[00:01:29] pilot episode of Brink and Drink This is a Bramble Jam podcast Well, hello everybody welcome to the first ever episode of Brink and Drink a DCOM podcast I'm Bran. I'm here with Aaron and

[00:02:07] Dan Dan. It's a dream come true to be here, Bran. We talked about giving you a new name for this show Not that I'm opposed to being called Dino if you guys want to call me that in the chat

[00:02:18] Let's call you Dino. I just I feel like it would be confusing for people DECOM DINO That's very sweet. I was here headed this and if it wasn't for me this would not we wouldn't be here right

[00:02:27] Yes, that's true now. You might be wondering what is this? What's this show? Why is it called what it is? Well, it's very important because we have a drink and we're gonna talk about that in just a second

[00:02:38] But most importantly we're gonna be watching all of the DECOMs from first to present day today And Dan recent yes you are new to this world I've never seen a single DECOM not aside from the high school musicals which you guys made me watch

[00:02:57] This year this year so I've never seen any of them pretty big year for you 40 years old and I This was not a phenomenon for me I was when you blew those candles out on your birthday cake. This is this is

[00:03:09] My wish wish for more. I was 14 when the first one of these came out. I didn't have Disney Channel This was like a world that just was after me it just is not for me And so I'm interested because we had several people in talking about doing this

[00:03:24] We've been talking about doing it for forever that have said no, no, no They really hold up and I don't know how that's possible, but we're gonna find out You know, no, it's possible think about your favorite movie

[00:03:34] Yeah, but it holds up in a I remember it from when I was a child way But does it hold up to new viewership and we talk about this all the time but like

[00:03:42] Rookie of the year. I love that movie would it hold up to someone watching it now as an adult for the first time Yes, maybe that should be a segment if they have good taste

[00:03:51] Yeah, it does they do they have good taste would it would have worked for them. I don't know Aaron you have seen D comes as have I We have a decent amount of crossover

[00:04:04] But then also there's a handful that you've seen that I have not seen and maybe vice versa I don't know but I think you and I were both going into this one the first one from 1997 a little Little unsure. This was slightly, but you know, I was

[00:04:20] Five you were seven. Yeah, I think yeah by the time this had aired. Yeah, I had just turned seven. Happy birthday. Thank you So that's very exciting for us to also have Something new to explore today, but let's get to the first thing here it is

[00:04:37] Brink or drink which means we're going drink and drink We're gonna drink so I thought it was break and drink and drink and not bring or drink is we don't choose whether we're doing both Or drink bring in drink is a title of one of these films. Yes

[00:04:52] Okay, the best of all time named that even though we're only gonna cover it once yes So every episode we will drink most episodes. We will not break We will do a brand away to bring every time. Yeah, we'll do break break it break it down

[00:05:05] Each episode Aaron you have committed to giving us a festive movie themed drink to enjoy during the episode You have it here and I gotta say For the first episode you've outdone yourself give us this sweet sweet

[00:05:25] Under wraps themed beverage for us today walk it through for the people that want to join us along For the drinking part of drinking and drinking. Yeah Well, I should say you should join us for both parts drinking and the breaking right um I

[00:05:40] Started to look at drinks and recipes and stuff like that on a mummy theme Turns out most of those grossed me out So we are switching over and just kind of going for a Halloween

[00:05:52] And so we have a just a regular drink no alcohol for those of you who wish to drink Without the alcohol sure Mocktail yes, yes kids listening around the world

[00:06:06] Anyone for anyone that wants to enjoy with responsibly without alcohol of course. So we have an apple cider slushy We will post that recipe so you can make it and I love that Social media at break and drink it on yeah Don't hate that either

[00:06:25] And then we also have a nightmare on Bourbon Street. Okay now I'm more interested Wow Yeah, that's what I have here. Yeah, so the why knew which one you would like of course

[00:06:37] Yeah, yeah, we both went with that so the slushy. How do you make a slushy at home? So you basically just kind of What I don't know how to make a slushy slushy you get some water right in some cider you freeze it and then you

[00:06:50] Kind of scrape it up. Oh, okay. That's all there's to it It's it's it's it means you don't need freezes. You don't need to rent one of the machines Yeah If they say no no slushies to say dear party people

[00:07:09] listening to bring and drink and they told me to Rent a machine And then what's the British is verbatim sentiment? Yeah, I like that Looks wonderful We're gonna cheers and you can cheers with us for drinking and drinking episode one. That was very nice Here we go again

[00:07:29] You want to go one more time just no that's too. Yeah, no you and I have it. No, we have ready one more there We're great now. We all cheers each other. Let's be fans Why didn't we?

[00:07:40] That's nice. Why didn't we cheers all at once? I don't know. That's a good question. What's wrong with you? You got a bad one, yeah Dan can't handle his bourbon apparently they're making a face

[00:07:54] I'm a week day around a week day. He can't handle it. He can't handle it Sometimes Thursday afternoon is tough time for bourbon. All right, so next time slushy. Yes, slushy for me So we've done the drink and it's now time for come chat

[00:08:07] We break down the movie just in case you haven't watched we're talking about the first decomme It is considered the first decomme the only one of 1997 and then they really picked things up in 1998

[00:08:17] But this I think was before like Disney Channel original movie was like a thing that they were throwing around This was like but it is considered one and so we will cover this One that you can't find on Disney plus

[00:08:30] We were in good hands when this movie was not available for streaming anywhere aside from the YouTube Well, I think part of the reason actually a pretty great quality on the YouTube which you don't usually get

[00:08:42] But they remade this movie a couple years ago and also did a sequel Both Aaron and I were under the impression that they did a sequel to a 1997 movie which was a bold You guys confirmed that yeah

[00:08:56] I did not realize that they had I just thought the one that came a couple years ago was under wraps too And we just called it a day I did not realize that they have under wraps to 1997 and then under wraps 2021

[00:09:08] They do and so they only have a 2021 and so if you thought we were doing that We will eventually get there years from now But for now we found the 1997 version on YouTube and its entirety without ads so good looking out Whatever that channel was

[00:09:28] The first thing that stood out to me was Just how long the intro was now the intro was cool like as far as opening credit sequences go that you know Why was that a thing throwing the credits before the movie starts

[00:09:44] It's been around for a long time brand since basically feature films. This is why you need a drink handy Yeah, and and it's not something new To movies and it wouldn't be new for them to do that

[00:09:55] But why but why why the switch eventually to putting them at the end of the movie still do it at the beginning? I'm not Shyamalan pretty famously most of his There was in TV they used to do the title card and credits at the beginning

[00:10:10] But as TV became more popular if you missed that first Wouldn't know what you were watching and that's why that's why I hold open This is why TBS This is why TBS started on the 12 on the 5 Because that way if you're running a light you can still

[00:10:30] Movie still in theater you still get the the title card and a few credits Animation sequenced that did look cool, but there you go

[00:10:41] Um, it needed to pad its runtime. I mean they needed to get it all the way up to three hours or however long it was an hour 30 five hour 35 the movie kicks off with Something that looks that what's wrong? You don't like my drink your drink

[00:11:00] It's just it's a very it's a pungent Makes it sound bad. Yeah strong. Yeah, I'm sorry Like it and we have covered that that's right. We have covered it Think I'd love an nightmare on Bourbon Street, too. Don't we it's weird is it the cinnamon or the bourbon?

[00:11:18] Nerd this movie kicks off with What seems to be just like weird and the lighting is weird It's just like it looks out of place and that's because it is it's a it did we're at a Adam movie theater

[00:11:34] Yeah, we're at a movie theater watching a movie, but you don't know that and so I literally was writing down like it Is so dark with being the first one. I was like, oh wow they just they didn't even try with this

[00:11:45] I grew up in a household where we didn't have cable or the Disney Channel and we were anti Halloween And I watched the beginning of this movie where someone jams a knife in the garbage disposal knife up

[00:11:55] The garbage disposal on and tries to jam someone's eye on it as it spins around And I was like my parents were right the whole time. They're right about the Disney Channel They're right about Halloween being godless

[00:12:07] They're right about the whole enterprise and you made us pause so you could call your mom Apologize and then you're right the whole time We pan out and it turns out they're watching them and Dan you called this out

[00:12:17] But I'll let Aaron answer it the guy who was getting his head put into the knife we know him as He is the father on even Steven. Yes, of course First we will see him at some point

[00:12:33] I'm assuming we'll watch to even Steven's movie child gambling movie where he always ends up even yes His name Steven doesn't if you get so big You can watch even Steven's movie without having seen the entire show. I think it's a D-Com

[00:12:47] It is a D-Com. Okay, but it's baby It's like to figure out is are we doing the proud family that we gotta talk about You know just taking this one day one day at a time one movie at a time

[00:12:57] But the but the even Steven's movie isn't it like the finale of the show and move forward or they have more I say we get that that's a hard skip for me. You're a hard skip. Well, great

[00:13:07] I'm glad that we covered that but also why would I watch a D-Com? That's just a finale and extended cuz it's even Steven's it's shy love off Okay, it's Christy Carlson Ramona. Never mind. Christie Carlson Ramona is in it

[00:13:20] Don't you don't shoot here first. Hey, don't you dare? Don't you dare D now what else has Christie Carlson Ramona been in she is Kim possible. Okay, what else could that Kelly? She's the she's the CEO of Podco which does a lot of

[00:13:41] Podcasts about the Disney Channel, which maybe we should Doesn't she have a nest to classified life to yeah, that's like that Like all of those are in the same like Disney realm right, you know sometimes

[00:13:56] He's so he's Dean Dean. Oh, I'm not a fan of Dean is on another level. He didn't like to drink He doesn't like Christie Carlson Ramona Has not seen anything with her in it so we'll get there She'll be great To expand past Disney we love it

[00:14:14] So there's She's been on Broadway. She was Bell on Broadway. That is a legit credit I would I would I saw her Wow I met her I Didn't meet her and I was on the Disney Channel you can see me meeting Christie Carlson Ramona

[00:14:31] We do have a we have a guy a buddy of ours in the studio Rick. Have you seen? Hey, what first of all introduce yourself My name is Rick Dilley. It's nice to meet you Long time. What's your role here?

[00:14:45] So I I thought I got a break but apparently I'm here for yeah What's your role on this show? I thought decom was what happened when a b and c comms all were available

[00:14:55] And it was like we're at the last possible come like all of our comms have been taken and it's like we've got like a telegraph over here and Rotary phone and we're gonna I guess we're at the decon

[00:15:07] So why are you here? You called me interest so you don't have a role here It's like sometimes when you call someone and they don't necessarily want to be there But I walk into the room because you called them in there that's sometimes what happens

[00:15:24] That seems very specific All right, so we're in the movie theater We now know that we're watching a movie within a movie and somehow You're good somehow the movie that we're the decom's if you need me thank you everything else to shut down

[00:15:37] There's no email in the office. Okay, not available great. Yes, but more code if you need me We're watching a movie within a movie and some other movie We're watching is higher quality than the movie that they were watching but I don't know it's it's layered

[00:15:50] We meet two kids Marshall who was all in on The scary yeah, and his buddy Gilbert who is not in on the scaries classic not in on the scaries Gilbert Dan you said you weren't allowed to watch scary movies as a kid

[00:16:06] Do you remember the first scary that you saw and were you into it or were you more are you a marshal? Are you a marshal or Gilbert? I'm a Gilbert. No, no, I'm a marshal. I love scary Growing up I was never allowed to watch any of it

[00:16:19] So do you remember the first one you watched did you watch from behind your parents back? Um, I think this is not a scary movie But this should tell you everything you know when I was nine

[00:16:27] I watched the Goonies and I remember thinking this was like it was like very like intense scary They're they're looking for this treasure. They're underground. They're blah blah blah that would have been a portion of my sheltered life

[00:16:40] But then like actual scaries, I don't know it was a long time before I watched a horror movie Wow, so you're in are you a marshal or Gilbert? Yeah, you know, you don't like the scaries at all

[00:16:49] I don't love them. I can get behind them if there is Like a psychological component if there's like if it's not just gore for gore sake or jump scares Yeah, you want there to be something else? There has to be something else going on

[00:17:02] That's gonna keep me coming. I'm still not it's not that I necessarily get scared I don't have nearly as much interest in horror movies watching them by myself I think watching horror movies as a group is what makes it fun or with a friend

[00:17:15] Like that's what makes watching horror movies fun It's like, you know to experience those jump scares together right really what makes it right? So they're walking home afterwards and they come across a scary looking house. It's mr. Kubot Kubot Kubot's house and

[00:17:33] Gilbert let's just know that he is his paper boy Kubot's not his favorite boy. He's Kubot's Yeah, and it's basically like hey, he hasn't paid me in two years and Marshall's like well, let's go we're gonna go Let's go get that saying

[00:17:52] There's nothing you do I don't actually know keep delivering. I don't know how this all shakes out at the At the newspaper the paper delivered every morning. You're we're neighbors. Yes Yeah, I love with you so write him a check or send him a money order

[00:18:04] I haven't paid them for two years. Yeah, they just chuck. They just send it over They're just happy you would think though that it would all like it doesn't fall to the kid the paper boy to deal with that

[00:18:15] But whatever and so they go when they nod they ring the doorbell Kubot shows up opens the door Then six a dog on right away. It's your immediate. Let's try to kill these children situation The next day they're at school their friend Amy

[00:18:34] Shows up and says hey mr. Kubot died Now I thought maybe they were gonna get accused of killing this man but no it's just it's just a coinky dink and They are talking about this rumor that they've heard about mr. Kubot's house, which is that there is a

[00:18:53] Coffin in his basement we gotta go back Yes And so they decide to do that and I just want to say this when they go to pick up Gilbert Gilbert's mom is role-playing She says in the background. I'm role-playing

[00:19:07] And I don't know what to do with it, but it's there and That's just like fun never get any sort of answer to that. What that is just 1997 Fun, that's right role-playing So they head back to the house

[00:19:23] They try to break in through the basement and they like push the window open Which causes some stuff to fall down and as at that point that Amy realizes hey my mom is you know

[00:19:33] Like selling this house I can get the key basically so let's just walk on through the front door I do too because just ten minutes on this movie I want to say this a good probably all the time actually because when they pushed it open it caused

[00:19:48] The top of the coffin the suffocating the mister and soon I'm not gonna help him don't help him. Don't help him. This is five the sukoffagus Hi, I'm sue sue. So I have to meet you the so coffee. Yes, the whole coffee is family the

[00:20:05] Is that it so coffee? Yes, sarcophagus sarcophagus. I'll call it a coffin I've got her on the line. She's no we don't And so One of the bogger something slid it open a little bit causing the light from the full moon to shine in just right and

[00:20:26] It causes the mummy's hand to begin to move Yes And then also when they push the window thing open and it shoves all this stuff and it shoves the the coffin for you over there Gilbert also is a sarcophagus Yes Can't see what are my glasses so?

[00:20:50] They walk in and they start hearing some stuff and suddenly there is a mummy there and the mummy begins to chase them around And they're like oh no what's gonna happen, but then turns out muff mummy's solid dude nice

[00:21:03] Nice solid fella. He's a guy. I've got your glasses and by hey. He doesn't say anything. He's a lot of No, he cannot and so the next day They go back to Try to talk to this mummy again see what's going on and Amy's mom is there and

[00:21:24] She is like everything has been cleared out so They have come and everything has gone including the sarcophagus as I would say thank you. Thank you I'm a poet and so

[00:21:37] They're like we got to find this mummy and so we get to see as viewers at home some real mummy shenanigans Yeah, we see classic mummy shenanigans mummy walking through the drive-thru getting a drink orange soda Oh orange soda bit. It's great

[00:21:53] We see the mummy go into the hospital because he sees somebody across the street with a bandage on their face and says this much Be for me they do a full shock shock. Yes, the doctors see him and they're like hey He's not he's breathing

[00:22:08] We got to shock him back to life and then it makes his know he is moving and making yes, no heartbeat But that doesn't matter I always rely on Whether or not it I can pick up the pulse and not what's right in front

[00:22:20] This is an important part of this movie called mummy shenanigans like if you have this movie on the Disney Channel And you don't have a solid half a dozen bits That are just the mummy doing real-world stuff and being like oh

[00:22:34] This is fish out of water a mummy's out of his sarcasm Then you know You don't really have a Disney movie and so that's this checks the box of that and I'm not saying movies But I get it you were saying

[00:22:47] That this as the money mummy shenanigans was going on is that this is what you expect? These movies to be literally when I saw him walk through the drive-thru and him just go

[00:22:58] And then know what he was ordering in the drive-thru and then get the orange soda and burp I was like this is what I expect for a hundred and seventeen straight movies

[00:23:06] And I didn't get as much of it in this one as I thought I was gonna get I did the hijinks are Kind of at a minimum they minimum hijinks minimum hijinks

[00:23:15] I I will say when they have them they make the most of them, but they don't have them that often right yeah And so he's walking out of the hospital

[00:23:26] The kids are trying to find the mummy and they do see him and they go across the street and they grab him We decide that we're gonna name the mummy At this point. What's an old thing Harold's because Marshall's Uncle Yeah, and he reminds him of them so

[00:23:47] They then go to a mummy Museum that is in town It's a bookstore, but the guy also sells no no no Yes, and So they go there and Harold is immediately drawn to this specific Scarcophagus scar

[00:24:14] Specific coffin and he opens it up. It was the name of all of those lines in the Lion King scar Cophagus Simba Cophagus Mufasa Carpacus All right Mufasa Carpacus nice to meet you right nice to meet you. I'm a fossil Mufasa Carpacus, right?

[00:24:32] I love that for you. I love it when you make fun of me. It's so fun And Sue is the lion you never get to meet in the lion King He's very sad like he this is clearly the love of his life and he's sad

[00:24:45] He misses the love of his life and and we hate that for him. We do find out At that bookstore that Dan was talking about we get some Also sell monster and he just kind of like knows everything and he's like oh, yeah

[00:25:00] If this is what I think it is if you don't get them back by Midnight on Halloween or whatever then the mummy you know Harold's done for like yeah, Deuce is wild now This is where things get a little weird

[00:25:14] You guys know remember the beginning of the movie The guy who died Kubot you remember him. Yeah turns out Kubots not dead We see Kubot in an old ice cream factory Having all of his Egyptian's ice cream so, you know, wow Congratulations, shut up shout out to Evan

[00:25:39] and He's getting all of his Egyptian artifacts loaded into the factory and We're just like I guess he's not dead Whatever we do find out find out later due to some just fantastic Plots explanations from Kubot himself that he has found himself in some light

[00:26:01] tax evasion and so to you know, he's got a lot of deals Kind of cooking with these Egyptian artifacts So he saw it fit to kill himself What's a fake fake his own death the IRS would leave him alone and now he can sell his fake artifacts

[00:26:19] or real artifacts but After faking his own death including Harold. He was gonna sell Harold's apartment fire ready to go ready to Go locked and loaded lots more shenanigans though before we get there

[00:26:33] We got a Harold dressing up in like some 70s garb so he doesn't scare the people We have the group going to a Halloween party which Harold can kind of blend into because you know, he's a mummy It's Halloween. It's weirdly wants to eat fit

[00:26:48] It isn't anything all movie but he does decide there's a fish in a fish tank and he's gonna grab it and eat it Yeah, which is weird. He's not been hungry all movie or anything. I don't even know if he can't be hungry

[00:26:57] I'm not sure of the sort of city for eating fish. I don't understand it It's it's a monster thing The hijinks that one was the one that maybe stuck out as being the hijink that made no sense Yeah, I think it's in there just for hijinks sake

[00:27:10] I just for the sake of it and that's well, you know, he does get a drink So it's not that he's he's not adverse to Consuming beverages or food. It's just not something I don't think he Gets the drink with the intense of like this is a drink

[00:27:26] But do you think he's Want to eat the fish or does he just want to catch the fish in his mouth? They make him take it out of his mouth put it back in the tank. Yeah, that fish has stories for years

[00:27:46] Right do you like fish? Oh, I'm back. I'm on the cums. I'm on the decom. Do you like fish? I do a lot of a little black and halibut you kid me right now. Wow slap your mom

[00:27:58] But it's so good you would slap your I'm not asking you to It's so good. It makes you want to slap your mom. That's the same, right? So Nope It's so good that I would like to hit my mother Thank You right at At the party

[00:28:20] Someone ends up pulling back his bandage from his face and everybody freaks out because they see now that he's a scary face and just at that time Kubot's Bad baddies are coming in there. They spot them. They capture them the kids run away They're able to get away

[00:28:41] But but the but Harold has now been captured by Kubot in the baddies saw him live Dude Kubot in the baddies is a great name for a scoban. Yeah, like an unbelievable name for a Scott and in 97 when he came out

[00:28:54] Did the fact that no one like latched on to that? No, like we're called Kubot in the baddies is Is just a missed it is a missed opportunity should we form out for me get up pick it up pick it up And so though luckily for the kids

[00:29:08] They know of the ice cream factory that he is gonna be held at so they go along with what's the guy's name Bruce Yeah, Bruce That runs the bookstore and Monster Prop shop. Yes, they are his number one customers Of course

[00:29:27] And I think he does at one point in the movie realize how weird it is He does say I need friends my own age. Yep. Yep. Yep. So good Good on you Bruce. At least you realize the first step to

[00:29:38] Fixing your problem is acknowledging that you have one. Yeah, so good job Bruce so they go they all kind of get in there spread out and Marshall finds Harold and he's chained up hands up hands up chained up

[00:29:52] situation and he gets them free and they're gonna go but then Kubot and the in the baddies once again like hey They got them all caught got them. We got all of you and Except for you maybe ask yourself. What are they gonna do? Where is Gilbert?

[00:30:08] I think that's why we were all wondering but as you know from the beginning Gilbert's a scaredy cat so he wasn't interested in going into the ice cream factory of doom and so but luckily

[00:30:20] He did have a car and he knew the exact time to drive that car into the factory Breaking everybody free and then the baddies are like no big deal. We're fine and then a bunch of like

[00:30:34] Pipes and stuff fall on top of just the baddies. I think so Cylindrical debris some bad stuff on top of all the bad people Killing seriously injuring we don't know Knocking out we don't see them ever again. That's right. So

[00:30:55] It's up to you. It's up to you at home. That's right to decide and So they bring Harold back to the mummy museum that you know, we have in town and he Takes off. He's wearing his

[00:31:11] Goes right back into the sarcophagus, right? And then that's the end. No, it's not the end. We've got another sarcophagus There's another sarcophagus. It's Harold and Harold and Jamie coffee Jamie Coffee guess and Jamie coffee guess is the love of his life. You remember

[00:31:25] He's been like a sad sap ever since seeing her and he takes off of his Amulet and like gives it to her something and she like opens up her eyes and now they can Reps to now they can die together They're gonna now rest. Yes in peace

[00:31:44] eternity, that's right and that is not the end Marshall is now like I miss I miss my big friend Harold I don't want anything to do with monsters what I do want something to do with is Amy

[00:31:58] I like her and so he gets all fancy fancy because he Gilbert and Amy are gonna go to a movie and he opens up the door and Amy's there

[00:32:09] And she's looking nice and then they just start ragging on each other again as kids do they walk off and that was Yes, yes, yes the 1997 version I don't know what A couple years, but we're not there now. I don't know

[00:32:27] Well, I do have an idea what's that for the next one? What if the next segment is called over time? It's called overtime. Okay, and the reason it's called overtime is is you get to give your opinion on the movie

[00:32:53] And if you've seen it before you get to give an opinion and as it was when you watched it originally And how it's changed over time Or if you've not watched it until now you get to decide if this movie holds up now as being the first time

[00:33:08] You like that what about that? Yes time for overtime None of us have well Aaron vaguely remembers it but so it is a six I don't think that counts as a

[00:33:19] Viewing so we can just go right down the line here Dan. This is your first D. Com an interesting one in that Disney doesn't really seem to claim it anymore. They're like we're gonna remake it and then just act like this one doesn't exist

[00:33:32] It's like first on the list Will decomp weren't quite a thing yet, but any other thing that we're doing here under wraps. What do you think Dano? I? I guess I feel like we're not really starting this yet because this movie isn't one that Disney

[00:33:48] Wants you to see anywhere? Having said that this is about what I expected For better and for worse So I think that there's some parts of this movie the silly hijinks of this movie that I'm like This is what I expected and I'm fine with that

[00:34:04] I don't think it holds up now, but as a an eight-year-old this would have been the highest brow of humor, right? Mommy's going through the drive-through you just get on a skateboard Yeah, come on

[00:34:14] I mean like dressing like it's the 70s when it's the 90s all that stuff would have worked for me as an eight-year-old It doesn't work for me now and that's fine But also this movie seems really long like it goes on

[00:34:27] For quite. Oh, I mean, I know it's 95 minutes, but it feels like it's two hours A lot of extra baggage the kids are really mean to each other so mean meaner than I was in 1997 I was 14 years old what is the kid?

[00:34:39] What's the little girls they had the beginning of the movie? Gilbert looks at her and says shut up you cow To our like just right to her like it's no big deal

[00:34:49] And then she I have I have many of her liners. I give me Amy's lines. Well, yeah go ahead Give me some of those well She tells someone to open a vein at one point and wow Say that on any channel much less like kids channel. Yeah

[00:35:06] It's some yeah, so she talks about how she sleeps in the nude Yeah, she does reference that she sleeps completely naked They're all making fun of each other's pajamas and then she's like jokes on you. I sleep in the new like why yeah

[00:35:18] This is this is a show for like tweens guys Take it easy. So I would say all in all I I didn't have a good time I did not like it at all. But if Disney doesn't claim this

[00:35:29] It gives me some hope that the other ones might be bearable But this was a slog aside from mommy shenanigans This was a slog and I did not really enjoy myself

[00:35:39] But I'm hopeful that this isn't the best or even the middle of what the D comes have to offer And I'm being cautiously optimistic here because brand you're worried. I'm just gonna ruin all I don't want you

[00:35:50] To I don't want you to do that. I'm gonna give you an honest take I just this movie didn't work for me. I if I had seen it in 97 when I was 14 I probably would have thought it was a little bit lame

[00:35:59] But if I had seen it when I was like eight or nine I would have been like yeah, this is the stuff Especially since I wasn't allowed to watch scary movies. So so yeah, I didn't like it. It didn't hold up It's way too long but also like

[00:36:10] hopeful hopeful that they get better and and we've got we've got some more positives to talk about Aaron Yeah, so as we mentioned, I Thought I hadn't seen this and as we were watching it a lot of it came back was like yeah

[00:36:23] I'd probably watch this right when it came out and then never watched it again and watching it today I realized why I had never watched it again It does not hold up in my opinion a lot of the dialogue Just made me cringe shut up you cow

[00:36:39] There is a talk where when they're discovering who Harold was in his previous life He was a priest who was celibate and then they have a whole joke about what celibacy is and it means no chicks And oh, I could never do that like great. You're nine

[00:36:53] Anybody out there that is like old and thinks the kids programming on TV now is like Inappropriate and we need to get back to how we were we used to make kid programming I challenge you to go watch this movie. It will wreck you

[00:37:07] Like yeah, I mean I just cringed a lot at their dialogue. They were Amy was so mean Yeah, and not even just her friends like to Bruce to the other adults everybody just Yeah, and you don't know what her home life's like

[00:37:21] Also, we don't know what her home life's like because she never but she never even apologized This is just what cool kids act like I could totally see why Disney remade this and then like didn't put this on Disney Plus her yeah, I could see what I'm like

[00:37:35] Let's pretend we never did that But yeah, I think as a kid it was like a fun Like scary, you know not so scary but a fun like Halloween movie that you could watch that wouldn't terrify you But I don't know I felt like it took forever

[00:37:48] I kept asking if we had a plot yet like I yeah, it took forever for us to get there The first scene where we introduced the bad guys

[00:37:55] I didn't quite know why they were there and you could just tell they were bad based on the music that was playing And then we end up with tax evasion. So I don't know when they also keep saying we got to get this Harold back in his

[00:38:07] Sarcophagus by midnight and I kept thinking do we have to wait till literal midnight? Do we have to actually wait till it's midnight here for this? Yeah, it's actually a real time. It's real time It's a real like they know when you're watching they know yeah

[00:38:21] Sleeping yeah, I liked it when I was seven. I didn't hate watching it today But I understand why I but he was you didn't hate watch it hate watching it today because it's the first one

[00:38:30] There's a lot of built-in excitement there on this way will I ever watch it again? No, no, I would never ever ever Brando Yeah about the same I Although Dan's

[00:38:41] Review was that you liked the hijinks and didn't really like anything else. I'm almost the opposite. I like I like the kids Doing the kids stuff and like trying to figure stuff out

[00:38:53] And then like any time it was just the mummy doing stuff like I laughed but I was kind of like I want to get back To the thing I like the key. I thought the kids were solid in this movie

[00:39:03] And I think that's one my the thing that I remember with D comes is there are some memorably bad Performances in some of these movies, but by and large like it's like man look at this This is look at these kids just acting and doing stuff

[00:39:19] And I felt these kids did a good job where they mean to each other Sure, they weren't mean to each other, but also kids are pretty brutal so

[00:39:26] And the 90s anything went and anything goes that I do feel like that was true to that time for sure clear on your On the acting barometer that you're watching through yes these child actors you think were really really good. I Thought they were come

[00:39:43] For a D come no, no, they're not even up there for D come, but I did feel like they were solid Okay. Yeah, let go like okay I'm watching through the lens of like what we see in

[00:39:54] Hallmark movies we also do a podcast of course called deck the hallmark I'll review a lot we review hallmark movies and we get to see a lot of like kid actors and like I'm just kind of

[00:40:05] You know comparing those these performances of those performances because they're in a similar type of budget Oh, and I just kind of like like these perform like these kids Like I felt like the kids had chemistry with one another and worked well with each other

[00:40:19] Yeah, but it was definitely it felt like it lasted in eternity. I do agree with that and I'm not gonna show it to my kids anytime soon. No, I'm

[00:40:28] But I don't like hate the idea of this movie and so I am intrigued by what they come up with in 2021 like when they remake this movie will check that out in 2025-26 will we how will it connect for with us after seeing this one?

[00:40:44] Well, it will of course land a little bit better Um Yeah, that's it. That's my overtime fair fair fair fair It's time for the last segment right which is called making the list making the list Now I will say for those of you at home real quick

[00:41:07] The our segments spell out dee-com and I don't want to we didn't really we're trying to try I was figured out and I was trying to play on the radio. I couldn't do anymore

[00:41:15] I'm proud of it drink calm chat over time and making the list and you didn't let people just I'm worried I'm worried that they I didn't my biggest fear is that we did it and no one noticed

[00:41:28] That was my biggest fear. I couldn't let fate run with that my biggest fear in life One episode and go this the names of the segments were stupid I'm not listening again. Yeah, and then now that they heard you they're back on their back on board now

[00:41:43] They see you leave us a review on the app now They see it's great. It was a creative choice creative decision that we made we spelled out dee-com I will say this normally are making the list is gonna be where you just fit in on your overall list

[00:41:56] Yeah, of dee-coms and then give your current top five and bottom top three So I'll take some time to get there since this is the first one and it's my number one and best and worst

[00:42:05] And yours for the sake of this current like to ask you to what your Off the top of your head Maybe your top two or three current as you remember them remember you could watch them and then maybe they don't hold up

[00:42:19] Let me just say this I'll answer it this way. There are a handful of dee-coms that I watch on rotation You are a grown man. So for instance this time of year, but I also So surprising so this time of year I

[00:42:35] Watch mom's a day with a vampire and Phantom of the Megaplex every single year without fail I watched brink on a regular basis. I think it's the absolute goats and I'm thrilled

[00:42:46] Podcast is called brink and drink even though we don't break in any of these moot. We do break once and it's only Breaking is a way of life you'll get it once you see it

[00:42:57] But tell me your just tell me the top three like your three that you think are the best not for this time of year Like break is one. That's why I guess hard to rank them

[00:43:04] But but I the ones that I go back to the ones that I liked most so I'll watch look at the Irish And all-time classic every March every March you got to watch that Moto cross just great

[00:43:16] Smart house is an absolute classic. So there's something like I don't know how I'm gonna end up ranking this guy. I have to that's my favorite I think Brinks my favorite of all time, but we'll see how it shakes out Aaron

[00:43:30] You want like you just my top three Like on top of your head the three that you like more than the rest of them. We just drank again When are we gonna break anytime we say break we have to drink Some of those

[00:43:48] When you say every time we say break you drink you have been clinking not drinking. Oh, yeah, it's a break. Don't why are you trying that? I do do I'm welcome. Okay. Don't worry. We're gonna figure it out. Yeah, um, I think

[00:44:07] Number one, I would have to say high school musical Just the original. Yeah, yeah It doesn't make me that doesn't make me too terribly But can I just say this I almost didn't even get get to give her full ranking

[00:44:25] Because I almost feel like high school musical is its own thing That was my hesitation is it's not even a de-gon but it is like It's okay. Okay. No, here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing

[00:44:38] There are decoms and then there's like the high school Musical era where it's like high school musical and you get camp rock and they kind of start doing like some different stuff

[00:44:47] We're gonna watch all those on this podcast. Yeah, I'm just letting you know how I think of it Dan get rid of that I'm just letting you know right now. Give it that way. It doesn't matter I'm letting you know that is how I think of them too

[00:44:58] But for the sake of this podcast I will play by but that's why like high school musical wasn't even on a list because as I'm thinking about I'm like I forgot that is even a thing. You think high school musical is the best of these

[00:45:07] It's its own thing Stop it. Are we ranking by like qualitatively what I think is the best or what's my favorite? Yeah, what are your favorites? What do you like to watch? smart house um, and then I think Oh, Kelly xenon

[00:45:23] Xenon, I'm not listen runner up motocross motocross is great. Here's the thing I'm actually not I haven't seen xenon in a long time I remember not being as high on xenon as everybody else And I'm excited to go back to that one because it's been a long time

[00:45:38] I just really like was it kimberley storm ravin simone Gregory smith like it's a great cast in my opinion And who didn't want to live on the space station like that look like some people also love the halloween town

[00:45:49] And I never really I I never really got into the halloween towns either and so i'm excited to dive into those I love halloween town one two and three I'm fascinated at what's gonna happen when you guys have to actually put these in a ranking one to five

[00:46:00] I'm gonna have to rank on one seventeen. I'll lose share your top. I'll lose sleep. Yeah, you lose sleep Yeah, it's gonna be right now my number one is under wraps under wraps
