Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior

Guarantee human.

I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast.

This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster.

Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the "I Heart 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 "I Heart Radio" app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. In 2018, the FBI took down a ring of spies working for China's Ministry of State Security, one of the most mysterious intelligence agencies in the world. The sixth bureau podcast is a story of the inner workings of the MSS,

and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets. Listen to the sixth bureau on the "I Heart Radio" app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckard, in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

“But here's the thing, Bachelor fans hated him.”

"If I could press a button and rewind it all I would." That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. This case has gone viral. "The dating contract."

"A great a date, me, but I'm also suing you." This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young, listen to "Love Trap" on the "I Heart Radio" app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sabrina, did you ever study any martial arts?

I mean, study on a professional level, or like- No, we studied for a professional. Did you ever go to karate classes or any of that kind of stuff? No, I did. I didn't know any of that, like that's-

Well then why was you always saying which one?

Wait, do you mean like on a professional scale or more- Oh no, I've never done that. No, like in my own home feeling like I did my own professional training. Oh, that's the thing. No. Wow.

I'm telling you right now, hands down, like everything about like karate kid, ninja's specifically was my wheelhouse of like dying to be. Yeah, me too. My dad's nickname for me, my whole life has been ninja, because all I did was watch ninja movies and- I mean, my dad's name's after the three ninja characters.

Rocky and Emily, like this was my world, and I- One of Riders Strong's best friends was one of the three ninjas. Go on. Oh my gosh, you know, and it was very hard when we were at Disneyland not talk about that. Can we talk about your friend being a ninja? Yeah, like, is he still doing ninja stuff?

“Did you watch old school ninja movies like real like Shoka Sugi like Revenge of the Ninja return of the Ninja kind of ninja movies?”

No, I lived in the Disney world from- Do you know this? Like, no, it was starting to watch the real stuff. Like, or like, it's kid friendly stuff. You got to get into the real gut slashing ninja star through the eye throwing kind of ninja movies. Yeah, that's not the fun of the ninjas.

That is, first of all, ninjas aren't fun, they're awesome, and they're trained at tasks.

It's like, like, you know, like power Rangers. Like that was like my like home, I mean, I did- I mean, it's just super heroes, they weren't ninjas. Well, they were like ninjas. No, I know, no, no, no, no, wow.

Yes, they were. No, power Rangers were endowed with magical powers, essentially like super powers to become a clan. Not even a clan to become a team of super heroes that happen to do martial arts. Ninjas were happy to train martial arts. Secret assassins is what ninjas are.

It's like, look, I'm telling you right now, you're not going to burst my bubble of how I feel about ninjas.

“I don't think so, I just think that it's like you're looking- you know what it's the equivalent of?”

You're looking at it and be me looking at a dance team and going, oh, they're a cheerleading squad. And you'd be like, no, no, no, no, those are two very different things. That's the difference in looking at the power Rangers and saying they're ninjas. You're looking at a dance squad and calling them cheerleaders.

Am I wrong now? If I came into your dance team and I was like, they're a cheer squad. You would be like, that's not what they are. Our Rangers are not ninjas, my friend.

Well, I'm going to- for you here's what you're going to start with.

The- you're going to start with the old school revenge of the ninja was showcased.

“Yeah, that's what you're going to start.”

I don't want to see that. It's like, that's in grazy cool. Then you don't like ninjas, my friend. Okay, fine. But I do.

Okay, we're going to make sure you watch the real stuff. Okay, well, and if everybody else, welcome back to magical rewind. There's show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs, and your popcorn, and go back to a time when all the houses are smart. The wave tsunamis and apparently the power Rangers were ninjas.

Yes, they weren't. I will for no. I'm so great of Ryan. Ready to fight. Here we come.

Well, dig into your ancestry and search for traces of a yin warrior, because we're attacking the 2006 high school martial arts decom, Wendy Wu homecoming warrior.

It premiered on June 16th, 2006, and scored an impressive 5.7 million viewers that night.

Ready for this? Making it the fifth highest rated decom of all time. I bet you didn't see that coming. I didn't, I'm going to be honest. I'm going to just jump ahead.

I didn't, I hadn't even heard of this movie. So the idea that this is the fifth highest decom ever is pretty impressive. Right. Yeah, it also received the highest rating ever for a decom on the Disney Channel Japan. In addition to the film, the movie stars took over the block of programming leading to the debut.

So Disney Channel really put their way behind this one, and it certainly paid off. They also repurpose the movie for two other versions. The kick-in version, which is K-I-K, apostrophe I-N, which included five new scenes and a remixed version where the cast answered viewer questions and taught karate moves. The movie's budget was just $5 million and impressively low amount for the time, considering it's success.

But a lot can be accredited to the film's star, a Disney kid who is having quite a moment right now that is Brenda Saw, I'm one of our favorites. She reportedly trained for two weeks with 16 hour days. She did most of her own stunts and has said she pushed herself to the max as it tribute to her mom who had battled breast cancer the year before. Really cool. You also saw the work she put it. We found this fact online and it might be the most 2006 sentence ever.

But I'm going to say it anyway. The film was originally set to air on June 2nd, 2006, but was pushed back by Disney Channel due to technical difficulties involving the film's official website, which is, you know, in 2006, they're still new having websites for all this kind of stuff.

“It was out and people were doing it, but it was still like, are you on that internet thing?”

Also, a large amount of criticism online about this movie involves Asian stereotypes, luckily something we seem to be moving farther away from in 2021. But it, you know, has to be said, it was a different time, especially when it came to Asian representation movies or, well, lack thereof for that matter. Though the movie was set in California, most of the film was actually filmed in Auckland, New Zealand, which was a decision made to accommodate the film's

action director. Now, I'm going to do a blanket apology right here to everyone. There are names that I'm going to say, and I'm sure I'm going to butcher the pronunciation as somebody who grew up with a name that nobody got right. I don't like when people mispronounced my name. I apologize because I know I'm going to mess these up, but bear with me. So I'm going to do the best I can. Better you than me because I would. Yeah. So literally butcher them. I am going to try.

So apologies to everyone involved when I eventually mangled your name. I'm so sorry. But here we go. So the film's action director was Kochi Sakamoto, the brains behind the original power Rangers fights, but there we go, which is kind of a cool piece of trivia. And Sakamoto was able to bring in a lot of actors from power Rangers, including Sally Martin, who is the blue power

“Ranger in power Rangers Ninja Storm. See? It's still not wrong. All right. Okay. Really?”

I think they throw in Ninja Stars and slicing people over, you know, assassinating people in the middle of the night for gold, then they're not ninjas. And Anna Hutchinson, who played the yellow Ranger in Jungle Fury. They shot at Long Bay College and used some of their students' extras, all part of a quick 24-day shoot, which is fast. And Wendy Wu was just the eighth decum ever to get the TV PG rating thanks to all the fight scenes of the eight we have now watched four

twitches, Halloween Town, Halloween Town 2, and mom's got a date with a vampire. Do you think that it was PG for mom's got a date with vampire because it was so bad? Yeah, oh, oh, fighting words again, but vampire fighting words. Halloween Town, Halloween. Probably scary. Probably because of the scary aspect that we think are twitches, twitches. Again, you had like the girls didn't they kill people? The father was dead and he was killed by her name. They had to look into

the like the like the rules of like the breakdown of what? Yeah. You never know because I know back

in the day it's like if they showed somebody smoking that got a new rating if they showed somebody this. So you never know what it could possibly be. But anyway, yeah, you might be asking yourself

no sequel? That's a good question, Mark. Did you get that? Did you get that? No, if you see it, you haven't seen the room? Oh, God. Oh, Sabrina, we got to talk. Okay. There was a seven-to-tock. I got to start. So your education, the room is considered the worst like the worst movie ever made. It's brilliant. And that's one of the famous lines. Good question, Mark. So there was a sequel Greenlit in 2007 as reported by Variety, but it was eventually cut from the Disney schedule and

never spoken of again. The idea for the follow-up was said to involve an alternate ending of

the movie found on its DVD, where Yang Lowe, who was obviously the bad guy, was shown to have secretly inhabited the body of the Wu family dog. Now, I told you, I already broke protocol and jumped ahead and told you that I've never heard of this movie. Had you heard of Wendy Wu? I had heard, but never had seen. I this right in 2006, like I've been a fan of Brenda Song for just, I mean, since the day she, like, spoke one line. It's her first song. Thank you very much.

And so, yes, I mean, and it was awesome and I heard it, but I had never seen it. So I was really, really excited to know we were watching this one. Yeah, I did. Yeah. And you already said you'd never

heard of that. Never heard of this, but again, I just missed all these. So yeah, I guess, I mean,

“I don't know, I think when people talk about Brenda Song, they talk about this movie. Okay. Well,”

there's like a big thing. I can see why. Because you all of the stuff she did on the channel, she was like, a part of the ensemble, or she was, you know, the, like, the second character. This was like her, getting her own movies. So it was a pretty big moment on the channel. So I can see that. And again, when she hops on screen, you can see why she became a star. You too can learn more about Wendy Wu. She's available right now to stream on Disney plus.

And you have the choice to watch it before or after our recap. But we've been told that if you listen before, you'll be the recipient of 15 years of good luck. No, no, wait, it was 15 years of bad luck. There was fit. Who knows. Just try and we let us know. It does help to watch the movie and have your kind of own opinions before you start hearing us as long as you love any of the

“angel-hating things. It really helps. I think you and I, if we went back and looked at everything,”

I think you and I are on the same page more often than we're not. It's crazy. I feel like you're everywhere that I'm like, this is the worst movie ever. And you're like, I loved it. Like,

that almost never happens. Almost never. But in the times it does, I explain basically why

long ago we go from there. That's it. That's the problem. It's like, I just, why they're not into that like little sister aspects. Like, I don't know why I try everyone. Please, stop giving me so much on Instagram. I freaking try. Okay. Look, if you don't Instagram, no, it's like, I think they're like, oh, well, then Will says it's read just like goes along with it. And I'm like, no, no, I don't agree. You and I will go fight about certain movies. But you do see, I mean, again, some of them aren't

great in the ones that are we enjoy. Yes, just the way it is. Yes. I feel like I pull you. I mean, the fact that you love musicals now. You can just like are dying to like, you're like, when's the next musical guy? Oh, my God, why is nobody breaking the song? Her name is Brenda Song. Why is she not singing for that opportunity to break into song right now? Why? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I feel like that's because of me. Like, you love it because I love it. I agree. Now, let's see if we

love this one. It is time for our synopsis. Teen girl Wendy Wu focuses on becoming homecoming queen until she learns she has the soul of an ancient female warrior destined to battle an evil spirit.

“Okay, Sabrina, it's time to enter the temple. What are your early thoughts on Wendy Wu?”

I'm coming warrior. What did you think? I want you to know hands down. I went into this movie already loving it because I do love it just like, okay, fair enough. And I was like, Will's not even going to care that like, I didn't even have my phone next to me. I went after and put some notes, but I was ready to love this movie. Brenda Song, check. Ninja aspect, check. Like, just evil demon that we are going to destroy and like overcome a check. I was already like, I knew

this is what was going to be. And I was like, already obsessed. So I went into this a little unfair. I don't think I went into it with an absolute bias. And I have no no regard like, I don't care. I just, no regret. Okay, but no regret to be bad because you could not live up to your hype where you did it live up to the hype you were hoping. Absolutely. It was no point where I was like, this is stupid. I'm like, everything that they did that even though most ridiculous thing

that happened on the screen, I was like, don't care. Okay. I love it. I went in art. You love

of anything. And there was no, there was no wrong in this movie for me. Those are my early thoughts

that's going to be my just put a 10 on it. Okay, I'm not going to go that far, but I don't disagree. This, this, this hit kind of all of, I don't know Brenda Song as well as you the things I've seen or and I like, but this hit the fantastical side, the martial art side, the history side. I love when they put a culture's folklore into something. It's like one of my favorite things in the world. So it did, I was the same way. Like the heavy hitters they had. Like, oh, it just was,

well, this was just like one of our like, oh, thank God. We like, I'm just so excited for it. I like it. And not to mention like the fact that Disney went for it and they went for it. They went for the backfield. They were one to knock it out of the park because this was a big, like, again, you're going

into the culture aspect. You're going into a lot of stuff that like a lot of people could fight

back on. Yeah. And Disney just were like, you know what, we're Disney. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Right. You're also doing a highly choreographed martial arts movie that was done well. Like, it all looked great. Yes. It's got the wire work from like crouching tiger hidden dragon kind of stuff. So this was the time of all that have to mean, right? Like, I don't know the dates like you would because you have your little bit better of like, oh, please crouching tiger came out in 2000.

“So six years later, but this was still, okay, I got if you want to see a movie, go watch a”

house of flying daggers. It is so good. It's the same kind of kind of thing as as crouching tiger. It's that, you're right. It's this early 2000s, the beautiful Asian background and the outfits and

the martial arts, awesome. The only that we'll get it there. Oh, they're the little tiny bit of things

that I'm like, oh, I'm going to nitpick. The movie was far from perfect. There was some stupid that happened in this movie. Don't get me wrong. But oh, they're so good. And I just didn't care. I didn't know. There was that this was not a perfect feel. I didn't walk away going like, oh my God, it's on Goldland Pond, but it was good. Yes. But so, yes, I'm still going to nitpick, but here we go. So the director, again, we're working on names, everybody. So the director was John Liang,

a New Zealand native who directed a ton of action TV, including Zina Warrior Princess, Hercules and the hitchhiker. He also has Power Rangers history, which seems like a pre-requisite for this movie. And his Disney history, mostly rests in the channel, adjacent TV show,

“the Adventures of the Swiss Family Robinson, which I think is just a family that gets lost.”

And like I said, it stars a Disney darling all over the press nowadays for a big career resurgence. It's Brenda Song is Wendy Wu, a child actor best known as London Tippedin on the Sweet Life of Zach and Cody, but her overall Disney channel game is quite possibly unmatched. She also appeared on shows like Fill of the Future. That's so raven. Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place and Finius in Furb. So I have to ask, with get a clue, the ultimate Christmas

present, the Sweet Life movie, stuck in the suburbs, and Wizards on deck. With Hannah Montana, is Brenda Song officially the Queen of Decombs? Do we have to plan it? I think she needs to be at least Lady Brenda. Like, she has to be if she's not the Queen, she's at least Lady. But who else could we put above her? Who is done? I mean, there might be bigger names like when you get Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez. So there might be bigger names, but bigger decommies.

And because she's a little bit older, she's a tiny bit prestigious like, and she might have to

“say all hail the Queen. I really think you might have to say all hail the Queen. Yep, it's it's quite”

possible. And nowadays you heard her in the massive Disney hit Zootopia to this time it's personal, as Kitty Lynxley, I think, and on Disney's amphibia, but she's also been on shows like running point, Delphay, Station 19, and Dad's, and movie like the social network and the last show girl. Shin Koyamata plays Shen. He was unfreecking believable in the Tom Cruise movie the last samurai. I don't know if you've seen that, but he was really good and holds several black belts in various

different styles and martial arts. By the way, a lot of people hated that Tom Cruise movie. It's one of my favorite Kelty Pleasure movies I thought it was great. Susan Chang is Nina. Chang has been in a ton of television shows and some of the biggest of all time. She appeared on a bunch of Dharma and Greg episodes, charmed, monk, victorious, big bang theory and Veep, but she's best known as Tobin in miscongeniality, too. Also this time it's personal.

Justin Chong plays Peter. He might be known to many of our listeners as Tony Lee on the next show, Just Jordan, but I think he's most famous from his time as Eric in the twilight movies. The former child actor also wrote and directed the movie Blue Bayou, which he starred in opposite Alicia Vickender. He's also set to direct an upcoming biopic on the band Sublime. Oh, I think it'll be my god.

But does Justin Chong involve himself in common sense? See, we love it when a movie hits our target

“of 90 minutes. That's the perfect length of a film. So where does Wendy Wu sit when it comes to duration?”

It is 91 minutes. Oh, the horror people. One minute off and not on the right side of history. No, okay. Tire 60 seconds too long. A number that easily could have been shaped off. It's a mistake by all involved. Start to kick this one off with such film. No, no, no. No, okay. That would have been cut from the fight scene, which no, do not mess with it. Really? You couldn't, you couldn't maybe cut a minute out of her baking cupcakes?

There you go. See, this is how I play you back and on the right side of the road. All right, okay. Okay. And we have a bevy of who was talking about. Okay, thank you. We could have lost 60 seconds of cupcake. And it would have been the same movie chat. Yeah, so we have a bevy of writers on this one.

“It might be a glimpse into why we didn't hit 90 because there's too many cooks.”

Lydia Look is listed as a writer. And this is her only movie. But she was a working actor. Successful for many years. She was missing a woo for 10 years on general hospital and appeared on TV shows like bones, pushing daisies and N.S. Los Angeles. Not sure how she got involved with this project as a writer, though, but interesting, interesting resume. We also have Mark C. Brooks a writer from the Steve Harvey show whose most recent credit is a story editor on the documentary

surviving our Kelly. It's quite a different vibe. And of course, we're not done still. Got a big writing team now. Vince Trang and Ben Montenio. They are Emmy winners for their work on Wizards Awayverly Place and have tons of credits, including married with children, growing pains, needs declassified emptiness and the Steve Harvey show. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guild season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.

Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tramaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Tramaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity." The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything. Listen to burden of guild season 2 on the

iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Self-doubt, mental health, and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight. I hate fame. I hate the word celebrity hate those words that you make

“me uncomfortable. But I think when you get to a certain point, the fame or the success or the”

influence, it just accentuates and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says

he's always going to be there and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there.

I'm in Australia when Bow is born. My whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children. Over my job, I dread the conversation with my son. What do you think you'd say? 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 false story? A moment you look at the whole picture of the case collapsing. 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 call 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, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful

Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the US government is on to him.

“But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Here how they got it on the 6th”

Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the 6th Bureau on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, everybody. Let's not grab ninja stars because, well, she's not actually an ninja, but let's get in to the film itself. We open on a map, zooming right into Mongolia, then a beautiful temple, a handful of monks are practicing karate flips, sparring, and trying to take down one particular podium held monk. That's it. No, no, this is Shen. But he's very good, even using a dart to shatter a nearby monks cup. And before you say it, a dart is not the

“same as a throwing star. So it very much gives vibes of a Shaolin temple, but it's not, I don't think”

supposed to be. But as the Shaolin demo continues, it's eventually interrupted by a wise elder surrounded by his minions, not the cartoon minions, but monk minions, but cartoon minions would have been really cool too. The Elder monk tells Shen that the evil Yang low has awakened in his arriving soon, Shen assures him he's up for the task, and his handed an old-looking jewelry box filled with gold animal statues, a snake, a tiger, a leopard, and a crane, four of the five deadly venom's,

only the dragon is missing. Shen learned, and at this point I was like, okay, I'm in. It was it. I'm good. I was already in martial arts. Oh, my credits. There you go. Martial arts, cool mystical stuff. Now we're talking about the dragon in the crane. Yes, I'm in. You got me. Shen learned that he's looking for a girl out west in fair springs, California, and when they unravel a scroll, we see a drawing of McColley Kolkin's wife. We transition into a similar

drawing, but way worse, this one of a girl wearing a TR that reads Wendy. This is Wendy Wu, drawing herself as homecoming queen, and she is not paying attention in class. Now, I'd like to add along with our, I was thinking about this so much, along with our starting with the bedroom, which is such a regular Disney trope. I'd like to add not paying attention in class, and the teacher coming over and saying your name over and over again. I've starred in two

movies that my characters introduced this way, which was, I did. It was the first, oh, God,

it was not a movie, I'll tell the long go lock it. So are you afraid of the dark? And then Trojan War. Oh, so there's a cloud starts. Yeah, so your characters introduced you here, the teacher, and they're like not paying attention, and then it's kind of coming out of a dream sequence or something. So that's another Disney kind of trope I'd like to throw out there is the kid sitting in class, not paying attention, and the teacher constantly trying to get their attention.

Right. So not probably as prevalent as the bedroom. No, it's not. But you get the gigantic of who this kid is within their social atmosphere. Yep. Are they the cool kid? Are they the kid that's nobody's friends with? Like, you know what I mean? Like are they like artsy? Are they the dreamer? Are they studious? You can get whatever it's so. You get like a good idea of like this kid's

“character from their social dynamic, which I think is perfect. Yeah. So that's not paying attention.”

Kids also relate to it. Of course. Kids has to be stuck for hours and hours at a desk, everyone. Yeah. I miss it. Her teacher smacks a stick on her desk and asked her to identify a mountain range on the map of Asia as she stumbles for the answer. She is saved by the bell. And this was also I was like, okay, no teacher is just going to let you go in the bell rings if you're a mid question. Every teacher goes, I dismiss you, not the bell. What is that mountain range? And we've all heard

that line before in class. So I was like, that's not real. But then I was like, wait, it's a movie. I'm in Koji mode two. And when my girls start looking behind me, because the clocks behind me. And it's getting to the time where we're supposed to be. And I'm like, do we have an issue? Does anyone have a hot date? See? No, you don't. Okay, well, I'm going to, I'm going to, if you don't mind, I'm going to see. See? There you go. So there you go. I want to see you coach.

Oh, man, you would just be so shocked. I don't know what I see. And I'm not always bright and shiny.

I promise I will just sit there. I will not. I could get through it just out of the way because you like, I'd be totally disrupted. It'd be great. I'd be awesome. I mean, give me one more if you so much fun. That sucks. That sucks. You called out a play or whatever. I'll get some dance moves. All right. We are now at lunch. One of Wendy's friends, Lisa is crying over a recent breakup. She

queen. And she has a perfect boyfriend. And with that, arguably, my favorite character, the movie, perfect boyfriend Austin arrives with a salad. He's such a great. It's, why is he? Oh, God. It's so well played though. He's just playing it. Like, it's like he's a Kendall kind of. It's so funny. The way you play it. Do you saw them Barbie movie, right? You had to not. We've talked about this.

“Oh, you have to see it because the way Ken is played in the Barbie movie is perfect. Like that”

level of duty is, and this kid took it and just ran with it. He's great. Such a great actor to do this. Like he was not trying to be that like all American football player. Oh, cool boyfriend. He was like, no, I'm a place. It's a total dish. I loved him. I loved him. Me too. So things obviously are not

perfect. First Wendy spots Jessica Dawson in the lunch area, handing out cookies looking for homecoming

queen votes. Wendy is not happy about this. Even Wendy's brother Peter took a cookie. She throws a lipstick his way just like the monk with a dart earlier, and it slices the pastry, which cookies not pastry. That's wrong. And slices the cookie in half. Whoa, she's got this. What is the cookie? Is that a pastry? No, it's a dessert. A pastry is like a flaky, laminated. There's certain things that make something a pastry. You usually have to eliminate the dough. It's like, why you get to make

of these rolls? I'm not making up rolls. Who thinks a cookie is a pastry? I mean, it's a cookie. Oreo cookie is a pastry. No, but she wasn't doing it, like an Oreo cookie is not even the same, like it could be. I'm sorry, you're saying Oreo cookie in a chocolate chip cookie are two different categories? Yes, nobody makes Oreo cookies. Well, the good people that go to go do. And yes, what they're in boxes is different. It's like a cookie is a cookie. A homemade cookie is still a

cookie. We have to wait a minute. We got to find a podcast date that we can discuss things like this. This is not going to go anywhere. Don't see the discussion. I get maybe thinking of cookies a pastry. You'd be wrong, but I get seeing it. But it's literally the name cookie. It's called Oreo cookie and chocolate chip cookie. But I would think it's okay to be a pastry or someone who went out. Jensen, you're not wrong. Love you, bro. Can I get a can I get an easy point in the game later?

This is a cookie is not a pastry. Oh my god. That's a thing of pizza is a pasta. No, wrong. Anyway, now we find ourselves in a large museum storage area. It's filled with Chinese relics. Wendy is complaining to her mom. The museum curator about how Jessica is going to ruin homecoming.

“How could you possibly think a cookie? No, this is the only thing that I will be like I'm so”

over this Jessica lady and how she's able to just like ruin homecoming with everything she does. It's like, I don't I wasn't there for this part of high school. I was working at the time. Homecoming, do you actively lobby to become homecoming queen? Like is it, do you run like it's an election? Like, do you try to get votes to become homecoming queen? Is this a real thing? No, girls do what they do. You talk quietly and you like pass by each other and give like,

you talk the other girl. Like this is not how you handle homecoming. Obviously. No, that's not homecoming queen. What are you ranking on the court? Maybe it's because all

your friends are in doggy. I was not that cool girl. I was like in the group, but like never seen.

“Okay. It was too busy. It was like you were in a car go popular adjacent. Is that what you were?”

Um, yeah, probably like I had like my girlfriend. You know Morgan Mackie. Like she was the girl. And even she wasn't up all the time. It was a lot of times in my homecoming queen. No, no. The the homecoming court, what I do respect now, and in the day, we're ended up being the ASP kids. But it's because the ASP kids are the ones that like put the actual events on. Like what is ASP mean? Uh, a student body is, I don't know what the ASP is.

Oh, so it's like student council. Oh, yeah. Okay. You didn't know. I think you were just joking with me. I don't know what this stuff is. Like the student body like 40s. They're like elected to like put they're the ones that decide where homecoming is going to be. Is it? Okay. The quad. So it's the student body. The fundraise and do the thing to like create the events. So like for me in high school,

they didn't the courts never really represented like who was like the most well known throughout the

And I was an adult. I'm like, yes, those are the kids that should be up and get the crown because

“they're the kids that are like making it happen. The girl that's like, you know, not doing anything,”

just like cute and you know, I'm sure great person. Whatever. Yeah, I guess she gets my vote every time. Anyway, so when he is complaining to her mom, the museum curator about how Jessica's going to ruin homecoming, she angrily slams her fist on a crate forcing a nearby vase to wobble, seconds away from falling when he thinks fast and kicks over a cardboard box just saving it from a disastrous fall. But we still don't know where these Daniela Russo instincts are coming from.

And neither does she. Wendy's mom listed all she's too busy prepping for an exhibit of ancient Chinese artifacts in two weeks. This is where I started to go like, okay, the museum curator who's actually Chinese doesn't know anything about the exhibit she's putting up. That was like really

“but anyway, she suggests Wendy forget about homecoming and focus on something more important like”

chores at home. But all that does is give Wendy an idea about cupcakes. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season two podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tramaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Tramaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a

mistake in identity." The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to burden of guilt season two on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Mental health and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight. I hate fame. I hate the word celebrity hate those words that you make me uncomfortable. But if

when you get to a certain point, the fame or the success or the influence, it just accentuates

and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says he's always going to be there

and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there. I'm in Australia when Bo is born. The whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children.

“Over my job, I dread the conversation with my son. What do you think you'd say?”

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 of looking 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 Lepby. Lucy Lepby 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 Lepby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lepby was. No voicing of any skepticism are doubt. It'll call so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to doubt the case of Lucy

Lepby on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful

spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is a special agent, Riegel, a special agent, Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Here how they got it on the 6th Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's the Unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable.

This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the 6th Bureau on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

still sporting traditional monk garb. He calmly walks down the highway and unsuccessfully flags down cars to hitchhike and he's obviously unsuccessful because he's on the wrong side of the road, trying to do that. So when a van speeds by, he decides to run after it and jump on its roof,

this isn't showing that he basically has mythical powers, eventually sitting and meditating

as it speeds down the road. Now I don't know about you, but this seemed very dangerous to me, Sabrina. Do you recommend this is a way to travel to our younger listeners?

“Um, when I was in India, they actually, I don't think, no, I don't think you should do it,”

but this is like a normal transportation app. And yeah, you see them, like on top of the cars. Oh my gosh, none of them are worried about like, I don't know, dying from being on top of the road. And a lot of them do, apparently. I think there's a lot of trained deaths and stuff like that in India with the overcrowding and it's just while hanging off the side and being hit by wires and I really say this struck a chord though, because this was like, at this point,

our first, like, aspect of seeing the, like, the visual effects of him, like, when he, like,

sped, like, it was kind of like, oh, because that's the only thing that I was a little worried about jumping into the movie was like, what? The special effects, because they're obviously going to have to, what, what's it going to look like? Because again, we're on a Disney channel budget. So when I saw that, I was kind of like, oh, okay, not too bad, not too bad. It wasn't too bad.

“It wasn't too bad. Back at Wendy's, she's making cupcakes with her dad who's an ad executive.”

Her grandma's watching her stories on the couch, shouting Mandarin at the TV. When Wendy's mom returns from work, she desperately needs her with the Chinese stuff at work, because she doesn't know her own exhibit, let alone her own culture. And Wendy's grandmother agrees to help. We're now back to the museum. It's nighttime and a career services trying to deliver an old green and gold box hilariously. It's literally just the box, no protection or mailing label or anything

like that, which means someone just handed an important ancient box to a FedEx guy and said, here, ship this. The night security guard accepts the package then, watch again, forgets to relock the door behind him. He takes the box down to the now dark and very ominous storage space. Once he leaves to return to his desk, the box begins to glow green, killing a nearby flower. Shen has dismounted the van roof and arrived at Wendy's house,

where she's cleaning up her cupcake mess. There's a knock at the door and it's Shen, who at

first appear shaken by the idea that she looks different than he expected. He claims she's,

“again, I think I'm saying this right, "Meow Shen, a way dynasty woman warrior sworn to defeat evil”

and it's her time again." She's obviously creeped out by the random monk and as she goes to slam the door, Shen has boosted beyond human ability and is now in the house behind her. OK, OK, OK, OK. OK, what's from? What's up? I don't know if it's like now that I have my daughter who is coming to an age that I'm really like, who? Because I have so many people that help me out, like my girlfriends that take her

when she's at dance and all this, so she's the stranger danger has for me gone. A little scary that she is like if someone came up to her and said, "Call her by her name," like that's scary for me because she might go, "Oh, you know, my mom," or whatever. So I am like adamant about stranger danger right now. Like it's in my vocabulary, it's in my thoughts and talks with her all the time. Sure, this triggered me. Because he's just like jumping in the house behind her.

And in her reaction is not equivalent to what I'm going to need. Like, I mean, like, the face is just starting to be throwing, like, this did not, this was not the equivalence of what I need. Any child, any, any, any, any adult that's trying to come into your house, the reaction was not correct. And I'm like, "Does me, I rely on you to teach the lessons to the children." This wasn't it. So we failed all the other stuff. I did not disagree.

Well, I was like, "Okay, apparently." Like, we're, this is when I thought the kung fu fighting would start, like, this is when it's like, let's get it going. Right, stranger in your house girl and it didn't happen. So it was a month for me. Okay, fair enough. The tells are not to be frightened. He's a Buddhist monk from the Jinji mountain temple. And as like, that doesn't help. She exactly, well, she tries to strike him with a broom that just magically appeared and he dodges

it with a flip. They spar with impressive sets of moves. And now we see why they shot this near that fight coordinator because it's was a pretty big surprise to see. It was a really good fight scene. Wendy eventually gets the upper hand and pushes Shen out the front door. Yes. We're now back at the museum. The box is still glowing and rumbling, finally getting the attention of the security guard. He approaches the glow with pepper spray, but it pops open and exposes

a big green ball and releases a spirit who towers over the guard and enters his eyes. TV, PG, indeed. Pretty scary scene. I thought that I can get why they'd have to give this PG because if you're

after a fight scene, I can see why they would need to make it a little older. The guard scans the

“mom's desk can take stay frame picture of Peter and Wendy while heavily breathing. And now a”

pizza guy who just happens to be Shen's brother, Peter has arrived at the museum. The guard unlocked the door despite the fact that we noticed he did not lock it when the glowing box was delivered, but whatever, let it slide. More importantly, Al, the security guard is now an evil deity. Peter

notices that the evil guard, but he doesn't always an evil guard at the time, has a frame picture of

him and his sister and he knows that that's not normal. The guard grunts at Wendy and his eyes start glowing, eventually the evil deity leaves Al and transfers itself to Peter who immediately walks out. The security guard returns to his natural state. Once again, he does not lock the door. This man should be fired. Back at home, Wendy is talking in the phone, talking to a friend all about the weird monk who tried to fight her earlier. She thinks Jessica is to blame somehow. And then she

shocked to see Jessica on the news. She's the guest weather person and still just politicking for votes when he screams into a pillow she is doomed. Meanwhile, her evil deity brother Peter returns home clearly on a mission, but Wendy now has a security guard, it's Shen himself meditating

and guarding the front door. The brothers vibe Alarm Sim, so he sneaks in to take a look inside and

sees evil deity Peter holding a green orb right above Wendy as she's sleeping. Shen quickly glides straight up two stories to find all lives of gravity. And this is where you get real crouching tiger hidden dragon kind of vibes, which is totally cool. Shen storms in just as the Europe starts stealing Wendy's spirit and glides onto a nearby piano turns in a spinning back kick and knocks a ball of evil Peter's hands. It's a so cool. The orb flies into a fish aquarium and

extinguishes. Shen holds up his own glowing item, which is a golden coin, but it does nothing to evil Peter. The two men trade kicks and slaps all by Wendy's days asleep on the couch. Great moves in choreography once again and all the stunt work on wires is really cool. They're exchanging blows. Great choreography. It's seriously like high level kung-fu movie magic in a decomb. It was like, oh my gosh, again, you're kind of going, you're bracing yourself like,

how's Disney going to do this? Is it going to be bad? Is it going, and you're going, oh my gosh,

this looks amazing. It looks great. It looks weird. There's no way this is far million dollars.

You could have asked for more with obviously knowing still the Disney budget that are the channel budget, and I mean, even just the stunt people themselves were obviously so high quality. Like, you know, it was great. Yeah, everybody clearly knew what they were doing.

“This was like, yeah, did you wish you could have done this in tea to girls?”

Yes, oh my gosh. Why are working martial arts while singing strut? Well, I don't know a strut could have gotten to a better level than it was, but that's absolutely true. Maybe you're maybe you're romantic dancing. I'm not your romantic dancing, where you're making out with what's his name. You could just wire work it and then break into a martial arts fight. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, during the fight, Shen kicks the orb, and it disintegrates,

and when he uses the glowing golden coin this time, the spirit transfers from Peter to the family dog. By the way, these were people that absolutely watched the movie, the hidden. The animal slither's outside through a duck. Okay, so the hidden just very quickly is about it's it's it's it's so good. Kauma Glockland plays a cop, at least you think he's a cop, and he's chasing this criminal who keeps like stealing bank robberies, stealing cars,

shooting people, but it's all these different regular citizens that all of a sudden just start going haywire and killing all these people. And what you find out is it's actually an alien inhabiting different bodies and jumping from body to body and Kauma Glockland's another alien inhabiting a cop who's been chasing this alien criminal through different planets. Who's bad and who's not? I'm already confused. You've got to watch it. Great. All right. But there's a dog.

But it gets it. I'm not going to give anything away. Just go watch the movie. I can't handle dogs. I can't deliver. Right. That part is a little bit fun. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. Okay. The animal slithers outside the doggy door and when Peter comes in, Shen is nowhere to be found. We see that he's hiding on the ceiling and I need to have the scene find its way into the rewindies for best fight scenes because it's what's great. There are several scenes in this

movie that could that have to be up there for best fight scenes. Oh yeah. We got to have a whole

“category. We have hoping there's another deep. Yes. Some fights. I think that would just”

automatically give them. Yeah. Because it's like this would be a great other what fight scenes? How about in what's it? We just talked to Marcus Tojie about it. The movie where the bullies come and beat them up in front of the the bus stop. That was a toothless toothless. Yes. There you go. So we can put this up with the toothless fight scene and see which one is better. The next morning Wendy's mom details her upcoming ancient Chinese exhibit of which she knows nothing

returns when he's mad at her brother who's still asleep because she woke up with some gold coin necklace around her that he must have put on her when she was out. But he knows that that's

useless. It's not her. But it's sad. It's sad. It's her life. It's first of all you ruin it by

calling it a necklace. It's obviously an ancient mythical medallion. It's calling this necklace is like calling a cookie a pastry. Yes. So then Wendy notices a picture of the Jinji temple

“monks in her mom's work pile. It takes back 1,500 years yet. Somehow I think was still in color.”

But Wendy recognizes this look from her. It was was the picture in color. I think it was. In which I was like, how is it a 1500 year old photograph? First of all, which didn't exist. And second of all, a photograph in color from 1500 years ago is interesting. It takes back 1500 years. It's like, it's a Polaroid. It's a brain and well, it's a damn well. I'm sorry. It's because everybody sees it. Yeah, I don't even want to see that. It's like, this is a picture from 10,000

years ago. But Wendy recognizes this look from her and counter was shin. She leaves with that even taking the 500 vote for me cupcake. She worked on all night. And there's nothing I hate more in films than wasting. So unbelievable. I'm going to drop it at point just for that. Outside shin is standing in a tree watching Wendy leave. When she's gone, he rushes into the house to recover the coin. Only to find her grandmother holding it. She knows what it represents and

asks if Wendy is a warrior. Shenz says yes, then takes the necklace and promises to protect her

“with her life. It's a very nice scene. Meanwhile, Wendy is walking at school and she's off at”

a ride from her friends. Shenz rushes over yelling at her to wear the coin and she's instantly freaked out and rightfully so telling her friends to take off. Shenz steals a kid's scooter and uses it to catch up with the car to stop light, which I found interesting because he has super speed. So why did he need to do that? But anyway, he grabs onto the tail light and the girl's drag him for blocks up to top speed, eventually fish telling him off and launching him 20 feet into a bush.

Wendy and her friends agree. Let's just pretend that never happened. And now it's time for PE class

and Jessica and Wendy are dukeed it out on the soccer field, eventually Wendy takes over as goalie and we see Shenz sitting alone in the stands. You know, like, Shenz does because there's often monks just hanging out in soccer practice. Wendy makes her way down field and gets a wide open look at Jessica and the goal. It's a stare down as Wendy preps her kick. She flips the ball into the air. It does it like a 1080 flippy bicycle kick kind of thing straight at Jessica

and it kicks her right in the stomach with the ball and she's flows into the back of the net and it's a goal people. Wendy has no idea how she did that but her friends think that that little better coming. And on the other side of campus, Wendy's evil family dog arrives at school, ooh and goes straight to Mr. Noon in the principal's office and Wendy goes to pet the stray dog, which I was first I was like, who's going to do that? And I was like, I would, I just go down and

pet a random stray dog at my door. So that totally betrays for me. Hell, yes, I would. I love dogs.

“So I'd be like, "Hi, what's wrong with you? Why are you at my door? Do you need to come in? Here's”

my wallet." Yeah, that's I absolutely would. And then we get glowing eyes and it's yet another spirit transfer. Oh, it's the hidden. Also, Shen finds Wendy who is now contemplating her kick power in the stands. He tells her she's in danger and she must wear the coin. Wendy just doesn't get it. Who is this guy and why was he at her house? He explains he traveled from far and it's her destiny to help. He knows all about her and about her mysterious powers and allegedly has been reincarnated repeatedly

to protect warriors from Yang Lowe's spirit. As the next descendant, if she doesn't defeat the evil spirit, earthquakes, locust tornadoes, famines, ocean rising, fire, droughts, everything will appear. It's essentially the end of the world. Her kung fu training must start now, but instead, she leaves with her friends for the ball. I was like, dude, you were just told the world's going to end, but you're going to go shopping. Come on. Later on the phone, she tells her friends that

Shen is her cousin from China and as a result, her friends come up with a very racist idea. They'll write vote for Wendy on a bunch of chopsticks and hand them out at lunch. Wendy, of course, says, "Hey, guys, that's pretty much blatantly racist." No, I'm kidding. She doesn't say that. Instead, she finds Shen and her door again, yapping about the coin and the necklace again, Wendy's had

enough. She reminds him she never agreed to train, then tells him to go away. That night,

as Shen is still perched outside watching over the house, Wendy's grandma covers her with a blanket and brings the necklace in and places it on Wendy for him. And then it's the next morning, Wendy throws it right back at Shen. She's not wearing this thing, dude. Just walk away. And as she arrives at school for another day, the evil deity principle is waiting for her in the parking lot. Shen notices and jumps right into action. He sprints to the teacher and takes him down.

And by him, I mean, a stuntman and a gray wig who looks like the principal, go posit. It's pretty funny. Shen also uses the coin, which again, transfers the spirit from the principal to a ball teacher named Mr. Medina, luckily, no wig was needed for him. Wendy reunited to the boyfriend Austin, our favorite. And another teacher, Mr. Tobias, quickly reminds them that public displays of affection

we have talked about this here. Where kids allow to just blatantly make out in high school in your

hallways? I don't know if it was necessarily like allowed to, but they did.

“Like, they were never like broken up. Like, hey, you guys stop kissing. I think if a teacher came around,”

they would. Okay. And notice, I don't know if I think if the teacher came around and they were making out like, and the teacher, the kids usually stopped. If the kids didn't stop, the teacher would be like, hey, all right, let's break it up. Not get out. Like, but it wasn't like, like, let me reverse. I'm not safe. Like, five feet apart. Nothing like that. And also dances. I think we're the only time that the shopper owns the shopper owns the comment and kind of go, all right, that was enough

when like dancing was happening at like the dances. Now the kids don't want in case it got dirty dancing, like sexy dirty dancing. I mean, they weren't dancing like that, but like, yeah, like bump. Come on. Say it. That's walk me through it, Sabrina. I want your face matches. You're sure. So keep going. Come on. What kind of sexy dances are you talking about? Are we talking to work in Jersey Turf? I can, what do you got? No, not to work. He wasn't a thing when I was in

high school, but I feel like maybe it was like bumping and grinding. Okay. You know, where was like the girls are in front in your, your popping it, your popping it, your popping it and popping it. Okay. The, the boys are back there. And you know, like, it's, oh, okay. I'll see you later. Well, this is the best. I don't know. I don't think it was cool enough to even attend those things. I don't even remember dancing. Oh, please, you were popping it like it was hot or whatever. We all know that.

“Five minutes. You were there selling, selling Oreo pastry. Yeah, but you know, that's what the,”

honestly, the girls and the kids don't even go to the dance anymore. They literally get the dresses,

get all dolled up, take pictures, get on a party bus, and then never even go to the dance at all.

And their kids aren't drinking anymore at here or having sex or then what the hell are they doing? They mean, I guess. That's like the thing. Well, like they, they're literally, they're literally just like taking the party bus wherever it goes, maybe to dinner or whatever. And then that's it. They don't even that's it. It makes me so sad, especially like my seniors, like you guys don't even go to the dance and like have the, at least like a so dance or a moment with your girls where you're just like,

normally don't. Kids are weird. Kids are weird. It's just the way it is. Now I'm depressed. Oh, that's right. You'll be able to have fun in my prom. I know. I can't wait. And I, it's going to be so much fun. Yeah, wait. Do I do I do drop it like this? Oh, dude, it's going to be so hot.

“It's going to be drop. You watch. Speaking of so hot, Austin has some news that San Francisco”

modeling agencies submitted the, is photos to called his pictures 80s retro, which he's like, is that good? But obviously is not. Then Shenapheers, still with the coin, now to make sure Austin is evil when he sends him off to the bathroom to check for spirits, mostly just a ditch him, so she can talk to Austin about going to Maria's party. Austin's excited to go, especially because he thinks they're going to end up homecoming king and queen. Then dozens of women come screaming

out of the bathroom. Shen is declared their toilet is safe. Jessica sees this all go down and is very petty and passive aggressive and has some bad news. Wendy is suspended from any extracurricular activity, including homecoming court because her great average is below a sea. Thanks to world history. And I was like, wow, we've got a Disney star of a movie that's a bad student. Yeah. So with midterms in a week and no knowledge of China, she is absolutely screwed, except Shen says

he can help. He knows everything about Chinese history and will tutor her as long as she starts taking kung fu and wears the coin. And she accepts the offer at the perfect time because bad evil deity, Mr. Media is about to pounce. But thanks to the coin, the spirit is now transferred to somebody new, the school gardener. And I couldn't believe it took us 40 minutes, but we get our

first kung fu training montage. This time with Lilith Fair style music in the background. Shen teaches

Wendy moves, but she's taken phone calls, neat potato chips, mid lesson. And when it's time to learn these 1500 years of Chinese history, Shen tells her all she has to do is meditate, which sure seems like an odd lesson for kids watching. Knowing that this is her only chance, she agrees and ends up liking it. She does it in class at home and at lunch. And thanks to all the hard work, if you can call just meditating hard work, she gets an A. Because now she knows everything apparently without

cracking a book. And it's now eligible for homecoming queen. They really blew past that. Yeah. While celebrating, she roundhouse kicks a kid named Todd. And she's either becoming a kung fu master or just assaulting random classmates without warning. We're not really sure either way. It's a fun movie. But Shen likes what he sees. Her skills are coming along nicely, but she needs more training. Wendy gets it, but she has homecoming queen to worry about. And though evil is on

and now wondering if she draws anything other than pictures of herself. Wendy's grandmother admits

that she misses China, especially her grandpa's old stories. She highlights one tale about a young girl, again named Meoshen, who trains to become a Yin warrior every 90 years. Wendy immediately recognizes the story and then Shen walks into the room. It's obvious that they're working together. Grandma calls the tradition and honor. Wendy's mom gets home from work and is surprised to see this monk in her home. Everybody's like, hey, there's just a monk here. That night, Shen joins

family dinner. Now, disguise as a visiting great grand nephew. He bonds with Wendy's mom,

“over her upcoming, I think it's kin dynasty exhibit, which he offers to help with. He also promises”

Peter, he'll teach him some kung fu, starting with a move. He calls monkey jumps over the wall. Shen also made traditional moon cakes for the family, but Wendy's dad is clearly affected. He kind of believes everything is getting too culturally Chinese for him and he retreats upstairs. And I literally paused right here and looked up exactly the process for making a moon cake and what they're filled with and all it's up. And I so want to try one because they sound, they look so good.

I mean, yeah, just looked really good. Later, Wendy's talking to a friend in the phone about Shen. It seems like the way he dresses could affect her homecoming queen chances, which Wendy thinks is dumb. But she still takes Shen to the mall for a new wardrobe. When we get another, this was a very weird

“montage. The shopping for cool fedoras. It was just a hat montage. It turned into like what is it”

outfit? And then at some point it was just hat fedora and sunglasses and him just spinning. And by

this by the third minute of spinning. Maybe this was the 60 seconds. It's somewhere maybe one last

kangel hat. And or Avril Lagoon tie. Kind of like you go from here. Yeah. And kind of like for what? Like it just was like just get him. Yeah. You have a brother that literally looks like the same size. Just grab a t-shirt and pair of hands. This was a strange one. Yes. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guild season two podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night Bobby Gumpride became the victim

of a random crime. He pulls the gun. He tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termene Hudson as the perpetrator. Termene was sentenced to 99 years. And like Laura, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. For 22 years only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to burden of guild season two on the i-heart radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host

of the on purpose podcast. I'm joined by Luke Combs, award winning country music artist, and one of the most authentic voices in music today. Luke opens up about success, self-doubt, mental health, and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight. I hate fame. I hate the word celebrity hate those words that you make me uncomfortable. But if when you get to a certain point, the fame or the success or the influence, it just accentuates

and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says he's always going to be there

and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there. I'm in Australia when Bo is born. My whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children.

“Over my job, I dread the conversation with my son. What do you think you'd say?”

Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the i-heart 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?

A moment you look at the whole picture in the case of 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

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful

“spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal,”

Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the US government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Here how they got it on the 6th bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer no doubt no question of his life and that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes

opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the 6th bureau on the i-heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Back at home, when he's dad gave in and ate the delicious mooncakes, he didn't mean to be rude to shine. It just made him feel like a kid again. And since he knows he's turned his back on his own culture, it makes him feel guilty. But China's reminded him he wants to be a Chinese American family, not just an American family.

I thought this was really nice and a really interesting way of showing the culture how it's like you can forget your own culture when you become, you go somewhere else and you assimilate and you become part of that culture. And sometimes you can kind of forget where you came from.

And I thought it was a really interesting way of showing that. Yes. And it's always nice to like

realize, yes, embrace where you are now. But like don't let go of where you came from. Like exactly how they do this matters. And it's important.

“Them together, that's what this country supposed to be about is exactly.”

That other, everything together. And finding a way that it's all okay. It's all good. I agree. So yeah, I thought that was great. And great for kids. Great messaging. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's a good message. Another good message. Another good message. At school, Wendy bumps into Austin who got blonde highlights for homecoming. I love this guy. He's the best. He suggests they stay away from Shen because people are

starting to talk, but Wendy fights back in defense the monk just has he enters the hallway yelling vote for Wendy. But now he's in some very cool clothes. And the ladies are flocking to him. Austin is already jealous that Shen went from monk to hunk. That night, Shen admits he liked the attention. She thinks him for adapting. And he eats a chocolate cupcake for the first time in any of his lives. Wendy brings up girlfriends from his past and he admits he'd never had one. He's a

monk. Wendy also reveals she's never been in love. She's only with Austin because people say they look cut together and it'll help her win homecoming queen. Wow. The biggest reveal is that Shen will never return home. His destiny is to sacrifice himself during the battle and die. And they just

threw that out. There's like, man, this is amazing. Chocolate, I've never had chocolate. I'm here to die.

It was like, oh my god. Are you okay about that? Like, this is okay about it. It says, it's going to be ripped off. I mean, so weird. Does it worry you? I don't know. Yeah.

“Any point you're just going to throw yourself in front of like, is it going to be a car?”

Doesn't care. He's like, wow, this cupcakes are amazing. I'm going to be stabbed in the heart. Oh my god. Now a very depressed. Yes. He says that his destiny is to sacrifice himself during the battle to die. A depressed Wendy suggests that maybe his teenage experience should last a little longer and so brings him to a dance party. At this get together, which of course takes place at the break of 2 p.m. apparently because that's when all the best dance parties are. Girls again

are all horned up for Shen and as a result, Wendy's getting a little jealous. Austin is also mad when he was supposed to meet up with him and do some campaigning. And as a result, she breaks up with him on the same day. Homeboy got highlights. That's just good. Me. How good it. I just got highlights. Yeah, frosted tips. You're frosty. That's all I got to say. Boom. Drop in me. Popping it like it's hot or whatever Sabrina said when she was bright red. And out on the dance floor, Shen is showing off

his kung fu flips and splits and he's killing it. Wendy sees a girl kiss him on the cheek and now she's very sure she wants to bang her cousin. He's not actually her cousin. But that's the story in a fit of rage. And then the whole time I'm watching going like, oh, that's right. They're not cousins. Get out of your head. They put that in your nose. Yeah, yeah. This isn't clueless. We're nobody cared that she ended up with her stepbrother at the end. So in a fit of rage, she throws her coin

necklace into a chip bowl and storms out. But that was bad move because one of the girls in the

clearly possessed inside Shen answers thinly veiled racist questions from other students like,

“"Do you know Yao Min?" Billion people in China, but of course he's going to know that guy.”

And right when Wendy is about to confide in Tori, she reveals the big green glowing orb, her spirit is in danger. Shen sees the coin in the chip bowl and knows he's got to help Wendy. He jumps over the pool and kicks the ball out of Tori's hands just in time. Wendy then kicks Tori and the orb into the pool, creating a massive hot tub. All the party goers excitedly jump in and Wendy knows she must complete her training. Jessica takes the picture of the soaking wet

Tori to embarrass her in the yearbook. And as a result, the evil deity transfers to Jessica. And this was another problem I had. And again, we're talking about nitpicking. But why when you put the orb into the pool, does it bubble like it's going crazy? But when he knocked the orb into the fish tank, there was no bubbling in it. None. It's, yeah, there were weeks. This was the thing and I knew you're going to pick it apart. I will tell you right now, I didn't care. But the rules were

not designated. No, no, no, no rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No, no, no. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules. No rules

time to go down. Anything, but like truly, I now know. Watch or with you. There must be rules. Thank you. And they weren't. And I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't want to be the guy harping on it. But again, what exactly does a necklace do? What is in what does the green

“ball do? The green. Right. The green ball I think is supposed to take her soul, but it doesn't”

say why? The necklace, he just holds it up and then the person kind of goes, ah, yeah. But then they don't instantly transfer to another body, who does it? It also doesn't like to finish like your in any sense, right? Also, if it doesn't matter who you are while you're there, why doesn't the evil body just take over her shit? Yes. Well, yeah, because he didn't have one of them, like if it made, it would have made more sense if he had. You just need a scene of him saying, I can do like this

is what it means. This is what it means. The monk in me. Exactly. Can't do it. Right. Exactly. Like the tattoo that pops up at the end. Mommy, the floor's lava. How are you walking? I'm like 'cause I've got mommy powers. Like the floor's got lava to mommy's. You just want everywhere I go. Perfect. Interesting. I got to become a mommy because my floor's lava and I can't count this room. But there has to be rules or an explanation. A class, thank you. It just

needed ones. Let's take out four minutes of cupcake talk and add four minutes of rules and we've got a better film. But luckily, when he's jumped into full karate mode, it's time for her final lesson and Shen reveals those deadly venom statues from earlier. He explains that the missing dragon represents invincibility and then it magically pears as a tattoo on his arm, which again, you could

have explained a little better. She also never gets one, which she should have. The statues

then bring ancestor ghosts to life in the park, causing absolutely nobody walking by to freak out

“in any way, shape or form. Why are you doing this in the middle of a whole bunch of people?”

There are plenty of places you could go. Why not do this somewhere else? But okay. But when he can't learn to fight from these random dead monks, they've done nothing wrong to her and she finds it very awkward. So Shen possesses the spirit of Wendy's mean soccer coach, her principle, the teacher who hates public make-out sessions and Mr. Medina to teacher. So this puts Wendy at ease where now she can fight her teachers. Yeah, just odd ball gang. Yes, this is where

give her a group of four friends that were her age. Tell me you wouldn't want to see frosted tips guy as one of the monks teaching her. Like, I mean, why not put people her own age, making the old, I get what they're doing, but it was this to me was a little strange from practicing in the park to now it's your teachers teaching you and that doesn't make you uncomfortable, nobody in the park, none of your friends, nobody notices that you're martial artsing out with all of your

teachers and teachers that don't look, it's not like the, the P teacher idea or soccer, that works that would go on in the winter time. But like, yes, your friends are for an American teacher, looks fine, but the big heavy set white guy is walking on a fence. Nobody's going to notice

anyway. Yeah, so they put her at ease somehow and she master some amazing moves as a result.

This training montage and some pretty funny scenes of stuffy white teachers doing incredible karate moves and it ends with her defeating all of them with a stick. Wendy is ready to celebrate with Shen's first capuccino. Also, we noticed that Wendy's grandma was secretly watching on and she of course is very happy and very proud. And then Shen's phone rings with some very good news. Her friend Lisa is on the voting committee and Wendy has one homecoming queen. This gives Wendy an

idea. What if Shen is her date to the dance? But he says he can't go. He already has a date with

is furious. Why did Shen hide this from her? Of course, she gives up homecoming immediately to save the world. Nope. That's not what happens. And over at the museum, Jessica, remember Jessica, who was the Jessica evil nemesis, has turned into the Lord of Darkness to awaken the stone soldiers. These are the soldiers that were sent by China for that Chinese cultural exhibit that her mother is in charge of and knows nothing about. Then, of course, the use of security

at the house is to me. Exactly. What did, did you just get this job? You're a museum curator. You're also Chinese. The useless security guard who does not lock doors thinks it's just a stomach rumbling from indigestion at first, then runs away when he sees the building army. At home, Wendy is getting ready for homecoming when her grandmother offers her her family, Erlume, robe for the upcoming battle. But Wendy explains she's not going to go to battle.

She's always wanted to be homecoming queen, not a warrior. And her grandmother says,

“"Are you kidding me? You have to go save the world. Not go to some dumb dance at your high school."”

Nope. Not what says. Her grandmother actually says she respects her decision and then leaves. Back at the museum, Shen is arrived to confront Jessica in the soldiers. He's ready for battle, but quickly learns this army is too much for him. We get some more really great kung-fu fighting scenes before we see Wendy leave for the dance. She reminds her mom and dad to arrive before half time because that's when she'll be crowned. And so I'm confused. Again, having not been in

high school for 42 years and also never being there for the senior year. It's a homecoming game, right? So you have a game. And then it has that time. The homecoming court is crowned and then there's a dance. So typically, of course, I'm just judging off of my experience now. What I see with the team that I coach and the high schools that surround my area, homecoming game is usually on the Friday before the dance. Homecoming assembly, like they usually have like a

“pet rally during the school day, where the king gets announced and then at homecoming,”

the the half-time show is when they announce the queen. But the dance is like- And then there's a dance. That's for it day. Okay. All right. The game starts at, but unfortunately the dance can't start at 10. The dance is like a different day. It's the Saturday after. So this right here, Disney, you know. Yeah, they're trying to put it all the same. I got to, like, somewhat do it all together, but like to say like, so the thing is to parents are not the dance. So like, they get if your kids

on the court, they get to be there. The dad usually walks them and has it. Oh, that's right. So the parents get to be a part of it, but like the dance, they're not there. I wasn't there for any of that. Either way. Anyway. Oh, what? Either way. I know it. No, no, no, I wouldn't have. I can promise you that. Either way, when she opens door to leave, the possessed teachers are waiting for her. They're still the monks and have a message the

“hour of evil as arrives. She appreciates their confidence, but she's sorry. She has a date with her”

TR. Yes, she's going to let us all die so she can become homecoming queen in high school. But when she finds out Shen is already in battle alone, she knows she has to do something. Back at the museum, the awesome fight scene rages on Jessica Slamp Shen into a box that explodes with what I can only imagine were white Christmas lights and firecrackers. He's still able to fend them off and he's doing it. It really is good. It's good fight scenes, but Jessica and more specifically the stunt

person wearing a blonde wig clearly has to be up her hand. That way. And pause it. It's fun. I know.

Now thrown to the ground, the soldier surround Shen. He is finally trapped. And just as Jessica

announces that evil is victorious, the teachers arrive now calling themselves the leopard, the snake, the crane, and the tiger. And the final element storms in. It's Wendy as the Yen warrior. It's still in her homecoming dress. She's shocked to see the final face of Yen low is Jessica, but springs into action. She tends to an injury. She tends to an injured Shen as the teachers fight the army. Once Shen is taken care of, Wendy and Jessica go to battle with the movie's best

fight sequence so far. And just as Wendy looks outmatched, the final piece of the puzzle arrives. It's Wendy's grandmother with the robe, the heirloom. So of course, she stops mid-fight to change. And now she comes back. And now she's ready. Help. Time out. Time out. I've got to put on a different outfit. The rumble get in the evils like you got it. You've got five minutes. Yeah, take a breath. What do you guys do? What's everybody up to? Take a moment. It's just take a take a

second and let her change. The rumble continues in the teachers are starting to defeat the soldiers

for good, turning them back into little rocks. We get an insane move here where Wendy hangs herself sideways off a tall shelf and Jessica jumps up to kick her. And if you pause the movie during this fight, really at any point, you'll see an Asian man wearing a wig fight. But again, like you at this

how you can? Yes, I did. Did you know it? I just blew it a minute. Oh, okay. You know, Steve, I don't know. I was like, what? Wendy was a freaking street fighter. Why do we talk about this earlier? Like, she full on throws a fireball like riot. Hi, you can. And I just want to turn to do the, oh, god, it was so cool. And yeah, throws it so neat at Jessica to final move. It surrounds her body and reveals the true glowing spirit of Yang Lowe, he quickly disappears and Jessica returns to reality.

Everyone on Wendy's team, including a still living shin, bow and respect. Wendy tells Jessica,

“she's found something more important than winning homecoming queen and tells her to hurry up,”

it's her crown to win. So Jessica leaves. Everyone celebrates the big win. But just as they're leaving, a stone soldier recovers and becomes the almighty Yang Lowe himself. Shen might not be safe after all. Yang Lowe quickly takes care of the teachers without even breaking a sweat and Shen reveals

this is the first time that Yang Lowe has actually shown up to fight. So without an enology,

what to do, they're thrown to the side with every attack. Yang Lowe now holds Shen by the neck to steal his spirit. And Wendy screams let him go. But Shen reminds her this is his destiny. But Wendy's grandmother still has hope. She tells Wendy to show Yang Lowe everything she's learned. And with that, Wendy locks in. She begins to calmly glow and levitate, then shoots lasers at Yang Lowe. He screams in pain and has thrown backwards into another box filled

“with Christmas lights and firecrackers. Wendy catches Shen midfall, saving him from a terrible”

backache. But Shen is unresponsive. And Yang Lowe has somehow recovered and stomping towards the cousin couple. He demands that Shen die when he tries her hardest, but she can't save him. But she once again focuses her energy to his chest. And eventually we hear a heartbeat. Shen opens his eyes and returns to the fight, teaming up with Wendy for a dual kick, killing Yang Lowe once and for home. Wendy has officially changed destiny.

The teacher monks are thrilled that Yang Lowe is defeated and dead for they think ever, and acknowledge that something bigger than tradition has just happened. The monks announced that this will be Shen's final life. They encourage him to live it well

and stay in California, where he's just unfortunately out of nowhere for the first time is life being

taxed to the hill. Gas is expensive. He's like, this is crazy. He's like, I'm out of California. Forget that. With that, the monks ascend from their teacher's bodies, leaving everyone very confused, but grandma invites everyone over for mooncakes and just like that, it's party time. But instead of mooncakes, Shen wants something a little less ancient Chinese and a little more. Well, Italian American, I guess. He wants a cappuccino.

The possible lovers who are also maybe now cousins, but don't really know and now awkwardly Newx who explained to the entire school how they're not really cousins, run off together, and that's our movie. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guild season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumprite became the victim of a random crime.

He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termine Hudson as the perpetrator. Termine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real.

Oh Sabrina, let's do some real reviews. Okay, you get the five star this week. I do. I got the five star and it is by our old friend, Unom it is back. And his review or her review are their review read as such. It's kind of a Disney version of Kill Bill, but you know with no blood, but it's a fresh new and interesting idea for a Disney channel film. Five stars. Don't disagree. Don't disagree. What do you got Sabrina? I don't like this review. I don't like it. It's a one star

from Yackie seven. Giggling at just the name. I know. Oh, a rare double threat. The movie ends with both racism and misogyny. One star. Love it. Thank you, Yackie seven. Yes. I disagree, frankly.

And yeah. There was some racism in the movie. That's the honest, especially what's their misogyny?

I mean, I thought it was kind of girl empowering. Wasn't it? I didn't see any misogyny. I definitely saw some racist ends. Yes. Well, and I think that that's it's, you know, again, Disney taking on something, taking on a culture. You're going to get those outsider looks into, you know, things that you play into, especially when, you know,

“you have to kind of keep it lighthearted and things that people. I mean,”

I didn't see it as terrible as though somebody who was sensitive to that probably would see things a little bit harsher. Yeah. I mean, the thing with like we're going to write, we're going to write vote for you on top six was like that. I mean, but in 2006 isn't how it reads. That's what I was saying. It's a different time. It's different. Exactly. You know, I don't know when this is 20 years old. 20 years old. Yeah. And 20 years from now, we are doing something or saying something that is

completely and totally normal and legitimize now. That's going to be horrifying 20 year 20 years. Yes. Just the way that just the way it works. I don't know how it works as a culture. Somebody, please chime in. Like when I think of like the one of my, I love the song, I mainly just because it's got such like a like a beat, but like the everybody was kung fu fighting. Like is that is that now something that like, if you start kind of probably if you dissect it? It's just for the

time. But as the time, that's like a, that's a jam. That's, that's a bot. Like right? But I love

“that song. I think it's got such like a like bounce to it, the beat, everything. But like again,”

now we are needing to look into more of how it's coming across and who it affects. You're right? Yeah. We also need to take things for the time that they were put out there. Yes. And this is 20 years ago. So we've got to be okay with that. Right. But you know what we don't want to be okay with is constantly losing our feature game, which is your favorite part of the program. And this week, who do we have with us this week? Who we playing with this week?

You have Michaela. Michaela, here we go. And then the same as Michaela. Oh, it sounds a little bit like like your name here, because the feature this week is McCall, McCall, not Micha. McCall, yay. Or McCall,

No, nothing whatsoever. Nothing whatsoever. Thank you for your suggestions. So yes, to to celebrate

a great performance from Disneyland. And Brenda Song, we wanted to play a game that centers around the man who can call her his better half. McCall, he called you. You lucky bastard. We're going to be given a possible fact about the home loan star. And we have to decide if they are true or false by calling them McCall, yay. Or McCall, no, McCall. And I'm just gonna think, this is terrible.

“3 out of 5 correct ones wins. Number one, McCall, he called and got married at age 17. He did, right?”

Not to her, but didn't he have one marriage at like 17? I'm going to say McCall, yay. I'm going to say McCall, yay, too. True. You guys are correct. And number two, he was in a rock band called the pizza underground, taking songs by the velvet underground and remixing them with lyrics about pizza. McCall, no. I'm going to say McCall, no, too, but this is going to be another one of those for all these are right. McCall, no. It's true. It's it. Oh, God, it is. They're all going to be true.

Again, he's going to do it to us again. Okay. Number three, he once sold Val Kilmer a rare $20,000 Nintendo game. I'm going to say yes. McCall, yay. Bulse. Oh, it was okay. 18. That's probably

finally. All right. Number four, his godfather is legendary New York pop artist Andy Warhol.

Was he alive? Andy Warhol died in 86. So I guess Mac would have been alive then. Mac. McCall,

“it's what people call this Mac. Do you call him Mac? Did he tell you to call him Mac?”

Everyone calls him. Oh, I didn't know that. I worked with his brother. I did a did a show with with his brother. Oh, my gosh. Did go fish on NBC with Kieran. I'm a same. McCall, no. McCall, yay. Sabrina's right, false. Okay. You, thank, kind of thank God for that one. And number five, McCall, he bought Marilyn Manson his first pack of cigarettes. We haven't had a yay in a while. McCall, yay. That seems wild. McCall, yay, I guess. It's true. Wow. So Sabrina won and I think I lost.

Unbelievable. Can we do a Sabrina series, please? All right, Sabrina sees. There's not much that I saw that was imperfect. I loved it. Everything was perfect. It was perfect. The Hoco comment from the coach threw me off a little bit. Like it felt like the the in general and again, like you said with the fighting in general, the like adult child contact or respect level. And just the like the you're a kid and I'm an adult, like that whole

like thing throughout the movie. That was very off to me. Like the coach, I can't I just was,

“I just wrote down comment and I'm trying I wish I think I thought I was going to remember it,”

but it was like something about Hoco and it was like the Hoco and bought and it was just like it was weird that an adult would say that to a kid. Like there was a lot of things that kind of and then when they morph in and now they're fighting and it makes more sense for her to fight these like adult, like the dynamics were very strange. Yeah, it was throughout the movie to me. They just kind of kept hitting me going like. That seemed right. That happened quite a bit. The locked door.

It was my number one. Yeah, lock the door. Not locking doors. Then that having unlocked the door. You didn't lock again. I talked about the like getting triggered by like stranger danger. It did. I was wrong when I was talking about it earlier. It didn't end up in that scene, but like the initial aspect of like not freaking out. It was like, "What are you doing?" Instead of being like, "Get out of my house!" I got out of my house. That really hit me. There was the hero song.

The movie had some very significant. This wasn't discussed at all, but the songs that were throughout this movie were just some of them were weird. But it was after the time that the channel had the ability and the the reach for great producers and this movie could have had some epic. Like the score of this movie could have been so much bigger and that was a little bit of a, people sometimes don't know how expensive music can be. That's a good point. So if you've got a

$5 million budget and you're already shooting in Auckland, New Zealand, they might have just not had the

money. Yeah, that's a good thing. But I would say they'll like the reach that the channel,

of Camp Rock. Like you've got producers at your fingertips. It was strange to me that like, I mean, that it wasn't a better score, but you're right. You do have to make choices when you're doing budgets. The H of these kids was a little like the driver scene. The driving scene when the three of them were in, by the way, did you like that car? I was like, oh, I would have felt like that car. Was it a good car? Because it was like, yeah, the powder blue. That's one of the

car, the convertible version of that car is one of the first cars I learned how to drive in a 67 must. Oh, my gosh. It's a beautiful car. Beautiful. I think that's the one there. And I think it was like 67. Yeah. He's talking about this car as a beautiful car. It's a beautiful car. It's a great classic American muscle. 67. I'm not saying no. Did they love it? One of my brothers first car. No way. It was 16 at same color, too, but it was a good one. Did your parents buy your brother that car?

No, my parents always did the same thing with us where for anything big like that, we had to earn

half and they would match. Okay. That's my brother. My brother earned money to buy this. It was beat on,

“but it was, he loved it. So he had a 67. Actually, I think this was technically the only thing”

in this car. Oh, yeah. The one was gorgeous. Yes, they're stunning. They're stunning. Yeah. This is what's a must-have. Yes. So, Gordon. Okay. So this car, to me, for this age of a driver didn't match up either. Give me a minute. Okay. Okay. And then at the end, what do we think his age was? I thought he was in his early '50s. No, I would have said he's supposed to be playing 20, 19, two old for a high school girl. Yes. But they don't do anything. They don't

do anything. They don't never do anything. Don't you think it was like leaned in on at the end

that they're like now kind of like an actual couple? Yes. I think also maybe what they were trying to do with the very opening scene of him fighting all the other guys and I'm putting his love. Putting the thing over. No, no, no. Because he's, and he's like, he put the thing over the other monks head and they were kind of playing is maybe showing that he's younger than we think. Yes. Like he still has that kind of vibe. So maybe he's supposed to be the equivalent of high school

too. He just never got to experience high school. But he's clearly the actor is clearly like it is 20s at the time. Yes. Yeah. And it reads that way. Like he reads the way he holds to have a love interest in this little girl. And notice, she's the one who does the love interest stuff.

He never even gives her a moment of seeing like he's interested. Not a moment. No. Yeah. No.

But she is googly eyed. Yeah. But that makes sense out there. There are a lot of 16, 70 year old girls that are googly eyed over 2021. Yeah. But I would like for the channel to not lean into such things. Well, I like that they didn't get the guy didn't do anything. No. But I also again, the end is the only part for me that I was like, oh, like it was like it felt a little okay. We're really kind of leaning a little bit too much. However, the end 100% I know we talked

about this at the front of the show. But the end alluded to there being an next chapter to this story.

“That's why I will apparently there was supposed to be one. And then it just disappeared.”

Love to do more research. We need to we need to get somebody from the movie to tell us the realness. Oh, that's how you recognize him. Shinko Yamada was also in the Disney channel games. Oh, yes. No, I, yes. No, the, I guess. And he was, he was, yes. He was. He was. He was. And this was around that that would the Disney channel games was the same era, right? Yeah. Okay. No, you were all talking about the dad. The dad. But I don't remember where I found him.

I remember him from. But he wasn't the karate kid. No, it wasn't. But the whole cast by the way, super good looking. We didn't even talk about how he looked. He's cast was. The grandma was gorgeous. Yeah, gorgeous woman. Like everyone was so pretty in this movie. Even the, even the, um, you know, the arch nemesis loved everyone. I thought they were great. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that was my last one. The gender was questionable to me.

“Luckily, he didn't do anything. He was on what do he was. He was on the green team. I think, and oh,”

we could go in. Oh, shit. Like, oh, of course. It's so much talent. See, there you go. Great. Can we please rank our film? And I'm not even going to mess around that today. We're going to, we're going to go from one to 10 straight forward. One's going to be the lowest. 10 is going to be the highest. I don't have time. I don't have time. I don't have time. I can't, yeah, can't mess around. Our options this week, one out of 10 deadly Venoms, one out of 10 unpackaged

items from FedEx, one out of 10 bad security guards, sealing shens, one out of 10 egotistical self

dance half times, one out of 10 Christmas lights and firecracker boxes, or my favorite, one out of

10 kissing cousins, which one you're trying to pick? One out of 10 locked up door. There you go.

“That well, you've just picked it. There you go, Sabrina. So I believe,”

is it? I go for it. I think it's your turn. Yes. It's my turn. Okay. So I like this movie. Again, I had problems with it. Certain things were weird and made no sense, but you're going to have problems with every movie. But the idea of putting the mystical kind of background to it and the whole history behind everything, the great wirework martial arts, big fan of that stuff, still had the high school

thing. I really like this movie. I just like you. I also am realizing that I can determine whether

I like a movie by the fact that I can just sit there and watch the whole thing without having to pause it, walk out of the room, look at my phone, do other things. I can just sit there and watch the movie. And I could just sit there and watch this movie. Yes. So I'm going to give this and I think this is a pretty solid score. I'm going to give this an eight locked up doors for this film.

“And I think it's deserved. I think it was, I think this was a fun movie all the way around.”

So I enjoyed it. Yes. I am up there right there with you. Like I said, I was like hook line

singer from the get. Like I loved it. I was so happy. I didn't really, I guess. I mean,

obviously, somewhat have an idea of maybe what the movie will be, but I had no idea it was this good. I thought it was so great. I love Brenda Song. I love everything she does. The Queen, the Queen reigns. She just, she just lives to just do the best work for the channel. And I thought it was a great movie. There's of course some funny silly things that just are ridiculous. But I was there for it. I thought it was great for a kid movie to be back good

with the animation, like the, not animation, the special effects. All of that. I thought it was great. I'm giving it a nine. Rock the door. I love, I've got, I love that. Well, thank you everybody for joining us. Go check this movie out. It was definitely worth it. So thanks, everybody. Don't forget to join us. Next time you can follow us at magical rewind pod on the Instagram machine. And I'd also very much like to start some sort of petition or something. So we can absolutely

tell Sabrina that cookies and pastries are two completely different things. Like it's like apples and pastries to completely different things. But that doesn't, you could get super to bakery. That doesn't, doesn't necessarily make it, you know, a pastry. I can't. So anything in that window to you is pastry. I mean, it would be fine with a being called pastry. So an Oreo cookie is pastry. Here is a problem. Well, it's you.

There's cookies. It's a pastry. Oh, my god, that's he wrong. Well, it's you. Normally everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but your opinions are just wrong. Oh, my. All right. Well, we'll see everybody next time and please send all of your letters telling Sabrina why she's absolutely wrong to magical rewind pod at the Instagram machine. Thanks everybody. They actually message good. Keep it up or they're, or that they're with me. Bye. Love you guys.
