Starting point is 00:02:58 Netflix. She's all that. I've never seen that one either. I think that's another Amanda Binds. I think I have seen that. I just forgot about it. Oh, the she's all that and he's all that. Oh, there's like a whole thing, huh?

Starting point is 00:03:10 It's a whole thing. You see the, the fonts are similar. Oh, I see it. Oh, I see it. Y'all, I've never seen 13 going on 30 either. I don't think I have either. Oh, wait. Wait, Tara.

Starting point is 00:03:22 Maybe I have. Have you seen the notebook? Yes. Duh. I haven't seen the notebook. Oh, my God. I love them. I want to watch the notebook.

Starting point is 00:03:30 Oh, I love the notebook. It's so good. Damn it. Listen, we have to talk about she's the man because it's a movie we just watched, Aaron. So do you have thoughts or what? Do have thoughts. I do have opinions about this movie. It was fun.

Starting point is 00:03:43 It was very 2000s. Very. Very, very cheese. It was very Amanda Binds and very Channing Tatum. It was, you know, listen, I thought it. It was lighthearted, campy, good old, classic early 2000s fun. Yeah. It's a little harmless movie, you know, no one's going to get mad over, she's the man.

Starting point is 00:04:12 No one's going to be up in arms. It's just like a, you know, it's a classic movie that I know a lot of people who grew up in the mid to early 2000s kind of grew up on. And yeah, I missed this movie as a child, but I'm happy that I've seen it now because now I can, if people make reference. to this movie i now understand them and yeah i thought it was it was a fun old time it was a good old time that that's the opinions i have in the meantime terry what did you think of the movie i mean i had fun too but there was there was something that uh was just lacking a little bit was just the pace because i was like wait these the things that they were going through i was like let's just like get to it but other scenes i was like oh i'm super engaged like with channing tatum awesome

Starting point is 00:04:56 Amanda Biden's accent going from, I don't know, Irish to Southern to, I don't even know what, did crack me up. Southern Irish to like, more traditional American. Yeah, like, that's great. Yeah, I guess to me, I each scene sort of individually was like, oh, this is fun, but I felt like I was watching a TV show, but it was like stringed together into a movie. So that made it, I guess, a little less engaging for me where I felt like, oh, should there be a commercial break now a little bit? I don't know why the pacing, something about it,

Starting point is 00:05:37 felt a little bit off. But there are some really, like, rewarding aspects of, like, it's fun to see Amanda Binds, like, she goes, like, way quirky, big, huge, broad comedy of, like, a lot of faces and, like, well, I don't know, man. I'm like, what do you think you, like, you want to do, you know? and I feel like that's a very rom-com thing and that we got a lot of that in the 90s

Starting point is 00:06:02 and early 2000s, but we don't really get that anymore, which is why I think this is like remains a classic. There's probably ways that there's movies that maybe have played with this before and possibly done a better job. Like the music cues in this awesome, right? We're like soundtrack.

Starting point is 00:06:18 But some of them are supposed to be real and I laughed when it would be like a music cue going into like make it. serious? Like, I still thought it was funny. And I was like, I don't know if they were really trying to make us like, really feel something. Because during those times, I was, and I was like, oh, this is funny. I get what they're doing here. But I mostly found this movie kind of sitting on the surface. Yeah. You know? Like, it touched on the things that a premise like this would, would ask, but didn't really, like, dive into them, which I don't think it was trying to do

Starting point is 00:06:50 that. Also, though I did have fun with the movie, I said it's like kind of a harmless movie, like it's something that people grew up with like early 2000s that are like in the late to mid-20s area at this point in life but I will say this movie requires to forgive requires you to forgive a lot or just like kind of like not really think about it because if you think about it too hard it kind of falls apart the fact that nobody caught her doing her changing or the fact that she's like in the mirror

Starting point is 00:07:21 in the bathrooms or I don't know just a lot of different scenarios And communication, they do that thing in movies were like, this could easily be solved with like a very simple solution just being straightforward. But because you have to keep up the ruse for some reason, it has to go further and then more complications ensue

Starting point is 00:07:39 because of that fact. So I will say that. I kind of touched on that as we're watching the movie. But yeah, I will say that's my general feelings in the meantime. I think that I got to sit with a little bit more. But I think it was, it was fine it was fun like imagine if they squeezed in like four of these scenes into a 45

Starting point is 00:08:00 minute episode you go that's good like if they sped it up like we already know what's going to happen from the start yeah to the end and there was still just some time on like the blonde girl likes him and it's jealous and stuff in the jam where you're like this feels like it's taking like just a little too long only because like the situational comedy stuff we got a lot of it And I felt like at a certain point in this movie, it started to play out a little bit where I was like, let's just get to it. But I feel like if somebody squeeze certain scenes

Starting point is 00:08:30 of this movie into 45 minutes, you'd be like, oh, that was fun. Like, way more fun. Yeah, I found it more just like, I didn't feel like it was a slog to get through, but I definitely found it more just like entertaining or just like on this level than I did like really funny

Starting point is 00:08:47 because it's supposed to be a comedy. And we did have our laughs here and there, but we didn't laugh a lot. It wasn't. wasn't like what we what you would assume this movie is of like ha ha oh my gosh you know it was just sort of like huh you know there's some stuff that's that's uh laugh out loud and in the beginning like amanda bines i was like wow that freaking accent is criss bonkers wackadoo wild but all of it was when they're put it was such big broad comedy that um some of it i was like this is too big for

Starting point is 00:09:17 what they're doing right now and i don't know why because broad comedy can work in the right circumstances, but with this movie, it only did for me in some of the circumstances. And I'm not sure why. That may just be like pacing and tone and maybe the story of just like, let's get to it. I don't know that they needed an hour and a half for us to get from where she started to where we ended.

Starting point is 00:09:40 Like an hour 40. It was an hour and 40? Hour 45 or something like that. Yeah, it's too long. It's too long. Like this should have been 1.30 and maybe we would have been like, wow because if you could cut 15 minutes off and you really like we need to like pump through these scenes a little bit quicker i don't know that's just my opinion i think it's interesting having i don't know

Starting point is 00:10:02 if this movie's pg did they cuss it all in the movie i don't think they did i feel like this was like a this feels like a pg 13 or a pg i think this would be something that would play on nickelodeon does it say the rating oh it's bg 13 pg 13 goofy corky comedy i feel like if this movie was made today there'd be a lot more social commentary peppered into it. Yeah, and I feel like she would be bisexual kind of how you said in the beginning. Like she'd probably look at her like,

Starting point is 00:10:28 oh, like, wait, you like me? Like, and she also likes a guy, but she likes the girl. They would play with that, right? Well, you did this come out? 2004? Does it say? It doesn't say.

Starting point is 00:10:42 I think it was early 2000s, though. She's the man. 2000, 2006. Oh, wow, 2006. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's still before all that, the social commentary, like what you're saying.

Starting point is 00:11:00 Like, we wouldn't have gotten there yet. Yeah. You know, like the most reason one that comes to mind that we've both seen independently, but bottoms. Yes. Oh, God. So good. That movie is peppered in with the social commentary, but also keeps that quirky feeling of a high school experience alive. So, yes, it's interesting that movies within the.

Starting point is 00:11:20 2000s era didn't really like they had concepts they wanted to keep it on the lighter side and I feel like maybe because of that comes across a little bit more fluffy which you know there's nothing nothing wrong with that I know a lot of people are really into this movie

Starting point is 00:11:36 but yeah I like I said I just I liked it I didn't love it I didn't think it was super duper funny but yeah I don't regret watching it it was yeah it was an enjoyable experience and that was kind of corny but yeah Hey, that's, that's the product of the times, guys.

Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah, you guys know it. Listen, we liked watching this with you. We love you. Leave your, leave your commas below. Let us know what you liked about it. Also, yes, on top of what he was saying about Bottoms. I think it's one of the best movies of the year. It's so freaking good.

Starting point is 00:12:09 So comparing, that's just like, they're in two different categories. But if so, if you haven't watched it, watch it, watch it. But this is fun. Let us know what you guys thought. We love you, you know, all the things. real reject t-shirt if you haven't already and do you have any last words you'd like to say to the people i thought she's the man you the man hey we did it we love you guys and we will see you on the next one bye
