Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Hillary Dough, singer, actress, and multi-plattener artists. You desire in family like this picture. And that's not reality.

My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt, the case of Lucy Letby. We unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023. But what if we didn't get the whole story? It has been made to fit. The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapsed.

What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe? Oh my god, I think she might be innocent. Listen to doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm sorry.

I was going to start with something very clever.

And now I take it off the the second cookie pastry debate.

No, we're not. We're moving forward. You said you're right. We're moving forward.

“Well, I think the best way to move forward is with incredible”

modern technology. Oh, did you see the transition that I just did? Yes. But you own a robot. Do you have a robot Butler?

No. You don't have a functional robot Butler to take your memory. Well, robots kind of scare me. Like I feel like I would. I mean, I think it's probably just like the devastation of like smart

house. Like it's like you just.

You never know what it's going to be too smart and out smart you.

Like so those like generic things that would make your life easy. Yes. It's like the simple fact that our the generation now has no idea how to use a Thomas guide because, you know, and write a rotary phone or Yes, other stuff.

Yeah, right. Or even just have the ability to go. Okay. I'm going to make a right on this street, a left on this street. And then a right on the street.

“Most of them can't remember that kind of stuff because it's so much easier”

to look down at your phone and get you there. So I'm kind of not really somebody who's ready to jump in to having something like that like a robot butler or a nanny in your house. Are you one of these crazy people, though, that knows north southeast and west where it's like I hit the road, I take a I go north.

And then once you get to that road, go south. Do you do that? I can't do that. I know it for like three ways like my route that I do often. Let's be honest.

I've got like a 10 mile Diane. Right. Yeah. I don't go much farther than that. But like so I know the freeways that I go on.

I've got to get myself to LA, all of those, those are memorized. Sure. And when I get off the freeway, I do know at that point if I'm going south or north. Oh, God. I do know that.

But that's just from going the same place over and over again. Do I take a left or right at the Chick-fil-A?

Yeah. How many go north? I don't know what that means. I don't. Yes.

And it's such an older generation. My dad will be like, Oh, yeah. You go north. This. I'm dead.

That's not helpful. I need a left. That does that. He also does it with ridiculous, like, location, finder things.

So I'll be like, OK, on the left, there's a dented sign. Yeah. You're going to want to go north. I'm like, OK. Oh, yeah.

Or like a bus stop. Oh, yeah, Dad. I recognize bus stops. I know. It's crazy.

I know. Well, you're missing out on a robot Butler. I've got one. Oh, how is that?

“Does it keep all your books and things that are behind you?”

I recognize the. I recognize. I recognize. I recognize. I recognize.

I don't. I'm not scared at all that one day. I was going to turn red and he's going to kill me in my sleep. OK. Because of the three robotic laws, everybody knows that.

Anyway, welcome back to magical rewind. You show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs, and your popcorn, and go back to a time and all the houses were smart. The waves, tsunamis, and the high school's musical. I'm well for Dell. And I'm Sabrina Bryan.

Oh, fire up the computer and update your X17 software we're programming love for the 2014 sci-fi romantic comedy How to build a better boy. It debuted on Disney Channel August 15, 2014.

First announced earlier in the summer during the premiere of another T-com.

Zap it. I'm saying it from now on. It is that it's zapped. I know the. This one was shot in.

Uh, of lip the coin. Yes, you guessed it. People Toronto, Canada, most of the North Toronto collegiate institute for just over a month of shoot days, which in place looked gorgeous. The debut drew in a very impressive 4.6 million viewers and included the other debut of Ariana Grande. Who everybody knows is the biggest Grande you can get the biggest Ariana out there. The music video for break free during a commercial break. Hmm.

Do you know break free?

“I don't but it surprises me because Ariana's the Nickelodeon kid.”

So I know. I know. What she doing premier and something here on the channel. I don't know. Very interesting.

I mean, she's your channel Ariana venta. Come on. Ha ha ha ha. It's just it's just surprising to me because she was Ariana Grande was on Nickelodeon. Yes.

Like a huge show on Nickelodeon. This is when her music career was like breaking out. But she came from the Nickelodeon channel. So that's what surprising is. That's not, you know, Disney kind of keeps their their allegiance right with their own kids.

So he was on a show called Victoria's cheese. I was on Nickelodeon.

I've never even heard of these things.

Of course. So I was on real Nickelodeon was the 80s. Uh, it's because radio Disney really played a lot of her music. Okay. Okay.

All right. That makes sense. I always zoom radio Disney is just the emergency channel for Disney. Where it's like, oh, this is not a drill. Everybody under your desk.

Like stuff like that. Like that's always thought radio Disney was. But apparently. No. It was like a full blown radio station.

They brought in all of like the up and coming artists. For sure. It's it's sad that it's not around as much anymore. Well, you know what, we'll start it over. Now, listeners of my generation will recognize this movie.

As a soft gender swap kids version of the 1985 John Hughes comedy Weird Science. Sorry. Anthony Michael Hall Kelly the Brock and Bill Paxton. Well, a lot of people will say with 2026 goggles might be a little problematic. But I don't give a I don't want to hear it.

It's an amazing movie come at me and I will start swinging. Uh, it was a big enough movie at the time to spin into a TV sitcom. Have you ever seen Weird Science? I have. I actually really liked that movie when I was younger.

It was so cool. And I've gotten like just all the the the technology that was in like those kids, like, kids, like, bedrooms. That's like so cool. I loved it. But I do get now. Of course.

Even I swear this weekend when I was like, What movie are we watching this week? And then it was how to build a better boy. I went. Wow, when was this film?

Because just the title alone goes. Yes. So opposite than where we're at in 2020.

And it makes sense because if they they never would have made how to build a better girl.

Yeah. The same year they never would have done it.

“The fact that they're doing how to build a better boy now is just as like what?”

I know. Everything's problematic when you look back at it 20 years ago. I mean, there's stuff we're doing right now today that seems totally fine. That 20 years from now your kids are going to be like, I can't believe you ever did that mom.

I'm sure. Okay. So don't come at me. It's a staple of my childhood. I loved Weird Science.

Watch it for what it was. That's a yes, absolutely. It was a funny device. It was after the world. It's my call at his like right here. I'm the 16 candles Anthony Michael, another movie that's amazing.

And of course problematic. Watch it for what it is people. Yes. And everyone, I know there's a bunch of people screaming at their radios right now going. That's what we're telling you to do with de-combs will watch it for what it is.

Hey, to Shay, I hear you. I'm still not going to change what I say. And as far as de-combs, I'm also quite confident that while developing this movie, Pixel Perfect probably came up a few times since the just of both of these movies are very similar. So we can admit that this one isn't necessarily original,

but frankly, it knows that. Yeah. So with your history of Weird Science, I want to know before the invention of magic we went. Had you heard about how to build a better boyfriend. I haven't.

And I have to be honest to even the star characters in this movie were brand new to me. I don't, and I'm sorry if we've actually seen them before in another movie that we've watched, but that, that wasn't even really aware of either one of the main two-girl characters, as far as what show they came from. Oh, really?

Oh, really?

“What she was in, um, who descendants too, and all the movie since?”

Who? China and McClain, Gabby. No. Yeah. What?

She's over. Oh, she looks so much older and mature. Oh, my gosh. I knew it right, even I knew it right away. I was like, oh my god, she's great.

Yeah. Now you're putting it together. My gosh. Now I love to. I did.

Wow.

But see, I'm thinking, this is a show I've never seen.

I'm thinking they're pulling from the channel. Oh, she's so great. I mean, amazing. She's amazing. But I kept going, I don't even know either one of these girls.

Like, again, I don't read any of the things that we get. I just walked it fresh. Right. Yeah. I love it now.

Oh, my gosh. Wow. Oh, okay. Knock knock, who's there? Never heard of this movie.

So, uh, it is a joyous day here. I'm actually going to rewind because this movie is directed by the man himself. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, no, he's bad to the home. Yes, decomb daddy, the one the only polho and it's been a minute.

But we're thrilled to welcome his name back to the pod. And what perfect timing zombies, five, just got announced. It's in the works. We've got so many people back. We got new faces.

It has been a glorious week. Yeah. It's going to be good. It's a good decomb week. It is.

Yes. So we're thrilled to have his name back in the pod. He's one of the indisputable architects of the decomb who currently leads the way on the highly successful zombies franchise as we're talking about. Zombies five, this time it's personal again.

But in the past directed cheetah girls two,

and he's million dollar cook off the luck of the Irish,

jump in, let it shine and true confessions. That's just an even few. It would be difficult to chisel the decomb out, rush more without needing to study the face of one polho. And that is absolutely correct.

“And now, if you want to build a better boyfriend,”

you can. It's available to stream right now on Disney+. So we suggest watching it with a big buck at a popcorn or a family sized bag of candy or a humongous jar of pickles or a burlap sack filled with baby carrots or lunchbox packed with palm agranic seeds.

It's really up to you. But we know you're hungry. So treat yourself and stay healthy. Now jump into your Humvee and fry them other board. Let's hear this anopsis.

Two tech savvy best friends may and Gabby use military software to create Albert, a robotic boyfriend to fulfill May's wildest dreams. Only discover he's a super soldier and now they must deal with the authorities to retrieve him. Sabrina?

Early thoughts on this movie. Early thoughts.

I'm going to be honest, it felt like it was going fast for the first

like, you know, I loved the energy right in the front. Like, and I love a movie that's going to give me kind of what I'm looking forward towards the end and then jump ahead. I love the start of a movie like that. Like, sure, we get where we're going and what the drama ends

like builds to and then we jump ahead on how we get there. Then from like minute five six to a good chunk of 15 minutes I went, it was just going really slow. I mean, we didn't even meet our villains.

“I think until 30 minutes in, we didn't even really”

really villains. And they were really villains. So it was, it was a little slow towards the end. I was like, all right, I'm hooked. Like, I, I want to got rolling for me.

I was hooked. I thought it was like, you said, like, I, of course it gave me all the like nostalgia for me of weird science. You know, so I was kind of like, I like this spin on it. I liked it better than pixel perfect.

And I was kind of starting to create like somewhat compare it to the things that we've seen so far. But at the beginning, it got, it was like, oh, yes. And then it like, and it slowed down for me for a little bit. And then it finally picked up speed.

I kind of agree. I thought it was okay. I think this movie was a decent concept that needed a massive rewrite. Oh, really?

Yeah, a lot of the story made no sense. A lot of the character arcs made no sense. The villains were absolutely pointless. Even the military turned out to be pointless. Like a lot of it.

Well, we'll get into it. But it was, it was strange for me. It wasn't bad.

It looked great.

It looked like a $50 million budget.

I mean, they did a lot that I thought was really good.

“But I think it needed a rewrite the story.”

There was a couple of things. And it got to me. Obviously we'll get there. So much. But like when we got to the football game, I was like,

wait, now there's like a football, a big football game on the lie. Like they're, it started to get a little bit like where, what's the end result of where we're going. Yeah. There's a lot like that.

But yeah. The movie stars China and McLean as Gabby. China's career began at a very young age appearing in Adam Sandler's grown-up movies. Then she turned into a Disney channel.

Favorite in shows like Jonas. Wizards of where really placed. McStuffins and Ant Farm, which she was the star of. Better boys was her first decomb. But since then, she went on to play Uma into Sand.

And it's too unbeknownst to Sabrina. And all the results may be said. And absolute miss. Outside of the channel.

“She also played Jasmine Payne on almost 200 episodes of”

House of Payne and Jennifer Pierce in Black Lightning. And then Kelly Bergland plays her best friend May. Bergland began her career alongside the odds version of Barney. Hip Hop Harry. Be heard of hip hop Harry.

No. Neither. But now I got to watch it. Bergland is an impressive dancer who would later be cast as Breathe Davenport on the Disney XD Show.

Labrets. And appeared on the Goldbergs and the wrestling drama. Heels. Marshall Williams is Albert. The boyfriend of tomorrow.

The Canadian local has been in a ton of Christmas movies. It looks like he was built for Christmas movies.

That's the guy who's the hometown guy that the girl always goes back to.

He leaves big city guy for including the, I love these titles. The jingle bell Jubilee. A sprinkle of Christmas and the upcoming Cowgirl for Christmas. Matt Chiveley plays Bart. Matt was a star over on the other kids channel.

channel we were just talking about Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick

adventures, Austin and Naly and girl meets world. But you may know her as one of Matt Chivele's co-stars on True Jackson VP, or from her time with Kelly Burgland in Labyrinth, so they all knew each other. And before his recent glow up, we get Noah sent it today,

oh, as Jaden. We now all know Noah as Peter in the hit movie franchise to all the boys I've loved before. You have no idea what that is, but it's so good. But he was also in the bad Charlie's Angels 2019 reboot,

the TV show The Fosters and the Kids program, Jesse. Now his career has a ton of buzz, and he's in like a dozen movies coming out, including some very incredible projects like Gundam with Sydney Swiny Street Fighter, where he's going to be playing Ken, yes, and oh, my childhood heart.

He'll be John Rambo in the upcoming Rambo Prequel. - Rambo like, is it so slow? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - When I started, wow, good for him. - Now we'll do it a prequel about when I was a kid.

“So if they're building a better boy, why not build a better movie?”

And we all know if you're looking for a perfection on screen, it is 90 minutes, no more, no less. So what did this decome clock in that? - I'm gonna guess it's real close 'cause it's our boy Paul, he knows. - He does it, it's 89 minutes, one off the target,

but as always, you can depend on the great Mr. Owen himself.

- Daddy Paul for a speedy storytelling. So we appreciate being below and not above 90, and we're gonna forget the one minute and move on without any judgment. As for the script, it was written by Jason Mayland.

Jason was a writer and producer of the Reality Competition Show wipeout, as well as the Jeff Dunham Show and Disney Junior's Eureka. This was actually his only movie. (upbeat music)

- Next Monday, our 2021 six-eye-hard podcast awards are happening live in South by Southwest. - This is the biggest night in the podcast thing. - We'll honor the very best in podcasting from the past year and celebrate the most innovative talent

and different perspectives.

“And I find a lot of people with strong placements”

and Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has told me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms on different houses in different places

but just an embracing of the isness of it. - If you're navigating your own transformation or just wanna chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen.

- Listen to the spirit otter podcast starting on February 24th on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast. - Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Hillary Duff,

singer, actress, and multi-platenem artist. Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics,

motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years.

We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. - It's a raw and honest conversation

“about identity, evolution, and building a life”

that truly matters. - You desire in family like this picture and that's not reality, a lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak, it's definitely a very painful part of my life

and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. - Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - In 2023, a story gripped the UK,

evoking horror and disbelief. - The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. - Everyone thought they knew how it ended.

A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. - Lucy Leppi has been found guilty. - But what if we didn't get the full story? - At the moment, you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.

- I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Leppi was.

or wherever you get your podcasts. - I'm Clayton Nackard, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. - Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.

He became the first bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected.

The internet turned on him. - If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. - But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines? - It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom

with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. - The media is here, this case has gone viral. - The dating contract. - Agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. - We're such one.

- This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. - I'm Stephanie Young, this is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said she said and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. - I ain't done nothing to get murdered by the f*ck!

- Brassler! - Listen to Love Trapped on the I-Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - So now, I'll apply Chapsdick and prep for the big moonlight dance.

A kiss is on the horizon, as is the breakdown of how to build a better boy. - We open in Washington, D.C., military humvies speed through the streets, sirens of blazing, floodlights are blown out as soldiers scale fences

and repel from the roof. It's a emergency and an expensive one. You could tell the budget going right in. Eventually, a decorated general and a phrasal doctor exit in SUV, he announces that the fugitives are on site,

even the president is interested in what's going on

because they've lost track of a $3 billion weapon.

They're ready to get the world's most dangerous criminals, but the doctor who's related to one of these heartless criminals is hoping to talk them out of it. The general has held bent on doing whatever it takes to get them into custody.

And then these heartless thugs reveal themselves, they are two teenage girls. And the doctor is one of their dads. They surrender with their hands up,

“and that's how we start how to build a better boy.”

- Exciting. - I thought it was. - Yeah, it was touching one of the things. - Yes, that I was going to say at the beginning too. This is probably the most adults we've almost ever seen

in a D-com and it all happens within the first half of the second exactly exactly. It's like it and it is like holy cows. There's so many don't have any names in it. - Yep.

- And normally it's kids, it's like all kids loaded.

But I did it, it was like a lot of energy. We really haven't seen much of this kind of life. - It was a good way to start the movie. - Yes, you can see it clearly from walls. They're jumping over fences.

I was like, oh hell yeah, this is cool. - It was, it started very well.

And then we get something we've never seen in a D-com.

We get quick shots of the main characters, the bedrooms during the credits. - I'm kidding, it's something. We see all the time, let's us knew who they are. And this time the shots tell us that the girls

that we just saw Gabby and May are Bestie F-F. What does that mean? - BFF's Bestie Forever. - Okay, but it's not Bestie's F-F. Didn't just gents and make that up.

- That's not made that right. - Okay, it's like Bestie's for the Bestie's is what Monroe says with her, Bestie. - Oh my God. - BFF.

- Or friends.

“- What do you mean between them, that's what it really should be?”

- Okay, so they're Besties forever. It is now two days earlier. We have a little bit of a flashback. They are at school, Gabby and May have finished

their senior calculus test in just nine minutes

and since they're just sophomores, this frustrates and concerns the teacher, but the girls are very confident they nailed it. Their geniuses and the other students bully them for ruining the curve.

They call them nerds, the brandy echo overachievers don't seem to care and have places to go anyway. And this is when I was like, oh, bulls. These are two gorgeous kids who just happen

we wear in glasses. - No, not only that, who have, this is one of my spareties. I think this is might gonna be something that I'm gonna be saying sprinkling my spareties throughout. Their wardrobe is so cute.

The two of them look far more put together than anyone else in the school. Everyone else's costume, including the other characters, is pretty basic and boring. These two girls have the cutest style.

And their glasses aren't even like nerdy. They're like cool glasses. Like I was like, I should get some glasses like that. I need it for new pair glasses and I was like, I like her little blue with the up little add-eye.

- Really smart, really pretty funny girls who are dressed hip are the nerds of the school that nobody likes. - I know, the wardrobe lady was so good and I'm like a certain aspect but did not pull off the lip.

I need to see more like if they're wanting to, if they're supposed to be kind of the boring, not seeing girls, I need them to be wearing neutrals. - Browns. - Exactly.

- Black, you know, just muted, muted muted colors. - Yeah, they look like they stepped right out of clueless. - They look like the cool girls. And it was like, these are the girls like, way to go nerd, I'm like, she's a 10 on any scale.

- What the hell are these talking about? - I turning around, they should have been so sassy back to him, like, okay, loser. - Yeah, I mean, this is what I was like, really. We're not, now we're not even trying to go for the,

at least in like, what not 10 things I hate about you, but she's the man or any of these kind of, it was like, at least they put Rachel Lee Cook and they tried to dress it down. She's in like, over her.

- Yes, over her. - And her hair is a mess. - They're a wig. - This time they went, we're not even a try. We're going to do that.

- If you just hit this girls, we can put classes on it, but someone's going to call them nerds. Like, while you're not even attempting to hide this anymore. - I was just, yeah, it was pretty chill.

“- At the same time, the only thing that did work later”

on is the storyline, which was actually kind of a cool swing on the nerd of the school. So I did like that. - Okay, yeah, this didn't work middle. But anyway, the Brainiac over tubers

don't seem to care because they're the coolest people in school and have places to go anyway. May is tutoring and Gabby is working on healthier choices in the cafeteria. Now in the library, May tutors the star hug QB, Jaden,

and she's obviously smitten with them. She successfully relates football to difficult math while being flirty and he mentions homecoming. She pretends she hasn't been thinking about it when he asks if she's going to the dance.

She says her and Gabby will make a last minute decision. Jaden encourages her to go

because she never knows what she'll miss.

Later at lunch, May tells Gabby, she can't believe it, but Jaden may actually like her. And yeah, he kind of made it a little obvious that he really, really, really pretty hipp girl who's very smart.

Weird. Then like a real hater, Gabby says he's only using her for her math help. But May isn't sold, they had a moment and it felt like he was going to ask her to the dance.

Gabby, on the other hand, has accepted their never going to be popular, but, okay, the really cute girl looks at the other really cute girl and goes, ah, no one's going to like us.

“But have the brains that will make them important”

later in life and boys are just a distraction. Now in the halls before their next class, popular girl Navaya, she's just having backwards, is campaigning for homecoming queen while Gabby returns the principal's laptop.

She fixed it for him just in time for his online tango lessons. And then the unthinkable happens. Jaden texted May, unprovoked, ah, he wrote with mostly misspelled words, which I didn't understand

if at the end he turns out to be a genius, okay? To meet him after practice, he has an important question

and appears furious.

“On the football field, Jaden is in the middle of drills”

when the girls arrive. He waves to May and, ah, yeah, this was probably not the best time to bring your best friend with you. Like Gabby probably shouldn't have been there, real. Yeah, we're up in third wheel style, but anyway,

and they neither of them understood that when the guy, obviously likes her, says he wants to meet her later that he liked her and wanted to meet her later. That's right. And that's when I just, I'm sorry, I know I harp on stuff

like this, but it takes me out of it. Because it's such an easy fix to dress them down and then have her progress as if she needs to change, but quote unquote, progress as to become more confident, to become wearing better clothes to it.

Instead, they starter as this cool, incredible girl

who shocked that anyone likes her. I mean, you even make it where she doesn't have any friends, except for May and Gabby or Leilin fans. They're all we have and it's like, are you, are you kidding me with these two incredibly hip,

good-looking girls? It just, it infuriates me when they don't take the extra step

“of just dresser down, but they're iron a bun.”

You know, make it to where there's such nerds that they keep destroying. Like the second they walk into class, the whole class goes, oh, God, no. They're gonna destroy the curve, like build into it.

But they don't, they just want us to assume, I mean, someone says nerd, that they're nerds, that's it. Yeah, I do think though the part of like the outfits is more so that they're like funky, they're different, 'cause they're shitting out of the whole.

Cool and hip and that stuff.

Yes, but like they're funky and like not everyone's into that.

Like everyone being very basic, like, I'm telling you right now, if that outfit was worn at the high school that I coach at, they would get weird eyes, 'cause they wouldn't be kids that are really like to blend.

They do, they don't, as much as it's standing out, there's a super pretty girl that stands out. Most of them like to blend. They don't really wear, like, it's kind of a teenage thing. So the fact that these two girls have these like kind

of quirky style, that totally works in a super cute, when you have the maturity to be able to see it that way, versus like, what are you doing wearing like so much color when like everyone else is like a jeep and dang. Such clueless vibes and they were like the cool kids

and clueless. So so cool, but nobody dresses like clueless either. Like that out of this world, super. - I mean, not right now in 2000 and like late nineties

in 2000s, for sure, so that's coming back a little bit.

- This could have been cool in 2014. - It gets still kind of too much for like the high school kids that like to blend. - It didn't, it didn't play for me, but anyway. But before anything can escalate here,

comes Navaya again and her gang of mean girls, she pretends to be surprised running into Gabby and May and quickly deflates her Jade and balloon. As the whole school has now circled around them, like you do, Navaya points out that Jade

is in a totally different social radar and she's going with him, her boyfriend for 17 whole days to the dance. Everyone seems to know this fact, but the school geniuses, we don't know that.

Then just in time, Jade runs over in a rather balzy move, Navaya makes sure he's asking her to the dance and though hesitant, he agrees. She rubs it in May's face and Jade and explains his question for her was about quadratic functions.

This is embarrassing and Gabby turned out to be right all along. But as the bullies walking away, may find the confidence to stand up for herself. She claims she already has a boyfriend anyway. He's a total hot burger and his name is Albert.

He's varsity in five sports, a genius, and works with endangered orphan animals. When Navaya asks when they can meet this Albert, may explains he lives in Alaska and everyone quickly catches on.

This dude clearly doesn't exist. Navaya laughs it off and walks away. With the school day over, classmates continue to ridicule May about her new boyfriend. She has no idea why she lied.

And then May's goofy brother Bart, who was very funny, arises new unmarked taxi to drive the home. This is my favorite line of the whole thing. So he might have glad a car like this. Really when, when he drove a taxi.

Now at home, May knows her days are cooked. Gabby wonders how to pull this off and assumes she'll just have to come clean and be taunted for all of eternity. She thought Jade was different, but Gabby says he's just

like all the rest of the boys. But she has an idea. What if they invent a better boy? An interactive virtual one. Gabby spent the summer learning how to code

and May's dad creates the coolest video game and characters in the world. So his software must be off the chain. So they're gonna hack it into his network and get data for a high-deaf boyfriend.

They know it's insane, but it's better than letting Navaya win. So they agreed to keep it a secret for May's dad and have a sleepover to work on at Sabrina.

“Is this the most far-fetched decomplot we've seen at this point?”

(laughing) At this point, but it's almost as far-fetched as the dad that. Like, what's happening?

What I needed was just a little bit more information.

Okay, so you're gonna create an online somehow for Sona. - To do what? - To do what? - To be able to respond as he's gonna be able to call her on the phone somehow do like a face timing thing. Like, I just needed more of like,

what is the plan besides you're just creating something? - Yeah, for what, I agree 100%. Like, for what purpose? - Right, you do that. - 'Cause it wasn't like, what we end up seeing, it wasn't like,

oh, he's gonna like, what is he gonna do? You're gonna create him to do what? - Right. - To do what?

“- I was the only thing, like, I kind of got stuck here going,”

okay, I'm not sure what the plan is like. - Okay, you get to, you get, you go back to something like weird science, which I know is problematic. But the two boys, the two teenage boys in the 80s, essentially created the most beautiful woman

to have sex with her. That was kind of the plot. And then the joke and the whole point was when they then had the opportunity, they couldn't, they chickened out, they couldn't do it,

they could, obviously they can't do that with this story. - Right. - However, why are you creating the fake boyfriend? Is it, so, oh, well, that's the things. We get to then flood the school's website with emails that have leaked from him

about how much he loves me or we can fake pictures of the two of us together, like, "What's the point?" - Right, and how, yes, exactly, what's the point? And because also like she goes in on while we're doing this, this like big kiss that she wants to do,

but it doesn't seem like they're actually trying to actually, weird signs, you know they were trying to create a robot. - We're not building girls, right? - This was like, you're gonna create like, an Instagram profile page.

- Right, I didn't really understand it. - You need a summer of coding to make a catfish page?

“- Yeah, that's what it was kind of like,”

not, I wasn't sure, because it didn't actually say in detail that they're gonna go to the extreme to actually try to laboratory make something. - Well, right, because they didn't know they were doing, they didn't even know they had,

they didn't, yes, it was kind of got a little muffled for me here when I went, okay, wait. And this is the part two that was starting to get long for me, because I'm like, I'm not getting any answers. I'm not quite understanding it, I think it's coming soon,

but yeah, this is a little bit of a slower part of the movie for me. - 100%. Either way, Gabby, as sure's her friend, it's not like this is a department defense issue.

And then we get a beautiful pod meat world boy meets world optical flip to the department of defense speeding to a quote unquote secret laboratory, which is the superior gaming building. The general from earlier has arrived

and quickly meets up with a doctor from the standoff, who's May's dad, the angry general wants to see what the government has been paying him for, and so we find ourselves in a complex lab with robots and smoking machines.

It's the future birthplace of X17, the first ever covert robotic operative. If May's dad gets the he go ahead from the president, he will make history, and so with that, he gets the thumbs up and the project has truly begun.

Back in May's room, Gabby is finding it difficult to hack into her dad's computer, everything is protective, but Gabby is still very optimistic about their plans. Albert will not only be 3D, but he'll be three delicious. So he'll be 3D on the computer, I guess.

- That's what I'm thinking. - Okay.

- Not 3D in person, they never make it seem like he's actually

going to be at school with her. - It's like the teacher that pops up at the end where she gets zapped, they think maybe they can interact with the guy somehow, yeah. - So it would have been nice, I've 2014 stuff,

like I don't think FaceTime and stuff like that existed. So it did in 2014, you could FaceTime in 2014? - Yes. - Really? - Yeah.

- You could FaceTime 12 years ago. - Yes. - Oh God, I know that. - FaceTime was like it's own app,

“I think it was like at least, at least on the computer”

or like on like an iPad of some sort, it wasn't necessarily for your phone, just yet I don't think. - Okay, then they should have explained that that way. What we can do is we can use them to, he can call you and people can see him and all,

but they didn't do any of that stuff. - That they didn't have that, so I was confused and then I started to go, oh gosh. - Yeah. - I don't understand what's going on, I don't know how to keep up.

- The rules, it's the rules people. - The rules, the rules, I did them so terribly bad. - Okay, I'm glad that I've infected you and you need the rules now all the time. It makes me so happy that I've ruined these for you.

- And just like that though, if you click here a few taps there and they are now into their dad's mainframe, they connect to superior gaming and load everything up for a prototype creation,

which I guess is just a coincidence because that's also what maze dad is working on for the government.

This is incredible luck, but hey,

(laughing) - It's unbelievable luck, it's happened. So as the girls dig into this makeup of Albert,

This boyfriend will be an American high schooler

with a studly athletic build. He'll be tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. And he won't even know how cutie is. He'll also be so polite, he'll almost be Canadian. Sensitive, brave, honest and intuitive.

The perfect home gaming date for the perfect home coming kiss. As they input all this day to the dream boy once a stark white AI robot, now starts to be built in real life.

And with that the face of Albert appears on Gabby's screen and he is a hunk, oh, magic.

“I just made that up, but that's what he is.”

He's a good looking chap. He says hello to me and reaches out to hold our hand through the screen as she reciprocates an actual spark flies from the laptop, throwing her to the ground and at the superior lab,

it's time for the final fabrication sequence. So dudes be in built. The girls notice that all the electronics in the house have been blown out and when Gabby goes to see what happens,

she runs into Bart. He knows they've trespassed into his dad's office and says he'll keep their little escapade secret if she goes with him to homecoming.

And this is now the second time we've noticed that

he's got quite a thing. Yes, he does. It's cute. It's cute. They are a cute couple.

She says no, it calls the answer to a front for the corsage industry, which was great. But just then, Mae's dad pulls up and Gabby must make an incision. She says yes to Bart as fast as she can

and then runs back into the office. Back at superior gaming, the build process is complete. And we get the famous shot, which I knew was coming of the hand coming out of the water. You knew that was gonna happen.

And the once plastic AI robot has turned into something that looks exactly like a real human being. The prototype sprints out of the lab and right out of the building. At the same time, Mae's dad walks into the house

and is greeted by his son Bart, who's distracting him from the office. Since his mom is out of town, he wants to chelacify and vegetize with some hot tea. While his dad's distracted by smooth jazz

and a little water fountain, and he doses off and falls asleep in his recliner.

This finally gives Bart some time

to see what's going on in the office, which does not look good. This finally gives Bart some time to see what's going on in the office, which does not look good.

Gabby explains what they've done in Bart knows it's bad news, but he'll keep his word and help fix the burnt motherboard. So the next day, when Mae's dad wakes up from whatever he put in his tea,

Bart has stayed up all night working and the girls are just leaving for school. But before the doctor can notice anything is wrong, he gets an emergency call from the military general. There's been an incident at the lab

and he has to get their ASAP. And at school, Navaya, which is Serena? - Evan backwards. Although it's even really spelt like this with an EVP. Okay, I just want to make sure that that wasn't like him,

that he was being stupid. That's why he's like going backwards. - Navaya still thinks it's a fake profile and dares them to prove her wrong and just then an orange Lamborghini pulls up

and the hottest dude ever, robot Albert in a teal other jacket has arrived. He tosses his keys and Jaden catches them like some sort of VLA, and ounces it's him. And neither Gabby or Navaya believe what they're seeing.

Okay, A, where do they get the car? (laughing) Did he just go steal a $290,000 Lamborghini? That's my question, that's one. Two, they're like, wow, that's him, shocking.

It was like, don't you think there should have been something bigger for this guy they created

“on their computer showing up at school in a Lamborghini?”

Like, to me, it was just kind of like, wow, how did this, I don't know, it just seemed like this should have been something bigger when he showed up. - Yes, yes, I mean, because again,

although there's confusion of what they were expecting this Albert to be, I certainly did not think that they were honestly thinking they were gonna get a real life form of Albert. So, that's where it would be the shock and awe

of like touching him, like your like a real, like I can tell you, what's going on right now? - Neither of the girls should have spoken at all. They should have sat there mouth the gate. He should have walked up and done on the talking.

- Yes, and then like, I know you're so surprised. - Here, I told you I was coming from Alaska, I know I told you I was coming tomorrow. Like, he should have been so perfect that he literally told me.

- Yeah, new how to handle what's going on, and then pulls her into a hug and whispers like, play along or something like that. - Yes, which he does at some point, when he talks about love and all that,

and the what is it, the one, he does do something like that.

“- But I think he could have leaned into it a little bit more.”

- And they missed a huge chance of comedy of just the two of them staring at him, mouth the gate, not being able to speak. And him like, taking over for, hey, I know I freaked out. Like, so many ways to have done it,

but this I just didn't think it was a big enough. I mean, the guy they invented on their computer,

are their school with a $300,000 automobile. And it's like, nobody is saying, and they're like, wow, it's him. So yeah, it was, and also by the way, this question, and I'm gonna get it into Sabrina's seas,

like how old are these two girls supposed to be? They said sophomore, so 15. And he's supposed to be 17, which is why they called it the X-17. - Okay.

“- I'm convinced that's why it was the X-17.”

So he's supposed to be 17, and they're supposed to be 15. That's my guess anyway, is what I thought, 'cause they said sophomores. I think sophomores are 15. So I figured, he's supposed to be a senior, quote-unquote,

and they're supposed to be sophomores. - Yeah, that didn't, that didn't play off to me. - Oh my, what did you think they were younger and he was older? - Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. - That was like, the fact that he had that car. Now, you go to like a private school. That is very well, like I'm sure in some areas, that's what, but like, I don't know if it's not a Lamborghini

and I school no way. - Not at 300,000, do you think that car was really, would've been like, well, yeah, could've been a Lamborghini, yeah. - But there are some schools are like, these kids are driving, create, it's not,

I don't think it's right, I don't know. But it's not my business, but-- - Oh, I'll make it, I'll make it very scary. - It's wrong, it's wrong. - To have someone driving that fast of a car, right?

- I'm not sure.

“- But it's also, you got to, if you've something's just”

given to you, it's not the same as earning it.

- No, but also, you always like, at least getting

a fender vendor with your first car. Like, your first like couple years-- - She was cracked. - You first car, did you get to a fender vendor? - I just did you, my first car, within like months of it.

- Did you bring it away? - Oh, it's so pretty, no. But it wasn't like I was driving fast. I was in the line and I was on a hill. We were in the line going to the busy street going to my school,

my high school. And I sneezed and my foot went off the break. And I legitimately rolled into the car and run of me sneezing accident. - Yes, it was a, like a four runner.

And it had one of those like bulb things. It was like hitch-trailer things in that. And I had a Mustang, and it went just, I mean-- - Right up, the airbag's wet. - Oh my god, your first car was a Mustang?

- Yes, we've talked about this. - It was open at the start. - I know, I know, I was so lucky. I loved that first car.

And I still had my, I still had my first car.

- I figured you'd go, God, within months, within months. - Yeah, no, I still had my car. - My kids are not getting a brand new car. - My 86 Celica still haven't. - Oh, that's pretty cool.

- Yes, so they can't believe what they're saying. Albert walks right up to May and says hi. He says his dad got transferred from Washington, D.C., and calls Navaya, friend number 82. He has a very immature mechanical quality to him

and says he's not dating May. It's more than dating. She's the one. It's like being alive for the first time. With that, the entire female student body

is enamored with him and wants to take him to the registrar's office to check in. Sabrina, I ask you this all the time. Is this the guy that would have been on your wall? - You've now met Jordan, and definitely Jordan

looks a lot more like this guy then, like, yeah. - Yeah, okay, yeah, this is, I can, I can get, even I was like, oh, dreamy. Like, I can dreamy, yeah, I can dreamy. - Yeah, yeah.

- The definitely looked older, had more of an older. - I think it was 40, yeah. - He looked like he was like, probably early 20s, like he had a different bill. He had a gorgeous smile.

His eyes were incredible.

I mean, like this kid, there was another... - It was in, it was in, it was in. - He looked like baby Jordan to me, he did. I was like, oh, I get it, girls, I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did, he did, but I, that's not who I dated in high school though, no. - Did you more dated the quarterback like Jordan? - Yeah. - Okay, I, between the two girls,

“I think the ones I dated in high school were more like none of them”

'cause I didn't date in high school 'cause no one liked him. - Uh, which is true. - With that, by the way, the entire female student body is enamored with him, they wanted to take them to the registrar's office to check in.

Now alone, man, Gabby don't know what to do because, yeah, they created someone. - Well, over at Superior Gaming Maze Dad has arrived and has no idea who broke in. The general explains this wasn't a break in,

it was an escape. Someone hacked into the servers and assembled the first ever X17. As scariest that sounds, Maze Dad is actually thrilled, it worked. He officially made an Android,

but the prototype is now at large and this is a national emergency. (upbeat music) - Next Monday, our 2022 six-eye-hard podcast awards are happening live in South by Southwest.

for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. - Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. - Lucy Leppi has been found guilty.

- But what if we didn't get the full story? - The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. - I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, we follow the evidence

and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Leppi was. - You know, voicing of any skepticism are doubt. - It'll cause so much harm at every single level

I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. - Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.

He became the first bachelor

to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. - If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. - But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines?

It began as a one-night stand, and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. - The media is here. This case has gone viral.

- The dating contract. - Agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. - We're such far. - This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. - I'm Stephanie Young, this is Love Trapped.

This season, an epic battle of he said she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. - I am done nothing to get pregnant by the f**k ranchler. - Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

- At school, of course, Albert is a hit. Students cling to him as he poetically talks about snowboarding and takes off his jacket to expose his muscles. All the girls are very impressed with how we evolved.

And boy boy, he is. Gabby is very concerned, but man is just excited to be escorted to class by her new boyfriend. And as far as the investigation, even though the general is no closer to finding the X-17,

it may be designed a little bit too well. An assistant to the general, Janks, says a woman walking her dog caught a glimpse and said he was super cute. And candy sugary in the eye holes and the honorary mayor of Hunky Town.

(laughing) - Of course. - And with that, we get a montage to some pop rap.

He saves a frog from dissection. Holds him, by the way. - Okay, did you dissect frogs? - Of course, that was a section. - But did you dissect frogs and iceballs?

- I did, I did. - Did you give you a lie for a dog that you had to kill? - No, of course. - No, they were dead frogs with that smelt of whatever stuff.

- But that amount.

“- Or maldehyde that you have to keep in.”

They were so gross. I felt like I stunk for days after it. So this even seemed this and like. - I loved it. - Oh my god.

- But the idea that they were in this school, they had you a live frog, and you first have to kill it.

- Oh, this is my street that you have never been so ridiculous.

- Oh. - There are the frogs or dead people that have they had you a live frog and make you murder it. - Even still, you know I'm not into reptiles. Not even a little bit, right?

Not even a little bit. - Not even a little bit. - Not even a little bit. - Oh, shut up. - No, this thing.

(laughing) - No, but then he goes in like, let's go. And then gets up and grabs her hand. And now I don't care what this guy looks like. If he is the dream machine,

I am not touching his hand after he was just hanging out, holding a frog, no, nope. Get your hand away from me, go wash your hands. - No, thank you, Sarah. - You're probably not going to watch a whole lot

of boys' hands then. - Oh, God, no. - Anyway, they first, he stopped them

from murdering the frog in class, which never happens.

He then holds, he then holds May's hand with his nasty frog hand, which is really like that lunch. A dramatic picnic on the football field of the violinist, he paints a beautiful portrait of her in art class and reads pride and prejudice in seconds.

And then in the library, Gabby, she now has it all figured out. She thinks Albert is a viral marketing campaign from superior gaming. He's just an actor made up to look like she made online, which again, not the worst theory, but he stands strong.

He's Albert from Alaska and he will do anything to make May happy. But Gabby thinks he's too perfect. And when he leaves May, he will be crushed and she will be left to pick up the pieces.

He swears he's not an actor and he won't leave until his mission is complete. They will have the perfect kiss at home coming during the moonlight dance. And that's when Bart calls. He tells Gabby the computer is wrecked

and he's seen this perfect new boy at school on May's photo feed. He's freaked out and says it will tear the fabric of space and time. He needs to fix the computer to figure it this all out and Gabby helps him with some ideas of how to make that happen.

On the football field, however, Albert is breaking all of Jaden's push-up records. The coaches very impressed with his perfect 200 yard spiral and immediately recruits him to the football team. Gabby and May notice from afar, of course.

And though May is impressed, Gabby calls the whole thing impossible. Albert notices May and runs off the field this year and while Nevea, which is heaven backwards. It would just be like--

Now it's spelled right. It's becoming suspicious and Jaden is getting jealous. At the end of the school day, May runs off to Albert's orange sports car, but is intercepted by Jaden wondering if they have tutoring today.

But she spaced. She promised Albert she'd show him around. As the new couple speeds off, we also notice that his personalized license plate is Mayowsers, which A is too many letters and also what the-- [LAUGHTER]

Standard it. Why is it really good? Why is it really good? Do they have every one of us? Yes, I know.

“Is that like a cool, like, Mayowser, like you so cute?”

But why would he put that on his own license plate? Did he get his own license plate? I was still confused. What if my guess is there some very correct cat lady somewhere who was robbed and possibly we're going on another side

by our story? Oh my god, I can't take it. No, we got to keep it. I don't understand what's happening. So meowsers, because he's cat-licious.

I don't know. Because he's cat-licious. I don't know. Now in the park, Albert and May walk around a fountain with Gabby Trelling, very close behind,

sneezing from pollen, and she's there. She wasn't in the car, but she's there. It's a two-seater. Albert has an important question.

So may finally ask for a moment alone.

Thank you, Gabby. Maybe step back a bit. Now without Gabby, he asked me a homecoming. But surprisingly, she says no. He can ask anyone at school and no one really sees her

like this. So why would anyone? Because she's insanely cute, smart, and funny. So no one looks at her, so sure. May runs over to Gabby, who's still sneezing,

and concern this is all going too fast. Gabby quickly gets hit with an epipen. OK, because she just seemed to be sneezing a lot. The girls are supposed to be a team. They're supposed to study, graduate early, go to Harvard,

become millionaires with Nobel Prizes, and then get elected president and vice president. This boy is going to change everything.

“But may calls Albert the best thing that's ever happened to her.”

And then he starts playing the ukulele and singing her a love song. Fine, get it. He's supposed to be perfect. He has perfect pitch, like a hot Jason Miraz,

And then, may joins in on the song.

“And knows all the words, and they're perfectly singing together.”

And this is where I got up and walked away for a little while. I was like, please don't turn into a musical. Please don't turn into a musical. The crowd has gathered for the duet, apparently.

And she finally says yes to the proposal.

What did you think about? I get him breaking the song. He's supposed to be the perfect girlfriend. It's supposed to be like the promask. Totally understand, picks up ukulele.

He's a great singer. I get that sold, not a problem. Yes, she joins him, and now it's a duet. The song was very, like it wasn't actual. I'm trying to look at my notes right here,

because it was a song that I didn't even know. No, no, no, no, no, no. I love you, like, a love song made. So I know that song. It wasn't like she couldn't have joined in, like, for your own mask.

You're going to join in for him and it would have been better to have some of the other patrons that are there, too, in the card and do like a kind of flash mobs flash mobs. Yes, something like that would have been a bit a little bit more something easier to grasp.

“Yeah, because that was that was not good.”

Maze phone rings, and it's part again, who has grown very paranoid. He fixed the computer, but now he knows too much. He tells her to get to their house ASAP. And over its period of games, Jinks reports the situation is escalated.

Black Sigma, a very dangerous international arms dealer is after X-17, and that's when the doctor figures it out. There is another copy of the software at his house. And then we see 40 minutes into the movie or 35 minutes in the movie. 50, we're 50.

I made a note of it. OK. Now there's a new kind of sub twist where we see Black Sigma hiding a cleaning van outside of the computer games. They've been planning on stealing the X-17 for months,

but someone has beat them to it. So they're forced to find him on the outside.

Gabby finally makes it to Bart, who's in full panic mode.

He realizes his dad is in a video game designer. He's actually working with the Pentagon. Gabby also figures out the truth about Albert. He's a highly mobile robot soldier. And she set him up with her best friend.

This is terrible. But things get even worse when Black Sigma arrives, kicking in the office door. It was very fast.

“They're quite the force apparently worth it.”

They waited for this many months to steal the robot, then we're able to get to the house into-- [LAUGHTER] Sorry, I was me thinking, apologies. The thugs jump at the computer and learn all about Albert

and his mission titled Homecoming. Now with the info they need, they steal the files and destroy the motherboard. Again, just before the military humvies arrived and walking to the pulverized results.

The doctor's scared as kids were home during the attack.

But instead, he finds his son and Gabby just studying in the living room.

They explained, and I like how they both had headphones on. So it's like, well, we didn't hear anything. At least that made sense. It's like, let's figure out a way to make it seem like we didn't know what was going on.

They explained that May is out with a totally real boy and swear they didn't notice any break-in. Bart's dad continues to pretend he's just a normal video game designer while Bart lays it on thick about how much he hates lying,

which this was my favorite part of the favorite scene. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, kind of yelling at his dad about-- He's no one likes layers. It's stuff like it was very funny.

Also, hilariously, the black Sigma cleaning van is still parked outside May's house. Something that should be easily detected by the US military, but is completely missed. As a result, the bad guy spot Gabby and Bart

leaving the taxi and decided to follow them to the high school pre-party pep rally. Ooh, say that three times fast. School's pre-party pep rally. Pre-party pep rally.

Pre-party pep rally. Or Albert and May just arrived, give me one, see if you can do it. Pre-party pep rally. Nice. We're good.

We should do this for a living. We're good. Now, the girls at school want Gabby to find them perfect boyfriends, too. Again, taking straight from weird science,

where Robert Downey Jr. and his friend want them to have a girl built for them as well. But there are much bigger fish to fry. Albert is spotted, Black Sigma, and knows their after him. He sneaks behind one of the henchmen

takes the bottle out of his hand, smashes it, and uses the broken glass to slit his throat. Terminator, two-style. I'm kidding. Is everyone still with me?

I'm joking. Oh, wait. He finds terminator style and punches them through the wall. And while her boyfriend is off dueling, Gabby confronts May about Albert being a military super soldier

without actually telling her what she needs to know. If you watch the scene again, she's like, make saying all these things that aren't actually saying, we built him on the computer. He's a fake robot.

Like, that's all you need to say. Yeah. Doesn't actually, she kind of-- Your dad is not a, like, this, like, say it faster. Come on, Gabby.

You're a friend here. It's supposed to be a genius. Exactly, but May isn't here in it. She's in love and believes Albert feels the same way about her. But Gabby explains it's impossible for a robot to feel love.

She says it's impossible for him to feel love,

forcing the best friends into an argument. Gabby begs May to trust her and end things with Albert by just looking him in his eyes and saying, initiate self-destruct, but it ain't gonna happen. She's head over heels.

So May walks away with their friendship hanging in the balance. Now, it's not a big football game. 'Cause all of a sudden, there's a football game. No one's talked about it except for we've seen one practice. Yeah, we know about homecoming,

but they don't talk about the homecoming game. The game, right? And that's not, then I'm like, literally, this went. It pulled me out of my, oh my gosh, we care about a game. I had no idea.

There was something, there's nothing really on the line except for winning the homecoming game either. And it doesn't really matter

because they talk about the fact that they've never,

they haven't really beat this team.

“So it's not like, this is an important game for the season.”

They make it seem like it's just nothing. Right. And the only time you even get what kind of team this is is from that very quick clip with the coach that the coach doesn't even seem like he really knows how to coach

and the kids don't seem like they know what they're really doing either. No, like, yeah, no. It happened so fast and you're going, it was weird. Yeah, yeah, but anyway, the cheerleaders are in full cheermode led by Nevea,

and backwards for heaven, who is still a polyticking for homecoming queen. The home team Eagles are currently down by 25 points when the Black Sigma guys arrive. Remember them?

To find their one-to-feed a teammate who reveals that X-17 can sense their presence. They know they'll need an electoral pulse device to shut down X-17 himself, and that's when they'll grab them. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Hi, this is Joe Wintersteen, host of the spare daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver. The Irish traveler said, when I was 16,

you're going to have a terrible time with men. After storyteller and unapologetic aquarium visionary, Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives, and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood.

A son and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house,

“spark her unconventional approach to partnership.”

He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms on different houses in different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart-side view into how a leading artist

integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen. Listen to the spare daughter podcast, starting on February 24th, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Hillary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-plattener artists. Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics,

motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years.

We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry, and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture,

and that's not reality, a lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak, is definitely a very painful part of my life, and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on purpose, with Jay Shetty,

on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies

is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. Lucy Leppi has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the full story?

A moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast "Doubt", the case of Lucy Leppi, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened, when the world decided

who Lucy Leppi was. No voicing of any skepticism are doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to doubt the case of Lucy Leppi on the iHeart Radio app,

I'm Clayton Nackard, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

“Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.”

He became the first bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected.

The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show? Made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand, and ended in a courtroom,

with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. A great a date me, but I'm also suing you. We're such one.

This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of He said She said, "And the search for accountability in a sea of lies." "I am done nothing to get pregnant by the **** Brassler!"

Listen to Love Trapped on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. At the game, Gabby and May have fully split up, sitting nowhere near each other. Meanwhile, one of the players is injured.

They need a second string running back, and that's when the coach spots Alaska in the stands and tells him to suit up like you do.

Guys, never taken a snap,

never been in practice, never knows what's going on, but hey, he can throw out. Just looks big and bulky. Like, I also threw the ball once. So, of course, we're going to make him a running back.

What? Albert takes off his shirt in the stands like you do. By the way, if I look like the suit, I'd never wear a shirt, and the girls love what they see. One classmate even faints.

“Again, this was remember how I felt about this in cowbells.”

I felt the same way. Like when you would never get a girl to like drop down into a bikini in the guy sit there and like just got her, right? Like, never, never, never. But why is that okay with him?

He takes off his shirt, and the girls are literally this close to him. Like, yeah, just staring at his mandibles. And it's like cheese. Yeah, exactly. All right, Gabby knows this is a problem.

I'm rushes into the huddle to try to stop Albert. May joins in too, eventually followed by Niava, Niva. Many of that. Bye, bye, Evan. And I'm just going to keep saying heaven.

And then if we could just reverse the audio, that'd be great. But just wants this homecoming game to go off without a hitch, so she can be the queen. The referee calls a delay of game, and the girls return to the sideline as the audience throws empty cups at them.

And then another montage, you know, I love a montage.

“Albert is a superhuman football player, scoring touchdown,”

to touchdown, like some sort of mechanical NFL cyborg. The crowd loves it, but back at May's house, the military employees are trying to figure out who broke in. But the local police are very preoccupied with the score of the local high school game. They can't believe the Eagles are coming back.

They check their phones for video and spot the new student, a beautified beast. And that's when the doctor figures it out. This new football star is the X-17 in full assault mode. And he also notices this robot is dating his daughter, uh-oh. Back at the game, there are five seconds left, and Eagles have the ball down by just five.

They could win this thing. Jaden and Albert are ready to take the field when the coach has an idea. Just give them all the Albert. If they had tries to still get the crowd to chant for Jaden, but everyone knows this is Albert's night.

As the team leaves their huddle, Black Sigma is also prepared for the next move with the blocker. Jaden yells Hike and Albert, absolutely crushes any defender in his path while in his way to a touchdown. He then in some very bad CGI carries four opposing players along with him across the end zone. scoring at the Eagles that bad.

It was bad. The Eagles that bad. It was bad. And winning the game. But just as he celebrates Sigma, initiates their machine, and short circuits the star player,

exploding the stadium lights. The Humveeie speed in, as high school students run off in every direction, and we recognize this from the beginning of the movie. While fleeing, Gabby explains to me who her dad really is, and that Albert is a deadly weapon. Hey, maybe tell me that before the game.

Everyone is, after him, it's all their fault. Unfortunately, Naveya, who was once again within earshot, heard the conversation these girls need to learn how to whisper.

And at the same time, Black Sigma are finally surrounded by the military and handcuff.

They're caught. Leave me to wonder, why are they in this movie? What? What did they do in this movie? Who?

Oh, that's the second one. Yes, the second one is handcuffed. Why are they here? What was the point of this entire storyline? All they did was make him glitch, but they didn't even need to make him glitch,

because the military came in right as that happened anyway. If you cut out this entire storyline, the movie would not have changed at all. Right. If they literally did nothing.

Yeah. So it's like, what the hell were they fair for? I mean, for 20 minutes, and then arrested. They like what up the ante on the fact that the military had lost this thing,

yeah, I mean, I don't think the only thing that would have made sense a little bit is it like maybe the brother and Gabby got kidnapped from them. They came in with obvious that they also now have taken his children and another friend, like something like that, but yeah, no, they didn't do it. Because they didn't cause much chaos except for ruining the motherboard at that house.

They showed they, they, they used the scene to show how good a fighter he was. Yes, um, and then to short circuit him, which didn't even short circuit him. So, yeah, none of it made any sense whatsoever. Literally completely and totally pointless storyline in this film. Great, and now Gabby and May are hiding, taking their spots in the first few minutes of

how to build a better boy. The general in May is data arrived to demand they forfeit and so the girls give themselves up. We saw this at the beginning. Now in custody, they're taking a superior games and lectured about their incredibly careless actions, but the general knows their intentions were romantic.

They're not in need of a high tech war machine and so they were free to go. The X-17 is no longer their concern since he's been rebooted. His mission is back on track. Now, this is the same day and yet in that day, he's helping freedom fighters. He's building the schools and leading a team of mine sniffing dolphins all in one day.

He's the property of the US Army now and an exchange for her freedom may

is never to speak about any of this to anyone.

She was now abandoned her love and return to her regular lonely desperate nerdy life where she's an awful human being like the dirt under everybody's shoe. You can tell just by looking at this gorgeous girl. All's fair and love and war. Two things, Jank's admit, she's never seen action in.

Gabby thinks it's all over, but May isn't convinced.

“She knows Albert will come to his senses and remember her.”

She's going to homecoming in case he shows up. He's more than microchips and wires. He's magic. Okay, Gabby says there's an equation for everything and no such thing is magic and May doesn't care. And so now it's homecoming day and Albert is still missing.

May is driven to the Paris theme dance by her dad. Now at first, I thought it was odd that it was daytime outside, which seems like wrong for the school dance and then I was like, well, wait, maybe it's closer to the summer and then I'm like, wait, it's homecoming, which is usually done right around a holiday. So it should have been dark.

Yeah, yeah. It definitely should have. Yeah, because I think homecoming is like right around Thanksgiving. Although, yeah, it's in October, usually. Don't remember, right?

Yeah, so yeah, but they did set it like they, they do meet outside. Like they did, because I was thinking the same thing. Like this doesn't make sense time wise during the day. But they did, you could see kids in the background like getting their early to take pictures. Like that, which is a common thing to do.

You go somewhere a park or a person's house to take pictures.

“Like that seemed like that's what they were doing before they entered the dance.”

Saving a robot, they built on our computer so I'm going to let it slide that it should have been. I think out of all the details that are a little far back, this might be the one that's the one that's still not. That agree. The easiest. A great thing is clearly disappointed to be there alone, but her dad swears a girl as brilliant and

beautiful as she is, will still have a special night with her without X-17. And so she takes her spot on the steps waiting for her date, watching his neveya and Jaden pull up. And just as she's about to quit, a limo arrives and outsteps, Albert. He made it after all, May's dad kept believe what he's seeing. Albert apologizes for being late.

The couple walk into the dance, but unfortunately, the humvies are also ready to party. The general news mission would lead him to homecoming, but couldn't let me know or she would have warned Albert. And now they're ready to take out the X-17. May's dad steps in, they can't do this.

If the military attacks Albert, he'll fight back with full force. This will be World War with his daughter right in the middle of the action. He promises if they let Albert finish his mission, he will retreat peacefully. So let the robot kiss his daughter. If they ruin it, yep, I'm going to say it again.

So let the robot kiss his daughter.

If they ruin May's night, the doctor will quit and never deliver a robot to the US ever.

Again, even the X-36, which sounds just like a guy doesn't want to get off his couch.

“I remember me as the X-36, I'm like, I'm not going to save the world.”

The general says the army will make sure the kiss happens and instructs the battalion to follow Operation Pucker Up. Inside the dance, the bay is already furious at all the attention. May and Albert are getting. Jaden tries to stand up for May, but Neveia is dead set on ruining the night for her rival. Gabby is also very mad at Albert.

He had to show up, didn't he? But Albert tells her you can't know everything that's going to happen. Meanwhile, all of Neveia's popular mean girl pals have switched sides. They're now minions of May calling themselves May flowers. And worrying polka dot dresses just like hers.

May is as popular as she always dreamt of, but nothing feels right. Operation Pucker Up is in full swing, which Janks pretending to be a student. Neveia is ready to accept her homecoming crown and expose Albert. But Jaden has seen enough of her evil ways and dumps her right there on the spot. Good for you, Jaden.

Finally, then when the principal takes the mic to announce that he's giving out free ballroom

The winner is May Hartley.

Neveia is devastated. Bart is shocked and may his dad is emotional, but then he learns the army. He actually stuff the ballot box. As May accepts Neveia rushes to stage, she calls the results unacceptable and reveals Albert is a machine. For a few seconds, everyone is confused until Jaden steps up like a good bro and praises

Albert's work on the football field. "Yeah, dude, you're a machine!" And the crowd loves it. Neveia tries to clarify herself by calling him dangerous, but everyone just returns to dancing. Of course not everyone is happy.

Jaden knows he messed up with May.

“She's special, and that's why Albert asked her to the dance.”

He tells Gabby that he wanted to ask me to the dance, but didn't have the guts. And then Gabby realizes she was wrong about Jaden. He did like May the whole time. On stage, May sees herself in the crowd and knows her dream and the moonlight dance is closer than ever,

although she never ever once dreamed of being the homecoming queen.

Never mentioned the entire movie. Didn't care about that even slightly. But instead of running to Albert, she retreats to the corner of a gym. Gabby may reunite because something is clearly bothering the newly crowned queen. Gabby apologizes for all of her actions.

I didn't understand why Gabby was apologizing. Okay, I get that she says she held her back and she shouldn't have said that that Jaden didn't like her and boys got in the way, but also the second this dude entered her life may ditch her friends and wouldn't listen to her and he's a killer and it's like, "I'm going with him. I never knew you."

“She was clearly jealous and holding back her best friend.”

She never should have said Jaden was out of her league, true. They were an unstoppable team, but May is also great on her own. Also true, maybe a school dance or a boyfriend isn't Gabby's thing, but if that makes May happy, then that's what she wants for her. They hugged just as the moonlight dance starts and made it an apologize back at all.

A slow jam begins and may makes her way into the romantic gym, all orchestrated by the US military, Queen May and Albert make their way to the dance floor and embrace. She buries her head into his chest and even the general and janks are mesmerized by the love. So much so that janks is distracted and starts to emit too much wind from the fans. This forces Gabby to realize the army is at the dance and ready to grab Albert.

Instead of jumping in to save the day though, Gabby decides to let May take care of herself. You're still laughing about her job, aren't you? Okay. I knew you were. I can tell by the red.

May scans the gym and just as she's about to kiss Albert, she pulls away, she can't. The army doesn't know what to do. May says the whole thing just feels off. She invented him because a boy didn't like her and she wasn't brave enough to know that if a boy doesn't like her for being herself, then it's not her fault.

She wants her first kiss to be real.

Albert calls her incredible noting that she's doing something he can never do, change.

He points out the soldiers and she realizes he knew they were coming along and he came to dance anyway. His mission was to make sure it was her best night ever and now his mission is complete. Then on command, she looks into his eyes and says, "Initiates self-destruct." He says goodbye and becomes an electrical ball, a storm hits inside the gym, and the VA continues to blame the government, which technically is not conspiracy theory because it's true.

The students run off in all directions as Albert bursts through the ceiling and speeds off into space. Now, in total silence, the students are confused. Bart jumps in asking for a round of applause for the school principal and his awesome special effects. Everyone goes with it and returns to dancing, which doesn't make any sense at all. Jaden then tells May that the line of smoke, Albert left behind is a perfect logarithmic curve,

exposing that he's actually pretty good at math, so then he faked spelling things wrong.

“Just because he's good at math doesn't mean he's a good spell, all right?”

He knows what a perfect logarithmic curve is, but he can't spell what was it like here or something? They're like basic words. They were with a cue. He was just pretending to need help because he liked his tutor. He asked her to dance and she surprised and he says, "Go for yourself."

Actually she says, "Maybe later." When Gabby arrives, May lets her know, "No boy is more important than their friendship." And then Gabby breaks some real news. What if her new boyfriend is related to her best friend? We see Bart having the time his life and Gabby admits that even though boys are a distraction, they're a pretty good one. The girls go back to dancing and admitting you can meet a boy and change the world at the same time and then we get our end credits with some improv

lives from Bart, also known as actor Matt Shively, who is very funny dancing alongside Gabby. And that's our movie.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said she said and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeart Radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Sabrina, let's do some real reviews. All right. Oh my gosh. You got the final start. I've got a five star from Rosanna. But I've got your five star says I like to watch tech geniuses

unwiddedly using military software to program a robotic boyfriend. That is very specific. Yes. Very specific. Do you see that after? I know apparently not. All right. I have the one star review and it's from Silent Guardian. What? I whispered it because that's being silent. Yes. I guarantee if the title was how to build a better girl there would be an outrage. As a guy, I find the very title and concept of this movie offensive. There are a lot of guys who try our best

to make the women in our life happy, who actually care. A movie basically outlining an ideology of how men quote should, unquote, be able to make them quote better, unquote, could really hurt the self-esteem of young men who are trying their best. Wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody one star. Okay. Wow. There's a lot. There's a lot going on there that Silent Guardian meets it and might need to work out. I don't disagree with the fact that if the Disney

would never make how to make a better girl. No, not not nowadays. But hey, they made those in the 80s.

Here's our feature program of the game, our feature of the week. That's Sabrina's favorite part.

Who are we playing with today, by the way? You got my Kayla. Oh, right. Yeah, we're going to lose. Take me to your leader is what it's called to celebrate the presence of Prince Albert, because I got to say it again. A robot disguises a hot human schooler. We thought we could reference some other famous human bots from pop culture that were also penis piercings.

“I'm kidding. That will list as an, so we're going to list an actor and a movie and you have to”

guess from a multiple choice list. What's the robots name? Okay. We already know Marshal Williams from how to build a better boy was in the next 17 or Albert. So three out of five wins. So here we go. Number one. Haley Joe Osmond in AI. A Ricky. Oh, I should probably say what they are. Is an A Ricky B. Steven C. David or D. Timmy? I don't know any of these, do you? How am I going to be Steven? A Ricky. It is C. David. Number two, Alicia Vickender or Vikander or

Vikander in X Machina. Never seen that either. Is it A of a B Susan C. Kittra or D. Rochelle?

I'm going to go A Ava. I'm going to do Ava. Correct. Yeah, we got one. Oh, one. I'm going to know. Number three. Sean Young and Blade Runner. Finally. Is it A Dina B Rachel C.

“Sonya or D Erica? Uh, D Erica. Uh, it's B Rachel. I think. Oh. Yes, you're correct. All right. B Rachel.”

Number four. You will Brenner in Westworld. Is it A the cowboy? B the Gunslinger. See the sheriff or D Derek? I don't know this one either. I'm going to go with D Derek. I'm going to say C the sheriff. Four is B. Oh, the Gunslinger. Okay. I need this last one to win. I'm very right. Don. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Five. Oh, and I know it. This is weirdly one of my favorite movies. People hate it. And for some reason I liked it. Number five, Robin Williams and Bysentennial Man is an A. Phil Grant.

B Dan Garrett, C Jeff Hamilton or D Andrew Martin. B Dan Garrett. It was D Andrew Martin. Damn, I said. Will is correct. It's D. I actually want to know that's possible. Oh, I can't do a Sabrina sees. We can now. I've given quite a bit again. The age.

“The age of this movie. I think because of what and maybe just because it I feel like and I”

thought about it. We've said it a little bit around the other ones too. I think because it becomes with like the robot aspect. You really, it gets far fetched kind of fast. So you kind of have to be able to like let go, let go of a lot of like, whoa, that's that's incorrect. That's like just not not normal or whatever. So I kept going like, what's the age demo of this movie? I'm trying to think of who they're targeting. So that kind of was something that just it's through out many times

of my Sabrina sees as I'm watching. I also, something about and now and when you mentioned the location of this, it was in Toronto and it was at like a college of some sort. Every aspect of that we saw within the school didn't, that was another thing. It didn't look like a high school to me. It looked like a college. Like even so much as like the the hallways of it looked like okay and then you jump out to like the track. The track had 3D little steps onto it like there where they

played where the scene happens with her and Navaya calling out and Albert is the first time we're

talking about this made-up person. That didn't look like a high school track to me at all. It looked like a very much like a college. Like USC's college track kind of looks like that. Then when we go to the football game, the end zone was like in the middle. Yeah, we know why. I'm assuming because it wasn't out like a like a real high school. No, because that's Canadian football. They shot this in Canada and the actual field goal is at a different spot in a Canadian

football field. If you're making up all of this on this spot, I'm gonna be so angry. Watch way, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Currently, field goal posts on a Canadian football league or Canadian football are on the goal line at the front

We're to God. It's it's it's different with with Canadian football. They they obviously shot it on a

“Canadian football field. Okay, thank you. Okay, well then that answers that question because I'm kind of like”

this school just doesn't add up to being like a high school for me, which again was like already in the the things of like the both of the girls to me seemed aged down pretty like they're not not I guess aged up them because the at the actress themselves played a little bit or seemed a lot younger than what they were supposed to be playing, especially again it came up again when she just jumps into this like car didn't have to call her dad didn't have to seem like she had

permission but like after school just like gets in this kid like Lamborghini and like drives up all that stuff just didn't like you'd have to be like in like your senior year I would think you know like for that to all be kind of normal anyway moving on. Let me see I have quite a bit of them that I'm

“going to move past the ukulele part was just so fun to me. I know you can't I was like dragging”

up like oh my god even this ukulele I don't love ukulele for some reason I wish you would have picked up a regular size guitar. Yeah and a new thing or just saying yes just yeah just singing yes yes yes okay um another thing you didn't even mention how weird and random was it when the girls joined the boys in the hotel on the football field. I know they were trying it was a comedy thing I know they were going for it just yeah didn't really work okay the next thing there was a couple

of funny like quotes that happened it was all spare and love and war and then I wouldn't know sir I've

never seen action in either. Poor thing and she was another beautiful boy. Yeah she was a gorgeous woman

your character was was a funny little edition like she just brought in like and then her like love so I loved this character I forget what her name was um janks janks was a funny character to me they gave her just enough to be like you know like just kind of you know then her having like this like random little chemistry moment with the principal at the end I liked her a lot with that and then of max with the girl was also another offsetting like little and it was the general

that says it yeah max with the girl he's gonna oh you're gonna get the right backing on her not being on the girl was from the general saying that the whole idea we went through kind of funny but the dad yeah because it just it's weird where the army was trying to get this robot to make out with this girl so much that I said at some point during the movie and and you know it's not a big harp that we need to make on it but at some point if you stop and

think this army has a whole bunch of cameras set up we didn't know it's just kiss and it was just seeming kind of crazy and then this was my favorite one this is the last one I don't give two shakes of an blind dog's day when I was laughing out loud this is towards the end of the movie because I don't give two shakes of a blind donkey's tail what me wants yeah good line I thought that was a two shakes of a blind donkey's tail I thought that was a good one I liked it and that's it

all right well now we come to the portion of our program we're gonna rate the film we just saw

one to ten one to ten and I believe you're first this time am I well let's make ten the biggest

okay and here are options this week one and a ten third wheel gabbies hot burgers one and a ten off the chain software polite Canadians chalaxified and vegetized hot tea hunky towns one and a ten meousers mind sniffing dolphins or one and a ten daytime school dances I think I picked don't I this week yes okay you get to pick and you get to go first okay I'm gonna do one and a ten

“meousers because I still don't understand what that was so that's what we're gonna do okay”

I get what they were going for this movie I let's like I said the the two girls who start in it great the wardrobe made no sense the fact that they were too really intelligent gorgeous girls who were still nerds and nobody got nobody looked at no sense whatsoever this is like almost the most extreme version of like these girls really have no friends and nobody wants to talk to them are you

I can't just throw on a pair of glasses and and Clark Kent everybody all the time I'm sorry I just can't

“do it dress them down dress them weird make them goff do something that's so different and out there”

that it's crazy pants and this didn't do it for me um it also needed to rewrite the whole thing about like the the black the villains yeah lens coming one of the black sabre or whatever they were called literally pointless of the entire movie um looked great uh the again acting was good it parts of it were funny match Ivy was very funny um I thought the dad was very funny some of the the janks was very funny I love the military guy like that yes that I'd no problem with that

there's a good character's are good needed a big rewrite um because of that I am going with and I think this is fair I really do I am going with 6.5 meowsers for this movie okay so for me again

we talked about um I've already mentioned like my first thoughts were just like it got grabbed my

attention right from the start again we had not seen something like this and then it just like quickly mellowed out and started to drag in the front end of it once I I had to kind of stop

“and go okay and I remember this with pixel perfect and I remember like when it starts to get a”

little bit more techy you kind of have to let yourself lean in a little bit more once I got in a better mind frame and that but that wasn't until almost 20 minutes in that I finally let things go and I kind of let it happen I saw that the girls I got over the I loved their wardrobe I thought they were so cute I was like enamored with their wardrobe for sure and then the button of the girls picking up and wanting to emulate their wardrobe made all of that later on okay for

me like I kind of was like okay so I see it like they were just kind of quirky and different and you know more brainy acts or whatever I kind of eventually let that go then I lost it a little but at the end when no one cared that this like unbelievably you adds after this you know the whole school has just thought this guy was just the epic unbelievable gods and boy who is good looking who drives the car who now saves the day at the homecoming game like all the now he's prints like

and then he just like burst out of the ceiling and they just are like oh thank you Ryan Civil for like the like that's when I went oh yeah so that like it bumped it up a lot and then it kind of fizzled down it kind of settled on a seven like a solid seven meowsers for me I think for this movie in particular it did demo down in the target age range a little bit more than a lot of the

movies that we watch it kind of it kind of slumped down into a younger one which isn't always the

ones that are and that be my favorite I agree well there you go you go thank you to everybody for joining us for this meowser tastic film our next movie is one that I don't think either of us were familiar with but I frankly can't remember at the time it was a little while ago but we are very excited the next film we're doing is the 1998 classic principle today it is available on the YouTube so go check that out before you listen to our amazing recap and it was it was probably the best recap we've ever

recap but yes we're very excited so please go and check that out but first we are going to stay

I actually had an opportunity when I was still on True Jackson to audition for lemonade mouth when I was still on Nickelodeon and it was such a like I was like oh man
