See mintmobile.com.
Oh, yeah, no.
If there's one thing we can confirm is that we had a very different experience from everyone else who watched this movie.
Can confirm wrong.
Wrong and wrong.
We just watched Orphan First Kill
and the entire time we were convinced
that they shot that movie two years later.
It said it was actually 13 years later.
We should stop making any guesses.
This entire time we were like,
oh, wow.
You think people were shouting at us at home?
I was like, that's obviously Lance Bass,
Grang.
It sounds like him, right?
Roxy and I just do this to create engagement
in the comments.
You know, we actually knew the whole time.
We just wanted you to type away.
Go ahead and troll us.
And by the way, we deserve to be churled for this one.
If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, go ahead and leave us that five stars.
Don't troll us over there.
Give us that good comment.
Yeah, I remember.
I want to see all the nice things they have to say about us because we banned together.
We band together.
And we get rated five stars.
Well, for those who are listening, we watch trolls band together.
and we thought NSYNC was the cast the entire time.
Yeah, we did.
And it did happen.
It drastically affected my viewing experience because the entire time I was going,
man, the creative control Justin Timberlake must have had over this one is a while.
But it still has to be a commentary on that, right?
Otherwise, they wouldn't, they didn't want us to be thinking like that.
They wouldn't have had been five band members.
Oh, yeah, no, everything.
He could have three brothers.
The commentary making it about branch.
and it's Justin Timberlake
and his backstory
with being part of N-Sync
like, yeah, the entire time
they want you to think about it.
Did you have favorite brother?
I mean, Floyd.
Yeah.
Easily.
I like Floyd too.
He was good.
But they're all different and cool.
I did kind of miss
this being Poppy's story.
Oh, of course.
Sure.
Women's opinion here.
I needed a male story
to identify with.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like they should take
the franchise
that had male-driven.
direction I do love sister stuff though oh yeah I love sibling stuff this story it did affect me
okay go back for a second though so you were saying about this compared to the first one
you talk you talk but you were in the middle of a thought before I can remember my thought
okay I want to hear it um but I'd rather listen to you why because I want to be respectful
you don't want to troll me no I want to be respectful
I just want to know whether you like this one better or worse than the second one, the first one.
I would rank the second.
However, I do think there are things that I understand.
So one, three, two?
Yeah, but in terms of like a movie, but I do think the second one undoubtedly gives you more of what you probably want from a trolls movie.
Like that one delivers more on the goods.
It's more fun.
It's poppy story.
and there's a direction about this one
that the story itself
just kind of spoke a little bit more to me
and I do intentionally keep personal life stuff
out of videos for my reasoning
I know in this I said you and I both have siblings
and you went silent
yeah
well I love my siblings
never mind we have no siblings
we have different
do we have different
dynamics chemistry and dynamics
with our siblings and
back stories with our siblings
and so yeah like there are things
for branch that I'm like I really
I really get this
like there's so much about
like obviously I don't have like the same
backstory as brand but they're
the emotional undertones
and like the uncomfortability and
you know wanting to be close but
feeling like you kind of like shelf
and you don't really know how to be yourself
like there's so much about it that i really identify with and being a younger sibling too uh so
yeah like and i like how it had like different dynamics of of sibling stuff where the villains are
um you know like you have an older sister sibling dynamic but it's it's so much about like
even though you have family it's also about forming your own identity outside of your family as well
but also knowing how to be supportive on that path too
like I thought there was actually a lot of cool nuanced things
there's this like Pixar kind of does this thing nowadays
with a lot of their Disney I hear in general
kind of does this thing with their stories of like
don't just live under the thumb of your parents
like there's a lot of that kind of messaging happening
and I get what they're trying to do
and I thought this actually had a more nuanced version of that
and to a certain extent
by saying don't just live under the thumb
of your sibling?
Well, there was, I mean, that was that, clearly for the villains, but in terms of, like,
just the overall dynamics, especially for the boy band members and branch of, yeah, you have to
like...
Wow, it's like sunshine in my earhole.
That's a line right there.
That's what she said.
Yeah, geez.
You don't like sunshine in your earhole?
It's a very suggest it's a really weird lie.
I don't really like anything in my ear holes.
No, near do I.
except when I'm cleaning out my ear wax
I got one of those. Oh, you got one of those?
Yeah, because I get like a lot of earwax. Yeah, I think it's great, yeah.
But are you scared that you're going to hurt yourself? I want to buy one of those.
No, it's actually pretty easy. It is like, you get used to it, but when you first start using it, it is like, oh my God, I'm a damage in my ear.
I mean, I should always go to a professional.
I want to get one of those.
Yeah, they're great. They're actually like pretty affordable.
My birthday's July 13th.
Yeah, sure. You should treat yourself by buying yourself one on July.
what a present for somebody here
here uh unprompted i got you just noticed something about your
uh whenever we're hanging out your hair's tied up
what's up with the trolls earwax we don't know just who's to say
i totally get what you're saying though like i love the the Pixar uh
get out of your parents you know you could be your own person thing
but i do think that the trolls movies have had very strong messages for each movie right
And so it is hard for me to rank them.
It is really based on soundware,
but like personal preference and relation to characters, right?
Because the last one being, music is for everyone,
don't judge it, you know, your thing isn't better,
don't be the keeper of things, enjoy every,
that kind of the messaging behind that,
versus this one, which is about the power of siblings.
And I do love that Justin Timberlin,
that branch and all his siblings,
regardless of the fact that they were no longer,
close and seen each other in a long time every single one of the siblings when they found out
that one of them needed their help they all said yeah let's go and i think that is the the beautiful
message and power of family that it should be hopefully if you do have uh that family bond where
it's like it might not be your favorite person there might be a lot of past issues it there might
have been things that went down you might not talk to somebody in a while there might be
whatever backstory there is
but if somebody needs you
that's your sibling
and that's what I hope for all siblings
of course you hope more than that for siblings
you hope that they can be the best and best of friends
and luckily I have an amazing relationship
with my siblings to be able to experience that
but at the bare minimum
I think that what you hope for for siblings
is that when somebody needs you
you come running
and that's what we did see here
And even with the Poppy's storyline, with, was it Pia, Mia, Tequia?
What was her sister's name?
Shia.
Zia.
I don't know.
I felt like it was an I.
Don't remember what it was.
But with her sibling.
The hot one?
Camilla Beo.
You can't be calling her the hot one.
You're the hot sister, aren't you?
You know, there was that at first, Poppy asks for her, and she says, I can't come with you.
And that was out of fear.
And we see that was the wrong choice, right?
Like, you don't want to not go somewhere out of fear.
You've got to show up for your loved ones,
especially when they're asking.
And so then she does make that choice,
so you're able to kind of see both sides of it.
Anyway, sibling stuff really gets to me.
Sounds like you really didn't like this movie.
Really?
No, I'm just joking.
You're speaking with such, like, a fervor about the message.
Yeah, it just had a lot of meaning to me about siblings.
The whole movie was about siblings, right?
It was about the sibling dynamic of the pop story.
It was about the sibilic dynamic of Poppy and her sister.
I also love that when Poppy got there,
sometimes we know these movies harp on,
like, how did we get to this point?
We're estranged, are we okay?
I'm so mad at you.
Sometimes, instead of wasting time, just jump in.
If you want a relationship with somebody,
just F and jump into it.
And I did like that we didn't harp too long on that.
But just saying that,
it was all about siblings, about the brothers,
it was about the sisters,
and it was about the pop stars.
And we saw very different sibling dynamics throughout.
And what we saw is what works best is when you support each other.
Yeah.
It was nice.
I mean, I appreciate that this movie was trying to take a more mature direction.
I think the story itself is stronger.
The things that were kind of missing for me were, like, when the music was there, it's always great.
Like, I was, it's a weird, it's a weird dual feeling I have about the music in this movie.
because when it's there, it's like
I was so impressed with how they
executed the songs here. I kept
saying out loud like, who produced
the music in this one? Because this was so well
done. And it felt
different. Like it felt like the other
ones, I don't
want to downside because I thought they were great in the other
ones too. But they
did feel more like, yeah, the
Trolls remix version of them.
And this felt like I could just listen.
I would put this on
and just listen to it.
you know you could say the same thing about the other ones but to me that there was something
that felt more i don't know like a like a record produced version of it i really don't want
that it's not like i'm sliding the other ones the other ones no i get what you're saying
because i mean i can't stop the feeling from the first shows i listened i still like i found
that through the movie and i still listen to it um but overall like this the tunes here were just
you hadn't heard that song until the movie i don't think i might have heard it before but i don't think
I really
listen to it
until the movie
and yeah
so
but
it's it
the music is such a part
of the world
and I
and weirdly
even though it was
about getting
the band
back together
and all that
stuff
I didn't feel like
I kind of feel like
it
the musical
side of it
was not as
prevalent
as the other ones
were
is prevalent
prevalent
I think so
are those two different things
it might just be the pronunciation
yeah I'm not sure
do you kind of get what I mean though
about what I'm saying
I don't know I'm not asking you to agree I'm saying
you get what I'm saying yeah I do get what you're saying
and I can't quite pinpoint why though
something for me though was that this movie was much
darker and more upsetting to me
so I so desperately needed the music in this one
that I'm not even judging the quality or the differences between the last one
this one I just needed it you know like I was like give me that mash out because I'm sad right now
I guess I just I didn't succumb to the drama as much as like I was yeah I was really upset the
heartfelt stuff I was I got like I cried I got I got I cried a little bit too at one point
like I got but but it was more when I'm like touched by something you would get caught up in
the harrowing side of something and I would be really touched by something where you
you would be like, this is a miserable experience what they're going through.
And I never quite got there with the movie, whereas you would.
Wait, before you go to where, you know what's interesting is that the log line of the, Poppy discovers that Brantz was once part of the boy band Brozone.
And it's like, that's interesting or the summary, because that's what IMDB does there, the summary, right?
Poppy discovers.
And they want it in the first thing, it's Poppy's Discovery.
And it's like, this really wasn't about Poppy Discovery.
She is fully relegated to a supporting character.
Yes.
Like,
Viva,
that was Camel Cabo's name.
It's not even really,
oh,
Viva,
it's easy.
I said Mia,
Jesus grace.
It's not even that,
like,
Branch was more of an important supporting character.
Like,
you could really,
there is a version where you could have done this movie without poppy.
Yeah.
And, like,
I like her storyline.
And I like how you got a different dynamic,
again,
the siblings who reunite who meet each other for the first time.
And it is just, we just love each other so much.
I thought that was so funny.
It was so funny to me because, yeah, with Branch, you would expect,
normally you would kind of get a bit of like, wait, who are you?
And you kind of go through the drama of that.
But I love how it was just a joyous experience.
And you don't actually see that a lot of movies.
Yeah.
I can't believe that was Eric Andre as John Dory.
That's wild.
That makes sense.
Kid Cuddy was Clay.
which one was clay you know the one with big hair that's the thing is like I don't I don't
personally feel like their personalities were distinct enough I kind of like like I don't
know I got my pushback as well I mean one was obviously more bossy and then you got Floyd who
was clay the one with the big hair that flowed backwards or was clay the one who
who had the hair like this or like this okay there's only one who was a little bit
forgettable to me he was the guy who ran the restaurant with the with the giraffe wife
that the one who were just naming but the the one who was with was that clay I might
have been the one who was a poppy's sister was bruce yeah Floyd we know John Dora we
know yes Bruce I thought he was actually a little forgettable
spruce was Bruce yeah who plays for who's Floyd he was great let's look at him up
Troy Savan yeah you know him I do I don't know I know I know I know I know
do who this guy scroll down scroll down scrollie scrollie I mean he was in a movie I saw
like 13 years ago I don't that's how I know him Idle the idol you know that big HBO show that got
slaughtered daughter yeah I actually thought she was good in it nobody else did okay
Christopher, wait, scroll down.
Christopher Women's Paze was King Grissel.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
They do a good job, Anderson Packers in this, too.
Wow, a lot of really cool voices, a lot of great music, a lot of good sibling stuff.
I don't like this franchise.
Just to sum it up where you would still rank this third.
You'd be honest.
No, no, I might be with you where it's one, three, two.
usually lie on camera you're known to be a liar you're a trolley polioli today huh you're i i keep
saying i'm going to be sweet and sincere than i i'm trying to commit commit to the bit
yeah the bit of being nice which makes it not sincere if you were troll design yourself for a second
what's your skin what's your hair okay my skin would 1,000% be
purple. I would be purple. My hair would be corn rose because you don't see any with
corn rose. What color? They would be green corn rose. I'd get a grill. I'd have a tattoo that
says damaged on my forehead. Oh my God. And then I would have a lot of tattoos.
Why are you the Joker? Um, Joker doesn't have cornrows. And and then I would also
damage green hair. I would also have angel wings on my bad.
I've got an angel wings.
Could you fly?
Yes, I'd be able to spray wings.
And my pants would be those painted pants
that when people go to the gym
and they do like TikToks,
they're like, hey, I'm actually wearing pants at the gym,
but they're just a spray on pants.
You know what I'm talking about?
No.
But they're not actually pants.
Are you kidding?
No, it's a real thing that people do.
They like spray the pants.
Like they spray it to look like they have pants on,
but it's really just like a spray on thing.
Where is there wee-wee?
uh
their underwear usually
so they're wearing underwear
is spray paint over
yeah
what the how are you making this up
no it's a real thing
if I was making that up
I would sell that idea
and become like really rich
Why would you sell that who buy that
that's so weird
influencers
Who influences the influencers
I know right
what would your what would your
what would your troll look like
was that not a perfect
transiting for you to talk about our shirts.
It's so late in the video, no one's going to care.
What was the, what was the, what were your troll look like?
Um, have we seen any yellow trolls?
No.
Maybe yellow and gold.
Spray paint pants, my dude.
No, no, spray paint, um, what is it called?
Leggings.
I literally saw this one girl.
She's like an influencer girl and she went to the gym and then she got kicked out because
she did a whole it was all the whole thing was obviously set up so she could get kicked out
where like a guy was complaining being like you're obviously not wearing pants this is inappropriate
and she's like these are pants it's like but he knew what they were that it's like spray on
design it's a real thing i think we should go go yeah i think we're done no i'm telling you
think we're good i think i'm gonna milk i'm gonna bleed your your runtime two hours exactly
I think, you've trolled me enough.
Yeah, I think I do go one, three, two still.
I think I go one, three, two.
But I did like two a lot.
I've liked all of them.
I don't know where they go from here.
I like the new character of Viva.
I would like to explore their relationship.
It's pretty awesome.
I want to go back to focusing on puppy.
Puppy.
I want to know about Poppy's dad and why he never looked for the daughter.
Those are my thoughts.
They do.
I think the one thing is that, yeah, I'll know with this.
I feel like.
The movie was at times at a bit of a...
I didn't really like the villains, honestly, in the movie.
I like the idea of the...
They were really upsetting.
I like the concept of the villains, but I don't like that.
I thought they were kind of, like, dull and annoying.
They were frustrating, but not in a complimentary way.
Like, I like the commentary they had that was, like, poking fun at this type of musician that exists nowadays that becomes famous via social media.
I get it.
There's no way that was Amy Schumer's singing voice, right?
Probably not.
Who's voice with that?
I could have.
I have no idea.
Very good.
But I do think this particular one,
while I would rank it above two,
I do feel like at times the storytelling
becomes a, also the animation
I thought was exquisite, is
a bit at odds where they
want to kind of go a little bit more with the drama
like a Pixar movie or
like some of their other DreamWorks films
that do take the time
to go a little bit more bold with their drama
and characterization. But then they
go but we're the trolls franchise so we got to like uh move past this a little quicker and uh you know
yeah when i felt that they were actually wanting to to dive in more to that uh emotional stuff
so that's the only thing i think it's possible if i saw two third that i would like two better i don't
know i'm going back with my head over and over can you put your leg behind your head right now are you
able to i don't know i am a jean let's try it i'll help you
I didn't even, I don't know why, my, listen, this thing, so I was using this, the rolly thing on the ground and at some point one of your cats went inside so I couldn't roll and so I, my legs, I was hovering them and then they got, we gotta get out of here. Thank you so much to our favorite trolls. No, you guys aren't trolls, you're rejects and that's what makes you the best. So band together, leave a comment, let us know what you thought, and we'll see you for, what are we doing next?
Let us know what we're doing.
Terrifier.
What is that?
It's a kid's movie about a clown.
Really?
Yeah.
Called Terrifier?
Yeah, that's the giveaway that I'm messing with you.
See you for Terrifier.
Droll's audience.
