On June 18th, 2023, Ocean Gates' Titan submersible imploded during an expedition dive to the Titanic,
killing all five on board, including Ocean Gate founder and CEO Stockton Rush.
Numerous industry experts and employees from within Ocean Gate itself had warned Rush of impending doom,
citing safety concerns and a lack of testing.
His hubris, ego, and reckless desire for innovation over all else cost him his life,
and that of four others. The catastrophic destruction of the Titan submersible sent shockwaves
through the ocean exploration industry that are still being felt today. The Ocean Gate Titan
Submersible, a preventable tragedy, a two-part series available now on shipwrecks and sea dogs.

And yeah, those are all the things.
Those are all the housekeeping.
But before we get to the questions,
we're going to check in with how we're feeling with my fellow sisters.
We have just been through another act.
Sister John.
Sister married Aaron.
Sister Mary Tara.
Oh, Lord.
How you feeling that?
I'm feeling blessed this day.
You know, I'm grateful for the bountiful host of entertainment and song that we've been privy to.
This was a joy.
I think the first movie might still edged out in terms of being truly iconic.
But as far as like sequels go from a time before sequels were like the thing that we do when anything is successful, this could have when so this could have gone any number of ways.
And I really liked it.
Like I think the first movie might be a little tighter, a little more iconic.
But like this pulled me in just as much with a really, you know, it's a type of story that you're used to seeing.
But I thought the way that they did the story was really nice.
and I really enjoyed, you know, the core elements of what the sister act movies offer you,
which is, you know, it's the song, but it's also, you know, the sort of communal spirit
that grows through the experience of both the song itself, but also the everyone being the sort of fish out of water in a, you know, tight situation
and forced to kind of open up and band together with each other.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought this was a joy.
Ah, Sister Tara, what do you think?
I mean, I loved it.
I'm going to be honest with your.
y'all I feel like I like this one a little bit more,
but it's because we got more singing,
more Goosephum City.
When Lauren Hill, when they cut to Lauren Hill leaves a choir,
but then she's in there with her friend,
and they sing that song with them on the P&O.
I cannot, but there's so many more moments.
Like we get at least like,
maybe in Sister 1, we get like maybe four moments.
I felt like we had a little less.
I love Sister Act,
but I'm telling you right now for Sister Act,
who they came through for me.
Because it still was GooseBump City.
I could be with you.
And we got so many great songs.
And we like every time they finished it, I was like, that's so much fun.
You're convincing me.
Now I'm like, maybe this is my favorite sister.
You might be swinging over.
What about you?
You know, I like both of them a lot.
I think that's kind of...
That's good because actually Disney is telling us that if you liked Sister Act 2, you might
like Sister Act 1.
You just might, you know.
We'll watch it back to back to your favorite.
comparison. No, but what I'll say is, I'll maybe split the difference between the two of you.
I think Sister Act 1 is a stronger narrative, but I think Sister Act 2 is more fun. I think it has,
I think they both have a good amount of heart, but I like the fact that it's about this character
who was on the run or doing witness production in the first one, who now gets to speak to the youth,
this disgruntled, disorganized youth, and brings them all together unified. And, you know,
Yeah, with some beautiful songs and love Lauren Hill subplot.
Yeah, I feel as though that the nuns sort of took a seat back in this one.
I really liked their characters and how prevalent they were in the first one.
But I think the characters we got to take, you know, the front seat,
in addition to Whoopi Goldberg, were also very good and very entertaining.
And I like seeing the youth, the high school kids of the 90s in the early 90s.
So it was, it was, but it was great time.
Both of them are really, really fun.
And, yeah, I was really impressed by the fact that one, the one and two were so different, two, that this took place one year.
This was created one year after the first one was made.
And it doesn't do that thing where Pete's the beats the first one.
It's just a good time.
Just a great time overall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like they came up with something that makes a lot of, they came up with a sensible way to bring her back.
And the motivation from the sisters to do it makes sense.
Yeah.
And it's like not a completely dissimilar scenario, but it doesn't, yeah, feel like a retread or anything like that.
Like it really makes sense why they would pull her in.
There's opening in the music teacher, you know, role.
And after everything they've experienced, I was like, yeah, this seems pretty sensible as a setup.
Yeah, it was sensible as a setup with, it didn't have the same sort of subplot of the cop and the,
you know her being on the undercover or whatnot but you know i feel like the drama they replaced it
with was still one or you felt the stakes and you wanted them to succeed and the way that they set it up
so quickly and the way that they ended it so quickly while also being very intentional with the
stuff that they kept in the movie i thought was really impressive like this was a a tight movie under
two hours and it moves very quickly and you don't feel like you yeah you missed a whole lot i think
would have been maybe nice to get a little bit more of the other kids but i think what we did get
was still very entertaining and served its purpose in a way that made it feel fulfilling.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would agree.
It's like, you know, it's, again, a kind of classic setup.
It's like, oh, the teacher's going to come in.
There's an unruly class and somehow she's going to whip them in shape.
This didn't feel like a cliche version.
I guess like the cliche maybe comes after movies like this.
But yeah, this didn't ever feel like cliche.
And there were times where I'm like, yeah, you could dive deeper into any of these kids.
but I still appreciated the ensemble drama as well as, you know, the certain people we got highlighted on.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
Completely.
Well, without further ado, let's get into our Patreon questions today.
Absolute vodka.
All right.
Let's start with J.D.L.
When the choir finally finds its rhythm, do you think it was more about Dolores teaching the music or more about her helping them believe they actually had something worth saying in the first?
place. I think it's
yeah, to me it's more about
the confidence and the ability
to pay attention to
and listen to and work with
one another. It's, it's, I think
the confidence in the community were the really
big drivers and then some music theory.
I'm sure alongside all of that
is what I would say.
What you, Tara? Sister Mary Tara. Yeah, I mean,
the whole like la la la la la is
her like instilling in them
like your octaves, right? Like here's all
the notes that you're going to have to eventually sing
and the rest of it is like but you do have something
to say and the fact that they're so
good she had to give them
some sort of like bump in the butt which
was good and she did it and I thought it was
it's just so fun. Yeah
I think it was more about
her you know helping
the kids and helping them believe in themselves because
yeah I feel like
getting her in her believing the fact
that she can teach these kids was probably
her arc. I feel like her arc was more
understated than it was in the first one but I think it was really about
her helping the kids.
So yeah, that's what I
would feel. That's what I say. But yeah,
thanks for the question, Jayneau. Really appreciate
you. All right. Johnny,
we'll take this one. Jane, Sister Mary,
Jane Gwynn, thank you for chiming in.
How do you think this movie did adapting
itself to a younger choir?
Personally, I like seeing the nuns as teachers
at Dolores' old school as it gave her a
fun and believable reason to come back. I would
agree. P.S., when Amal
hits that note during, oh, happy
day. It was unscripted, so everyone's reaction was completely genuine.
Holy shit.
That's awesome. Damn. What a, what, how, how you must feel after a take like that.
Wow. Go off King. I'm shocked. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's, that's
impressive. And, uh, and I, yeah, I liked him a lot. Uh, no, I mean, I, I would agree with you.
I think the, this felt, again, like a, a lot of, you know, we're so used to sequels and there are all sorts
of contrivances people come up with, but this felt very naturally like, oh, yeah, she's returned
to her normal status quo headlining in Vegas.
And because she built this connection in the last movie and because the sisters had this
experience and because, yes, she has the personal connection to the school, it just felt
like a real life proposal rather than some kind of, yeah, like contrived silly movie
scenario.
Yeah, I'd have to agree.
I think it was a lot of fun, yeah, seeing, I forgot the whole detail about it.
her going back to her own school.
But yeah, I think it was really cool
getting that full circle moment
of, you know, she was delinquent
in class and now she's helping
these delinquents to become better
and come into themselves. So that
in and of itself was really awesome. And yeah,
getting to go back to
the early 90s and seeing like the flare
of, you know, what kids were like back
then and like with the style and
you know, how they
were able to, you know, come together.
It was great. You know, it was
both movies are heartwarming and have heart but do it in different ways.
And I think that, yeah, infusing this movie with the spirit of the youth of the time really adds some extra pizzazz to the story.
Yeah, I think in adapting itself to a younger choir, I think the way they did that was perfect because we needed to see that.
Now we're dealing with a choir of kids who can actually sing, right?
That's why when we open it up, each one of them is like, oh,
a wawa, they can actually sing where we didn't really have that with the nuns.
Like they can, they can, but not in like a goose bump city where it's like one after the other.
So I think in adapting itself to the younger choir, it did a perfect job and it was great casting.
Well, and they did, I think it's, I think it is tricky when you are applying the voice of the youth to music that is not immediately compatible.
And there are really cringe versions of this that.
exist. But I thought they did a pretty
nice job by and large
making the more youthful
elements of the tone that the movie's
going for and the voice that the kids
especially bring to it.
It still felt relatively,
there were certain times where especially like
Frank A throwing down a lot of yoes
where I'm like, okay,
we can tune this down a little bit.
But yeah, and
like the original movie, they update
the gospel music to be more
soulful. And I
found that to be really natural. And here, again, I think it's a really tall order, especially
on from the 90s where this has only happened more and more, where you kind of hip hopify music
that isn't necessarily that in effort to be like, hello, fellow kids. And I feel like this did
about as good of a version of attempting to blend those elements together as you could hope for.
Like it felt real. It felt natural. And like there are times when it's a little hammy,
but that's part of the joy, you know, rather than it being like, oh, like, who's,
Why are you all trying to act hip and force it on us?
You know, and I didn't think it fell into that trap.
So, hats off.
No, no.
I think it did a great job of, I think, did I speak already?
Yeah.
You and Nicky's on this.
We can respond to me.
We can have a conversation.
Yeah, we can have a conversation about it.
No, I think I did a good job of, we're on the last one.
We're going, yeah.
Yeah, I think he did a great job of showcase.
case in that. And yeah, that note was crazy. You did a phenomenal job. Yeah, that was cool.
Here. Yeah, dude. Cheers to you. All right. Terrah.

Nikki Sunrise.
Hello, now that you've seen both movies, which one is your favorite and why?
Which performance is stood out to you the most in this one?
Lauren Hills is to stand out to me, not only because she has a phenomenal voice,
but also because I love how well she portrayed the teen struggling with embracing her natural
talents versus her parents' expectations for her future.
It felt very real to me.
Great.
Totally.
Yeah.
You know, I'm thinking about both of them and, you know, as we just watched it, I think overall, I'm going with the first one a little bit more, even though I did really enjoy this one.
But I think the fact that it was a story about this lounge singer who was like a mistress and then she had to go to the church to save them.
And then the nuns had to go against the mob bosses.
that whole thing was just so wild and outlandish
and I feel like this one
The first one was more unexpected for me
And this one felt like more like a
Not like a Disney Channel movie
But I don't know I guess more youth friendly I suppose
It's a more familiar genre
I think like there's still a save the rec center
Kind of vibe to the first movie
But I think the first movie has this beautiful blend of like
A classic high concept that allows
Again for a movie that can play to
multiple types of audiences but that never sacrifices the things that it's doing and because
because we've seen a lot of movies where like people come in and try to inspire and mold a
and really group of kids having it be like this group of nuns in the first movie is there's just so
many disparate elements that are working together that aren't tropes of a genre as much and so i feel
like the original movie is more original but as such you know this though that though it has like a very
familiar setup that we've seen a thousand times
after this and since. I think Bill
Duke did a really nice job directing it in a way that
doesn't feel like the millions of movies
that take after this plot line.
You know, this could
feel like a break-in movie or something like that
and it doesn't quite and
yeah, it's interesting
the way that, I don't know,
yeah, I would say like they're both, I'm chuffed
that this is as good as it is and I think
it lives really nicely up to the original
one, but I think the original one just has, yeah,
that slight ounce of like
inspired unexpectedness.
Yeah. I'd also say
Lauren Hill is probably my
standout as well. She was the first, the only
character that really had a prominent
subplot. But also
the homeboy who was the
Hotev, who had the amazing voice.
I liked them. That was great. Yeah, I liked him.
What about you? Yeah, I agree. I think
that with teens
always, this is like just a common
story of struggling with like
embracing their natural talents, whether it's
like cool or not, for an
also their parents' expectations for their future.
Like I know a lot of people.
So I also agree with that, even though that was never my thing.
I, I don't know.
I'm fortunate enough that I didn't have to deal with that, but I know a lot of friends did.
So I like that they brought that here.
And I also agree that it felt very realistic.
And sincerity chose the other two to break out performances.
I'll just say, the girl that we first go on, and she's like,
can I show you something real quick?
And she goes like, if you're going to be somebody and you're like, what?
That was like, you already know at that point that this movie is going to be so much fun because they get to it like really quick.
And I love that.
And so still for me, I agree with what they're saying.
But I'm going to go with two for me was a lot more fun because what I want is more singing.
And I wanted to be Goosebump City singing and that's what I got.
So I loved it.
uh yeah i mean i cannot state anything better than you guys have suffice to say i mean you know
lauren hill is like the other it's like if there's a lead it's whoopi goldberg and then if there's
another lead it's lauren hill and then there's the ensemble around everybody else so uh aside from lauren hill
who is tremendous i would say mr crisp definitely spoke to me i really identified with his
struggle and i'm really sad that they were able to vanquish him by the end i didn't really expect like a
sad ending to the movie you know this is one of the rockies where he doesn't win you know no
Mr. Chris dessert better.
Mr. Chris, he's just a real hero.
He was out here trying to fight the good fight and get his retirement going.
I can't.
I really enjoyed, you know what, who hasn't been mentioned, but who I was chuffed to see
because I've been seeing a lot of her lately.
And I like that she brought this jazziness, Alana Ubach, just cool to see her in a young
form because I'm so aware of her as, you know, her work since this.
Also, I just want to shout out Mary Wicks, his sister, Mary.
Lazarus. She's in so many
classic films and she's great
in those classic films but I
adore how fun
she has been to watch in both of these movies and it makes
me so happy.
So yeah, but you can't really pick a
bad character. So that one freaky father
who's getting like in the weird facial expression.
Freaky dad man.
Freaky dad.
Yeah, freaky
father. That's right.
That's right. With the
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The guy
was driving, yeah, who I couldn't tell what his allegiances were.
I couldn't tell if he was, there were times where he seemed like he was on board for the cause
within the school.
And then there were other times where he seemed like really pleased to foil Whoopi Goldberg's plans.
I could, chaotic neutral, that guy.
He's playing all the size.
Yeah, he can't trust him.
You cannot trust him.
Oh, yeah.
All right, let's get to the next one.
Sister Awesome Joe's movie reviews.
Yeah.
Glad you guys are watching.
in the sequel when Disney Plus first released it back in 2019,
they announced that they were going to do a sister to act three.
Well, obviously they never got to it,
but I would love for it to still happen.
Are there any movies you guys enjoyed in the past
that you would love to have seen a sequel to that never got one,
but might?
For example,
2017's Power Rangers or Zach Snyder's Justice League part two?
Blues Brothers 2.
Your thoughts?
We kind of got that technically.
Did we get Blue Brothers?
There's Blue Brothers 2000s.
We never watched it, though.
it exists but we
and I have never seen it
let me think
Boulon Rouge too
Ooh
I'm certainly to watch that one
I would love to watch that
That's a good one
Breakfast Club too
The lunch club
Do every meal of the day
No it's all the original cast
But this time they're stuck in the DMV
Okay
How about 30 years later
I'll go Demolition Man 2
Or maybe Street Fighter
The 90s movie too
Ooh
They're all
this is the kind of question designed to cook my brain oh easy nice guys too nice guys too
yeah it's a crime there's no nice guys too yeah i agree with that i'm sad yeah and i mean i want
that i like i would still be down for sister act three i'm sad that they teased us with it that's
even more egregious is it is it is i look it up test thank you yeah i'm gonna look it up on my phone
but uh yeah definitely zach sniders power rangers part two for sure nice guys three tasum
three. I want Andrew Garfield
to get another shot. Yeah. I want...
Yeah. Sister Act 3 is currently in development with
Disney Plus. With Whoopi to
replies her role.
I think Geeky Palmer is attached too.
Really? I believe so.
Okay. If I remember that correctly from last time I read.
Let me keep looking. Continuums
to the thing. All right. Yeah, there's so many
good ones. And I'm sad that it didn't come
out back then, but
hopefully, you know, we can still
get something that's
that's entertaining and still true to the spirit of the first two movies.
Yeah.
I also dread two with Carl Urban,
even though I don't really remember the first one,
I just remember it being really entertaining.
I think The Mist two.
Yeah, totally.
Stephen King's The Mist Part 2.
Freaking, what was the one that you just put up there?
The still shot of them all still dead.
Constantine 2, we need that.
Yeah.
Oh, we need the freaking 3 of, oh, Hancock 2.
Dude. Oh, galaxy.
Sorry, I'm looking at a list of movies that deserve a sequel.
Actually, I would watch the Elite of Battle Angels.
Oh, please, yeah.
Hopefully we get that one day.
And I would watch another national treasure any day now.
Like, Nicholas Cage seems like he has a blast watching.
Hitchhiker's Guard of the Galaxy.
I don't remember that movie at all, but remember of being really weird and whimsical.
Dude, I've got to see it. I've read the book.
She's producing it with Tyler Perry, just so, you know.
I'm going to joke that.
For Sister Act 3, he's attached.
Ironic.
He's directing it?
No, no, he's helping produce.
Oh, okay.
The guy from high school musical, he's directing it.
That's going to...
Tim Federal.
Okay.
That's going to be fascinating.
All right.
This, it's going to ironically be the most Jesus-oriented sister act movie.
Yeah.
These movies aren't actually as preachy.
Like, they espouse a very Christ-like set.
of values through their acts, but they aren't
actually taking a lot of time to be like, y'all gotta
go church, which is fascinating.
Yeah. So we're finally going to get
that. Yeah, they walk an interesting line with that.
Is Medea gonna be in the choir?
We'll see. We'll see. Is we'll be going
to fight Medea? Who knows? I hope.
All right, let's go on to the next question.
We have a couple more left, guys.
Sister Mary Maurice Gray, Jr.
What are your thoughts on Dolores's
teaching style? I loved how she won
their respect, starting
with that well-placed
yo mama joke hitting the parked car
love to see it
I think your teaching style is
greatest she does a great job
of meeting the students or meeting the nuns
where they're at and then building from
there will encourage them with a little bit of flare
a little bit of humor
yeah she was great
yeah I think she was just very real like down to earth
like listen let's not screw around
you're gonna respect me but I'm also going to respect you
I like that I was like
I feel like if more teachers maybe just like
started with that, maybe they would have success, but I doubt it.
Teaching is like the hardest thing in all the world, but I liked her teaching style.
Absolutely.
I mean, I feel like, again, she, I think they tempered it nicely.
I think nowadays you get a much more outlandish, like she's really talking back to them.
But I thought they wrote the line really well, both of just her initially being met with such resistance and then gradually earning their respect or at least gradually beginning to get through to them.
Like I think there's a lot of really nice
like subtlety of tone
that grows well across these situations
and I think that's also to do with
the way that they wrote and she performs
the writing of her teacherly
you know, demeanor. And yeah, it's like
she's willing to give it back to them and to crack a joke
here or there and I like that she's
willing to kind of like
be a bit of a dork in front of them when it's
like stuff that she cares about. So yeah,
it's like I like that this wasn't super
cliche but that she was still able to be
like, hey, I went here and I know
I'm not like the other nuns in terms of my experience in my worldview.
I've got a little more jadedness that I can apply to this.
And it doesn't just like do the trick immediately,
but it did feel real and nice.
I like the tone there.
I wholeheartedly agree.
I don't think she medead them enough, though.
She should have been like beaten on all of the kids.
Oh, yeah.
With love.
We need more wire hangers, more grits in the next one.
Yeah, yeah.
She should have dumped a hot pot of grids on every kid.
until they sang.
You need like a hot grig gun.
Yeah.
You need one of those pool guns that you just load up.
It's just a tube with a plunger.
But yeah, yeah, I just want to spray hot grits.
I love a grit and now I want some grids because they're fucking tasty.
Yeah, my mom makes mean grits.
I'll have to learn it and make you some grits.
Mail me some.
Yeah, all right.
I think we got one last question here.
And then we may have some.
but trivia after that, a little quickie.
Let's do it.
Tara, get them.
Dear Rush, Dan, question, what voice range are
rejected, singing tone ranges are listed?
Alto, soprano, tenor, and bass.
I am a mezzo, soprano.
I don't know what I am.
So it's not only just those.
I'm a matzo, soprano.
J. Brush, done.
I don't know if everyone here would
know, but, I mean, you would know.
Like, Alto's, like, lower bass is, like,
even lower, tenor, like, little by higher,
soprano. Yeah, you do that.
Alto's, isn't, there's a song in a,
in a show that's all about having to sing alto,
and it's all about how it's like it's the mid-range
register that the most people can hit
because it's not super low or super high.
Exactly.
I feel like I'm probably in the sort of alto heading toward tenor-ish.
Okay, I like that.
Like I can't sing that high in my chest voice.
But that would make sense.
Tener high, that's really high.
It's, yeah, but not as high as soprano.
Love you.
There you go.
It's easy cause you're beautiful.
Couple sopranos here.
Look at them go.
Look at them.
Wow.
Wow.
I'm never going to give you a job.
I mean, I feel like you would be heading towards maybe some bass in there.
Yeah.
Yeah, when you're not doing the head voice, when you're singing your chest voice.
Yeah.
I can sing.
I know.
Because it's not falsetto.
I can see clearly now.
The radio.
He's gone.
Come on, guys.
Come on, guys.
There we go.
Oh, I thought.
There we go.
All the things that I'll sing for you and I think to myself.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty low.
What a wonderful world.
I don't know.
I think I was off.
Good job.
Yeah.
Well, that was good.
Thank you.
That was low.
So, my both, my soprano and a.
Yeah, you guys are both.
If you had that crazy range, you go like to the deep bass all the way up into the like.
Yeah.
The thing is like, I don't know what the qualifications are for when you have to switch out of chest voice into falsetto.
That's kind of why I said mezzo-soprana because I'm more of a belter, not a like head voice girl.
You know, you make me feel like dancing.
Or want to dance a night away.
I didn't know how to get sang quite with the songs.
It's okay, trivia.
We got one live.
Trivia.
J. Dale's trivia.
The big finale song, Joyful, Joyful, was arranged in a gospel hip-hop style specifically for the movie.
And it became so popular that many real schools in church choir started performing that version.
That's what he said.
That's what happened to us.
Wow.
That's what happened to us.
That's wild.
What was her name?
Because there was a girl who sang essentially like the lead, the Lauren Hill part, the part that you need someone who could do runs to do.
Yeah.
And the rest of us.
I remember being like, oh, this is a way more fun version of normal, joyful, joyful.
They stole it from the movie.
They influenced John's life.
They didn't even know it.
They stole it from me.
There was one trivia that you did pull up that it said that Lawrence Hill, when she was on the basketball court and she wrapped, it was all improvised.
It was a freestyle.
I was going to say, there are, before we get out of here, there are, there are a couple I and beneath facts.
Whoopi Goldberg's daughter, Alex Martin, appears, as.
one of the classroom children. She says the yo mama joke about Skittles.
What?
Yeah, and then Lauren Hill's rapping on the basketball court was a freestyle, pretty crazy.
The famed high note that Ryan Toby, Amal hits during a Happy Day, is the high E flat, which is apparently one of the highest and toughest notes to hit for singers and vocalists.
16 years old at the time of shoot in the movie.
Internet rumors persisted that Whoopi Goldberg was very unhappy making Sister Act 1992 and made this sequel only after Disney.
and he decided to finance her dream project, Serafina, in 1992.
However, Serafina debuted at Cannes before Sister Act open in theaters.
Okay.
Fascinating.
Golly, freaking, oh, Ben, we got the Bill Duke cameo.
That was really nice.
I think he did a really nice job directing this.
Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't have ever expected it, but I think that, yeah, as a veteran actor himself,
you know, this movie doesn't have, like, a crazy in your face style necessarily,
but it did have a lot of flavor
and some interesting shot choices
that aren't getting in your face
but yeah it was very gracefully paste and toned
so I thought you did a nice job.
This seems like a joke I just have to tell you, wait,
go back, just go back real quick to the spoilers.
Oh.
I'm sorry, this is in the spoiler section, y'all.
Someone commented this.
Maria says she doesn't know
Mary had a little glam yet several students
before her sung the same lyrics.
Clearly she knows how to.
sing the same lyrics as her classmates.
Is that trivia?
That is what they wrote
and they claimed it as a spoiler.
Well, I would put that in the goofs
if I was going to contribute that at all.
That's the most hilarious piece of trivia
I ever read.
That's very funny.
That is a trivia at all.
That's just an opinion.
I can't.
I'm like, maybe she didn't know beyond that first stanza.
They're trolling up here in IMDB.
Clearly, she knows how to say nothing.
She's lying.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh my God.
But I love this.
It was so fun.
Jennifer Lewis, just because you pointed her out, you know,
Vegas backup singer number one appeared in Sister Act as Michelle,
one of Dolores's backup singers in their Reno, Nevada Lounge, Act, the Ronnells.
As she briefly displays the same annoyance with her fellow singers during the Vegas act as
she did as a member of the Ronnels.
It's safe to assume she's playing Michelle, despite her character not receiving a name in the credits.
Yeah.
I was surprised to see her because Jennifer Lewis is in so.
much stuff. And so for her to show up
as an extra essentially, it's like a
feature, you know, she's
I guess singing counts for that.
This is fascinating because again,
you pointed around and I was like, oh, that's right.
I thought she would be a thing and
she's just in that one moment.
Totally. Just in that one moment.
Oh, dang. Well,
you guys, we have been through both
Sister Acts, Act 1
and Act 2. Let us know which one is your favorite.
Stay holy, stay singing,
stay joyful. And until next time,
we'll see you.
the oh happy day
oh happy day
okay
