Starting point is 00:00:40 Well, ladies and gentlemen, we just watched Scooby-Doo. And how you saw these highlights was thanks to the fine team, the production of Prepper. Thank you for adding to this down. If you guys are looking for some editors, beyond just reactions, they're really great editors. So go ahead, check them out. Wonderful company. been working with them for years. They're an extension of the R.R. Nation.

Starting point is 00:01:17 Listen, listen, we'd love to support our royal rejects. We have some questions here that we put out on our Patreon exclusively saying, hey, we let the patrons know our shooting schedule and people submit questions and i saw we got a few yeah so i want to make sure there's no like overlap when we're um you know talking like i don't want to review it and then oh man we already brought that thing up i don't know i haven't read any of these questions yet so let's see here um Aaron please do the honors uh it is um uh scuffle girl oswald though they think john was in this video that was an incorrect thing oh god it was going to be terrible people are so disappointed
Starting point is 00:02:01 oh my gosh read the first question please can you can you see that well enough does it be bigger for you time tell me what you need tell me what you need okay we love you thank you how do you guys feel about the tone they went for because apparently
Starting point is 00:02:17 it wasn't originally intended to be family friendly hmm James Gunn's original script was much more adult including shaggy being an actual stoner Valvin daffini having a relationship, there were even a kissing scene between
Starting point is 00:02:32 Vellma and Daphne that was cut from the final movie. Wow. And much more violent and scary. Whoa. Wild. However, it was edited down to be family-friendly PG rating. Gunn also claims there
Starting point is 00:02:50 exists a rated R cut. What? And there were many of the female cast members cleaviers that had to be removed via C.D. Wow. Also, just wanted to say that you guys and every single one of the real rejects are awesome. Love you. Jesse from Texas. Thank you so much for the love. Thank you for the question. Wow. That is interesting. I was unaware of that entirely. It doesn't feel chock down. No. It doesn't feel reedited. I did have, I mean, we made a couple of jokes during it. I did have the thought of this feels the, I've seen other stuff where James Gunn, like, produced it or. Or, or. wrote it but didn't direct it and this felt the most like not a james gun screenplay for sure even though he's the solely accredited accredited screenwriter and he's also a story by credit and what often happens in these movies especially with the solely accredited screenplay writer in films is like
Starting point is 00:03:47 they care so much about protecting like final cut or final say or sometimes writers become producers so they can protect this is a lot of times other writers that get brought on board to like you know, rewrite, chop, but sometimes several, and they're not credited. But then the person who gets the spotlight or the blame, depending on how it turns out, for the screenplay is the one credited writer. Wow. Because, yeah, it didn't feel like a James Gunn script other than some little touches of like found family, the team infusing that.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I thought was smart. And then we were saying, like, oh, those seem like there was more adult stuff that they kind of trimmed down a little bit, like, oh, the director's kind of masking. some stuff at one point saw us a couple people in a bikini the the shaggy thing uh i asked that when we're reacting we're watching the scene on them in the bus like wait is shaggy supposed to be a stoner yeah you see the smoke coming out of the van yeah yeah the mary jane joke oh well that's my favorite name i feel like that's a james gun flurier i don't know how i totally missed that i just i thought it was so funny how he reacted to that comment
Starting point is 00:04:54 oh yeah i didn't even catch oh man i totally missed that I'm so stupid. I thought you were laughing. I am the worst pro-spoker in the world. That's what happens with the marriage in and vexed your cognitive function sometimes. Kissing since you've seen Velma and Daphne. That's crazy because I don't see Jack about that. They didn't set that up at all.
Starting point is 00:05:19 There's not a single. In fact, the confusing part was it seemed like they were setting up Velma and Fred the whole time. Yeah, like she was jealous. Like she wanted that friend. that Freddy action, but now they just did a complete 180 and just made Daphne and Freddie do a thing. It kissed the end. I was like, oh, that was, seems like out of nowhere, but all right.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Even though like canonical or traditionally, those two are together. And it's usually in some iterations, it's Daphne. I mean, it's Velma and Shaggy that hookup. But yeah, that was, that's definitely interesting. I did not see any of those kind of potential outcomes or plot lines in this one. but you know what James Gunn is full circle he's back at Warner Brothers he's the head of DC let's get the rated R James Gun Cut of this movie I would love to see that that is pretty wild because it does not seem it seemed very intentional in its execution yeah it seemed like you're
Starting point is 00:06:14 someone who watched Scooby-Doo growing up so it seemed like to you that they were capturing the tone we made comments during it of I could see how there's an actual a horror movie here yeah as it was happening the only thing i was kind of remembering if i didn't comment on it when you said it was like that oh yeah uh scrabby do has like a important he's like the villain the antagonist of the but um i didn't remember exactly how like they went about it but i do know that in the show he's actually a good guy and he's scooby's little cousin oh that makes more sense well damn thanks for all those fun facts that is really telling shit that is surprising i'm just so surprised about how it how it felt like um smooth as the part of and clunky and in
Starting point is 00:07:04 charming ways not clunky and and like something's off here about the editing and execution or the reshoots i think there's some funny editing choices like when the frame rate would slow down randomly in the third act i thought that was kind of fun but it didn't feel like something to hide or fix something it seemed like it was some it seemed like a choice for what they've said that it was yeah you would have no idea that something was was altered in such a major way but yeah i wonder what the original runtime was because this was like under an hour and a half which i did not realize was that that short damn that's crazy i don't know if james gunn wrote the second one and i i don't know uh i'm curious like the actors all signed on for this
Starting point is 00:07:46 one and they uh like i know at least now i'd say all of them were pretty well known right at the time i think this is what put them on the map what means some of them i guess we're different things right i think fred prince and sir michel i think fritz and sir michelago were already pretty popular and matthew loder was in scream right i don't know linda cardilini was in yeah i don't know she's the main thing i know them from as much howled but yeah i guess you know buffy and then scream so that makes sense i mean freddy prince junior was like a heartthrob he didn't like rom-coms and shit and i'm not familiar with a lot of his movies but i know he was like a sensation in the 90s oh yeah i haven't seen a single one of his other movies but dang thanks for letting us know
Starting point is 00:08:25 Okay, so we got another one here from Thomas Doherty? Do you think the movie honors the characters many of us grew up and joined? Yes, I do. And how did you feel about the casting? I thought it was spot on. I think they nailed the casting, but I think they gave Freddie a slight disservice to them seemingly less intelligent as he was in the cartoon. Well, Aaron, your thoughts first, please?
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah, I think Freddie was more or more competent in the show from what I remember. He was actually, like, the leader of the group. They really leaned down into the dumb. and the obliviousness of Fred in this film. But I do think they did a really great job with Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and Linda Cardalini
Starting point is 00:09:05 as Velma. She really behaved and sounded just like how she did in the cartoon. So I think that was a phenomenal. I think Michelle Sarah Michelle Geller. Sarah Michelle Geller. Sarah Michelle Geller. She also did a really good job with the arc that they gave her through
Starting point is 00:09:21 like kind of coming into her agency and being able to fend for herself and save herself so i thought that stuff was really fun but yeah i think everyone was pretty well cast and i even matthew lillard he went on to voice scooby or voice shaggy and other films after this like animated stuff no way really yeah oh fun he is like he is the definitive shaggy life action and animated now okay cool uh well you know honestly like i've of course seen you know clips and tidbits and and uh moments references whatever to to know like some trope stuff like i know some of the personality of shaggy i would say the most i honestly
Starting point is 00:10:01 couldn't tell you didly squat about um from from any memory experience about the other three i didn't know like what roles they've really played or what made them unique other than there's two guys and two you know i didn't know uh what it was but this movie um i loved the clarity of it at one point i said i didn't feel left out meaning it didn't feel like i need to to know Scooby-Doo in order to enjoy or understand the experience. I, in fact, it was making me interested in experiencing the cartoon now, which is a very big compliment to the journey of the film. And I remember seeing the trailer.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I don't remember the trailer. I remember the emotion I had associated with watching the trailer. And that emotion was, this looks incredibly annoying. And that's why I'd ever watched it because it just looked like a chore to, even as a young person i i had no interest in seeing this movie and uh i thought that what they did with it's really easy for an adaptation of a cartoon to like try to be so much the cartoon and you end up being very one note and i love that they brought you know like it's not the deepest film obviously but they brought nuance to each one of the characters it helps with some of the setup of the writing
Starting point is 00:11:19 but i i think there's like great beats and pauses and shades when it comes to shaggy and uh matthew literally like you pointed out we were watching whoever he was interacting with who played scooby or whatever he was interacting with he did a great job because so much of what makes that dynamic believable is the way he's responding right because scooby do is like the most one-note character out of the five and um yeah even like the the little subtle arcs that they gave with fred of him being the the dummy cocky guy who's very self-absorbed and he learns to give the spotlight away to someone who feels the most left out and take the lead on this big thing they conquered. With Daphne being, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:02 someone who is just the person who's caught and becomes, like, self-reliant. And, yeah, then becoming, like, a whole team by the end. And, yeah, and Vellma, I thought was, like, cool. I thought she was, you know, like, I'm personally, like, more attracted and drawn to, like, that kind of character than I am, at Daphne. Just because, like, like, the hot nerd. Yeah. The intelligence.
Starting point is 00:12:22 it's the intelligence that's a lot for me yeah um so yeah i thought she was uh really cool i really loved watching her like shaggy was the first one i caught my eye as yeah these guys doing a really great job but as the movie went and i was like they're all so good in this yeah no they really defined scooby-dew for a generation that kind of reinvigorated people's interests and in that property and i think it spawned or helped spawn other tv shows animated after this one like What's New Scooby-Doo? Classic one I grew up with. That theme song, if you know, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:57 But, yeah, I think they did a really good job at portraying them. And I really believe their team dynamic. Awesome. Aaron, please. The next one. How do you guys feel about the villains say their name? My God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Game Night J-14. Thank you so much. We appreciate you. And thank you for your question. How do you guys feel about the villains actually being supernatural in this movie? when the villains in the series were usually just a man in a mask so yeah i yeah that's usually like the trope how it was the beginning of the movie they masked them i thought it was interesting it was it was definitely a a subversion for what we're accustomed to with scooby-due and i don't really have a frame
Starting point is 00:13:40 of reference to kind of go off of but other than obviously the opening scene but yeah how was that for you seeing them so scooby-doo gang are normally like paranormal investigators or something that are that to disprove they end up disproving that it's not actually something paranormal that's normally where they land exactly uh i think for a movie i prefer i guess they were trying to do the best of both worlds by having scrappy be a person in disguise as a human you know so to still give that quality a version of it's a version of that trope yeah but i kind of like more of the indiana jones approach you know where they think it's just like bullshit mythology and then by the time they get to the end they're like oh actually no this is real uh i i
Starting point is 00:14:26 feel like i would be a little disappointed as a viewer again this is my real and i don't consider whatever that one was from a few years ago because some of people were told me that's not like a great depiction of what scooby-do really feels like um and it was more of like a superhero movie from whatever i i really don't remember the plot or what happens and i just remember like not enjoying it too much but the um but yeah Yeah, I think the way this ends is what I personally wanted, was it to actually be something supernatural. Reject Nation, I don't know about you, but money used to intimidate me used to. It definitely still intimidates me.

Yeah, it was really goofy and they kind of, I don't say jump the shark, but they definitely took it a different direction than you're accustomed to if you watched the animated show. but we've seen supernatural stuff with Scooby-2 before. But to this degree, making Scrappy the straight-up villain
Starting point is 00:16:52 was something I don't believe had been done prior to this movie. And I don't think it's been done since, to my recollection, but if you guys know otherwise, please let us know in the comments. That's what they do. They ruin legacy characters in Hollywood, man. Damn them. They ruin Scrappy. Change and what we love trying to bastardize our childhoods.
Starting point is 00:17:10 No, but I think that it was fun. I feel like the ways in which they changed it, were very goofy but not offensive to me in any way as far as like this is portraying the soul of what Scooby-Doo is about. They did still have an investigative aspect to this movie that kind of brought them all together. They are mystery incorporated. They did solve a mystery. So, and they did all feel like themselves. So I would say, yeah, this is a worthy successor of the legacy of Scooby-Doo, even if it is an alternate universe version of how we expect events to go down they did a really fun job and yeah it didn't bother me i thought i thought
Starting point is 00:17:54 it was it was a interesting contrast to have them actually fight demon soul things that was it was weird but it was cool well i thank you game night uh duke suave oh great i wasn't expecting this banger shout out to geron oh yeah that's what i love to hear love to hear it that's me and john i love how this Yeah, I know. I picked up on that. I love it. I love it. Shout out to you two. Glad you guys are here. I'm glad that the wrong name was put out on the Patreon post. That makes me really happy. I'm glad. Would that be Aaron? I'm not share a damn name with anyone here. It's Greg and the rest of you.
Starting point is 00:18:38 How did y'all like the performances? We've elaborated on that. And who was the MVP for you all? I was originally, I know I would still say Shaggy. I think Matthew Liller probably has the most challenging job because of the personality traits I've seen, he's the most cartoony. And he had the biggest liability of potentially being like the most annoying or the most unbelievable. And he really found like a great media.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Yeah. Yeah, Shaggy and Scooby are the heart of the Scooby-Doo franchise. And for them to cast somebody that, not only captures the soul and energy of Shaggy, but to have that guy be someone who works so well with a CGI dog who isn't actually there, I think that really captures the soul of what this whole franchise is about. But also, I think he's my MVP,
Starting point is 00:19:36 but the most surprising underdog of the story, ironically, is actually Linda Carlini as Velma. I think she did a really great job. Fully agree. Yeah, she was unexpectedly, good and i like that was something that my childhood brain did not really remember but yeah just her as an actress her capturing that energy and capturing that voice yeah super i'll say that she's probably the most relatable for sure definitely i feel overlooked underlooked undervalued yeah i can read
Starting point is 00:20:04 abenstein abenstein arts abenstein arts with thank you so much uh we appreciate you for the question oh you remember you remember to thank i did you know you're super duper dog with scooby-doo being adapted into live action what other cartoon shows should be adapted into live action and should there be a crossover and what would it be about that's a great question what other cartoons should be adapting to live action yeah um that's really hard i think impossible would be a really good one because i feel like that's actually doable they do that they did that a couple times yeah a movie yeah they did a live action movie They did.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Disney Channel. Is it good? I don't think so. That's terrible. That's too bad. You can tell us though. I don't, I think I saw it once when it came out. I think they did two of them, but I don't really remember.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Oh, my God. I had no idea. Oh, yeah. I want a live action Danny Phantom cartoon. I think that would be really fun. Do you know Danny Phantom? Mm-mm. So Danny Phantom was a Nickelodeon show.
Starting point is 00:21:10 It's about this high school kid who's parents were ghost hunters, and then he accidentally gets sucked into the ghost. machine and then becomes half man half ghost and he fights ghosts oh yeah it's like a ghost superhero weird yeah that sounds fun it's super cool uh and i would want that to cross over it would never happen but with jake long american dragon so that was like the the Asian guy and his family on Disney channel and instead of turning into a ghost he turns into a dragon because his family are also dragon so I want the ghost superhero and the dragon superhero to team up But one's on Nickelode and one's on Disney Channel
Starting point is 00:21:48 So it'll never happen But that's my dream It's my childhood dream Also Ben 10 to cross over with the Teen Titans Ben 10 was a little alien He was like a little boy with an alien watch And he had different aliens in his watch And he can turn into different aliens with different powers
Starting point is 00:22:00 Oh fun Yeah I know that franchise is huge It's a big franchise Yeah I didn't really grow up with too many cartoons That were like outside of like comic book cartoons You know like Superman and Batman And X-Men and Spider-Rail
Starting point is 00:22:12 I didn't really watch too many of cartoons outside of that. What about a... I was like Max Steele which they attempted a movie before I watched
Starting point is 00:22:18 I don't know that I remember Max Stowe vaguely Yeah there's Watch a Flintstone's movie? No I haven't seen Flintstone
Starting point is 00:22:25 I didn't watch any Flintstones growing up harder There's parts of this movie I have The back of my mind The recesses of my memory
Starting point is 00:22:33 There's a Rocky and Bullwinkle movie Yeah I vaguely remember that existing But I don't remember Any other details about it
Starting point is 00:22:40 Yeah it's in that I believe Is he really Is he so I think of the right movie Like, I don't want to watch them. Oh, my God. Do you just want us to watch the Rocky Bowl movie?
Starting point is 00:22:49 It would be cool if they were able to successfully pull off a proper live action adaptation of Powerpuff Girls and not whatever the CW was attempting. Yeah, yeah, I think that would be pretty cool. I know, that's one I watched. I love Powerpuff Girls. Oh, really? Yeah, I was playing on ABC as Channel 7 out here in LA. Yeah, yeah, because it's mainly on cable and then they moved it to some network television.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I loved it. I loved Powerpuff Girls. I thought that was a great show. did you like saturday morning cartoons there's like a ton of one on there like i don't know like 90s spider man was on there the men and black show the men and black show yo i forgot about that yeah he's access to a part of my memory um not sure but these are good fix yeah and we got a last one here kev b thank you kev all right the magic gets sucked into the movie and have to take the place of one of the mystery ink crew who are you swapping with and what's your probably ridiculous plan for cracking the spooky island case well for sure i'm swapping with Shaggy. He is the one I can absolutely be.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And extra credit if your strategy involves Scooby Snacks a wild disguise are running away from monsters in the most over-the-top way possible. Okay. Plan for what's your probably ridiculous plan for cracking the spooky island case?
Starting point is 00:24:02 I feel like if they actually, if I was able to actually, you know, be the R-rated version of James Gunn and be like a total pothead, I think it would lend itself to a lot of creativity. I would have to
Starting point is 00:24:14 probably be Scooby snacking because the appetite would be going up constantly. Oh yeah. You know? And I think the paranoia would help
Starting point is 00:24:21 because I get really paranoid whenever I partake and I think the paranoia would make it easy to be like to keep the suspicion eyes going. And from running away from the monsters,
Starting point is 00:24:33 I probably wouldn't want to run if I'm right and I'd probably call an Uber to take me to some other side of the other I'm done dude I don't want any part of this
Starting point is 00:24:46 I feel like Shaggy's the most fun character to be of course he is I don't want to be Scooby then no but all the other ones yeah definitely be fine or be fun I feel like Vellman's the most competent out of all of them so I feel like she would solve it pretty efficiently
Starting point is 00:25:03 if it wasn't for everyone else that's part of the team I think that one thing I would like to see more of is like showing the different strengths of why these all need each other. Like, what is Fred good at that Velma's not good at and vice versa with all the other people? Because I feel
Starting point is 00:25:19 like if Velma was just cracking the case, this would have been solved in like a day. But if I were Shaggy, no, I'm going to, for fun's sake, I'm going to say I'm Fred. I'm going to try to charm my way through the residents of the island and then disguise myself as one of the
Starting point is 00:25:39 employees of the island. And And then get to the bottom of it. I would, I would bribe. I would, I would steal. I would, I would, if you're Fred, you could just sleep with every woman and get the answer to me. I would sleep my way to the top and solve it in 12 hours. Yeah, man, you could totally sleep your way to the top.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to dance and sleep my way to the top. I'll tell you solve mysteries, baby. Yeah. With sexual seduction. Well, thank you, Royal Rejects for submitting. these questions and i feel like we covered a lot of what we would probably want to talk about yeah i feel like you uh yeah and anything to talk about the characters i like that the mystery i
Starting point is 00:26:20 actually wasn't solvable like to cap off some final thoughts and uh yeah i mean like some of the cg i is like not good but i'm less peeved because of the genre and who it's aiming for in here and it actually lends itself to a bit of a charming thing to it i think the one thing that dates the experience is the soundtrack choices uh which feels very like movie marketing type of like studio thing to implement because wmg is and they have like a music label companies they can infuse to appeal um and yeah i guess like knowing the fact that there was an r rated version i probably i would like a more adult version though it's that would be a fun fun thing to experience and i heard like the outcry of like velma being gay and like the HBO show or
Starting point is 00:27:06 the mac show or whatever something like that oh the mailing one yeah i never checked that one out But James Gunn was attempting it before, way back when for Pioneer, baby. But there's nothing really like, I'm sure this movie's critically panned. But with the expectations that I had going in and it opened my mind up to wanting to experience more Scooby-Doo, didn't feel left out. I really appreciated the performances. It was funny. It was a really funny movie. I think in the last like 20 to 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:27:41 there are parts that kind of like drag a little bit some parts that where it's like it would be nice if there was a bit of actual stakes I think you know where you could feel some type of like sense of not like intensity but some type of sense of danger for the characters I think that would have helped
Starting point is 00:28:00 push this forward a little bit more in it to make it to make that last 20 30 minutes not feel at all have sections that drag not the whole thing dragged but certain sections did then i think it would have like helped elevate some of the uh experience but the crew had chemistry didn't feel like a chopped down experience i had a lot of fun um yeah so my it actually surpassed my very low expectations yeah yeah i uh i'm not seen this movie since i was a we lad came out in 2002 and i had a really good time with it i had a lot of
Starting point is 00:28:36 of fun. It's one of those movies that if you're just going into it with the intention of having fun, not taking it seriously as trying to be this like piece of media that's going to change your life. I think there's a lot of fun to have. I think it's an easy movie to pick a part if you really wanted to, but that's not
Starting point is 00:28:52 where we're here. We're here to hang out the mystery gang, have a little Scooby snack. You know, make a little love, get down tonight. I feel like we definitely did that. I think, you know, this movie might be it's one of those movies I feel like it's optimally enjoyed as either a child or be uh under specific uh circumstances uh involving some vegetables but you know
Starting point is 00:29:12 i for for not having being out of those camps right now i think i had a really great time all things considered fully agree man fully agree what did you guys think leave your comments down below thank you so much for joining us on this journey maybe we'll cover scooby you two we'll let you know you'll find out the royal rejects will find out first thank you guys for submitting your questions.
