the call. We've answered the greatest call of the wild that has ever been. And yes, is it via acapella. Jackie and MJ, what do you mean you haven't seen pitch perfect? Oh, okay. We have a network break coming up. I guess we'll have to watch pitch perfect as a watch a lot. Are we watching it first thing in the morning and both sober as church mice? Unfortunately, yes, we are. Now we are. Sober acabella in the morning, man. This is what acapella is all about, MJ. Like, I feel like as a choir person now, I feel like I can really, you know, I can share

the spirit just for this morning. But MJ, you're going to have to get your own song pretty soon. Listen, I forgot that you will be able to view this movie through the lens of a choir person now. Thank you. And I'm going to be viewing it through the lens of somebody who has secretly enjoyed. Acapella, even when everybody hates it and has always hated it. And you know I love it. And honestly, I feel like it's one of those first things that really connected us, MJ, because I was such a horrific, like, I had such a stick up my ass of trying to be like a bad girl. But also, secretly, I was listening to Racapella all the time. And I would go see Racapella concerts. And I just love the power of song. You know we have Pentatonics.

Well, he's love the word. Is love the word. I'm affected by pentatonic. We have emotional reactions to pentatonic. We have emotional reactions. It's not our fault. It's chemical. It's not our fault.

I wish I didn't. But, you know, this is where we're at. But honestly, guys, if you're listening to this, we're all in this together. All in this is also your first. Wrong movie. Oh, MJ. Whoa. Love this.

All right. But we're getting into the. a song spirit and I am excited. I will throw it out there. Rebel Wilson does really annoy me. Yeah, Jackie's already pissed off about Rebel Wilson being in this movie. So we're talking 2012. We're watching the original pitch perfect. I know there's been like the 25, but we are watching the first one. It is on Amazon Prime. If you would like to watch it with us, give this podcast a pause and go join us on Amazon Prime. But, you know, also if you don't want to do that, that's all right too. Hopefully you'll have a good time. listening to me and Jackie react to Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick.

Because I did rent it, but I'm going to throw it out there. Maybe a lot of you guys have it on DVD. Maybe you own it. And I would love it if you did. And maybe you just bring it out, dust it off. Remember how to use your DVD player? I know I have one. I don't know how to set it up.

Yeah. No, we all have our stash of DVDs for like when the apocalypse comes and there's no internet. And pitch perfect, probably highly represented amongst the apocalypse DVDs. What am I going to do with all the skill? I feel like that's what my post-apocalyptic life is going to be, just Gilmore girls. That'll be nice. I guess. I mean, I've seen it a bunch.

But all right, guys, we're jumping in. Okay. I'm going to give it a three, two, one, start. And you're going to hit play when I start the word start. All right. So it's three, two, one, start. And then right at the beginning. But that wasn't it.

That was a fake out. This is going to be the real one. And again, it is just OG pitch perfect 2012. We are starting in three, two, one. Start. Now this movie is an hour 52 and we, you know, we don't talk. Piracy is not a victimist crime, MJ, and I'm upset that you were talking over that. Sorry, I need to honor.

Because I wanted you to read that. Piracy is not a victimless crime. I need to honor the piracy warning. It starts. It starts. So you don't have. This is funny. This is funny.

I like that it's. That's funny. You know how it is with our watchalong podcast episodes, guys? We try to pay attention to the movie, but we also chat a lot. So if you hear some silence, it's because something very rapt is happening and we're captivated. Whoa. Oh, it's Calvin from Righteous Gemstones. Yes.

He is very funny. He's great. I enjoy it. Oh, my God. He's so young. Oh, my God. He is so young. Also, like, of course.

the character from Righteous Gemstones would also do Acapella, so it totally works. Yeah. Honestly, this is probably where he started. Totally. Oh, my God. I love an Elizabeth Banks. There was an Acapella, there was two Acapella groups at my college, and everybody mocked them, but I enjoyed them. Ha.

Nothing makes me feel like a girl more than a man that sings like a boy, is what Elizabeth Banks just said, and I enjoy it. I mean, you have to be very very very much. very gifted at singing to do a cappella. I know. Listen, you're going to hear a lot of acapella apologia today. All right, guys, get ready. Jackie and I're going to be impressed. I'm already impressed. I'm already like, I love this. Yeah. Ooh, okay, we're flying away. Yeah, I have always thought that the acapella hatred is like a little performative, but also people really feel it very strongly. So maybe it's just like cilantro. You're right.

It's soap to some people. Acapella, that is. I'd rather eat soap than listen to Acapella. Oh my God, remember when Britney Snow was everywhere? Yes. I loved Britney Snow. What was that, like, set in the 50s television show that she was on? I was obsessed with it.

It's gone now. She was on the dancing show. I don't know what you're talking about. That's all I got. Can never. member and I'll, I'm going to look it up. Now, this is going to be a blast from the past because 2012 at this point was quite a long time ago. And as Jackie and I were discussing before we started recording, it was not as old fashioned as

the 2009 holiday and handcuffs era, but certainly before the kind of great wokening of the discourse. Especially with Rebel Wilson. Especially with Rebel Wilson. Part of my upset is really not about necessarily Rebel Wilson. It's just the pigeonhole of the plus-sized woman and it was like the only way oh thank god we found a use for disgustly yes right right to always be the butt of the joke and i'm saying this as someone that lived into that you know right but uh now looking back it's a little upset yeah yeah yeah i mean also you deal with all the casting

calls that are like rebel wilson type and that's no fun fatty disgusto number three yeah that's uh i read i've read for it three times in dreams is the television show I was thinking of. Okay. The Bellas are singing. All right, the Bellas. Ooh. I love it.

Oh, no. I love it. I love it already. Oh, no. It's an ace of bass acapella. Okay. Oh, no. Pitch perfect.

Am I going to enjoy this deeply? The sign is a flawless song in every form, including acapella. I'm just mouth agape. just like I Elizabeth Banks How dare you

Elizabeth Banks This is not snooze- I'm not I mean I guess they need a little bit more action But it's a uh-oh Oh this wow Up top is the puke scene Projectile vomiting

I remember you heard of this I've heard of this yes This is on a lot of lists This puke scene And I don't know why I thought the puke scene Was going to be at the end Again rebel Wilson I did call. I was like, oh, I had a poo.

I can't believe it wasn't Rebel Wilson. Yeah, it was a hot girl. Oh, my coveting for me. I shouldn't. Jackie's disdain for Rebel Wilson is going to sustain me throughout this film. I shouldn't. It's really just what society didger. That's the thing.

It's society. It's not her. And honestly, I think there's something similar going on with Anna Kendrick. Well, Anna Kendrick, yeah. Because she's not like the other girls, but like you have to be not like the other girls if you are not, if you don't look like the other girl. You know, it's like actresses get shunned into this. She's so beautiful. She's so beautiful.

But it's like, oh, she's a little pointy. So she has to be wacky. Right. And not fair for her. Not fair for her. Some of us are pointy. Yeah, man. I'm Doey.

You're pointy. And together, I guess we work. And we're accepted here. That's what page seven's all about. Everyone is accepted here, even the acapella groups. Yes, especially the acapella groups. I want you to know that if you were in McAllister colleges, male or female acapella group from 2005 to 2008, I really enjoyed you guys.

You wanted to smash, I bet. Oh, my God, but I have been watching the show overcompensating, which makes a lot of jokes about the acapella group on campus. Oh, I've heard of people talk about overcompensating. There's Anna Kendrick. It's great. Yeah. Hey, bitch. Oh, she's not like the other girls you see. She's a little emo.

She's a little emo. Oh, oh, it's a singing boy. I mean, if somebody air guitar's at you, it's definitely charming. We're at college drop-off day. Happy rape whistle. Don't blow it, unless it's actually, yeah. Who wrote, all right, I bet, I know that it is genuinely just a good movie, but who wrote? Yeah, that's the thing.

I trust the page seven audience that sent us this way because they never send us astray. Bet on it, bed on it, bed on it, bed on it, bed on it, bed on it. I mean, that's the only thing I remember from high school musical, that and like the balls scene. We were very upset when we watched high school musical, too, so that's all we remember. Angrily watching high school musical. And then we enjoyed it. We did. We got over the anger.

Oh, me and roommate. Oh, no. No, oh, oh, racist. Oh, God. Yep, all right, here we go. Out the gate. Out the gate. All right.

At the gate. We're making Asian jokes. Okay. Oh, no, it's fucking Evan Hansen. Oh, no, Evan Hanson's in this. Oh, no, I've stared at his dumb face for so long. Oh, that's old Evan Hanson, like guy who was too old to be Evan Hanson, Evan Hanson? But still was Evan Hanson, yes.

I'd remember that mouth anywhere. Oh, and he's a magician. Oh, my God. It is unfortunately. I mean, Gideon and I went to Vassar a couple years ago for him to speak. That's his alma mater. And there was a sword guy doing sword stuff on the quad. There were jugglers.

And I was like, you know what? I love a LARP. Some liberal arts schools are all the same. They're still doing it. Did you see any hacky sack or? Oh, yeah. There was a hacky sack circle for sure. Oh, yeah.

Oh, talk to. Oh, he's a teacher. Okay, so Anna Kendrick's dad teaches at the college she is going to. Ooh, she's mad at daddy. Uh-oh, step monster. Daddy's married to somebody else who's not mommy. I'm going to guess she's so upset. I'm going to guess dead mommy?

Oh. Well, who dropped up the eyeliner. Usually eyeliner gives dead mommy. I'm just throwing that out there. I'll bet that it's divorce, mommy. Okay, divorce mommy. Hence the anger. Yeah.

Say that to Paris Hilton. Okay, so she's a wannabe DJ. Oh, and I bet she's not going to appreciate Acapella the way the other girls do. Oh, she's not like the other Acapella girls. She wants to produce music. All right, I'm on board. It is kind of fun because I am actually currently watching overcompensating, so it's fun to watch a current college show versus a a 13-year-old college show.

Oh my God, his face. I just, that YouTube that I watched making fun of dear Evan Hansen for like three hours, I just looked at his face so much. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is... The actor who plays Kelvin is so perfect.

This is his name. Adam Devine. Adam DeVine. Yes, thank you. The perfect face of the lead of a college a cappella group. He's... And everything I've heard,

about every person that I know that knows him is he is just an absolute delight. Just exactly just a nice guy. Oh, that's great. I'm so glad. Just a nice, funny guy. Oh, I'm so glad. This is, I already, his presence here is already making me enjoy the film tenfold. And honestly, personally, the fact that Evan Hanson is a magician really also does a lot for me and not in that way.

Okay. The girls' acopalate. She's lactating. She's lactating. The girls' Acapella team is, their reputation is struggling. If they changed it from Bella's to just bitches singing, I bet they would get more people. I'm going to pitch that to the choir this fall. Bitches singing, yeah.

Yeah, just call it bitches singing. I know it's not all like women, but bitches goes above and beyond gender. Oh, here's Rebel Wilson. And then she zips her. skin off. Because the thing is, is Rebel Wilson what I, she's actually fun.

She is funny. She is very funny. She's very funny. That's the thing. And I think that's why it, that's where it comes from is of just like a, that's it. And then, you know, and her name is fat. Fat, I need to get over it.

I'll get over it. It's okay. You can process. I'm not like offended. It's just more of the fact that like, I just, it's just rough. It's just rough for a while. Yeah.

No, this is a complicated thing. I think it's all right for you to process your feelings about a character called Fat Amy. Who is the butt of all the jokes, specifically because of her fatness. Essentially, because this came out in 2012. So I was, like, in New York, like mid-20s. Like, I didn't give a fuck about any of this. Especially hearing about this, it made me even more angry, which is also part of the reason why I never more. Totally. And you get the like, oh, you're just like Rebel Wilson thing. And it's like, that's really annoying. Oh, because I'm fat? Just because I'm, yeah. Yeah. And, you know, it's like, Rebel Wilson's in charge of her own career, but also like it sucks that this is the only option for somebody who's that size, you know? Well, not anymore. Right. Oh, I meant for her because she lost all the rules. Right, right. It doesn't really affect her life anymore. But now she's playing the same characters. It's just now, it's, it's.

like, girl, hopefully you would be given an opportunity to do something else if she wants. Maybe she doesn't want to you. Maybe she just likes to do that. Yeah. You know, go for them. I think we just missed a weird conversation about the college Jewish club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was clocking it and I just kept it going.

Keep it moving. Keep it moving. There's so many a cappella groups in this college. Literally, really did have, it was called the org fair, and you would walk around and see all the orgs. And we did have, we had a co-ed group, a girls. group, a boy's group, yeah. But it's nice. It's nice for the kids to have their activities. Was it? I was in Murderfish, so I'd walk around and just be like, I don't need any of this clothes. My older brother started to sketch comedy group, so I don't need anybody.

I was like that too, but for our improv group. Brittany Snow, you look like a goddamn, like, doll. I know. Doesn't she? Beautiful girl. Beautiful girl. That's how you know you're getting old. Beautiful girl.

What is she a show pony, Jackie? Yeah. Damn it. Pitch perfect. Don't make me like Evan Hanson. I know. I'm so afraid of how much I'm going to love both this movie and all the people in it. I have a, you know, reputation to myself to maintain, which is being annoyed by stuff.

like this and I'm going to love it. What is, okay, that, that boy, the other boy, I'm assuming he's supposed to be the cute one, right? I guess so. Non-threatening. Yeah. But honestly, he just looks like, what's that stand-up comedian that, like,

is Dayton the 19-year-old and he's really, really annoying? Oh. He was really big for a long time. Dane Cook. He looks like Dane Cook. Doesn't he kind of give Dane Cook? Yes, but significantly less awful, significantly less awful than Dane Cook.

All right, I'm a little disappointed that it is real music playing and not that all of this soundtrack is Acapella, but I'll accept it. Yeah, the soundtrack should be Acapella. Don't worry. I don't think we've heard the last of Acapella in this movie. Oh, my God, it looks like Giles' store. Oh, it does. The Magic Books.

The college radio station. Oh, my God. I hung with the college radio, man, love hanging with the college radio people. Yeah. Do a lot of drugs with the college radio people. Yeah. I'd go into their studios all night long and it would just be fun. You know, here's the thing about college orgs, if you have not done this, is that you can just get the college to give you a bunch of money to do whatever you want.

You just submit a budget. It's freaking awesome. Man, I learned that real early with all our boys. Boys and Glorals, because I used to write a bunch of grants. And then I was like, you know, you could just like write a grant. You mean like get a grant, right? And I made a bunch of money in college. You know, if I could apply that to my now life, it'd probably help.

Yeah, I don't know how many. No one wants to give anything to a 37-year-old, you know? I don't know how many grants are left for us at this point. Give it to me. Why? Because I want it. Because I'm starting choir government and I'd like you to subsidize. I know you're not paying for the Department of Education anymore,

but like, could you pay for my choir? Why did he just ask if your dad's a taxi driver? Oh, she took a cab. I see. And she is here to do her music, which is her passion. Yeah, she's a DJ. She's not like the other girls. She's all that reference.

I hear you. I see you. Whoa. He is, he would have, like, if I had seen this in when I was like 15 or 16, that non-threatening man would be exactly my time. For sure. For sure. Oh my God, she's mashing. She's mashing.

This is also in the era of Girl Talk, you know, I was obsessed, obsessed. Bro, I still listen to Girl Talk, too. There's still very famous songs where my main reference is Girl Talk, not the original. Yeah. She's not like the other cow. She mashes the music. Bitch, you are enthralled by the power of song. Daddy, get out of my room.

Out of my room, always wearing the same thing, Daddy. Got to go to class. This is my most unpopular opinion is if you're at college, don't skip class. You're paying a lot of money to be there. Go to class. Whoa. I know. Controversial and a lot of people don't agree.

But I am going to say. Say that to the bowling class I failed. Go to class. All you had to do was show up, and I just did. What a waste. Yeah, get your stick out of your ass, Hannah Kendrick. Ugh. Oh.

Got to edit that, edit that P-D-D-D-E reference into something else. I hope you don't want to go to L.A. and be like, pay-d-D-D-D-E. Overdub it, like, when you used to put movies on, you know, TV. Still want to go to L.A. and be like, Sylvester Stallone. Out in L.A.? I haven't not match at all. You're like, Lizzo?

Uh-oh, they're going to hear, oh my God. Oh, she's going to sing. Are they all going to sing together? They're going to sing bulletproof together. Yes. Oh, my God, they are. In the shower stalls. Don't look at me, MJ.

Don't look at me while I watch this. Oh, you know, it's going to be good. This is weirdly. Creep. Creep. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Man, it is crazy to think that we lived for years with communal showers. Yeah.

Really with the shower shoes and everything? Although people don't really open up your curtain the way they show it on media. No, thankfully, this, I never had a fully naked conversation with anyone else. I've had towel conversations with many, many bitches, but. But there is always that one bitch who's just like, I'll be naked in front of everybody. I don't care. Oh, yeah. Oh my God, but she's not like the other girls, M.G. What is she going to do?

She's just with the Bella's need to get their mojo back after the puking incident, Jackie. Oh my God, the connection of song. Oh, no, am I going to listen to this song over and over again later today? Yeah, no, Titanio. Oh, titanium. But yeah, but it is because Bulletproof, I feel like Bulletproof is up there with Titan. them as one of those songs that I can listen to on repeat and just like cry to myself. For sure. Girl, you know, I don't know if anyone told Anna Kendrick that she can take her makeup off before she gets the shower if she wants to.

Or is she just going to... I mean, she was mid-shower, but I feel like she wasn't going to get that. Yeah, no, you need to, you need a wipe for that. You need to take it off. Oh, my God. You know how I feel about Kelly. Oh, and Mr. Superbad. Yeah, that's what I'm calling him.

Mr. Superbad will not look up what his name is. good for him. I didn't know he was in other movies besides Superbad. Yeah, I don't know if I've thought about him since. I watch Superbad on planes, though, fairly often. Superbad's a great movie, if I remember correctly. McLevin holds up. I mean, not all of it holds up, because, you know, it still was at this point, what, 15 years ago? There's got to be some rough jokes in there, but oh my God, is she just like the girl with the ribbon around her neck and she's going to take her And then her head's going to fall off? I hope her head falls off at the finals.

Tell him, bitch. Look at that hair flip. That ain't natural. All right, are we about to have like a little montage of song? I hope we are. Ooh. Ooh. Uh-oh.

I already have a weird gender joke. Yeah. Evan Hanson with this dumb mouth. We're getting a montage, Jackie. I knew it was going to be a. Yeah. bitch. Gales like a fish.

Don't tell Tom Cruise. We were still in the air of kind of like random L-O-L jokes, you know? Rana. Holden would be infuriated by this movie. Oh, yeah. Or would he love it? Maybe.

He does love musicals. Yeah. I don't know if he would love this. You're right. He does love musicals. He loved high school musical. He was not snooty about it at all. And Sing Street is one of his favorite movies.

Right, right, right. You're right? I think he actually would love this. and just could he tolerate the 2012 jokes? Yeah, I don't know. You know what we do? We tell them to watch it with Winnie. Yes.

Oh, am I not going to have to watch this with my kids? Yes, you are. God damn, you fat Amy. Am I going to love this montage? Yes, I am. Making me smile. Oh, ass bitch. Oh, Dane Cookinson.

Okay. I need to look up Dane Cook's name. I know it's not. Skyler Aston? Oh, he's married to the lead girl of the bella's, the one with the puke. No shit. Married in real life, how cute is that? That is cute.

Oh, how cute is that? Well, I did find out a spoiler just in case if you were wondering, Skylar Aston does not return for Pitch Perfect 3. Wow. Does that change your view about the 20 pitch perfect movies? I don't want to know how many there are after three. Don't that'll be a spoiler for me. I think there's only three.

I think there's only three. But I, in my brain, there's at least 12. I feel like there's so many. Oh my God, she's different. MJ, are you watching this? She's not auditioning the rest, like the rest of the girls. Oh, my God, she's sitting on. Oh, this thing.

Oh, this thing. This thing. I loved this thing. This cup thing. I could do it so fucking fast. I could rip through anybody. Oh, I'm going to have to show this to my kids. And then they'll become,

Freddie will hyper focus on it and she'll learn it. She'll learn it in a day. I mean, honestly, it's, it really, and then you'll know it forever. It's cool. I have always kind of liked this thing. And she's, oh my God. She's also like singing like an old.

song because like, oh my God, she's just like Zoe Dachernal. She is so much like Zoe Dishanelle. Oh my God. So he's married to that girl. That's nice. That's nice. But Anna Kendrick is too uptight to be a manic pixie dream girl, but she's, she's trying. She's trying.

Oh my God. Yes, bitches. Those are my queens. Oh my God. Is this what they're going to do before I enter the choir? I hope so. I am a big fan of rituals and weird. You know, I'm not saying I like hazing, but we, you know, got to have a welcoming ritual.

I'm going to offer up a blood ritual to all the old women in the choir and see if they bite. Like to connect us, guys, guys? I just, I want to just issue a blanket statement that I should have said at the beginning, which is just like I will proceed to embarrass myself throughout this episode by really enjoying everything about this movie and talking a lot about all the dorky things I like to do in college, okay? So you're welcome. I mean, I think that's what we're doing here. That's what we're doing. We're not, no one is too cool in this space. No, not while we're watching bitch perfect. Get your too cool energy out of here and come back when you're ready to embarrass

yourself. We ain't got time for that shit. All right? In 2025, it's like, come on, guys. Oh, they can't get sexy with the men. They just promise. They're not going to get sexy with the men, Acapella people. What is she gonna do? Well, don't worry, Dane Cook will go find someone much younger. This poor actor who isn't Dane Cook is really getting his name dragged to his fake name dragged through the mud. Skyler Aston, I guess.

No, my magic is very nice. I really thought that Rebel Wilson was British. I forgot she was Australian. Australian. I mean, Acha Children is. If someone said Aca Children, to me, I'd be like, all right, let's get out of here. Yeah, fine. Yep, great. If you're an a cappella, do you make any kind of joke? Yeah, I'll try to kiss. Right, right.

Self-awareness is really crucial to the acapella persona. Oh, first drunk with a group of friends. I can't wait for all my choir to go get hammered together. Yeah. See if we can bring some fireball to the, to the rehearsals, you know. Really ruined the whole week for a couple of 60-year-old women. Oh, yeah. Let's see how weird they are about queerness in this movie. Also, yeah, isn't it great? What if we not only could all sing together, but also all kiss?

That sounds great. And I hope you're not saying it in any kind of disparaging fucking way. 2012 is such a weird time. See, because it is Jewish joke. Where it's like not a, yeah, it's not like, explicitly offensive, but it is just kind of like, why are you doing that? There's no need for it. I think that's what it is. It's unnecessary. Well, you don't realize until you go back and watch these old movies of like, there are times when it's like, why was that F slur necessary?

That's the thing. There was no reason for that. Like what? Yeah. What did it do? Right. You know? Right. It was just like, I feel like the, like, the essence on a comedy for a long time. And as much as now, I think we focus on perhaps where there's been over. correction, but also it doesn't mean that there wasn't ever correction needed. Like, what happened? Are they going to kiss? He just said, I think we should kiss. Oh, that's fun.

Sorry, I just didn't expect. That got me excited. I was like, does Fat Amy get to kiss in this? Kiss Calvin. Because usually, I mean, we don't get both. You get funny. And that's usually it. Now, I know we have a lot of pitch perfect super fans in the page seven listenership,

and I hope that we aren't offending anybody with our. you know, our initial takes of this movie. We respect you and your love. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it, too. I'm just thinking, you know, how, like, for a lot of people, Buffy is a sacred text,

and they want us to show our respect. And I just want you guys to know we respect this text if this is a sacred text to you. We are enjoying it. I mean, I'm living this dream right now. So, of course, I love it. But I will be calling him Kelpin throughout the movie because that's just who he is to me. So I apologize.

And I'm not going to apologize for calling the other one Dane Coe. Even though it has nothing to do with him. Wow. Whoa. Dead name. Dixie Jicks. Dixie Jicks. Ha ha ha.

Also, I don't think having someone penetrate you is. is giving them your power. I would say I disagree with that sentence, but that's okay. I disagree, but that is certainly how we were told, how it was talked about to us. Oh yeah. Whoa. What's happening?

Scarf. Scarf! Because she's letting penetration! She's choosing Kiss! Which would be difficult if I was told in the choir that I had to choose Kiss or choir. Why are they all hanging out together and drinking if they didn't want to

bone? Four months and three songs. Four months and the entire college semester. Wow. This actress, we know her from something too. The quiet one. Like, you can be random and just, like, if we just lift

the racism out of it, like random is fine. I'm down with radio. Yes, exactly. Random's fine, but in any movie before 20, I'm going to say, 2014, you just got to be worried there's just going to be some random racist joke for no reason or an F slur.

For me, I remember, I just looked up Hana Mae Lee, and I remember her from the babysitter, but I don't think you've seen the babysitter. I haven't. That is a horror movie. What else do I know her from? But I don't know if maybe she was in a television show. Uh-huh. Yes, Nikki Minaj.

Oh, okay. I miss when Nikki Minaj was a fave. I miss that time. I miss her before she got weird. Yeah. Sometimes people get weird, you know. 2012 was a golden age of pop, though. I will say, I was working at the elementary school during this time, and it was, there was just a lot of great pop music at this time.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Starship's era was a great era. Honestly, us growing up really, I mean, we watched pop really changed. I mean, every generation has watched pop change. I'm not saying. We're not different. But for us, I feel like it made us, like, become more a part of pop specifically because it was so put in our faces.

Yes. And it got good when we were young and then it did, it stayed good. You say, Ray, Ray, Ray. Because it pay, pay, pay. If you would G, you would G, G, G, G. Come in that guy. I meant to fly. It's still a banger.

Oh, my God. I just want to sing. I know. I just want to sing. Oh, I want to sing. I wish I had a singing voice and I could join a. It's a fun dance song. I really blew my middle schoolers minds one time by knowing all the words to the song.

Yeah, hell yeah. They were like, no way, you miss. It's like, yeah, me, miss. Yeah, I used to be cool. Honestly, it will be better in choir, because I don't have to memorize any choreography. It's really the choreography. I just...

Well, I don't have it. Have you joined show choir yet? Because, you know, show choir, sometimes they got moves. Well, that is if I get a solo. Ah. I don't know if I'm going to get a solo. What do you talk? You could do the choreo, Jackie.

You've put on so many live shows. Corio is just acting with your potty. But I didn't get into nonsense, MJ. I didn't get into nonsense because I couldn't memorize the dance. We've got two power ladies. A toner? I got him. I'm going to get a toner at choir?

A toner, a musical boner. Yeah, relax. Damn bitch. Power bitch. Meet another power bitch. Nice. Wow. Also, not to go back to earlier, but when Dane Cook was hitting on

Anna Kendrick earlier, he was going, Beka, Beka! And I would love to be hit on like that if my name was Becca. And I'm just throwing that out there. If your name is Becca, you should really ask to be cacawed at, because maybe you're not into it, but I think it's, I think it's sexy. What is the rating on this movie? I'm just, it's, I know they're trying to be. 81%. And I mean, like, PG-13 are, because I just feel like if you're going to be an Acapella movie, and be too vulgar to show my children, you know. I mean, I guess it's fine to have them hear Anna Kendrick say, that's my dick. But, you know, I'll have to be ready for that conversation. GG 13. G213, interesting. Barnyard explosion?

Aguilarian. Aguilarian. Oh, my God. I feel seen. Oh, my God. My nodes are valid. Oh, God. Girls, sometimes you got nodes and it's okay.

You just keep singing. You just keep singing. it's not just because it's your fault sometimes you're just getting it you're in good company with jackie and rachel ray and mylie cyrus and mylie cyrus and mylie interesting that you say the key is early diagnosis as if they'll do anything uh about it because they won't no they don't do anything no they won't even though you ask them to so many actors i know have had this happen to them and it really just fucks their careers and insurance won't cover it because technically it's not life-threatening or debilitating,

even though you can sing or you use your voice for a living, it's still not. Also, just to, like, live in the world that is helpful to be able to use your voice. You know, just to be able to be effectively heard. Communicate. Whoa, Adam Lambert. Adam Lambert. He also, he looks like a mix between Adam Lambert and Dane Cook.

He just has a really generic Everyman 2012 Everyman guy look. Do you remember Gavin de Groff? I sure do. I don't want to be anything other than want to be in Romney. That's also what he looks like. Remember with stupid little hats? Yeah, I do remember.

I feel like he always wore the little... It wasn't a fedora. Is it a pork pie hat? Like, what was that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa. Oh. Oh, yeah, good flex.

We got two boys. He's like, but I can sing. Two boys like Anna Kendrick, because she's not like the other girls. Okay, I already like this guy better. He's got a beanie, and that's my type. Yeah, and he looks like he probably would ignore her, which at that time was also my type. Also, and he doesn't leave the college radio station because he hates everybody, also my type. My type.

Isn't it great that you, like, I don't know if you have quite as much of the spectrum. but it's like, I just feel like, what I've wanted to fuck has changed so much in my life. Yeah. And like, and I know that it hasn't stopped. And isn't that wonderful? Yeah. No, it's positive. You want to score movies.

Okay. That's nice. Okay. Honestly, I was just talking to my friend about this yesterday that like talking about Kyle McLaughlin and how he gives such amazing, sexy, like, dad vibes, like in such a nice way. But also you want to fuck him. And it's like, no one talks about. this time of life when it starts to get

confusing in your brain where you're like, oh, they would make such a wonderful father. Oh, I also want to fuck the shit out of them. Oh, God, what does that say? Oh, God, do I have to think about that? You know, it's just, it is an interesting time period. Also, why is Santa Kendricking a Capri's son? Don't worry about it.

She's a college student. Because she's zamy. I mean, it's kind of funny. That is funny. I didn't know that. That's a good line It's cute Oh my God

Well maybe you should be drinking water Or not a Capri Cine girl You're gonna get nodes I'm saying this is a person that All I want is coffee But you know you gotta drink water Are we about to have a battle Yes

Give me a rooftop Acapella battle Yes Yes yes Yes Yes Jackie. I can't believe we're sober.

I'm gonna at least. I gotta hit a bowl or something. Like, I got something. If we were drunk, we would be singing much more. Ladies of the 80s. Oh my God. It's an a cappella of. Oh, no.

Yes. We both want to be a part of this. Oh, no. I love that. Oh, my God. Yes, bitch. Lay it down. Oh, that's fun.

Oh, my. MJ, I want to go to a riff off so badly. Except I couldn't compete, really, but I'd want to go just to support, you know? You could compete, Jackie. Don't talk about yourself that way. You know I don't have the clarity because of the nose. Oh, my God. I'm loving it.

Fire away. Oh, yeah. Someone help her support her Oh Excuse me This is an a cappella space We don't make fun Also yeah I'm actively smoking weed right now

Like get over You're gonna tell me that people That do acapella don't smoke weed I mean I guess they wouldn't But I hate they're lame I don't know They were dorkier than the average population But they went

I mean they drank hard And they all fucked each other. They all fucked. That's why, honestly, I think that's the only rule and, like, the only thing about this that, like, I'm like, but they all fucked each other. And that's, it makes, I don't know, my improv group had a, no dilly dallying within the group rule. And it was a good rule. How did that go? For the most part, people. Did you not? Oh my God, Mervis, man. We were real bad about that. Yeah. It was disgusting because my brother was also in the group, but I didn't

have sex with my brother. Yeah. No, I don't think anyone thought you did. Oh. You know, he is very talented. I know. I know, and he is charismatic, too. I want to fuck the DJ.

Sorry. I want to go smoke weed and fuck the DJ. Yeah. I love this movie. I just want to listen to Acapella. Whoa, it's just like you at the middle school. Oh my God. She's not.

Like Hip-hop. None of them have ever heard of hip-hop before? Get out there, people. Yeah. See, this is what I want. MJ, I just want to be able to start, like, being able to just collaborate singfully.

I would trade everything to be able to sing like this. I would give it all up. Or dance, either. Ideally, both. Oh, in both. I mean, oh, Vegas can't be you. I would like to be a double threat. I will give away all my other threats to become that type of double threats.

I'm not even a single threat. I know. How do we have? No threats. No threats. Completely unthreatening. Whatever collection of partial threats I have, I will exchange them for one or the other of the threats of singing. They're not together into a hill of one threat.

You know what I mean? It's like when you have a bunch of different like Play-O leftovers and you just stuff it all into one cup that's left. Oh, come on. Oh, please. That was a technicality. Boro snorro. Now turn it into a bloodbath. I want a battle scene. Yeah, but then it's also an orgy. Yeah, I would also accept an orgy. I am going to make a movie reference that you won't understand, but for the minute group, it's kind of like the end of society, right, guys?

Um, it's not because it's, it's very different than the end of society. I'm just thinking about it's a weird, like, monster orgy of sorts. You guys have to get in sync with each other. They're called the Bella's, MJ, not in sync. Yeah, these are the kind of jokes I'm making after watching pitch perfect. 54 minutes sit and pitch perfect has already infiltrated your brain. Oh, we're bonding. We're bonding over our music production.

She's got a toner for him. My problem is that when I say toner, though, it just makes me think of really expensive print ink that, like, would always, I feel like I've yelled about toners a lot. Oh, yeah. Toner is a big part of my life. I mean, I refused to ever buy a printer ever again after, like, many years ago when I was like, this, I will never buy one again.

But I used to. 2012, man. The year I met Gideon. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we were. We were doing page seven. Page seven. Wow.

After Occupy. Yeah, we were like established in adult life. Well. Quote unquote. Well, seven, we're calling it. Oh, oh, breakfast club. John Nelson. Oh, should we just stop watching pitch perfect to watch breakfast club instead?

Or just watch clips of Judd Nelson being an asshole. How are we? we feeling about this relationship, Jackie. Do we want them to kiss? I do want them to kiss, of course. I especially want them to kiss because I don't really want to kiss either one of them. So I'm happy that they both get kissed. I think that's how I feel too. I'm like, you know what? That's fine. You guys can have each other. Although I will say he makes more sense with that other uptight bitch. I can picture it even clearer, you know, that the one he's married to. IRL. Oh, she wants to kiss you. Oh, you're going to kiss. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

It's a snog fast. Oh my God. Come on. We're watching a movie on the laptop and we're going to kiss. Oh, man. Do you remember these days? Oh, I do you bet I remember those days? In front of a fucking laptop, bro.

Do you want to come back and smoke a bowl and watch something on my laptop in bed? Oh, yeah. Cool. No, I just want to show you. It's a show called Home Videos. Like, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but like, I just feel like it was always like me trying to to be cool, like show and something. Oh, yeah. I was always like, have you ever heard of Mr. show? Which is like a great show, but not a makeout show, you know? Like, it's too good to be a

makeout show. Do you want to come back and watch Stella with me? Oh, man. We watched a lot of Stella. God, life changing. I love Michael Ian Black. My nodes. The nodes. I understand, girl. Hey. Yeah. Notes can have solos too. No. She needs to rest her voice, Jackie. Give it Becca. You should see me in choir, MJ. I'm not myself. I'm not like showing off. Like I don't like volunteer. I'm very meek in choir. I believe it. It's an ensemble and you understand the assignment. I just think it means I'm never going to get a solo. You just started, Jackie. You got to give yourself time. I have to be the best at it, MJ, or else I've failed. Is that how you're supposed to see hobbies? Nope. This is not a career. It's not something you have to be the best at. It's not

content. You don't have to do anything with it. Take a note from Anna Kendra. Actually, don't because she is about to step to the top. Oh, yeah. And you don't need to do that. Oh, if that's a fat Amy's going to get a solo, I don't want to call her that, but, you know, I guess that's what we're doing. You know, she's self-calling her that. So I guess, you know, if that's what she chooses. You're right. You're right. You're right. I really think, I know you're not trying to be slutty, but I don't know if the flight

attendant thing is working, guys. Yeah. I mean, I'm into it. You have to think of your audience. My God, are we going to get choir ropes? We're at regionals already? This movie is flying by. Flying by. Well, they had four months, and they're trying to get to... Poppet.

Poppet, Acapella. Random. Again, weird race jokes. Yeah, it's just, yeah. Why? It is weird because it could so easily be lifted out. Yeah, and I know that they're not going to go back and, like, edit the movie. I understand it's a different dive.

It's just, it's interesting to see. it now from it just stands out and that wasn't a smart joke there was nothing insightful about it it wasn't envelope pushing it wasn't it was really crazy it was just like there's a black guy there it's so weird yeah and it's not you know people it's not like i'm offended too easily it's just like why is this here why i think they were just making notice of it in a way that like if we had watched it in 2012 we wouldn't right right right he doesn't mean i like it anyway like honestly A Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my favorite movies. There are chunks of that movie that are rough.

Right. But it is still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Totally. Yeah, I mean, there's the entire Arrested Development, Mr. F plotline, you know, which I still, I'll still say, Mr. F. Mr. F. She's so fucking funny. Pitch pipe. Pitch pipe.

I always said that me and Holden need a pitch pipe for our singing. Yeah, right. And so that we could never hit the moon. And then, we're still doing the sign a year later. Yeah, it's no. Is it going to be a match? No.

She needs to bring her power of mashup, MJ. Oh, my God, you're right, Jackie. You're right. She needs a power of mashup. Oh, my God, you're right. It's going to be a mashup victory. Living without you. I let you long alone

Open up my eyes I saw the sign Oh my God If you want to be feel alive Do yourself a favor I'm sorry what What were you I was going to say

Search on YouTube for videos Of John Darniel of the Mountain Goats Singing the Signed Live they cover it often when they do shows And it's very good If you're a Mountain Goats fan I love Mountain Goats. Snoose Fest.

Mash up, mash up, mash up, mash up. Whoa. How are you feeling about Rebel Wilson solo, Jackie? I mean, she's really given Jenny Annie dots. She is giving Jenny Annie dads. She is a very good singer. Like, again, I don't dislike Rebel Wilson because I think she's on Dallas. She's very funny and she is.

She's talented, yeah. No, but her physicality right now is very Jenny any dots. Yeah, she was doing pause. Like, she was. Hell yeah. All right, you got them back at the end there, guys. You got to bring, see it? You got to pepper it up.

Freshen it up. That's funny. The menstrual cycles. The menstrual cycles. What is our group name going to be, MJ? Who are we going to get to join our group? Man, if you lived here, we at least could start working on a quartet. I would love nothing more than that, but again, I cannot emphasize how much I struggle to sing in a way that other people like.

How dare you? I like singing. That's why we do it together. Sing like no one's listening. And no one's, sing like no one's commenting. That's what choir's all about, MJ. Oh, it's going to be good. You know the troublemakers are good.

You know. You know they know how to put it on a show. I'm shocked at how similar the dynamic was to my college because also the male Acapellular Group had a better reputation than the female repackabella group. Really? Yeah. I don't know why. See, I feel like the Acapella Group in our college was not annoying.

The improv groups were very annoying. That is everyone's college improv group's reputation as being annoying. But believe it or not, we were the not annoying ones. It was the sketch group that was annoying. I mean, we're all friends now, but that was the rivalry at the time. And we weren't annoying. We were cool. And that was our dynamic with sketch.

So it was the opposite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But man, did we judge improv people? Everybody judges improv people and everybody judges Acapella. And maybe that's why we can enjoy Acapella. Enjoy it so much. Because we have done a lot of improv in our lives. Yes.

Yeah, because that was a thing. We, like, went against them. But also it's like, we also did improv. We were just like, you don't have to be a dork and do improv. Like, that's essentially what our M.O. was. Well, we would also put on a sketch show every year, so we considered ourselves masters of both. Ah.

One sketch show a year? Yeah, but it was a really produced sketch show, Jackie. Whoa. I mean, I know Murder Fist. Can't keep up with Murder Fist. you guys put on like 13 shows a week, okay? So I can't. We did a lot of shows.

I cannot. No one can keep up with murder fist. We did a lot of shows. Oh my God. Have we been all overworking since the beginning of time? Did I tell you that I, I voice influenced my mother into joining, going, getting back into quartet life? Really? Yeah.

I didn't tell her about the choir, but she listened to the episode where I was talking about the choir. And then she's like getting her old group back together. Oh, that's nice. I was like, what? Ah, this is great. I love having the old guys coming back. Yeah. Ew.

A few years ago. Is that Murray from Clueless? Oh, yeah, it is. Wow. And, uh, what's his name from Wet Hot American Summer and, uh, Joe LaTrulio? Yes. Oh, my God. I love an Acapella fight.

Oh, my God. Sometimes you have to, yeah, you gotta fucking throw bows at an a cappella. Man, you remember, like districts, like theater districts. Oh, yeah. That shit got real, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah, not like the other girl. She punches a man in the face.

Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah, this is reminding me of high school theater contests for sure. Yes. Oh, fat Amy. They should change your name to, strong. That's a fun burn. He's always in my room.

Daddy. Whoa. At an acapella show. At an acapella show. I feel like my mom heard that I was at an acapella show. She'd be like, oh, what did someone do to deserve it if they're at an acapella show?

You're saying that if I get this call from one of my own kids, I'm not supposed to get mad at them? Ask him if they were at an acapella show. And you're like, emotions run hot? You know, it's a lot to deal with it. Yeah, you got to be prepared for anything. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, my God, so it all.

I can't believe my original dorm room roommate liked me. She was like a sorority girl. Really? And she talked like that. Really? Yeah, but I made her fall in love with me. I loved, I loved my first year. Yeah, I was so lucky.

We just loved each other. we were also totally different totally different social scenes oh yeah very different lives yeah but we just absolutely we would just come back to the room and just like talk about our crushes and stuff it was awesome oh that's cute no we were always hammered we would see each other and be like yeah we would hungoverly though the next day laugh about how hungover we were yeah there you go mj you fucking that's so funny that's so funny that's That's so funny. That bulletproof is playing right now. Oh my God.

Fuck this guy. Girl. Oh, but she's going to probably get closer to him. Oh, no, he better not be a bastard. MJ? He's going to be a bastard. You know he is. He better not be bad to her.

You're going to be a snoot about it? Okay. Marking your territory. Yeah, of course, Bulletproof makes an appearance after the first one, ricochet. Titanium, you know. they're in they're in a similar class

I feel like they're in the same universe they are also bulletproof the word is in titanium right right right that's a good line thongong is it is only it is a great line

that's such a funny line that's a great line do not you dare I'm triggered I'm triggered I'm triggered I'm triggered MJ do not out of the bus and everything.

I'm triggered on the bus. MJ! MJ! No, don't throw food out of the bus. Out of the bus. At the fact, though. No. Not here.

Not at page seven. I'm triggered. Fuck you guys. Now, I have been egged twice. Don't eat the burrito. You've been egged. Have they been boiled? No.

Oh, no. And it does. When she got to. with the burrito, she screamed, I've been shot. And when you get egged, you do really feel like for a moment that you're under attack. Getting egg hurts. It's, yeah. Fucking hurts, man. Yeah. No, both times where we believe random eggings. Um, I mean, one time I know it was right. It was just a bunch of kids in the Bronx next to the school I worked at who were just throwing eggs at anybody they could hit. I get it. And then another time I was at a protest and we thought maybe it was

like a political egging. Oh my God. But it is scary. Oh, Rebel Wilson, I'm so sorry that happened to you. You did not deserve that, no matter how annoying you are. No, you did it. You're going to think about it all the time. I'm sorry, Jack. I'm fine. I'm not upset.

Look, Miley Cyrus is saying. We're getting Miley Cyrus. This song was out by 2012? Yeah, dude. This is also crazy. Famous. Yeah. Oh my God.

I just can't imagine how much more enthusiastic I'd be if I was drunk. Oh my God, can I get the choir to sing this? Oh, yes. I don't know if the older women are going to want to sing this. Yes. Yes. Surprise my way. Yeah.

Now, my kids have discovered a version of this song on Spotify called Farting in the USA. No. where all the lyrics have been replaced with lyrics about farting, and it's very upsetting to me. I'm like, no. I hate it. You're having the Australian person drive? Don't they drive on the other side of the road?

Yeah. Or do they not? I don't know. Actually, I don't know. I don't know. They probably do. I feel like they must. I should know from Bluey, but there's not a ton of driving in it.

They're not like, and you know, we draw up all the other side of the road, Bluey. You're just like, all right. Okay, Dad. Thank you, Dad. Man. Bumper was the name of a friend of mine's Coke dealer in our twins. Oh, yeah? Yeah, which, I mean, makes sense that Bumper's name.

But, oh, my God, get to know each other, get to like each other. Pitch slapped. MJ, bitch slapped. Oh, guys, are you guys going to do the powers combined? thing? Is that what's going to happen? They might. Because I do feel like having like a baritone is helpful for acapella. I really enjoy singing with like in a genderless choir. Yeah, a genderful choir. Yeah, genderful. Yeah, just like, yeah, just the, yeah, having the

whole range of the vocal, the whole vocal range at your disposal. Yeah, it's nice to have that depth. But you know, it would be great like a bring it on. version of pitch perfect where it was about like the you know the urban school that had more rhythm and more more you know charisma and was better I wonder if at dancing there are multiple pitch perfect so maybe they take that on yeah I haven't revisited bring it on in a long time and I'm not sure I mean I'm sure it holds up as a great movie but I'm not sure how the race stuff holds up but yeah it's an open question Sound off in the comments if you have opinions about it.

Guys, you got to combine your teams. I was about to say, I feel like this movie has a lot less cringe moments than I expected it to. But also, I guess to some, all a cappella is a cringe moment. I think that's, you got it. I think this entire premise is cringe to, I'm going to say, the majority of the population. I'm serious. Not us, though. Not us.

Maybe it's just overrepresented cringe in our, like, cynical comedian circles, you know? Obviously, the movies did well. You guys got to loosen it up. Come on, girls. You know they're going to bump it up. Come on. Anna's about to go rogue. Look at her.

Becca, whatever her name is. She's ready. Let it all hang out, bitch. Mash it. Mash it. You're right. Mash it. You're right.

Jackie. We're mashing it up. Bitch. Get the. MASH. Get that mash. Kytaniam is coming into the montage. Get your match up.

You get your bitch. You get that mash up. Get your mash and mash it, bitch. Yes, you must. You get your mashing. Yes. What else you're going to do, Becca? Come on.

Show me the jiggy. Come on. I know you got it in you. What was that, Becca? We didn't rehearse it that way. Maybe, but then she just had to She had to try, okay? They were asleep.

Yeah, they were asleep. Everybody loved it. You need to be dethroned, bitch. Whoa. You have to be able to rely on each other. I understand, sometimes you need the mash, but sometimes you have to support each other. I know. It was a, that is a dick move, but she's going to save the choir, Jackie. I know she's going to save the choir.

Did I just realize it? his name was Jesse? Did we know his name was Jesse? We did not know his name was Jesse. We've never heard his name before. Dane Cook. Wow. You just lost yourself, your star player. Whoa. Because she was trying to produce it like the DJ she is. But then how can you trust and rely on each other when you're on stage? I know. I know. This is complicated. You don't want someone to go totally rogue. Oh my God. What are you going to do to that other? Yeah, I don't. Why are you looking at that other kid who did. I don't trust him.

Who did good at Acapella. I don't trust the magician. I'm saying it. I don't trust the magician. And that is said as someone that has hung out with magicians before. Magicians would also say don't trust the magician. You've seen a lot of magic. I've seen a lot of magic.

MJ, won't they end up loving the mashup? I mean, unfortunately, she's right. Again, this was the golden age of Girl Talk. It needs to be a mashup. Also, the golden age of DJ Earworm. Oh my God, did you have a DJ Earworm phase? I was fucking obsessed. I think we were just listening to DJ Earworm

like last jacken. Really? It still is in the rotate. It's great. And Girl Talk, too, still gets so good. DJ Earworm 2009 songs still one of the best, my absolute favorite songs. United States of Pop.

Is that what he calls him? What? United States of Pop. that's the end of the year mashups he does every year. It was 2009. I would say it's a pop. And then he also used to do summer mashups for all the summer jams. Yes.

I'm sad. I still am sad that I never got to bang in the college radio station because that was really a dream of like what the song is on to like go bang one out and then come back for the next song. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's also saying like, oh, you just wanted a two-minute fuck. You know, in college you weren't really expecting a lot, you know? No, it was a, it was a, the radio station was a place of sexy mystery, you know. Yeah. Everyone's chain smoking inside the little rooms in there.

Anna Kendrick is watching the breakfast club and crying because you blew it with your boyfriend, Jesse. Or maybe she's just realizing she's actually in love with Judd Nelson and that all of this is a wash and she needs to go find Judd Nelson, which I get. I understand. Like in the way that I understand having food thrown at you from out of a bus, MJ. I can't believe that happened. Oh, they're showing up at the house. Oh, that's what he was figuring out. Oh, he's in high school.

Oh, come on. Evan Hanson. Leave him alone. Ooh, work that ass. Wow. Oh, my God. They're in. They're in.

because the high school, the team with the high schooler got disqualified. DQed. You know what? It's not a, you know, it's not a feel good win, but sometimes you got to take what you can get. Sometimes we'll take a technicality. I do like this. The montage of everybody getting the notification. I love the montage, but I also love that Rebel Wilson, even though, of course,

it's a joke that she's with hot guys, I still like that she was with. Right, right, right. We're going to the finals. Oh my God. He's movies and she's music, but together they make one. Fine couple. Right? Yeah, they're fine. Oh, man.

The boots over the skinny jeans. I was just thinking that. Look at those tall boots and those skinny jeans. And MJ and I with the big calves, we never could. Couldn't do it. Caves are too big. We never could. Look like I'm, you feel triggered.

Look like I'm going waiting in a creek if I try that look. Yeah, I'm triggered. I spent years trying that look. look like I'm where it works Look like I'm about to go You know fly fishing Like he would put the popcorn in a bowl Fucking

Fucking college What sophomore Yeah no I don't think so He's eating that out of the bag Why are you then? Yeah Is it your mommy issues

Or are we going to find out What happens with mommy? Tell him something To rope him in Tell him something To make him feel bad It's like we just watch the cheers where coach is trying to get a woman's attention And he says that his trick to get a woman's attention is always to injure himself

I love coach so fucking much And isn't he perfect I love coach also in the magic box Aubrey you got to step down girl you're a bad leader I know they're gonna have to get behind fucking Anna Kendrick Wow I'm sorry. I didn't know the movie was called bitch perfect.

That's the sequel. Yeah. Pitch perfect too. Bitch perfect. Rated R. Yeah. It really, it really strays, but.

I'm like, God, that kitchen. That's when you know you're old, when you just, oh, I love this kitchen. Why are you so mad at your dad? He's got a great house. Prepare that relationship.

Oh, it was just a divorce I wanted it to be mommy dead. If mommy was dead, she shouldn't be mad at daddy. That would be very unfair. I mean, you know, whatever. You can't control your emotions. I feel like it happens. Of course.

But it makes more sense if she's mad at him for divorcing her mom. Yes. But where's mom? Be mad at mom. Mom's absent. Not there. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Hall jumped into it with the rubber ducks. Calvin. But here's a thing. You know, you want to like roll your eyes at people that take groups like this so seriously. And I understand that, but you kind of have to take it seriously. Oh, yeah. No, you do. Or else, what do you do it?

Yeah, right. If you're going to do it, do it. You can't be like rolling your eyes through it. What is, what idea did Dane Cook just get? Magician. Oh, the magician. Magician guy. Magician.

See, Aubrey? Whoa. Go to Becca. Find her. Make the mashup of our dreams. Whoa, bitch. Okay. Let it out.

Oh my God. Why more puking? Oh my God. Oh. MJ! No, I hate it. You hate puking. You hate puking the way I hate fawning and shit in and you hate puking.

I hate pukes. I hate pukes. Yeah, you hate that. You really hate that. Whoa, yeah. No, don't fall in the pew. Ew, not falling in the puke. Is she going to get loud, though?

Oh, my God, no. No. Ew. Also, what has this girl been eating that all of her puke is violent orange like that? I guess it's not violent orange. It's more of like a violent beige, you know? Yeah. I don't like it. Ew, no. Oh, I'm sorry for trying to save the band.

Mm-hmm. It's also really crazy how much better everyone as a whole has gotten with makeup, like with the advancements and like tutorials and stuff. Yeah, yeah. She got the raccoon eyes for sure. This, look, this fashion, though, this was definitely like the peak of Hot Girl fashion in 2012. Oh, very much so. Oh, yeah, especially like a hipster girl. Oh, my God, watching Vanderpump. And right now they're like, Ariana is such a hipster girl. And it's just because she has glasses.

She's got a jean jacket. Sometimes she wears a plaid. Yeah, hard on toners. Oh, so everybody's got daddy issues? You out? Yeah. Wow. No, my daddy always said,

Just to stuff off and try again. Remember that song? Oh, yeah. First you don't succeed. Yeah, you guys didn't do enough team building. It can't just be rehearsals. You have to know each other. You have to bond.

At choir, we always wear name tags. And there's always like a mixer up top so that we could all talk to each other. That's nice. And there's a homophobic joke. Yep, all right. Which. I still love you. You just told this here.

Okay. All right. It was 2012, guys. We could have done better. Yeah. Yeah. Not as bad as it could have been in 2012. Yeah.

I hate my twin in the womb. That's a fun random joke. Which is interesting about her real life. That Patricia. Oh, we know, Becca. We, yeah. We know you're a type of girl who doesn't have a lot of other friends who are girls. That's what makes you not like the other girls.

Yep. You can't do that over break. Good job delegating, Aubrey. Wow. We make a mashup. That's what we do. Wow. Ew.

Get a new one. The puke is still there. Yeah. Yeah, they're all sitting and talking next to the, like, can we do something about the puke? No. New song. Next. No, I don't want it to be Bruno Mars Jackie.

No. I need a better lift us up together song. I wish we could like change it and play a different one. Go back to the other songs you were singing. No. are lifting each other up, MJ. Are we to believe they just spontaneously make up the acapella? I mean, you're just questioning this now.

MJ, they've done this a couple of times. We're at an hour of 36. You don't understand the connection of song, all right? When everybody's singing together, okay? You just feel the synergy. I guess it's okay. This is how I always am with Bruno Mars. I'm like, ew, no.

And then 10 seconds later, I'm like, it's fun. I like Bruno Mars. Do you just, you get annoyed by Bruno Mars? There was a lot of Bruno Mars in my teaching time. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I mean, now he's almost completely paid off his gambling debts. Yeah, no, this isn't fine. He's fine.

He's good. I'm being a crank and I apologize. I understand, though. I understand at times if you're listening to a lot of Bruno Mars, I can get a little samesy. Yeah. But honestly, when it's done, knock-a-one. You know I love it.

Yeah, that was good. I'll admit that I like that. We got them, boys. You hear that? Yeah. Whoa. That was funny. Okay.

Yes. Final countdown. See, this is, I really, what I really want are like majestic bar songs sung Acapella and not Bruno Mars. That's the thing. I understand. Yes. Give me another montage.

I want the whole movie to be montage. I want less dialogue and I want more singing. More singing. We're singing. Is this movie sponsored by Lincoln Center or something? I feel like they get paid every time they say Lincoln Center. I love it. I love this movie.

Oh my God, MJ, what if we had an Acapella group and we'll dress as like the baseball gang and the Warriors? Yes, I was thinking this is a bit Warriors-esque, but for Acapella. Right? Yes. I'm about to show this fucking movie to my kids. Yeah, you are, dude. So they love trolls, which is essentially this movie. movie but animated, you know, trolls three specifically. So. And, and the jokes that aren't for them,

they're just not going to get. Yeah, that's fine. They'll think the puke scene is very funny, of course. Yes. And that's my dick. Okay, but I have to explain what a dick, you know, that's, but that's fun. You know, they go to school with boys who are their age. I'm sure they've heard shit like that. I'm sure they've heard. Ooh, I short-circuited your brain by saying, good luck to you. Oh, no. I hope I don't want him to fuck up. No, I don't want him to either. But they don't have Kelvin. Who are they without Kelvin? Oh, they have Evan Hansen now.

Yeah, they've got Evan Hansen. They also have fucking Dane Cook, you know? I think he's stepping up. Yeah. But can he be the same showman? You're going to have to do a little bit more than that, honey. Oh, my God, they're acting out different instruments. The entry at the keyboard. That is very funny.

I love it. You're going to need to give more. I love this, Jackie. Cheers reference. Oh, yes. I see the entire world now through a lens of cheers. You're welcome. Yeah, I know I didn't make cheers to give it to you, but I feel like I kind of did.

You know? I mean, he's no Adam DeVine. No, he's not. Oh, okay. Evan Hanson, step up. Ew, don't give it the Evan Hanson treatment. Ew, don't give it the quiver. I've told you about the.

the YouTube video that rips Evan Hanson. Yeah, I think you have. There was a lot of Evan Hansen discourse that I did kind of miss out on, but... Oh, and they're doing it together, so... Bumper was taking control, and now it's nice that everybody gets to shy. Yeah, everybody gets a little solo. That's true. That's nice. MJ, I'm about to have a confession. I'm excited to see the Bella's final performance.

Jackie, I'm thrilled right now. I'm loving the Trembaker's final performance. I can't wait to see what the bell is pull out. I love it. What have we become? This movie has flown by. I can feel me in 2012 making fun of me now. Oh, I would have been such a little piss pot about it.

I sure I was. You could probably find me on the tape being a piss pot. I'm sure. Go back to listen to earlier page sevens. I'm sure we've made horrible jokes. I'm sure. About pitch perfect. But we've grown.

now we're just happy for them We've grown I'm medicated You know things are Yeah things have really changed We've medicated You know We've been to therapy

We don't need to attack other people For what they love Mm-hmm Oh you guys have fat hearts MJ You have a fat heart too You too Thank you

Uh-oh Yeah thank God Tiddies The Tiddies are out. They finally look sexy. Oh, step monsters there. Oh, interesting. Pitch pipe. What are they going to sing, Jackie? I don't know. I'm trying, like, I know that we should talk over this, but I know. Get ready

for five minutes of silence, listeners. It's just going, oh, oh. It's deeply enjoying the a cappella. Ooh. Interesting choice. Jackie and I didn't just watch it with big smiles on our faces, guys. It's cartoonish the way I look. Just really enjoying ourselves. Yes. Oh my God, breakfast club.

Oh, my God, breakfast club. That's how she's going to win it back. No, Zoom. I'm not playing music. Stop asking me. No, it's just me. I made to sing Zoom. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Is she going to end with the fucking Judd Nelson arm up? I hope so. We're mashing up. We're mashing. Oh. I got to say, I don't think that Dane Cook's acting is... Honestly, I know that Adam DeBeed is too funny to be that role, but like I think that...

And he, you know... Yeah. Yeah, oh, he did the arm up. He did the John Nelson. That's fine. Yeah, he's good. Okay. Yes.

For all we know. Let's do it tomorrow. Let's do it tonight. Oh, my God. Jackie. Oh, my. What have you done, Patreon? What have you done to us?

We love it. Oh, my God. I can't wait to show this to my children. Man, you're going to go from having never seen this movie to having watched this movie a thousand times in one week I'll have it memorized. Yes.

Mash mash mash mash. It's a mash up. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh my God. She's making the mash with her mouth.

Oh! They also got some fucking choreo for a change. Oh, yeah. This is what happens when Becca's in charge. Yeah, we let Anna Kendrick take the reins. Yes.

We love them. Bellas. And Daddy's there. Daddy's there. Daddy's proud of you for a change. This one time. I am about to go on a 2010's heyday in my home. Here I'm a sages at heart.

That's funny. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Kiss. Kiss. Oh, they're kissing. They're kissing. They're kissing.

That's what happens. Let me see what that mouth do, bitch. Let me see what that mouth do. Man, you could tell, man, there was no passion in that. Yeah, I know. Do you think they're all going to be bitches now that they won? No. To be over, Jackie.

No. No. It's over. This is why it goes to be... How many now I have to... MJ, we're not watching pitch perfect two. We're not. Are we?

How many pitch perfects are there? Let me just... Okay, there's only three. Is pitch perfect to any good? They waited three years to put out another one. They left us on a cliffhanger like that for three years? I mean, it's got 66%. You know, that's not the worst for a sequel.

Yeah, that's all right. I mean, we're going to watch it. Something tells us it's in our future. It's in our future. We're going to have to watch it. Not right now. I think right now we got to get out of here. Yeah, but thank you everybody for this gift that he gave us today.

I can't. I knew I was going to like it. I just genuinely didn't think I was going to like it. that much. I'm also really surprised by how much I liked it. Thank you everyone for recommending that. That was really fun. I'm sorry if we were ever pissy, snobbies before, because it's great. Yeah. And I apologize if maybe I talked about choir too much, but you know, I mean, it was really begging. You got to talk about choir. You know, pitch perfect. You got to. And thank you everyone for encouraging us to watch this. And also, I feel like not actually

telling us that it was genuinely very good. I feel like I thought that it was more of a, I don't want to say more of a high school musical because I genuinely also did enjoy high school musical. But I guess I thought it was going to be worse in that way. I think I enjoyed this even more than high school musical. And now don't, don't get mad because I know you high school musical lovers love high school musical. But I, this was a great movie and I'm so glad we watched it. And now we've got two more to watch, much like the high school musical franchise. Well, at least we have one more to watch. Let's see how the second one goes before we say we're watching all three.

All right. Thank you, everybody. Have a beautiful rest of your week. I just, you know what? I miss you guys. And I hope you having a wonderful time. Thank you so much, MJ. And I hope everyone that you were able to watch along with Pitch Perfect.

And if you did it, I hope he still had a great time because I think we pretty much talk through all of it except for the final dance scene. that's just because we were enthralled.
