtis is so fucking funny. Oh yeah, no, I mean she's got that teenage girl energy going so hard. So that's when Paype basically tells him, you know, follow the fortune when everything is met with the fortune, you'll swap back and you know, so go find the fortune. That's what they can do. So they leave the restaurant and Anna's stressing out in Tests's body. She's just like, you know, I don't want to marry Ryan, like you know, this is this is not what I want. You know, I want everybody to go back how it is. And she's like, you know, we're gonna get through this, don't worry about it. Meanwhile, the palm Pilot's been going off NonStop in Tessa's purse and that's when Tess realizes that she has a parent teacher conference meeting with Harry school and I love this scene.

1:40:22 Oh it's a really sweet scene. That's one of the best in the movie. Yeah, So she decides that she has to go to this. So she goes into the conference and at first Anna is just like very short with it, like you know, oh, you know, Harry is struggle little bit. Oh well, you know that's the thing kid needs tough enough. Well, actually he wrote a very like nice piece on your daughter. And so Anna gets to read this thing that Harry wrote about Anna basically being his hero. Yeah, how much he adores are how cool she is for playing guitar and being in a band, so and all this stuff they go. She goes out and talks to Harry and she's like, you know, you know, she could show me the paper you were on Anna, and he's like, oh, well, don't tell her. And she's like, well why, and she's like, well, because like, I you know, I don't want her to think that I think that she's cool, like you know, otherwise it'll ruin like the back and the courth. So they end up having a really sweet see together walking out. Meanwhile, while this is happening, Anna has to go take her SAT, so she goes back to the school so as tests tests.

1:41:13 As Anna goes back to the school, tries to make up with Stacy and she's like, you know, hey, you know, I know that we've had some stuff in the past, but like, you know, we used to be friends. Like can't we be friends? And Stacy's just like, you know what, yeah, come sit with me for the test. Meanwhile, it's something like that. It's it's like it's like some kind of standardized test. SATs is a thing you don't do during school. Yeah, it's just a standardized test. I don't know what SA are like a big deal? This is it? This is is a place. It's a college place placement test. Yeah, I didn't think you did that during school hours, fair enough. I didn't realize it was the SATs. It's it's like it's a placement test with some kind So yeah, she has She ends up sitting next to Stacey. Stacey very sneakily writes I'm glad we're friends on a little piece of paper, puts it on her test and elbows Anna to look at it. Then when Anna looks over, she goes, miss, she's looking at my test, and Anna gets caught red handed, so back in attention, she goes well.

1:42:06 Then at first she had tried to like patch things over with her as well. She had been like, you know, I want to you know, everything along with that. So yeah, this ends up going into Anna going back home with test trying to find the fortune, but Ryan surprises her because he's got something up his sleeve and they have to go right now, which ends up being that he takes her to the Dottie Wildson Show because she is going to be a guest on a talk show because they had a cancelation, So that means that Anna is gonna have to talk about Tess's book that she knows nothing about. Yeah, and I love this scene because so while this is going on, back in, Anna sneaks out of attention, catches up with Jake, and Jake is like, you know, hey, cheater, and she's like, oh, I didn't do that. You know Stacey did this, And he's like, hey, you know whatever happens. She's like, well, you know, if you're so great, why are you always in attention. He's like, I'm not in attention.

1:42:52 I work here. So and she's like, you know, not buy it at first, and he's like, well, what if I told you I could help you finish your test? Because when she got caught, they took her test away and sent her to detention. So he takes her into the teacher's lounge. They sneak into the test room and helps her finish her test. Meanwhile, while she's doing that, she also finishes her test and finds Stacy's test erases all of Stacy's answers and writes. I'm a moron, right, I am stupid? Yeah, I am stupid on it. Yeah, I don't I'm sorry, stickler, I don't think that was the SATs. It's a standardized test with some guy. Oh no, it was definitely some some exam. Yeah, it's some kind of placement exam, because that's what mister Bates makes a big deal about. Yeah, because I feel because SAT is there's like massive amounts of prep. And then they're typically on Saturday morning. So I've taken my essay t.

1:43:33 Yeah, that's all I was just saying, because the reason I wanted to delineate is if she had sabotaged a girl's SATs, that's like really really dark. No, it's still pretty bad. That's no, because that could like cause you cost you a ton of money and a ton of Yeah, yeah, I mean Wolf, I mean it could have been a practice test. It's hard to say. I mean he said, he says it in the movie. I'm not sure. I'm checking my notes right now. So if there's anything, all. I see is school exam? Are you on Wikipedia? Just on Google? Okay? So I mean I don't think it matters that much. It's just yeah, I don't think it'll be an SAT because that's a much bigger deal. Yeah, just some kind of standard size Okay. So yeah, so anyway, she gets to takes care of Stacy's test. Meanwhile, Anna on test on the show Basically at first, like Dottie comes out and she's like, you know, talking about the book, and obviously Anna knows nothing about the book.

1:44:26 So she ends up just kind of taking over the interview and making a big deal about you know, adults think they're so tired and all this stuff, like, you know, why don't you just let your emotions out, like if a guy likes you, you know, scream about it, like makes the audience go. Sayes, adults care about things that don't matter. Why cook? Have you never heard of takeout? Yeah? And stuff like that, and I mean the show just goes off the rails. Meanwhile, Anna or a test is seeing this because she's in the teacher's lounge where they're watching it on TV. Well, it's also important to point out that her appearance on this popular TV show to promote it was a surprise. Yeah, prize, you're going on television in three minutes. I don't know that she would have loved that in general. You'd think it'd be like, oh, I could have like done my hair, thanks pal Jesus.

1:45:12 So she wins over the crowd, so that that like Anna or Testa is seeing this, and she's like, I'm gonna kill her. So she goes out with Ryan or Tip with Jake to try and get a ride, and he's like, you know what, I gotta get to my second job. You know, you're not who I thought you were. Like, he's not really loving this side of Anna that he's seeing because he doesn't know that they've watched bodies obviously. Yeah, I mean assuming. Yeah, So he rides off without her and Test is frustrated. Meanwhile, back at the studio, Ryan's like, hey, is, like, is is Test coming out seeing He's like, Dottie had her escorted off the premises, but she rocks, doesn't She looks she signed my butt. Yeah, she just pulls his cancel out a little bit. I love she Yeah, she signs his butt, signs his butt. So Jake rides off without Test, leaving her there. Meanwhile, Anna as Test goes to the coffee shop where Jake just so happens to work.

1:45:55 And one thing to point out is from the outside perspective, Gdly Curtis's character appears to have just like smoked a bunch of meth or something. Yeah, Like she's just completely out of her rails, screaming, acting insane in every way. Yep, it's a lot. So they hit it off at the coffee shop and she realizes that she has to get back home, so he offers to give her a ride, which apparently his shift is like two hours of. The coffee shop. Well, you know, he is in high school. He is in high school. There is that. So he ends up giving her a ride back on the bike. But Ryan sees them as they're driving on the street and. She's like holding on to him like a teenage acting so silly, and of course he rolls out the window.

1:46:37 He's like test test rides off. Yeah. So meanwhile, Anna or Tessa's Anna gets back home and Harry is acting like his mom on the table. The talks are going, whoa. What a? I like wow, I mean it gets off the rail so fast, it does incredibly fast. So Anna eventually gets home and Tess is scolding her like, you know, where have you been, young lady? You know, tell me what's going on right now? And Grandpa's like young lady, and she's like, oh, it was her idea, you know, reverse roles. So they go upstairs. They're getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. Meanwhile, Ryan comes home and he's like, you know, Test, like, what what the hell is going on? Like is there something that you like have to like get out of your system? Like you know, like why are you on the back of this guy's bike? And Tess speaks up and she's like, actually, Mom was feeling out a guy for me because I wasn't allowed to go on a date with him, so she wanted to go see what he was like.

1:47:26 And she actually does approve of him, and and we we kind of skipped over the point where he seems to be falling in love with with with well, we haven't got there yet. Oh really that I thought that was at the coffee shop. He I mean, they hit it off well, but this is where Yeah, but they were like gazing in each other's eyes, and the dawned on her that she was in her mother's body. Yeah, hit me baby one more time and talking about music and all this thought that was the big romance moment. I don't know until to say anything right here is yeah, I was gonna say. So, they're they're getting ready to go to the rehearsal dinner, and outside Tess hears Jake singing Hit Me Baby one more time at the top of his lungs at the house, so naturally she goes outside ends up tackling him before anybody sees him because they're all getting the car ready to go to the rehearsal dinner. And she's like, you know, you've got to stay away from my mom, Like you know, you're my age group, like you you and I should be together. My mom is getting married, like you can't be with her. And he's like, but your mom's so cool.

1:48:16 So Anna or Tessa's Anna tries to kiss him to try and persuade him, but he's like, you know, Anna, like, I I appreciate you, but like, no, like leave my mom alone. No, it's it's it's a strange turn, but also I mean it's it feels weird, but it's meant. The whole point is to suggest that in reality, he the personality of the daughter is who he's actually into. Yeah, that's kind of the point, is that, like, no matter what the body, yeah he's he still likes yeah. Yeah. So we get to the rehearsal dinner and Anna and Tess are trying to keep appearances up. Meanwhile, Anna's friends from Pink Slip crash the rehearsal dinner, trying to get her to go because they're a block away from the House of Blues. If she comes and does the song, they can bring her right back and everything's good. Tess is refusing as Anna, and that's when they pull out a roll ductive and she's like, Anna, don't make me do this.

1:49:04 I love that part too. Yeah. The band are so like questionable in and I love it. So Also, while this is occurring, Jake has also crashed the rehearsal dinner, of course, and once again gets picked up by but it gets picked up by Anna as Test this time, and she's like, you know, what are you doing here? If Ryan sees you, you're gonna ruin everything, And he's like, you know what, I just like you, and she's like, no, like you like Anna, Like I'm getting. Married, you can't like me. Meanwhile, Ryan realizes that Anna's friends have crashed, and this leads into the whole thing of Tests as Anna or Yeah trying to basically be like you know, I know you think it's some stupid rock band and like, you know, blah blah blah, and Ryan straight up goes I love this. Yeah, Ryan straight up goes, no, what are you doing? Like go and she's like are you sure? And he's like no, get like go go to your gig.

1:49:45 Well no, he gives a bit bigger than that. That's to her well because then tests as Anna tries to go talk to him, and that's when he's like, he basically says, you know, I don't think of it as some stupid rock band. I don't think of Anna as like, you know, just some kid that comes to the package. Is like, I know you have kids, and I want to be a father to them too, but I want her to like me for me, I don't want to make anything. It also gives this whole thing that really kind of like blew my mind about about Like I knew when I came in that you came with these kids. Yeah, and I love that, And I knew that they came first because they should they should. He was like, I know that you're going to go come for them first. You know they will always come first, and that's the way it should be. Like he's very very understanding about the whole concept of her motherhood and it really tells you, like everything you need to know about.

1:50:32 Him, and we should say too before this week kind of skipped over it that Anna and Tess had a whole conversation before they went to the rehearsal dinner, because Tests as Anna as Tests is just like, you know, I don't what happens to Marrow, Like I don't really want to marry Ryan. And she's like, well, I don't think you want me to marry Ryan, and she's like, you know, we never talked about this. Times running out and you just see that there's still resistance there. Oh, sure, she still hasn't gotten over the fact that it's been like two three years since you lost her dad and everything. So yeah, this leads to a whole show at the House of Blues. So Pink Slip is on the stage age and Tests as Anna is just like, you know, I don't know if I can do this, like the rocking maybe a little low tonight. Meanwhile, Test Anna gets there in Tess's body and she ends up reversing the amp so that Anna just r Test just has to go out there as Anna and just fake it.

1:51:12 Yeah, And as she's standing there, eventually the solo starts and we pan over and Jamie Lee is playing the guitar. It's it's pretty sweet. It's a pretty sweet little mom. So they went over the House of Blues. Everybody goes crazy. Even Jake is there and he loves the show and everything, so everybody's won over. They get back to the rehearsal dinner because they find out that they probably have gotten the gig, and that's when Tess tells her tells Anna that she wants her to tell Ryan that she needs more time, that they're not they're gonna have to postpone the wedding, and that you know, she wants her to be ready for it. They need some time to figure this out, and Anna goes, I know what to do. So she goes over to Ryan. Ryan stands up and she's like, you know, I think you need to sit down for this, and gives this beautiful speech basically has everybody's attention on it, and says, you know, about two years ago, we lost somebody and you know, I know for a fact that you that he can't replace that, but the fact that he's trying to, and you know, a very heartfelt reasoning from Anna.

1:52:09 Yeah, yeah, it doesn't say he's trying to, but yeah, basically there's a lot, but there's room for for some for a new family or a new family and a different thing as opposed to just trying to replace our dad. It's a really sweet, very sweet, a really sweet scene where it pretty much establishes that that she finally understands where her mother is coming from, which I suppose is the port. And says the whole thing about how you know, when Ryan came into her life, we saw our mother become happy again and all this stuff, and again this is Test tests. His body is saying this, but it's Anna that's saying it, so it's it's a huge approval and ends up being the thing that is what causes them to swap. So we get a little earthquake. We do get a little earthquake and about a being bought a boom yep. And that is when Ryan stands up to Test and he goes, what the hell does happened? And she goes, you don't even want to know. They kiss and we're at the wedding.

1:52:59 Yeap, and uh, and we forgot. It was very quick. But like we forgot, there was a part where they called said how but oh that's disgusting, and she basically handled like yeah, I'm canceling. Yeah, so now the catering is being handled by the Chinese Chinese restaurant. Yeah so yeah. They everybody's dancing at the wedding. Jake and Anna even makeup, and she's like, you know, he even says, yesterday was freaky. I don't get it. Uh, and and then and then she says like, you know, basically like kiss me again or whatever how it was. And meanwhile, this is going on. Everybody's dancing at the wedding. Harry and Grandpa are sitting next to each other, and Grandpa notices that Harry is looking at a little girl off to the side, and he's like, you know, why don't go ask that girl to dance. He's like, you know, why don't you leave me alone? And he's like, youth is wasted on the young and he's like, will you go ask her? Then the old fart and meanwhile this is happening. Mama ends up seeing the cookies yep, and brings them out to him, and Pepe notices, Mama, what are you doing? Grandpa Harry no runs at them.

1:53:56 Tackles them to stop them from opening the cooks and the cookies and goes, oh, Okay, No, it's such a great little silly ending that she was about to Freaky Friday that as well. So that is the end of Freaky Friday as we go into Pink Slip aka Lindsay Lohan singing the song Ultimate, and that closes out two thousand and threes Freaky Friday. It was a very fun ride in the movie. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Nothing against the movie, but I really did. I thought it had a lot of good things to say about family and about you know, finding the right person, about mixing, about adding to your family, stuff like that. I thought it was really uh as well thought out. Yeah, it's a good way. It's definitely a good one, I think. For me with this this watch in particular, I just really got to see the family side of it that I ever really looked at it, especially with Ryan's character. Really well done, really well done with that story element.

1:54:48 I agree. So, would you like to guess what the budget was on it? Uh, two thousand and three Disney twenty million? Yeah, on the nose, Oh, twenty million on the nose opening weekend, which is August tenth of two thousand and three, it takes in twenty two million, grossing in US and Canada one hundred and ten million dollars. Look at that grossing worldwide one hundred and sixty million dollars. Wow, So I think it was a bit of a hit. Smidgeon Smitge Pidgeon of a hit. Shooting started October fifth of two thousand and two and wrapped to December eighteenth of two thousand and two. Shot mostly in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California, so those are the two places mainly. The initial script for the film involved Anna writing for the school newspaper and wanting to view an interview with singer Gwen Stefani at the House of Blues. However, director Mark Waters felt this would have this would have just excuse me, felt this would just have the film my god, what is this?

1:55:38 Felt this would just have the films be about Okay, you're the one who I copied. No, I copied in pastes, I. Didn't say, but you didn't read it. Huh. Yeah. Apparently a nerd daughter and a nerd mom switch places in ages. Thought it would be more interesting if it was about a rebellious daughter and a straight laced mom. This oprobation got him the job. Kelly Osborne originally auditioned as Anna, not as Anna's best friend, and was offered the part, but decided to back out. Later. She said people told her it was the biggest mistake she'd ever made due to the success of the movie, but. Think I'm sure Kelly Osborne was ready to make many bigger mistakes in no time flat. Michelle Trachtenberg was cast as Anna, but had to back out due to her contractual obligations with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coincidentally, this is the second movie she turned down in which Lindsay Lohan won the lead role. The first was Lohan's film and debut, The Parent Trap.

1:56:25 Wow. I didn't know that at all. Misha Barton, Kristin Stewart, May Whitman, Evan Rachel Wood, bre Larson, Emmy Rossum, Kristin Bell, Shiry Appleby, and Daniel Panabaker all auditioned for the role of Anna Coleman. I feel like anybody in that age range in La would have Yeah. Producer Andrew Gunn said initially hoped Jodie Foster would play who played the daughter in the original film for Ye Friday would be Game to play the mother in the remake. Foster declined in part because of the concerns that the casting stunt would overshadow the movie's overall merit. Annette Benning was originally slated to play Tess Coleman. She backed out shortly before filling and was replaced by Jamie Lee Curtis. Sigourney Weaver was also considered. Curtis only had six days to prepare for the role after Benning dropped out.

1:57:05 That's insane. I would have never guessed that. Yeah. Tom Selleck was originally cast as Ryan, but dropped out after Benning did as he wanted to work with her. Tom Selick, Yeah, that would have been such a lame movie. I'm sorry. Jamie Lee brought an energy that really helped this movie be for young people in my opinion. When Jamie Lee Curtis found out Lindsay Lohan, who was going to be playing her daughter, had starred in The Parent Trap, she asked which twin did she play, unaware that Lowen had performed both roles. What The snapshots in the opening credits are actually photos of Jamie Lee Curtis and her daughter Annie Guest. Aw, that's sweet, as in homage Jamie Curtis's mother, Janet Lee, best known for her performance in Psycho. A character named mister Bates as president in the film, named after the character from that film, Ah.

1:57:51 In the film, song take Me Away was originally a hit for Australian girl band Lash. For its use in the movie, the lyrics had to be changed. In the original version, the shit word is used instead of stuff when they sing same old stuff never ends. It had to be changed as Disney would not let the movie use shit in a family film. Ah the old shit word, the old shit word. Jamie Lee curtis famous guitar solo in the House of Blue scene was made possible with guitar lessons provided by Curtis via Emir Dekra, who was the lead guitar for the death pop band Org. Oh Yeah, Huh. There was going to be a scene where Tess Coleman and Anna's body punched Stacy, which is the deleted scenes. By the way, It's the only deleted scene in Her New Nose. As revenge for the test, Mark Waters filmed the scene, but he removed it because he felt it was harsh. Hypocritically, Waters allowed Stacy to hit Anna with the volleyball push tests into the bike rack and successfully accused Tests and Anna of cheating during the exam, which were arguable harsher than Test punching Stacey in the face A little bit.

1:58:45 Yeah, that's fair. The cover of Test Coleman's book Through the Looking Glass is the same cover as the original Freaky Friday novel by Mary Rodgers. Nice okay. Mary Rodgers considered this the best adaptation of her novel, calling it the first time the character seemed real despite the unreal goings on, and flucky instead of whiny. Wow okay okay. Two alternate endings were filmed, one involving Harry and Grandpa opening their fortune cookies when an earthquake happens, with both of them yelling a word. The second and original ending would have been the film cutting to black as they break their fortune cookies open before mark director Mark Waters claimed that it wasn't a funny ending, which led to scene to some viewers seeing now Paype tackling the duo to obtain the cookies instead. I mean, I do like the tackling, although if they had swapped I think that could have been funny too.

1:59:28 They shot both those endings they're also on there. But did they shoot the original ending where where Lindsay Lean's character had to stay in her mom until after the wedding night in order to prove what right dark Well, you know, but you'd learn a lesson. Freaky Friday was released on DVD and VHS by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on December sixteenth of two thousand and three. By the end of that month, it had sold approximately four point nine seven million units, generating over eighty five point seven million dollars of revenue. The film was later released on Blu ray March twenty seventh of twenty eighteen as a Disney Movie Club exclusive. Wow yeah, all right, So what are your final thoughts on Freaky Friday. I enjoyed the hell out of it. I don't think it's I don't know if I would call it like quintessential viewing to own, but it's definitely a rent it yeah, because it's it's totally worth watching. And if you're not familiar with that era and that time frame, it really captures all the time, the early two thousand It is a time capsule and and just for Jamie Lee's performance alone, the movie is really worth watching.

2:00:26 Yeah, I couldn't agree more. It's a rent it for me as well. I think overall her performance is a lot of fun. I think everybody came and knew the assignment. It has a very sweet message to it, and it has phenomenal performance. Is a good soundtrack, which is basically all cover songs too, but no Freaky Friday two thousand and three. I cannot recommend it enough. If you have not seen it, make sure you check it out, even as a Freaky Friday is coming out too. Oh yeah, yeah? When does that come out? Literally the week of the week of this recording? Oh wow? Yeah that if you're listening to this on the week that it dropped, Freaky Friday comes out this Friday. Is it going to be in theaters? Yeah? Oh wow. I didn't even hear about that. I mean I heard that it was being made. I honestly thought the first time I saw poster, I thought it was fake fake. I know, Sully me. Oh, that's interesting. So always like to end the show with a couple of recommendations. The first one I have this week is nineteen ninety eight's The Parent Trap, currently on Disney Plus and rentable through Prime and Voodoo. Identical twins Annie and Hallie, separated at birth and each raised by their own biological parents, discover each other for the first time at a summer camp and make a plan to bring their wayward parents back together.

2:01:24 It's a really good movie. Yeah, everybody loves the parent Trap. And I'm gonna go with another body swap comedy, this one with a little bit of a horror element from twenty twenty Freaky, currently rentable on Prime and Fandango. After swapping bodies with a drained serial killer, a high school senior discovers that she had fewer than twenty four hours before the change becomes permanent. That's a pretty fun. Freaky is fun. It's a really fun It's a lot of good one. So I actually had to think about this for a while and I had a few different ideas, but then I realized that this is the one I really think is worth revisiting or visiting for the first time. If you've just watched Freaky, Yeah Friday and it would be nineteen eighty eight, big, big, Now it's not a body swap, but it is a kid becoming an adult, and it's directed by Penny Marshall, and it stars Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loja. Yep, And it's a really fun movie. It is a little questionable.

2:02:15 There's a decent well you know there is. But that's kind of the idea though, is the kid learns that adulthood is complicated. Yeah, and they make that very clear. But it's a funny, highly quotable movie. It's a very good example of like seeing Tom Hanks getting ready to become a massive movie star after this film. So nineteen eighty eight's big, which is oddly enough on Disney Plus and Hulu right now, or you could rent it on Fandango or whatever. But nineteen eighty eight is big. I think it would be a great double feature with Freaky Friday. Solid suggestion. So do we have any emails this week? I don't know. Yeah we do. Okay, you don't. You don't have to talk a bunch of shit, feel it. Let's see. So we want to remind you that you can email us at do you even movie pod at gmail dot com. That's ooh, we even have another email since I checked last Oh, that's do you even movie pod at gmail dot com. We love hearing from you guys.

2:03:08 This first one from our buddy Jake. The subject line heist movies. Okay, hey guys, once again another great episode on Point Break. Yes, I really enjoy the movie and hearing your thoughts on it was fun to hear about, as well as the trivia. Like Patrick Swasley being an avid skydiver. Heist movies are some of my favorite subgenre of films, and I'm wondering what some of your favorites are. I personally really love The Italian Job, the sixty nine and three version, and Heat to name a couple. Ye, keep up the great work. Looking forward to August. Best wishes, Jake. Heist movies one of my all time favorites that I just recently saw about a couple of years ago. Missed it in theaters and I'm kind of sad about it.

2:03:50 But I love Wrath of Man with Jason Statham. Oh yeah, that's that is a phenomenal one. Along with that, I will also give one I need to revisit. It's been a while, I think. Honestly, I haven't seen this that you and I saw in theaters, but I really liked Hell or High Water. That was gonna be mine. I'm sorry, Oh, it's fine, You're Jerk. No, Hell or High Water was really good. I recently when when uh oh gosh, con James Con James con when he passed away. Yeah, I saw a thief for the first time. Yeah, from nineteen eighty one. That's on two B right now. Apparently Thief, phenomenal heist movie. Really really enjoyed that. Also, Den of Thieves, Den of Thieves, phenomenal heist movie.

2:04:32 Panic Room, Panic Room. That's the one that really just recently got a new four K transfer to Panic Room. I cannot recommend enough. And with that, I will also give one that's technically people forget it's kind of a heist movie, but The Collector is technically a heist movie. That's a good point. Yeah, it was a heist movie. Yeah. And uh my final one would be Logan Lucky, which you'd mentioned I think a week or two ago. Yeah, Logan Lucky is a really fun heist movie as well. And I would throw a couple more Guy Richie's in there, Snatch and Lockstock into smoking Barrels, phenomenal action comedies that have an amazing cast in that movie, my god, both those movies have amazing cast. Yeah. Absolutely, So those are a few of our favorites, Jake, Yes, thank you for writing in. This one's for our buddy Trnk. Okay, he put subject not too early, hey, guys, in between harvests and have time to check in. No, it's not too early for the JFK joke. Ll I'm sure I made a terrible joke about JFK. Sure look forward to hearing y'all every week. If you're looking for theme ideas, how about a creature feature month. The two that come to mind are Them from nineteen fifty four, okay, and the Relic from nineteen ninety nine. Oh, those are both.

2:05:43 I haven't seen them and forever, but Relic is a classic them. So there's the giant ant one and then there's the one that's them breaking into houses, right, I think them nineteen fifty four is the ant one? Think so, yeah, because Them is the there's one that was put out by I want to say Dark Sky or IFC that is Strangers esque. Oh well yeah, but that one's not from the fifties. Yeah, yeah, nineteen fifty four, Yeah, that's the ant one. Yeah, but thank you Trank for writing in. But we'll consider especially because we we we very much veer towards the nineties on this show. Yeah, so the Relic is a pretty solid rash there. Yes, absolutely so. This next one is from Jayden okay, and it's a subject is surfboards versus Cars. Hey, guys, Jayden here from down under.

2:06:27 Awesome. I just finished listening to your Point Break episode. It got me thinking about how The Fast and the Furious the only good one of those movies is a scene for seeing car version of Point Break it is. Yes, what do you guys think? One hundred percent? I think we've talked about this before, maybe a little. It came up on an episode. We didn't come up on the Point Break episode. It came up on another while back. It came up on another one, but yeah, I know. I uh. There's a there's a podcast that I love called Junk Food Cinema that had a whole summer a couple of years ago dedicated to the Fast and Furious movies. And one of the things they talked about at length in their first episode on the first one was how it basically ripped off Point Break. And I mean both movies have a lot in common, absolutely sure, absolutely, but I think both movies are absolutely watchable too. For different reasons too.

2:07:10 Oh yeah, yeah, I think they're very different. I think point break is, while it does have a lot of action, it's a much more drama yeah filled thing as to where The Fast and the Furious is about family family family. But but but the Fast and the Furious, the big, the big difference is what makes Fast and Furious work, which is it ends up not being about turning the guys in and whatever. It becomes about connection, kinship. We make the joke about it's family, family, family, but that is the point. The point is it's the friends we make along the way. Maybe the real Fast and the Furious whether the friends made along the way. But thank you Jayden for writing in and for your thoughts and uh we just yeah, if you guys want to emails for any reason, whether it's to comment on something we talked about before or recommend a movie or both, it's do you even movie pod at gmail dot com And we do love to hear from you. And I guess that that's about it.

2:08:01 So would you like to know what we are continuing with next week? As we go through the dumping ground aka August Charming, we are gonna be diving into another nineties movie nineteen ninety eight, Blade with Wesley Sniper, currently rentable on Prime and Fandango. We're gonna be talking about the original Blade. It's probably been a good couple of years since I've seen that. I don't know if I've seen it since it came out. That's impressive. I might be that long. So I think that means we may have to watch Blade Trinity before we watch Blade. Yeah, I don't know if I've seen Blade Trinity. You haven't missed much. I might not have seen any of the sequels. So seriously, two two's I think I've seen one in two. I think that's it.

2:08:44 Yeah, because there's there's Blade, Blade two, Blade Trinity, and then there's technically the TV movie that they did for that Spike TV series, which I did watch that show. Well, but that's next week. Yes, it is some vampires, vampires vampires. So with all that being said, thank you guys so much for joining us tonight on Do You Even Movie.
