SPEAKER_05 2:54

Hey folks, welcome to Did You See This with Rudy Martinez. I'm your host, Rudy Martinez today.

SPEAKER_04 3:00

Please introduce yourself.

SPEAKER_06 3:08

This scene rehearsed.

SPEAKER_04 3:10

This was not rehearsed.

SPEAKER_06 3:12

This scene's rehearsed. Like this seems like I wasn't a part of this conversation.

SPEAKER_05 3:19

There was no conversation, it's just I was good. You gotta know.

SPEAKER_06 3:26

I know you gotta introduce yourself. Extra green.

SPEAKER_05 3:42

Yeah. Believe it or not, we are actually all sober for the most part.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

I'm crying.

SPEAKER_05 3:48

I don't know about Bale. He's pretty intoxicated. I'm always sober. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so thank I hope you guys enjoyed that totally planned and rehearsed introduction. I'm sure it worked, and I'm sure you guys are all laughing, listening to this. But yeah, welcome back to the show. Today, as you all have rightfully heard, Kevin and Bale have returned to the show. We are here to we're breaking format a little bit today on the show. Instead of covering one movie and going deep on it, we're going to cover a genre of movies.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Classics.

SPEAKER_05 4:16

Classics, bangers. We're going to be talking about dance movies because there are quite a few. And we're going to focus primarily on the m the dance movies of the 2000s. There are some older ones from like the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but we're not going to go super deep in those. But we're basically here to investigate what happened to these precious dance movies of ours growing up. We felt like we had one every year, and you know, they were they were big movies for us at the time, and they've they've gone away. And I think we're gonna we're gonna kind of feel back. This is uh instead of this, this is not gonna be a movie podcast, this is actually a true crime podcast, and we're gonna find out who killed the movie, who killed the dance movie. We we need we need justice, just like our dancers. We need justice for dance movies and for Little Saint. And I hope I hope we get I hope we get both. I hope you guys enjoy the ride. We're gonna, you know, and and another kind of you know, a less funny reason as to why we're gonna cover several of these is because these movies aren't super deep on the plot. They're not the most uh they're not the most elegant films of all time. There isn't a there isn't a lot going on between the dance scenes and whatever is going on is isn't that captivating to discuss in depth for two or three, two to three hours like I do normally.

SPEAKER_07 5:24

We can't do a two-hour vodka on Steppo. No, we would on foot loose?

SPEAKER_05 5:29

Yeah, none of these movies. None of these movies, like there's there's a premise and it it's barely hanging by a thread. Like the plot is barely there. It's just to deliver characters to the next dance scene.

SPEAKER_06 5:39

Literally.

SPEAKER_05 5:40

But so we're gonna talk about a couple different dance movies today. We're gonna focus on a few in particular, but we'll we'll kind of go through a uh a list in release the like date order, like when they came out. But there's three in particular that we're gonna kind of focus on today, but we'll talk about all of them for a little bit. We help we all haven't seen all of them. We watched a few of them this week. Not all of us watched the same ones. We've all seen most of these, if if not in full, at least parts where we've seen dance scenes on YouTube. Uh that's usually what we do when we're usually when we're drunk together, we just go on YouTube. Yeah. Usually my living room.

SPEAKER_07 6:12

What did we do? Just watch dance scenes and then we ended up on Ben Affleck.

SPEAKER_05 6:16

Yeah, and then Kevin fell asleep, and then me and Bail were watching Ben Affleck work out in Batman versus Superman.

SPEAKER_07 6:20

Just to motivate us for the upcoming year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And look at us. It worked out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:25

We've all we've all lost some weight. Kevin's here wearing a blue bandana and a charger jersey and baggy pants. He's he's he's dressed to the role here.

SPEAKER_02 6:33

Yes, sir. You gotta take it back to the early 2000s.

SPEAKER_05 6:36

Yeah, I've got a big I've got a big piece of cardboard on the floor here. So after in in between recordings, we're gonna be freestyling after.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

Kevin. The gloves are gonna come out.

SPEAKER_05 6:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Not the gloves. Oh, you know which one I'm talking about, right? The gloves? Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_05 6:49

Duran's gloves? I don't know the names. D's gloves.

SPEAKER_07 6:52

I don't know the names in that movie.

SPEAKER_05 6:53

I I I don't either. I know because I watched these movies this week. I watch a few of these this week, so they're kind of fresh in the head. But honestly, none of these characters are memorable.

SPEAKER_07 7:02

I just Stomp the Yard is the one that's like I have the the hard.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:07

There's a lot of them, that's what I think.

SPEAKER_05 7:08

Get the hardy. Get the hard on for Stomp the Yard.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

I don't know that's not what I'm gonna say.

SPEAKER_00 7:13

It's alright, bro.

SPEAKER_05 7:14

So dance movies, man. This is a it's a particular, it's an interesting genre of film. So like like we kind of alluded to here, like these movies aren't very deep as far as story or character, for that matter. There's very thin plots, very thin characters, characters that you can really, really don't remember the names of any of these characters, they're not memorable. You know, and I was watching it, so I've watched a few of these movies today, and I was kind of amused at how similar a lot of them are as far as like the skeleton of the story. It's always some sort of like fish out of water, some character that is removed from their natural environment and put placed somewhere else where they don't fit in or don't belong, and the characters around them have to learn the lesson of how how it's okay to to dance street or ghetto. Um and there's you know, and and for whatever reason, dance is always life or death. Literally, characters literally die over dance.

SPEAKER_06 8:01

Bro, every single movie, someone someone dies, like what?

SPEAKER_05 8:06

It's just you know, but I get it, you know. Coming from, you know, I I used to be a competitive street dancer, and um I get it. So is Kevin. A lot of people a lot of a lot of lives were lost in the day, and that's why I don't battle anymore. Because honestly, because it was it was risky. I have a family now, I have to get home at night.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

But I used to go dance battle at Girl Park.

SPEAKER_07 8:30

Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_06 8:32

What were we doing, as kids?

SPEAKER_05 8:34

Hey, UA, I didn't. Hey, every freestyle. Every every dance battle was you know, you might not you might not make it home after it, bro. That's crazy. You break dancing and they're breaking bones, man. And we're not fucking around. Like people literally die because of this shit. They they had to kill Chris Brown because he was too good at dancing. The only way to be the only way they could beat Chris Brown at Stop the Yard was by shooting him.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Killing him.

SPEAKER_05 8:55

Yeah. He had to be murdered.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Bro, why? You were just too good.

SPEAKER_07 8:58

You can't you can't have someone Bro, but you can't give me like two minutes of Chris Brown cooking everyone and then just like ah, it's too good.

SPEAKER_05 9:06

That's why it was cooking. You can't the movie would have been five minutes if he would have stayed alive the whole time. There would have never been any of those problems at Stop the Yard.

SPEAKER_02 9:12

His team even said it. They ain't nothing without him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:16

He had to go. Yeah. You can't have someone that good at dancing out in the world, like in the world of competitive dance. It's sorry, it's too hard. It's it's not fair for the rest. He had to be taken off the board.

SPEAKER_02 9:27

It was like, why was that guy so gangstered out? Yeah, when we get to that, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:32

But I was yeah, I was so Stomp the Yard is the movie we're talking about. But in the opening scene of Stomp the Yard, the the main character and his brother's Chris Brown, and they have their crew, and they're battling this like these like the most gangstered I like did were they even dancing?

SPEAKER_04 9:50

Whoa, whoa, what was the guy with the was the main dude with the bandana even down? Or was he?

SPEAKER_07 9:56

He was dancing, but he was just doing like uh taunting. He was taunting. It kind of was like he was like the leader, but like not a like a good one.

SPEAKER_05 10:02

Yeah, no, it was like it was like a s a dance crew versus an actual gang. Yeah, that's what it was. Like it was for money, yeah. It was for money, but yeah. Yeah, because that's it was dangerous. They're like punched, they're like shoving each other.

SPEAKER_07 10:15

Like shoving and I was like, man, this is it's not even battling. It's like almost like playing. That one has a teardrop.

SPEAKER_05 10:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw it. He has a teardrop tattoo.

SPEAKER_02 10:25

Fucking wearing khaki dickies.

SPEAKER_07 10:27

How hard is it selling drugs that you gotta go dance by the time? Hey man, times are tough, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's not buying drugs that you gotta go dance? The drug game ain't. That's basically like a like a male stripper that doesn't get naked.

SPEAKER_05 10:39

Yeah. Well, the drug game ain't what it used to be, bro. So you gotta get in there and you gotta start spinning on your head. So hey man, times are tough for everybody. You got hey, you gotta have multiple streams of income. Yeah. You know what? He was an entrepreneur. The guy, he was a business. He was ahead of his time. He's a business. He was thinking ahead.

SPEAKER_04 10:58

He was like, Man, this drug shit ain't gonna be forever. I gotta get in this dance shit, bro. There's money to be made here.

SPEAKER_06 11:04

TikTok is gonna go huge.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

That man would have made it big on TikTok.

SPEAKER_07 11:11

No, that's the dude with the you guys remember during the pandemic, the guy with the skateboard and the freaking juice on the highway?

SPEAKER_03 11:18

I don't know. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_07 11:20

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

No, I know we'll drink the cranberry juice.

SPEAKER_07 11:22

The cranberry juice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:27

That's right. That's right, that's right. God. TikTok. I went to Jesus and I was Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_06 11:33

No, that's the other one, isn't it? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Where were we at?

SPEAKER_05 11:38

Yeah, I don't know. We're just we're it's gonna be it's gonna be one of those episodes, but I don't know that that's these movies, these movies call for it.

SPEAKER_07 11:43

These the Cholo, he took out Chris Brown because he won a hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

I think it looked like a little bit more than that.

SPEAKER_05 11:50

Yeah, it was like at least 300.

SPEAKER_02 11:54

And what?

SPEAKER_05 11:54

Dude, you watch these movies and like the money that they're dancing for is not that much money to be getting killed by. Oh, you guys serve with$50,000 and you get to you get to be in a little Kim video. I don't know. Not a little Kim. But uh you know that so anyway, so dance movies, they've been around forever. We're gonna focus on the ones of the 2000s, but a couple of ones I wanted to highlight just because these are kind of the monumental ones of the early like the eighties. So in the 80s you have Flashdance, which you guys probably have never seen or heard of, which is fine, but listeners have because some of you guys are old. Uh and then from there there's the there's Breakin and Breaking too. So Breaken's the clip I sent you guys, the guy dancing with the broom. So that that was like a classic breakdance movie.

SPEAKER_07 12:39

Dude Cook.

SPEAKER_05 12:40

And then there's a there's a legendary sequel, not legendary because it's a good movie, legendary because of the title. So there's so Breaken came out in 1984, and then like later, I think I don't know, it came out early 84, and then later that year, the same year in December, as the sequel comes out, Break into Electric Boogaloo. Amazing, amazing amazing title. No one's ever seen the movie, but the title lives on forever. Like the movie isn't out or no, it's out, but like I'm just saying, like nobody like remembers the movie. It's it's like notoriously terrible, but the title is like the most famous part of the movie. It's like the point where like anytime a sequel is announced to a movie any movie, someone's like, Oh, here comes Avengers 2 and Electric Boogaloo. Like, it's just that's just kind of what because what the fuck is an electric boogaloo? Like no one knows what that is. Nobody saw the movie, so nobody could tell you what it was. I don't know if it was if it was a person or a place.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Did you still stream that movie?

SPEAKER_05 13:33

Uh you can probably find it on YouTube, I'm sure. It's probably on YouTube.

SPEAKER_07 13:38

Bro, the fact that we're old enough to like remember using a BC.

SPEAKER_05 13:41

Yeah. I think you yeah, you I don't know, dude.

SPEAKER_02 13:43

I had one. I remember when I did I have the you know how there was that little machine that you can re rewind it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Sometimes it would come out like in a little car or actually fucking old talking about this shit.

SPEAKER_05 13:56

VCRs, man.

SPEAKER_07 13:57

But we're not that old because we didn't like see them, we didn't see them like become a thing. Like we caught them at the end. And then we went to DVDs.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

I had a lot of them.

SPEAKER_07 14:06

I know, but like I'm not saying like we're old enough to we're old enough to catch the end of it, the beginning of DVDs, Blu-ray, and then streaming. Yeah, yeah. Like we saw like essentially all of physical media die.

SPEAKER_05 14:17

Yeah. Sad sad. Yeah, I mean remember like I had like the VCR DVD combo. Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_07 14:23

It was so good. I always had the gray one from Walmart.

SPEAKER_05 14:26

I felt like I felt like fucking it was like uh pin my ride. I know you like to watch movies while you watch movies, so I put a VCR on your DVD so you can watch movies while you watch movies.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

My favorite. I had it was a DVD thing would come down and I think we'll just slide.

SPEAKER_05 14:38

Oh yeah, yeah. And you would see it like this, oh man.

SPEAKER_07 14:41

Bro, my favorite movie like that I loved having was the Pokemon and then uh the Rugrats. Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:49

Yeah, yeah. I remember the VCR cases would get cool with it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

Is it Land Before Time? Yeah, oh dude, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 15:02

Oh, dogs go to heaven. Yeah, dude. I had all those movies. I just remember like, yeah, having the shelf, all the thick assets. It was either like the plastic like shell case or it was the sleeve, or like the sleeve you'd have to lift it up or whatever.

SPEAKER_07 15:15

Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_05 15:17

Simpler times, man. Simple times. Yeah, and then also in '84 is the original Footloose with Kevin Bacon, kind of a cult classic movie. And then a couple years later is Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze. So these are like dance movies. So we're not going to talk about musicals. So like a musical I would consider like West Side Story or Greece or High School Musical. Like even those movies feature a ton of dancing. It's not the main. The characters in those movies like break out into song. Like so those are musicals. Whereas like sing, we should just start doing that.

SPEAKER_07 15:52

I've never seen any of those.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

You've never seen okay. Greece, I have seen. I've never seen them high school musical. You've never high school? You're missing out.

SPEAKER_07 16:00

You don't know you don't know about Bet on It, bro? Wow. You haven't what about Jump In?

SPEAKER_02 16:05

Jump In is that's all the high school musical guy, right?

SPEAKER_05 16:08

Yeah, yeah, Corbin Blue. Yeah. You seen that one? Yeah. But you won't you won't watch high school musical. No, I wouldn't.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Wouldn't? Well, I didn't grow up on Disney. But like you wouldn't watch it. Yeah. Oh, you were Nickel.

SPEAKER_07 16:19

I didn't either, but like I just I just caught high school musical because it was like that big.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

Honestly, I didn't come. You can start hearing it, and so obviously Julie and you guys, you guys were like play it all the time.

SPEAKER_07 16:30

And she hasn't put you like to watch them?

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Well, she tried to. It was just I can't get into it.

SPEAKER_07 16:34

I think it's just you can't get into high school musical? Too corny. Nah, I could get it.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Bro.

SPEAKER_07 16:39

You can still look back on that movie and watch it.

SPEAKER_06 16:41

It's still good.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

We're soften. Like it. There's not a star in heaven than we. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:52

Anyways. I gotta get into it.

SPEAKER_05 16:55

That's fucked up, bro. Well, I guess you're not soaring and you're not flying.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

I gotta guess I have a nice voice. I hope you guys know that. Who what? Yes, I have a nice voice.

SPEAKER_05 17:02

No, thanks, dude. That's probably about all you can get from me singing. Yeah, well, there's gonna be probably less impressions this episode, too, for me. So uh for anyone that enjoys my impressions, the the the three of you that like them, sorry. Well, you know, I might I might sneak a bait in there later on.

SPEAKER_07 17:15

We're gonna sneak a bait in there.

SPEAKER_05 17:17

I'll sneak a bait in there, bro. I'll get bait in here.

SPEAKER_07 17:20

I was gonna say we're gonna you're gonna see us at karaoke after. Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 17:24

We're gonna be seeing it after karaoke. So though, yeah, they there were there was a bunch of these classic moves like dance movies in the 80s, and not and you know, there's like probably lesser ones out there, but uh again, they're not usually regarded as like great movies. I think Dirty Dancing is kind of considered a it's uh it's a good movie. I like it, but Dirty Dancing? Yeah, Dirty Dancing. It's a good one. Yeah, Patrick Swayze, legend.

SPEAKER_07 17:45

I know the I know the lift, but I know it because of crazy stupid life. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:48

It's it's like an it's an iconic one, similar to like Footloose and Flash Dance, or like iconic dance movies. Kevin Bacon? Yeah, Kevin Bacon, man, the the man, the man, the myth, the legend. But so, and then that's kind of when I was like looking and seeing, like, okay, we're like where like let's see if some of the older dance movies, like where what were they like before? And a lot of them are you know, there there's not a lot of other than the break-in movies, there isn't a lot of like break dancing, and then there isn't really a ton of notable dance movies until 2001, Save the Last Dance. Yeah, and this is kind of the beginning of the in the whole fish out of water. So it's it's Save the Last Dance is it's about this white girl played by Julia Styles from Ten Things I Hate About You, great film. Ten Things I Hate Aut You is a great film. Save the Last Dance, not so much, but like But it's about a girl, she's like a classically trained dancer, she wants to go to like Juilliard, and she has to move. I don't know, I think her mom her mom dies, so she has to go live with her dad uh in a rough part of town, so she has to go to a rough school with with a lot of the urban community. And why are you laughing?

SPEAKER_00 18:55

He says it's true.

SPEAKER_05 18:57

And so she starts hanging out, hanging around with so she's a white girl and she starts mingling with with black people and starts kind of going listening to their music, and apparently this girl's never heard a song by a black artist.

SPEAKER_07 19:09

She's learning how to ludicrous. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:12

She's never heard uh you know, I'll say this about Save the Last Dance. It's not a good movie. The dance scenes are bad, like really bad. They're not gonna matter, right?

SPEAKER_02 19:21

The audition one is pretty dope. Who? The audition?

SPEAKER_05 19:24

The last one?

SPEAKER_02 19:26

Yeah, that's the final.

SPEAKER_05 19:28

That's like that's what the whole movie's building up to, and it's not gonna be No way.

SPEAKER_06 19:32

You thought that still holds up, bro. It's also the one with the That's Taylor Swift.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

Ice Cube? Ice Cube? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:39

I'll stick to it.

SPEAKER_07 19:40

Yeah, it's Taylor Swift in the whatever video she makes dancing, that's her. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the choreography that she's gonna be.

SPEAKER_05 19:46

Literally, yeah. So so the whole save less dance thing is she she and then she meets this guy. He's a black, he's a black guy, she falls in love with him, but he's you know, he's he's kind of from the streets and he hangs down with with some with some rough, some rough youngsters, and he's she's trying to save him from the street life and tell him that there's more there's more to life than than what he's been up to, and uh he is he teaches her how to dance, like because they go to a club and she doesn't know how to dance, and so he's like teaching her how to have like rhythm. This this movie is kind of so there's a parody movie that's made later on called Dance Flick, and this is like the main, like, like the main plot they make fun of.

SPEAKER_06 20:23

I hate that movie. It's like so bad, but it's so funny. I'm here to pick up my son.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

Okay, I'll see him next week.

SPEAKER_06 20:32

He's such a good dad.

SPEAKER_07 20:36

Dude, when they're walking the hallways and they're like doing it, hey, what are you doing? You can't feel nothing. And then she pulls a condom on the principle.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

It's so bad. Those movies are so bad. All those parody movies.

SPEAKER_07 20:46

Bro, those crazy movies. That was that was a good thing.

SPEAKER_05 20:48

They got out of control. That's another that's a whole other genre we'll have to tackle one day. Those those movies are something else. But yeah, and then so so he bec the guy begins teaching her like dance lessons or like how to dance in the club, and then she like combines that style of dancing with like the classically trained like to for her audition for Juilliard, where she's mixing hip hop and like art like art, like classical dance, and it's they they thought they were doing something and they weren't. They weren't. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad.

SPEAKER_07 21:13

How many of those movies can we look back on from the 2000s? And we're like when we were younger, bro, they killed all of them. And then now it's like yeah, all of them.

SPEAKER_02 21:22

No, it's the most important, I'll just like dude, I want to dance like that.

SPEAKER_05 21:26

Is it yeah, but not even like like some of these dance movies, like we'll get into it, but like they're bad. Like even the ones that like are classic, like they're bad. A lot of these movies are not good. Like they're not good movies, but they're just not a good story. It's nostalgic. Like, you just you love it because when you're you love it as a kid.

SPEAKER_07 21:43

I want to know when you when like when we start going over the movies, tell me if it still holds up in your eyes or if it doesn't.

SPEAKER_05 21:49

No, most of these don't. No, there's a couple of things. Most of them don't.

SPEAKER_06 21:52

Dude.

SPEAKER_05 21:53

But yeah, so Save the Last Dance is like the like the first, I think, big one at the time. I think I'm assuming I don't know what people thought at the time, but they thought it was. That was good dancing. I don't I don't think so. I don't I don't think anybody in this movie knows that this movie knows how to dance, honestly. It's like the first time any of them have ever been asked to dance before. And then so then a couple years later, 2000- So that's 2001. And then 2003, Honey, Jessica Alba. Oh that's it's a dance movie. She's like again, she's like a white girl who I think she lives in New York City. She hangs out with the urban community, and she's trying to like get a deal to become a dancer for like for a music video. There isn't a whole lot like isn't like deep stories. No, like and it's like all the same stuff. Like they want to go beat a music video or win a competition to get some money or like I don't know, get a gr scholarship. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 22:37

Like isn't that the cool thing that it wasn't that deep?

SPEAKER_05 22:39

It's not that deep, but the characters act like it is. Yeah. And so honey's not when I I mean Priscilla, my wife loves Honey a lot. And I think that's another one where like you watch Honey, and it's like, is the dancing as good as like we thought it was in the 2000s? Like at the time, probably not. And like, you know, then there's like the all the all the memes about Jessica Alba when at the halftime show with that buddy, and they're like, Girl, you're honey. Like, what are you doing out there just swaying left and right, like do something?

SPEAKER_02 23:05

I'm being honest, I don't think I've ever seen that movie in full. I haven't seen it in a dance. I've seen the dance like parts of pit.

SPEAKER_05 23:10

Yeah, I just there's just some the villain of that movie.

SPEAKER_07 23:16

That dude's trying to pick her up. Yeah. And yeah, back then I was like, oh, he got game, and now I'm like, what? No.

SPEAKER_05 23:22

Just a creep. Yeah. Just doesn't leave her alone. The the bad villain in that movie is like some Justin Timberlake knockoff dude with like the Jar, like the freaking top ramen hair style. It's it's interesting. Justin Timberlake was something else in 2006. Yeah. And then the first, I think, like this is the the the and so that's 2003. 2004, we get the first like I think monumental dance movie, and that's you guys served.

SPEAKER_02 23:44

Oh yeah. That was a banger.

SPEAKER_05 23:46

And this one is so this is star starring on Ariana Marcus Houston, and then the rest of B2K is in the movie as well. Break dancers, like, and dance battles. Steve Harvey is like the like community guy, like elder who like referees the dance battles like in a warehouse.

SPEAKER_06 24:01

There's always one of them in this movie. Mr. Rad. There's always some old dude that really cares about it.

SPEAKER_05 24:06

In all of these movies, like from the ones from the 2000s in particular, there's always like a famous like musician or like artist, like, or some like you know, some part some famous like celebrity that's like in these movies. It saved the last time. Or no, sorry, you got served, obviously, like the entire lead cast or it's B2K and like a bunch of other like artists. Lil Kim shows up at the end.

SPEAKER_07 24:26

And it's always just for the ending. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The contest that they're gonna be there.

SPEAKER_05 24:30

Yeah, so I guess we'll start with You Got Served, because I I just watched this one today, and this is the one where I'm like, yeah, this movie is not good at all. The dance scenes are good, obviously. And this is like where like the dancing scenes I think hold up for the most part, whereas like Honey and Save the Last Dance, those dances don't hold up at all. I don't think they were good even at the time they came out, but but save the or You Got Served.

SPEAKER_07 24:51

They had people floating.

SPEAKER_05 24:52

Yeah, they levited. That's I remember as a kid when I saw that scene when they made the dude levitate, I'm like, what the I was I'm over here like, dude, how the hell did he do that?

SPEAKER_07 25:00

Yeah, maybe I'm over here trying to do it too, and I'll just like But we also gotta remember that like 2004 and then that then uh didn't how far after after that movie did we start getting the America Best Dance? Yeah, so it's a few years later.

SPEAKER_05 25:10

Yeah, I was I was I'm gonna get into that because that's kind of I think big for it's like I think the height the height of everything, but also it's like it's the start of when it's like the peak of it, and then that's when it kind of starts to decline, I think. But I think that that's big though, yeah, for sure. So this is it's a few years before, and again, there's not really been any like hip hop breakdance style movies in a while. Like, yeah, and I mean the plot is nonsensical. I mean it's so the leads are Omarion and Marcus Houston, they are not actors. Yeah, you know Omarion is so bad in the movie.

SPEAKER_07 25:45

What's the storyline? Because I hear about Little Saint a lot. In our group chat for the goose. Don't ever disrespect it. Yeah, it was either don't ever disrespect Little Saint or we're doing this for Little Saint.

SPEAKER_05 25:56

Yeah, no, he's gone too soon, brother. Rest in peace. Rest in power, my man. So it's it's about a crew of dancers led by Omarion and and Marquez Houston. Okay. They're like Wild Nancat, right? Huh?

SPEAKER_07 26:08

The Wild Nanak Cat? Marquez, or is that another? No, no, no. Marquez, he's he was a singer.

SPEAKER_05 26:12

So like they're like the best crew, I guess, in LA, or that they're seen. Steve Harvey plays a guy named Mr. Red, who he like owns a warehouse that he allows all these kids they're not kids, I guess they're adults, they're all out of high school, so they're like early 20s or late teens. So he allows all these all these dance crews to battle in his this warehouse he owns. And he usually there's it's a it's a fur money, so he he holds the money in a hat, and you know, then the crowd decides who the winner is, and you know, the the or m the main characters, their crew is you know, the best crew, and then the villain of the movie are villains are these white these white boys from Orange County and like the way that they get introduced into the movie is so like the morning, the first opening scene's a great dance scene, they win, and then in the morning, or no, so after the dance scene, because in the way that the way that Marcus Houston and Omarion fund the crew to compete, like to have to put up the money to compete, is they work for a local drug dealer named Emerald. And but it's not really clear what they do for him. Like they just go they show up to like some like a bar or like a building and they like they throw a duffel bag at them and they have to like carry the duffel bag somewhere. It's not clear if they're carrying drugs or money or no no one there's I don't know. Like the movie doesn't want to tell you. Like, I think it's like trying to be family friendly, but it's like they're working for a drug dealer, and I guess they that's how they make money. And like they so that's how they they're do they're it they like three times in the movie, like it's a scene, and you can tell they probably filmed all this like in the same day because like it's it's the same exact set every time, like the same door they're in front of, and then like Omarion will tell them, like, Alright man, it's gonna be the last time we do this. I know, never again. And then like 20 minutes later, this is the last time I'm not doing this anymore. And then like they do it like three times in the movie, like you guys are just just stop, like you guys keep selling drugs, like it's fine. So that's like in the background, like they're just and then the big like drama, or yeah, so the big drama of the movie later on is that like the the split, the main characters get mad at each other because they have to go move they they get it's like it's always like a couple hundred bucks for like to that they have to put up for the dance competition. So that's why they go do it, they make they put up the money themselves and then they take more of the split when they win, and then they give like the let less money for the rest to the rest of the crew. One of the characters, I think his name's Sonny, he doesn't like he thinks that's not fair because they all put in the hours, they all dance, and so then like the big twist is he betrays them and goes with the white boys.

SPEAKER_07 28:45

Is that the one that's at you when it's like when he goes, This is the first time, this is when I realize that dudes ain't shit.

SPEAKER_05 28:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Literally. And so, yeah, and so the the after a night of them carrying drugs in a bag for the guy, I don't know, whatever it is they do somehow they wake up first thing in the morning and there's a video tape. They have a video tape which is the white boys challenging them to a to a battle, and he's like, Yeah, look what we got today. And I'm like, where did this tape come from? Like the mailman drop it off? Like, or does it like did they break in and put it in speaking of ECRs? Like, and it's just these white boys like, yo, you know, we want to battle your crew, we hear you're the best in LA. Well, we're the best in like these like in the main bad, he's like like porcupine blonde, spiky hair. And then it's the guy from Step Up 2 and wild and out Rob Hoffman. He's the other he's the other bad guy. So they challenge him, but they up the the the gamble. It's five, they want to do five thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_01 29:36

Right.

SPEAKER_05 29:37

So they gotta go they gotta go move a lot more duffel bags to make the money to uh to be able to compete.

SPEAKER_07 29:44

And then selling drugs to dance is fucking the club is twenty dollars. Yeah, this is it.

SPEAKER_05 29:50

I'm telling you, this this dance is life or death.

SPEAKER_07 29:53

Bro, it can't be that deep.

SPEAKER_05 29:55

It's life, it it is it is that deep.

SPEAKER_07 29:57

You can make more money just selling drugs.

SPEAKER_05 29:58

Speaking from personal experience, it's that deep. That's part of the reason that's part of the reason why I don't I don't compete anywhere in underground dance battles. Because honestly, the lifestyle inferno? No, like the lifestyle is it's too it's too crazy, man. There's too much.

SPEAKER_07 30:13

He was the one that burned it down. His last dance battle. There's too much, yeah, dude. It's too fire.

SPEAKER_05 30:18

Yeah. I was spinning on my head too fast.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

And then everything just turned out. Yeah, dug a hole.

SPEAKER_07 30:24

Little Wayne's fireman came on, and Rudy was just Hey man.

SPEAKER_05 30:28

Oh my god. Me and my crew back in the day, we were dangerous.

SPEAKER_07 30:31

Yeah, but you and Pablo spinning fucking on top of Josie. Did they get Josie in?

SPEAKER_05 30:37

Yeah, no, Josie, he he wasn't tall enough to get in Inferno. They didn't believe he was over 16. And so, yeah, in the big drama, so they they the night when they're gonna battle against the the white boys from Orange County, one of the guys that was complaining on the on their crew that was complaining about the split that they that they do. It's real that he betrays them. They do their dance, and apparently within the 12 hours since he's joined their crew, he's taught them all their dance movies. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 31:04

Now, so did every other dance movie just steal the premise?

SPEAKER_05 31:09

Uh it feels like it, right? Yeah. And so and Omarion and Marcus Houston, they start doing they'll start doing like their routine, and then the uh the opposite, like the jump in rival crew start like pretty much doing what they were doing, but and there's like they're ticking my moves, man. But at the end of the day it's like, you guys dance in public anyways. Like, how are these your moves? Like, every like you guys are all doing the same shit. Like, there's like seven moves everybody's doing, like you know, but that's and that's so they lose and they lose the 5,000, and that's the big drama of the movie. And then to make the money back, they continue working for Emerald, the local drug dealer.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

At that point, that's when Omarion starts dating his sister.

SPEAKER_05 31:48

Yeah, Omarion wakes up in the morning and immediately is like sees Marcus Houston's sister and is like, god damn, like, and he's just after her. And it reminded me honestly of Kevin. Honestly.

SPEAKER_07 32:01

Look at him now.

SPEAKER_05 32:03

He's like, and he's like, it's like going all in. He's like going all in on this girl.

SPEAKER_07 32:06

Kevin's like, why you say fuck me? Seriously.

SPEAKER_05 32:09

I'm just kidding, Kevin.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Oh, you didn't like me.

SPEAKER_05 32:12

Damn, no, huh? That's the other big drama of the movie is he's the Omarion starts dating Marquez Houston's sister. Marquez don't like that. He don't like that. She's like, You stay away from my little sister, bro. Baby sister, that's off limits. And then so that so and then like the big, the big like well, the second big, because nothing's bigger than than the death of Lil Saint, but the big the the in the incident that that's yeah, they start a beef. So and so and Lil Saint is this character Lil Saint is he's like this young like nine-year-old kid that hangs out with the dance crew. He's like one of the guys on the team. I mean, one of the B2K guys, I don't remember which one, I don't know who any of them are, but he hangs out with one of the guys on their crew, and he's like he keeps him out of trouble and he buys him stuff or whatever, you know, tries to keep him off the streets.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

He's like the Richie to me, you know, like he was always around me, kind of like basic basic like him.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 33:01

Yeah, he's just like you know, he's like the big the thick the big the big brother program, basically, is what it is for him. And so he's this little kid, he's like he wants to join the crew, but they're like, he's a motherfucker can't dance, can't join the crew, and then and so the big beef is in an effort to raise the money to because cause uh Marcus Houston borrows money from his grandma to for the five thousand dollar competition. The grandma's so funny. She's like, I'm I'm not a complainer, baby, but I think I got the gout, I can't walk no more. Like she's just always listing off all the things that are wrong with her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 33:30

And then um begging money from grandma to dance.

SPEAKER_04 33:33

Grandma, I need money, I gotta I gotta step to these fools. They they were they were stepping on this. They gotta I gotta my reputation, grandma.

SPEAKER_05 33:41

Honestly, I I mean, I've been there.

SPEAKER_06 33:44

Penny's that's like Penny going up to Angel and be like, Grandma, I need money.

SPEAKER_04 33:49

Yeah, for the dance battle, dude. You can sometimes you gotta you gotta do you gotta do things you don't want to do.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

Honestly, Penny's gonna become a dancer.

SPEAKER_05 33:55

She might, dude. She's got some moves, bro.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

She comes to me for money, I'll give it to her. All right, then you're winning back.

SPEAKER_05 34:00

She's making me make me proud, bro.

SPEAKER_02 34:02

Yeah, but gambling that exper uncle.

SPEAKER_05 34:06

And so, so in an effort to pay his grandma back, he starts moving drugs for Emerald. Marcus Houston does it again, and he's supposed to meet with Omarion, because they always do it together. And Omarion is on a date with his sister and doesn't answer the phone, and so he gets jumped. Marcus Houston gets jumped with the drugs, with the or whatever, the merchandise. Because he tells you like he throws it out, he's like, You can you can handle this much weight or whatever. The guy has like the funniest voice. He's like he's like he's a really big fat guy, the drug dealer. Okay, and like he just talks like he's out of breath, and then you go, you're gonna have trouble moving this much drugs with me. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

So he gets jumped. You know who he talks like? He talks like that guy. Have you ever seen the movie uh Get Rich Dyke trying?

SPEAKER_07 34:53

Not in a fat minute.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

That's a deep pool though. It's like he's like that mafia guy, right?

SPEAKER_05 34:57

Yeah, it's always like and then they make fun of him in that dance flick. Yeah, uh, because it was like poo bear, he's like the really big fat dude that walks out. He's like he's dances with them and he's like breaking the like breaking the floor. Such an awful movie.

SPEAKER_04 35:10

Such an awful movie, but and he comes in and he does that voice too. You thought he dances that tea ice on a big ding puppy. We don't win today, fella.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Yeah, but and he gets jumped, so that's like so then that's like sent to the hospital, and then obviously he shows up and pretty much was like kind of like left me out there by myself. Yeah, damn it.

SPEAKER_05 35:41

So they're beefing, and he's like, then he's like, Oh, you and you ditched me because you're with my sister, and he like forbids his sister, calls his sister a hoe. Stop stop trying to stop being a hoe out there. Like he does not treat his sister very well in this movie at all, and doesn't want them together, he's mad because he got jumped, so then they're they're done. The crew's split apart, and Marcus Houston is the drug emerald pulls up and tells him he has like two weeks to pay him back or he's he'll never walk again. So now they're beefing it. And the the whole thing with Lil Saint is it's really hard to talk about. I get really emotional when I talk about it. Is that since the crew is not together, the bro his older or like his the guy that's been watching for him, Rico, I think yeah, his name's Rico, he's not he doesn't want to take a side, so he's not joining either one of their crews. Like he's like, I'm not gonna be in your crew or your crew, like because now in like in a matter of days they've all they've found new dancers, I guess. And so he's like, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take sides. So they're not dancing, they're not they're not around, and so Lil Saint's been like hanging out with like Trump. Like they could they they drop a line in the movie, like, oh like you better not be hanging out with those thugs or whatever. Like some people he that we never we never meet these characters that he's hanging out with. He's just looking for acceptance from like Yeah, he's just trying to, you know, be he's pointing. He's trying to be out. He's trying to be out, and so because they're not competing or they're not together, Lil Saint's not around them as much anymore. And so the big drama of the then the the big breaking point of the movie is that Lil Saint is uh he's in a car with some people and then they the they get shot up, the car gets shot up, and then I don't know Bails, he's can't believe it. He can't believe this shit. It's uh it's just the blood is like it's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous. It's crazy for dancing. Hey, it's life or death, I told you. And and they they like someone rushes in, somehow they get the news and they rush in, they're like, hey man, Lil' Saint got shot. So then it's like they're they go to the hospital, and it's kind of funny because like they're not none of these people are related to him, to Lil Saint. And they go up to like to the like the clerk at the hospital, like, hey, we they say his nephew what his real name is, but they say his real name. We're here to see the we're here to see such and such, you know. And then the lady's like, who are you here for? Who are you or his family left? And then one of the other guys is like, yeah, if you don't, if you can't find that, sometimes he goes by Lil Saint. I'm like, What the hospital clerk's gonna be like, Oh, let me tell yeah, sorry.

SPEAKER_04 37:54

Little Lil Saint, yeah, room room 13. Go ahead, go back there.

SPEAKER_05 37:57

Like it's fucking ridiculous. And then uh and then the doctor comes out and he's like, he tells him that he died. He that little saint died, he got shot in the lun and they couldn't save him, and then they're you know, that's the big heartbreak of the movie is they lose Lil Saint, and that's what inspires them to train hard. There's the there's uh like a funny I'm over it.

SPEAKER_06 38:16

No, it's hold on.

SPEAKER_05 38:18

No, you don't even believe it, bro. And then there's the dance montage where they're training because Marcus Houston's leg is injured after being jumped for carrying that duffel bag. Crutches and part of his training to get to to get back into shape for dancing is he's uh he's boxing, I think.

SPEAKER_04 38:32

He's like, why is he boxing?

SPEAKER_05 38:36

And then it's the biggest rainstorm ever, known to man, apparently, and they're dancing in the rain. It's it's it's not a good movie.

SPEAKER_02 38:45

Yelling, settling young, watching this movie. It's it's fantastic. It's a great scene.

SPEAKER_05 38:49

It's fantastic. And then the the big finale is basically there's a it's a competition and looking in Bale's eyes and he's dying slowly. It's like keep explaining this movie to him.

SPEAKER_00 38:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:58

And the big It's terrible. And and the big competition or the big prize is fifty thousand dollars, and you get to be in a little kim video. This is 2004 Lil' Kim, so she still had a little bit of clout.

SPEAKER_07 39:09

So okay, um, how much money do they have to put up for this competition?

SPEAKER_05 39:12

No, this one is it's just a it's a dance competition that comes out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_07 39:16

It's not ever, it's not like like they weren't building to the karate kid building up to the Yeah, no, this it comes out of nowhere. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_05 39:22

And then the whole drug prop plot line gets known, it never gets dealt with. Forget about it. It's forgotten. So Steve Harvey, the sister goes to Steve Harvey and is like, Mr. Rad, like they're worried about this. There's this guy named Emerald, and he's owes money, and then Steve Harvey just goes, Oh, don't you worry about that. I I put a call into a friend of mine and they took care of Mr. Emerald. Like, so just wiped away the big like the overarching issue. It's just dealt with, they're good. Okay, yeah. And so that's taken care of. So now they can just focus on the dance. They rename their crew the Lil Saints. And I want to take this time now to dedicate this podcast to Lil Saint because Take them on my silence. Yeah, which is thank you.

SPEAKER_06 40:03

I was about to do the line from uh Barbershock. Man, fuck this.

SPEAKER_05 40:09

So yeah, then you know they obviously beat them. They they beat the white boys, and that's you know, it's a great, great sell. And then the nastiest shit too, at the end of the movie, so Omarion and Marcus Houston have made up because they're joined, they all joined forces to defeat the whites, and and they win, they're celebrating, and then Marcus Houston's sister walks up to Omarion and like like shake hands awkwardly because like they don't want to show affection, and then Marcus Houston's like, Come on, man, that's all you got for your girl, and then they just start open-mouth kissing in front of him, and he's slow-mo, like slow-mo. Omarion and the sister like making out like tongue and everything, and you just see Marcus Houston's face, like, that's right. Like, you could like like are you pimping out your sister, bro?

SPEAKER_07 40:53

Like who he was like bitching about earlier? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:56

Calling her a hoe, she ain't shit, and then he's like, Shh well, you guys gonna be together, you better be together, right? Give her that give her that good little is he white? No, they're all black. Everyone's there. It's a black team of dancers.

SPEAKER_07 41:09

They're like skins, bro.

SPEAKER_05 41:10

No, they're from LA. I I just I just put a little Robert Daddy Jr. Tropic Thunder on that. But that's you guys serve. It's a terrible movie. It's not a good movie. Nobody in the movie knows how to act. The plot is nonsensical, you know. It's just a dancing space. It's just dancing. It's a dancing scene.

SPEAKER_07 41:24

So okay, so the dancing still holds up, but the movie does not. No, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_05 41:29

Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_07 41:29

What about the dance scenes? The dance scenes you guys still don't.

SPEAKER_05 41:31

I think the dance scenes are good. I don't think it's like the best of the movies, like of the movies we're gonna we're gonna talk about right now. I think these dancings are much better. They're better shot.

SPEAKER_02 41:39

I just think it's more of a it's a vibe. Vibe, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 41:42

Okay. Nostalgia?

SPEAKER_05 41:44

Yeah. It's nostalgia. It's a cult classic, you know. But there's very little redeeming qualities to it other than the fact that, you know.

SPEAKER_07 41:52

Yeah, you guys didn't sell me on it. I think I'm okay not watching it.

SPEAKER_02 41:55

No, you should watch it, bro.

SPEAKER_07 41:57

Maybe like if we get together.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

You gotta know who Little Saint is.

SPEAKER_05 42:00

Yeah, you need to re- put some respect on Lil Saint's name, first of all. I don't like I the honestly, the way you're acting right now, it's super disrespectful to Lil Saint, and I've got a problem with it.

SPEAKER_02 42:08

Stay up. So do I. Stay up. You're acting like Sonny right now. No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_07 42:14

The only one we acknowledge is Bing Bong. As the saddest death of all time.

SPEAKER_04 42:20

Yeah. Well, he's up there with Lil Saint. Yeah for sure. Bing Bong Bing Bong had a taste of the game.

SPEAKER_07 42:26

What what bar did Lil Saint say before dying?

SPEAKER_05 42:30

Lil Saint took a took a bullet to the lung. He bled out.

SPEAKER_07 42:33

So then he didn't say shit. At least at least Bingbang took it like a man. He's a casualty of the Dance Wars. Cool. Bing Bong knew what he was doing. He knew he went out like a thug. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 42:42

Bing Bong didn't serve in the Dance Wars. Alright, as a veteran of the Dance Wars, I'm a survivor. And Lil Saint isn't.

SPEAKER_07 42:50

Yeah, senior. Say this, not a veteran.

SPEAKER_05 42:52

So that's 2004, and then 2006 is I think when this is when shit's hitting the fans. This is the first step up. Ooh. Channing Tatum. Best and his wife to be Jenna Dewan.

SPEAKER_07 43:04

The biggest crush on around during that movie.

SPEAKER_05 43:06

Yeah. And so Channing Tatum has uh had obviously been making movies, I think, around he'd have been in some stuff, but like smaller roles. Coach Carter. Yeah, he's like Coach Carter. She's the man like around this time. Like he's in like he's doing stuff, but this is his first time like leading a movie.

SPEAKER_07 43:19

And hostess, he just became the man, no?

SPEAKER_05 43:22

Yeah, I mean after this he be he becomes a bigger star, and they try to like make him like the guy. He's the guy for a bit. Well he he was popular, but I think he just wasn't always making the greatest movies. The movies weren't it, but the like they try, like they put him in those movies like like fighting or stop loss.

SPEAKER_07 43:39

I will hold on. Don't disrespect fighting. Do not disrespect fighting. It's not the best.

SPEAKER_05 43:45

No, I'm but I mean But it's not the worst. I'm just saying he was trying like he was going for it in movies like that. He was trying to be like dramatic and it just wasn't really working. He he figures it out along the way. Like I think now he's kind of figured out his lane. But anyway, like this, I think that this is his first opportunity. to be a leading man and then he's showing showing off the fact that he's a dancer. I think I I like I liked it for step up. I think it's it's it's fine.

SPEAKER_07 44:06

I think it has the best storyline.

SPEAKER_05 44:09

I mean it I sh sure but it it's kind of the same thing as like save the last dance. Like not really because it's always the it's again it's it goes back to this we gotta we gotta accept the the ghetto kids. And my thing with step up is too is like it's always there's always white people are leading these movies and like the street kids are the white people. It's the same thing as Step Up 2. And we get Step Up 2 because there's a really funny scene in Step Up 2. That's not supposed to be funny. It's supposed to be like heartwarming and it's funny because it's a white girl explaining what what the streets are but I mean I I I But I mean if we're gonna if someone's gonna be a street kid that's why I mean Tading Tatum like it's it he sells it a bit in that one like he's like don't disrespect Tyler Gage right now. He should be president. I don't know about president but so yeah he's like he's a troublemaker that has to do community service at the at the fancy dance school and then and then you know it continues the trend of like Mario's in the movie so like we have like a musician that's in the movie. I just think that I don't know I I like stuff up I just I don't think the dance scenes are as memorable in the first one as they are as in the later ones or these even these later movies.

SPEAKER_07 45:14

No but I think it was more realistic. That's why I said it had like the more like I guess concrete storyline for me like it was like something believable because then like the other ones just lost the plot completely.

SPEAKER_02 45:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 45:26

But there's more dancing scenes in those yeah the dancing is way better I like this story.

SPEAKER_05 45:31

I think the dancing is better in the other ones.

SPEAKER_07 45:33

Yeah the dancing the dancing in two and three beyond this one as far as story I like this one. I thought Channing and her did a good job at it.

SPEAKER_05 45:41

No they're good and I think the I think the first step up is trying to be like a real drama movie that just has dancing in it and then they kind of realize like nobody cares about that shit. Like they just want to see the dancing. So they just up the dancing in the later movies and they just forget to write the rest of the script. And but I mean no Cheney I mean I like Channing Tatum he's charming he's a good leading man and they they had good chemistry obviously you know they were married for a long time they had kids I respect it because it's the first and I just I prefer the streets better because that's where I'm from and oh okay two minutes what was it ten minutes ago you gotta watch high school musical hey man the streets got the streets got Disney channel too right so that's doesn't for you had channel 52? Yeah brother absolutely I didn't have channel 52 hey do you have an antenna huh did you have an antenna I don't know if I did or not I was the antenna hey we could afford not the co hanger not the wire co hanger I was able to afford my we were able to afford cable because of all the money I won all those dance battles I participated in a lot of money you guys think I'm kidding where was this energy during the the walking into his wedding you weren't you weren't choreographed I wasn't I wasn't competing we weren't competing we weren't competing we were competing on the cigar I don't battle anymore man you guys didn't want to dance no one wanted to dance can only do so much man's a lot of threat to her so I I understand yeah it was a really hot day also I don't do well dancing in the heat I do I do I can dance in an air conditioned room but so then he's not from the street no I'm from the streets because of the streets you know from the my PTSD from the streets there was usually a fan at least you know I most of my dancing took place in the rain so that's why there's a rain here for real you mean the one day of a year yeah yeah you'll see me in the streets all right you'll see me in the streets by the pain bro you got it back so 2007 this is when things get real for us here this is Stomp the Yard oh so step up 2006 the next year's 2007 which is Stomp and that's Stomp the Yard so this this is the classics right here this is this is the one that stuck to me this is one of the best ones this I think this movie holds up I think there's not as much cheesy shit in this one as there is in some of the other ones it's fucking cheesy what do you mean what do you mean bro they're talking about Chris Brown gets murdered in the first ten minutes.

SPEAKER_07 48:09

Sure but like when we talk they're trying to take a scholarship away because of Megan Goodspine has like Yeah relatable I would it's like no dude like there's some corny moments I mean none of these moments the uncle's like used to beef because the 'cause he stole his girl yeah because he stole his girl that's a West Coast jack move.

SPEAKER_05 48:30

That's what happens and then he's from LA but like he has to go to the roots of the the Howard University Yeah he has to get out of here because he's getting in trouble bro that was like me I had my mom sent me across town because I just kept getting too mance beefs bro Well I got sent to Michigan shut the fuck up for what? For getting pulled over while you were going to sleep over bro you've never been sent away to escape trouble in the streets?

SPEAKER_07 48:57

No I had to fucking escape poverty in Mexico.

SPEAKER_05 48:59

See there you go bro yeah but I crossed borders you cross town hey man leaving is leaving doesn't matter where you go but what's your street what's your home shout it out my home oh yeah like they say in Stomp the Yard who you rep it I used to get down on Fern and Goldenrod bro were some of my most fierce battles.

SPEAKER_06 49:20

Why were they practicing an empty pool so no one would take their shit?

SPEAKER_05 49:24

That's a reason it didn't work. It didn't work it's like I betrayed him yeah so Stomp the yard so this this movie I remember when like the trailer's like all over the trailer is Chris Brown. Chris Brown's in every piece of trailer marketing for this movie everybody's like oh shit Chris Brown like and that's like this is like peak Chris Brown obviously first movie? Uh I think I think it was I think it was yeah because then the second movie it was takers yeah I don't know if it was the second but that was like probably was one of his bigger yeah he was acting for a little bit and so yeah I remember like just people being so hyped for Chris Brown and Stomp the I and then I didn't I didn't see this movie I don't see any of these movies in theaters but when I would when I ended up watching it I was like oh yeah Chris Brown TV and the yeah like MTV or whatever where they would come on and and then just to see that Chris Brown dies in the first ten minutes I was like what that's how clean he was fucked a to kill him off bro yeah they're like this we gotta bring in the greatest dancer ever known ever known and we need to murder him because that's so annoying murder he needs to be murdered he needs to be shot point blank battling the most he sold the death he did good. Yeah he died the only way to stop yeah yeah maybe don't bat dance battle exactly his brother's fault because his brother always fucking like was a hothead that was like that yeah so that's like that's like his arc of the character's arc DJ is the character's name he he uh yeah he he they they beat the the freaking MS 13 dance crew and I think they go double or nothing or whatever the hell whatever they they say and like Chris Brown's like we're good let's take our money let's go home. We don't want to piss these guys off like it's their home turf like we're not trying to just like give them you know have problems and then yeah the main guy is like fuck that like let's do this and he it's the whole like we're a team it's not just about you that's like where it gets he the Chris Brown tells his brother that and they do it anyways and then they beat them and you know the the the oblost cheerleaders don't take very kindly to that and they jump him on on the way home as they're walking home.

SPEAKER_07 51:21

Did he watch yeah through the train tracks.

SPEAKER_05 51:23

Yeah through the train tracks and then they take the moon somehow yeah yeah like let's take the darkest path home guys we should be fine right with the with a bucket full of cash dead ass bro yeah when everybody just saw us in it everybody saw us leave with this bucket of cash we're gonna take the back roads home let's not get in a car we can probably afford a taxi we won there's like at least a couple hundred dollars yeah there's at least a thousand in here we can at least we can share a a van we can get Uber XL but no do the train track yeah no let's let's take the fucking yeah on their home tour let's go to the darkest way to let's go be in a horror movie for three minutes and then what happens in the horror movie and then the the west side the west side stompers fucking trap them or they they ambush them uh surprise them and they start fighting and yeah and uh one of them's gett one of the guys is getting getting beat so he decides fuck it pulls out a gun blasts Chris Brown and that's that's the inciting incident of the movie and then the main character gets sent to Atlanta to escape the to escape you know the trouble the beef in the hood and LA is dangerous. You gotta get out of LA man I mean honestly everyone should get out of LA it's a terrible place so I am gonna stay in LA don't come here Chris Brown's character was supposed to go to college in the college that he goes to and so he I guess takes his brother's place. He's like this motherfucker's dead so he don't need it I'll take the scholarship it's always the piece of shit brother yeah yeah and so he he gets sent to college and then he's gonna go stay with his aunt and uncle his uncle like runs the company that does all the maintenance for the college and his aunt I don't know just just uh stays at home just stays at home and breaks people's hearts apparently and which the their home isn't that bad. No they're good she's they live in the suburbs she's doing good and so and and the character DJ the first like 20 minutes of the movie he keeps chasing after Megan good like literally chases making good which honestly relatable like Who Among Us and uh was that her first no she had been in stuff before that already. She's in she's she's in You Guys Served I haven't seen it.

SPEAKER_07 53:29

Really yeah she's the friend beautiful with two L's oh you're right yeah the first movie I saw her in and now I'm gonna test your knowledge is Waist Deep.

SPEAKER_05 53:39

Mm-hmm That's the one the first one I saw her in I don't remember if that was 200 yeah she acted she was like a she's in she's like she's has like a she's like a kid in in fried the first Friday Lauren London who's like Ben and shit but like she's she's she's been acting forever so she'd already this she was already kind of established at this point. Like she people she was making good doesn't she come out and coach Carter too no she might have like a small part in it yeah she was just like a friend I think she's like one of like Ashanti's friend have you seen Waysteep the one with Tyrese they steal his kid I wait actually they steal they steal the low rider that he had but his kid was in the back scene oh yeah yeah yeah and he played chases the down yeah that movie it's been a long time since I've seen that movie I know I just watched it like two three weeks ago yeah yeah so so he's in love with Megan Good Megan Good is dating uh I think his name Stuart who's the next head the corny the corniest dude yeah he's he's part of a fraternity is it Moo Gamma Moo I think it's new gamma and new I think it's Gamma yeah they're they're they're I think it's Gamma or uh I forgot whatever it is the other ones that are the Thetas yeah TNT request her as like a tutor like to like so she he can spend time with her but then as he's there he gets introduced to Grant Grant and Neo's character because Neo's a an actor in this movie as well his roommate his roommate's Neo but like through that through that he's introduced to all the stepping doesn't really want to take any part in it but his like the first big like dance sequence of the movie is when he goes to this the rep your city blast off at this club and he You ain't gonna let him talk to you like that.

SPEAKER_02 55:14

Yeah and he goes he basically she's being mistreated by Grant.

SPEAKER_05 55:18

But Stuart oh it's Grant yeah that's Stuart I think it's Grant you're right Grant you're right my bad I'm sorry but yeah and then he does he the main character Columbus Shorts the actor's name does this it's a really cool like dance sequence where he basically like does every dance style from all over like the US basically Texas and Atlanta Latin yeah he does all the all the styles and then show like shows up Grant and pisses him off and then that's he gets kind of put on the map what city are you rapping?

SPEAKER_07 55:43

I ain't rapping no one I'm repping myself.

SPEAKER_05 55:45

Yeah it's just me just me and um I think it's just this is the brother we have all been waiting for it's just funny how the folk climbs that thing and just jumps yeah jumps over the whole crowd it's always the most dramatic shit in these movies and so that gets them on like on notice and then he's trying like I think the grants the like the the guy the leader my boy Lazalonzo from the fourth Fast and Furious from the boys he's in Jumping the Broom movie I love a lot fourth Fast and Furious. He's he plays that guy I think his name's Phoenix he's like the bad guy in the Fast and Furious but he's the one who kills Letty in the fourth movie yeah yeah that's him mind blowing yeah and the one that drives the green card yeah yeah well he has like I think he has like a mohawk yeah that's him yeah that's him in Fast and Furious doesn't even look not at all the food's Dominican in that movie he gets huge he's like huge bro he in like he's in the show I watched called the boys on Amazon he's he was he got big big as shit and now he's kind of lost a bunch of weight again but yeah he was he was a bit a big boy for a while though who's this guy we were talking about again the the so he's like he's like the leader of the rival step crew in this movie he's not no he was jacked in that movie yeah so so yeah he gets he's he's he's been around he's been a bunch of shit yeah I remember I didn't know for a long time yeah he looked shorter in this movie yeah he's like a stocky little dude but then like yeah if you watch that like if you look him up like in the the show the boys he's fucking that dude's up I need to watch the boys because I just watched the other scene where he goes where he sees the girdle oh yeah yeah yeah dude it's a great show and so yeah he tries to recruit Columbus Short Columbus Short doesn't want to want something to do with it but I you know we won't I don't want to get too deep into the pop but like the plot but I think Stomp the Yard like the deck because it's it's it's different. It's not just breakdancing it's a mix they combine stepping with like hip hop and that's kind of like the big thing where he wants his character wants to incorporate a newer style where the other one wants to keep it the same traditional like thing but he goes tradition ain't working. Yeah because they've been losing for like seven years or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 57:48

It's for whatever reason all college movies that compete in something do this pitch perfect does it too where they would only do quite yeah whatever reason this is a trope in they don't want to incorporate the modern the modern kind of styling tradition yeah but there always comes that rebel that just gets changed just this little spunky guy who wants to s ruffle some feathers and it was like drumline does the same thing and they try to keep a tradition drumline's kind of like a but it was college right yeah I think they're college ATT no AT no ATT no that's my cell phone provider. Yeah internet too no what's the name of that A T. ANT That's the name of the college or drumline.

SPEAKER_05 58:29

I was I wonder if it's a real college I don't know I've only seen it once but drumline's kind of it's Drumline's kind of secretly a dance movie too low key. It's more of like a sports movie I guess.

SPEAKER_07 58:37

I mean technically dance movies are sports movies they have the same kind of shit but you know that's why I think you may think of another movie that I just forgot there's like something to do with college and drumline too oh fired up same thing they don't want to change the routines these guys come in and yeah it's a trope all these movies like it's like there's only so much you can do with them.

SPEAKER_05 58:54

Yeah and it's like again and like the it's even like step up step up to they're all in like the movies that come after like it's all very similar like oh we're gonna incorporate your street dancing get that street dancing out of here you know like and and then they embrace it at the end and and it works out for them. But that's like that's like the thing right and but I think the dancing the dance scenes in Stomp the yard like those really hold up they're really really cool really well done very athletic who didn't ever want to just slide across the room on their head on the movie. That shit was crazy. Yeah the whole elbows I was listening to a podcast with the guy who the actor Columbus who plays the main character and he was he talked about doing that scene how he like that was like that was the first take when he did it and I guess before then he had just like thrown out his back or something and there was like a big drama because he was supposed to perform that that move and they were like you can't do it this like the studio wanted to bring in a double because like we can't have this guy get hurt. If he gets hurt then we're fucked and he was like nah I'm gonna do it and yeah I guess he's like the first try he does it and they did like two other takes and he fucked up both the other takes where he's like but the that one in the movie is the first take of him doing that. It's sick that he got it first time. I was like yo that's crazy and yeah but I mean some of the stuff in in Stomp the yard is I mean it there isn't as much cringy stuff in this movie as there is in like the other like you got served as a whole cringe fest save last dance as a cringe fest like this movie like it probably the movie takes everything very seriously and like it there isn't as much like again some of the story is kind of cheesy or not believable.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:18

There's the whole convenient plot where it's like the not convenient but like the whole the big drama is that the uncles used to be for the eh's why he like he doesn't want a thin line the dean of the school his daughter yeah the dean of the school is Megan Good's father and he doesn't want he wants him Grant you know it's typical that because Grant's like that typical like not typical but like that white black dude who like is the snobby and he is he has a future set up for him and and he has connections he has this he has that yeah and Columbus Short is like he's the street ghetto kid and we don't really he's trouble and he's just he's a hip hop dancer.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:56

He's a landscaper yeah yeah he's a grass cutter we don't want we don't want you mixing with with the laborer like that. Nothing I'm just that's that's that's why you don't like me you cut grass ultimate explains a lot so that's like the big drama of the movie and then he gets expelled or so he gets expelled because they find out about his past uh which it's so stupid which is like what why wouldn't why would it matter what what would any of that have to do with him going to school like it has nothing to do like oh your brother died in a street in a you know in a like man no one knows that he caused it yeah like how would anybody know yeah like it's just if anything he's the victim in in a scholarship like if I had to happen to me and oh my brother got killed in front of me give me this give me that scholarship that'd be the reason why you would you get a scholarship I need to get out of this environment that nope we're sending you back. That's I would have been like you know my name not my story. That's that's Kevin's bio from tumbling that's I got that tattered on my shoulder.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:57

Yeah you're blasted now huh you have a palm tree and you know my name not my story not the jersey in that bandana I'd take it back bro that's the way you actually dress back then I did too until you kept my jersey but uh Lakers oh yeah I did so what what what what's what's your favorite dancing from Stomp the Arc?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:17

Favorite dancing let's see I want to say the the the final the finale when they start crumping all crazy nah like you can't just go over the showtime yeah the intro please introduce yourself showtime poor cop extra green well he's uh and he's knucklehead knucklehead knucklehead um no I think my favorite dancing well had to be the one in the pool yeah when he's solo when he's by himself yeah when he's by himself he literally goes hard that's the name of the songs up I think so I think that's a good dance scene I think it it's cool what about you they get into it man they get into it I think the I like the pool scene and I like I like the the what the Rep Your City thing too I think that's a good that's a cool showcase of like that guy being a good dancer.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:03

Yeah man I I just rewatched Tomp the yard this I literally watched it this morning and it's funny because they also have a training montage in it too yeah where they're like and it's funny because like some of them are really ripped so they're like shirtless yeah but then you have pork chop in the back just like shit with the shirt on the shirt on and oh that's a badass scene though are you talking about the one where they're like running and they go on top of that rock scene into the sunset. But like for dancing.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:25

And it's funny it's fucked up too how like pork chop is like they're running and pork chop is of course the the chubby one can't make it so then oh I'm gonna go back and help them like just hey it's not fucked but it's like it's it's like supposed to show up like brother shit. Yeah he's he's they're bonding I guess and then yeah we get the whole like a bunch of shirtless men a bunch of shirtless shirtless sweaty men staring at the sunset. Tatus Tatus Tatus Tatas Tatus Tatas Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh The funniest shit in Stomp the Yard it's I think it's like it's before they the final dance and they're all putting their hands in the or hands in you know Tatas and they're all putting their hands in and you see the one fool put his hand in and there's a fucking pipe wrapped around it's a hand I'd be like get that fucking thing away from me like what why are you just walking around with that on your fucking head I forgot about I forgot about the snake morning I thought you see the hand in like the snake I'm like I would have been like motherfucker get out of here like no no we're not shaking hands with you you don't like snakes? No I fucking hate reptiles they fucking love I fucking hate them all there I think you don't hate reptiles.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:29

Oh okay you can't do snakes I can't do that. Well you can't do pythons? No it's a snake right it doesn't do shit.

The Dillons That's different that thing doesn't it doesn't have fangs or at least they wear out when I play with it. No man I don't fuck with snakes. I don't like reptiles I just I need reptiles like chameleons you can't do? Especially chameleons what I don't if you can iguana if you can change your color I don't want I don't want to know you Ariana did it we didn't say shit that's why I don't fuck with him do they yeah and look at him look where I got him you stay stay your color stay in your lane pick a color and that's who you are but all right going back in City I'm like some of us get darker and lighter as it's if you get a 10 I don't fuck with you anymore.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:30

I'm gonna go 10 after this I'm legit going to the beach right after this another thing I do like from Stomp the Yard that I think is a little bit underrated. It's the one where they're uh I think it's when the whole like team bombing starts happening but they start practicing in the I think there's like trees and they do the little Yeah, like in like the f like the woods or the forest.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:51

Yeah I like that training montage?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:53

Yeah. I think that the the dancing and this all the like the montage like it's pretty good. Like the one you got served is is So stupid.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:00

It's like something also too, like it's not like deep, but like it is. The cinematography was like way better in this.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:07

Yeah, it's more com it's it's it's a better made movie. Like the direct like there's like the director is competent.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:12

For whatever reason, Sway was like a big comp part of any competition because I don't know about y'all, but I've never seen Steppin' like this before.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:21

Sway and the monit.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:22

Sway and the monit. You know that whole training of them, like obviously go online at run and all that. It kind of reminds me of remember the Titans? Remember how they did uh same thing. Yeah, when they go to camp. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:34

Yeah, I mean it's obviously very much about like black history, like the whole reason that he he joins the thing because he goes to the heritage hall or whatever and uh sees all the people that have all the like the black icons that have been in fraternities or sort sororities, and so that's you know, I mean that it tries to get like deep with it, I guess, and you know, the importance but I was like, I'd I'd pull up. Yeah, I mean, no, it it it it's uh I I it's it's a good movie. It's a good movie. I like it. I I think it holds up pretty well compared to some of the other ones we've talked about, which are so far what we've talked about.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:08

This is the best one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:09

You know, because even like the first step up again, I I like it, but it's I it's kind of dated, it's very 2006.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:15

And but I like the music in step up because when they like did the the pianos and the beats. Like then the music was good in it too. And the music choices in this one were good too.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:26

Yeah, all of I mean all these movies, even though whether they're good or not, tend to have really good soundtracks and or music in them. Like all of them. Like if you look up a soundtrack for any, like even Save the Last Dance has a lot of bangers like songs that you're like, oh yeah, like I, you know, that's that I that you bump regularly anyways. Something art, same shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:42

Electric Boogaloo too.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:43

Electric Boogaloo, I don't know. I've never no one's watching no one ever watched it, but I'm sure You got Cert has pretty good. Yeah, you got certain is fucking, you know. I mean, there's they're they all have great songs, and and you know, that that that's not the the music and the dancing tends to not be the problem of the movies, just the stuff that's that's surrounds the stuff that's not the dance season.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:59

Hold on, before we finish, like move on. Like, we're they're not gonna shit on Step Up One. Like, they didn't have that scene with when they're dancing like by the boats, like the the halls or whatever, the hall that they rented for whatever reason. That's a pretty good scene where they're like and then Mario starts singing. I I you know what I I I'll be honest with you, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:17

It's kind of cheesy to me that scene. That scene is cheesy too. I just like all like the entire room knows the same dance.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:25

Okay, but you don't question you don't question that in Footloose?

SPEAKER_05 1:08:27

No, it's just line dancing. Absolutely not. Well, line dancing people people know what line dancing is.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:32

That's like a you know line dancing, you know, line dancers get together and rehearse, right? Like for like like back in the day I met this girl who was a line dancer at babies, they would get together and rehearse.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:43

Well, that's fine. I mean, for that's fine, but I mean for the most part, the line dancing, like you're it's line dancing.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:48

It's only on one song, though. I feel like every song has a different line dance.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:55

That's one of my favorite dancing, so like it's not shit on it.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:58

I'm not I'm not, I'm just when I watch it, I'm just like Nah, fuck the act. I don't know. That scene for me is in that Mario song is weird. I don't know, man. Step up's just a little, it's a little corny. But to be fair, they're they're Disney movies. Low-key, they're Disney movies. Yeah, they didn't know. They're made by Disney, so it's not on the streets.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:18

Yeah, it's not and honestly, but it is, dude, you even in Step Up One, we have the little brother get killed, skinny.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:23

Like you guys are But it's not as bad as Little Saint.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:25

Whoa, skinny? Come on, skinny dying like that?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:29

Nah, because like I'll be honest, I don't I didn't even remember that.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:32

And then they're boost and then if you guys remember, Step Up is pretty deep. They're boosting cars.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:37

Well, you got served, they're selling drugs, bro. That's what I'm saying. But they're boosting cars. We don't even know.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:44

At least Step Up lets us know that these was a boosting cars.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:46

You got served, but you don't know what it is. Yeah, yeah, but here they're letting us. But the mafia man comes in a big ass black Yukon.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:51

And what do you what do you think kidnaps you?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:53

Okay, and then Step Up One, he gets killed.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:55

Hold on, sir. He gets killed for stealing a Yukon. Damn.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:59

And then Justin Bieber made a song about Yukons 20 years later.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:02

So we should never write a name.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:05

My mom had a Yukon for a while.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:07

Doesn't Jesse have one right now?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:08

Is that what that is? No, it's not a Yukon. It's not a Yukon. Anyways, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:12

I see what I'm saying, like even Step Up One is pretty deep, so let's not.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:15

No, because I mean that's the whole yeah, I mean, because the whole point is the he's doing ch he's doing community service because they were he got he gets in trouble and then and then it's like the whole thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:23

And he's a foster kid, and then we get introduced to Alice and Stoner in that movie. So like let's let's not completely say that it's like no.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:33

I'm not saying it's shit. I'm not saying I'm not saying it's bad. I I like it. I just think I'm just saying the storyline for like what it's worth, it's pretty solid. That's fine. Hey man, speak your truth, bro. That's why we're here today. We're here to talk about these. We all we all have love for these movies. Some of us love more than the other ones, you know, and it's fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:47

I agree.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:48

You don't respect Lil' Saint? Fuck little Saint. I don't respect Skinny. Fuck Skinny.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:53

I'm about to fucking throw this table at you, bro. Who is this guy?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:00

We're all here for little Saint. Look, man, Skinny's death is like sadder.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:06

I honestly didn't remember that that guy died in that movie.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:08

Who is that again? You don't know Ball.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:11

I don't. I I haven't watched the first step up in a while. I did not watch it, I did not re-watch it for this for this episode.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:16

So the reason why like it's like such like a thing to me is because back in the day we had cogs. So like you could get the stars network free for three months. And it was always on there. It was always on there, bro. So I would just watch it a lot. So it's just like a childhood movie that's a good thing. This is when you've you've seen a lot. Yeah. Alright, I get that.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:32

I get that.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:32

I get that. Valid. I got it. And then once they took it off, I stopped watching it until they put it on YouTube.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:37

Yeah, that's where these movies end up. That's where most of these movies end up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:41

YouTube with ads.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:43

Yeah, so so Stomp the Yard, I think we all we agree it's a bit that's a classic. It holds up, I think, pretty well for the most part.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:49

The best one that we've covered so far.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:50

Yeah, definitely. It's that it's not you guys served, despite Lil Saints' tragic death. And so that's dozen this 2007. And then the next year, 2008, this is when America's best dance crew starts. And this is and then the first season obviously is has the Jabbawockies who this is like when like dancing is like and this this is like I think like the like Stomp the Yard. And even Stomp the Yard is like the height of like MTV for our generation. Obviously, like it was big in like the 90s and 80s, like for our our like my parents.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:22

We had MTV and MTV2. MTV2 was a more hip-hop one, and MTV was like more like 16 and pregnant.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:29

And then I remember like at my at my grandma's house, she had like all the movie channels or whatever. So they had MTV hits and MTV jams.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:37

Did you ever have VH1? Yeah, I have VH1. I love VH1. I think this is like the for whatever reason it was like the I remember as like the hip-hop era because everybody like little Wayne started blowing up, and then 2009 comes along, we get Drake, we get Tiger, we get like all these was and then VH1, MTV2, super huge right up until 2012, 2013.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:58

Yeah, and that's kind of when these movies started tailing off. So like this is why I think like because this is I remember yeah, coming home and you'd come home and you'd watch MTV, and this is like they have all those shows they had seen him pregnant, yeah, yeah. And then what was the bus one? Or Next, remember Next? Next Broom Raiders, like all those sick. All those shows they were doing.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:19

Dude, you just unlocked the mess.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:21

Yeah, bro. Like these are all like these, like, and I think like the music of that era like you're talking about, and like a lot of that music is making its way into these movies. Yes, these movies tend to include artists who are kind of big at this time. You got your Neos, your Chris Browns.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:33

There's always like one rapper, one something that's big in there, and then there's always a celebrity that you're like gonna be judging the content.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:39

Yeah. And so I think like stomp that I think that kind of helps stomp the art a bit, because like 2006, 2007, like it's like that they're making it for that audience. So that audience is there watching MTV. We're seeing the actors with their commercials or the or the videos, the videos for songs in the movie you're playing on MTV, then they're showing like the you know, remember when music videos would show like clips from the movies that they're a part of, so like there's stuff like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:02

Is this also when like everything is a contest, so like they have America, America, I American Idol, so you have to vote in. Yeah, American Idol had already been had been around for a while, but I think it's because I remember like it was like America's best answer was like that, but you had to call in and vote for your Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:16

I mean the other shows had done that, but I think it this is the first. I mean, because there was like I I don't know if if wasn't it a text?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:21

Like you It was like a text or a call.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:23

Yeah you could do both because like texting because it they used to charge you for per text that you sent. Oh really?

SPEAKER_05 1:14:28

Yeah, you didn't get them pre you gotta get them prepaid cards, baby.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:31

Shut up. Even then in high school. Well, I think yeah, did you have uh did you go straight to unlimited?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:38

No, I had a my first phone was a little virgin mobile phone. I get like a twenty I think it was like twenty or twenty-five dollar card for like minutes. Yeah, not for the prepaid phones.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:48

You can text on it?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:49

Yeah, but I'll take away my minutes.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:51

Oh, they would count towards your minutes.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:52

Yeah, like for every text that you sent out, I think it'll take off like probably minutes, like I think, or something like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:59

Because when I had a phone, I went over my texting limit by because they charged me 10 cents per text. I ended up going my first time I went$250 over. Yeah, and then my dad raised up my texting limit, and then I didn't know that he did that, so the next month I didn't use it. Oh he was just rolled over to my other one, and he's like, I was capped off at 500, so I can send 250 and I can receive 250, and I can't go over that.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:23

It's a lot of dick pics.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:29

I was like, I'm not texting on the camera. No, mine did. But then I wasn't taking pictures like that. Ah, alright, alright. Alright. Wait, when was that era? For me, it was like 2008, 2009.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:44

Yeah, it's like 06, 07, 08. Like, I feel like that's a lot. It was like my dad gave it to me, like, but it was like a phone he had had, but it was like a prepaid one that you had to buy the the minutes or the cards.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:57

My dad would just give me his old phone and then just put minutes on it.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:00

This is like the time of like the the you'd watch MTV and you know they show the commercial, like, dial this and you can print. What song do you want?

SPEAKER_02 1:16:07

Your ringtone or your callback tone.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:08

Dude, the ringtones were crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:10

The only one that sticks with me from that time is fucking the gummy bear song. I am a gummy bear. Yeah, that fucking I hate that song, really. I love that song.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:18

My ringtone for forever was was pretty Ricky on the hotline. That was my shit.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:23

So, this is what I used to do, and this is how fucking funny it was. Your voice recording. Nah, I would record songs on the stairs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like my mom would be driving and I'd be listening to 93.3, and then like young money would come on, and I'd be like, everyone, shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:38

And then I would just make it my rings.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:40

I remember you could do it. Was um everybody bounced by ASIC Tribe. Oh, fuck.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:45

You're so good.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:46

No, but you know what I thought was actually pretty sick back then was um, you know how when you would call somebody, they'll have that little song that you could listen to? Yeah, like a callback. How would people do that?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:56

I used to know how you could order it. I remember my friend for the longest time had this like he had like it was like a country song. It was before like it was cool to like country for us, and I was like, dude, what is this shit?

SPEAKER_07 1:17:04

Yeah. No, but you know what's so cool about that? My homie used to be my homie had money, or his parents did, so he would buy the ringtones, and then you could just Bluetooth them to someone. So then he would just Bluetooth them to me, and then like, so my first phone, I had a corrido on there, and for whatever reason, my mom calls me during class and I don't have it on vibrate, and just in the back of the class, ando bien pedo, bien loco. And then everybody just they knew exactly. And then the other one was este El Enamorado, si domana taradara, me la lleva parties. Soy muy soy enamorado. Who's the nickel? I don't even know who it is, dog.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:46

The nickel.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:51

What do you know about that?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:52

Is that nickelback? I don't think I've heard that song.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:55

Look at this photo.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:59

You remind me of what I really am. My favorite nickelback video is Deadpool and um Ben Savage's older brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What they're singing. And then he goes, I'm tired of this Nickelback. Hey, and then he just gets it.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:12

Yeah, he lists all their accolades and he's like, Dude, I wish I was into that music back then, dude. Nickelback? No, just in general, like I feel like there was always like a dad genre. I was never into it.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:23

Nickelback?

SPEAKER_05 1:18:24

Like that type of music? Like the divorced dad rock?

SPEAKER_07 1:18:26

You've never heard party like a rock star and just Oh, I didn't like that song.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:30

SPEAKER_07 1:19:00

Like me when I was in high school, like freshman year. I was listening, I got into uh Three Days Grace and that led me down the road to like, I don't know, ah damn, I don't remember the song, but and then Never Back Down came, so the red jumpsuits. Yeah, and then I would just go down and rap it with the big thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:18

SPEAKER_02 1:19:30

It wasn't a phase mom. No, the closest thing I got to was the backstreet voice, but that was not even like you finish.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:43

Never mind.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:44

No, no, no, go, go, cause the Baxtery voice is the closest thing I got because of those little things that I got.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:50

The little CDs?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:50

No, but it wasn't a CD, it was more like of a little chip and you put into a little like a little.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:55

Oh, yeah, yeah. You get for like McDonald's or something, right? Didn't McDonald's give them out? Yeah. That's a little that's a little different from a creator nickel bag.

Yeah. That's a boy band, bro.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:08

SPEAKER_02 1:20:27

SPEAKER_07 1:20:30

I like the spirit. I I can't you're just saying he's he's he's got the right spirit. He's just a little confused.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:35

SPEAKER_02 1:22:13

I think I actually have that song saved. But other than that, no, I don't have that.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:18

And then I got into well for me it was Three Days Grace, and then it was Lincoln Park.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:22

Oh yeah, Lincoln Park, that's my shit, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:23

Lincoln Park got hurt a little bit because of Pancho.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:27

Transformers put me onto Lincoln Park even more.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:30

There was a yeah, they had a they had a Lincoln Park song every movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:33

Literally. Didn't know that. I like Transformers.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:36

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:37

Well, but see, this is how cool nostalgia is because we get into like these things talking about like the prime MTV days, prime music days.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:44

Yeah, you know what I missed from back then are the MTV music videos. Oh bro. Those were sick. Well, like around like four or five o'clock. All the time, bro.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:53

Video drop, gotta be gotta get home in time, get on and turn MTV on. They have to have the countdown.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:57

106 and party.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:58

Shoot Terrence J.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:59

CRM, like vividly like, oh damn, I gotta watch this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:03

But that's that's like this era though. Like Lollipop. Lollipop. Lil Wayne?

SPEAKER_07 1:23:07

Lil Wayne, Lollipop. That was like it was because I used to watch all the music channels. So for me, I used to watch MTV2, MTV, what was Tres Mundos, Mundos, which was like the the Mexican version of the Banda MX? Banda MX, but there was another one that it was like Mundos, so it was like it ended up becoming like Me Too, but like it was like the more Mexican, like and they kind of would and they would feature like the they so I would watch MTV for hip hop and then I would watch Me Too for uh Hashtag Me Too. No, not that one. The for like we seen in Yandeel, that he yanked. All the regaton, that's how I got into it. So like and then Remex was like where I would listen to Banda. And then we had the obviously like I had cogs, so you had all the music channels one through like whatever 300, and then eventually Sirius was on there, so I discovered Shade 45 and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:00

Damn, yeah. Good times, man. Those are good times, good eras. We had just kind of tying back to yeah, I mean, this all this nostalgia from that time for sure. I think you know, with you plus with the the build-up, like the rising popularity of America's best dance crew, Jabbawockies, you know, that was like insanely popular at that time. That first season was.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:20

You didn't want to wear that mask.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:21

Yeah, it was like all the clothes. Yeah, it was like they were everywhere, and then they even appear in Step Up To the Streets. So yeah, I mean, and I so that starts 2008, and then 2008, obviously, like it and 2008 is Step Up Two The Streets.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:35

I mean, can we just agree that Moose is the GOAT?

SPEAKER_05 1:24:39

Moose is amazing. I think I think Moose, when you think about these movies, you remember like especially this one in particular, you remember the whole the moose scene and the reveal that he's a dancer.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:47

There's Tatimbalin.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:49

Way I R. Banger. Banger. So that this is this is the follow-up to step up. It's it centers on a whole new cast of characters, but Channing Tatum does show back up in the intro for like a dance battle against like the new main girl.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:03

Yeah, they did try to switch it to like a main girl or like a girl perspective, right? Yeah, it's except that at MSA, which is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:08

Yeah, so it's the same school from the first movie, and now yeah, they kind of like flip the gender. So now the girl, now the Andy, I think is her name, is the she's like the Channing Tatum part basically where she's from this she's from the streets, just like me, and has to, you know, in an effort to her mom has just I'm trying my heart.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:27

I'm trying to, bro, but it's like like I know him, you know, like like this one doesn't have to be the street for you. This one doesn't have to be from the street. This foe had a a ghost.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:37

Like, why are you this foot had Gloria She's worried about the wrong shit? He's trying to protect the hood. He had paranormal activity taking on in his house.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:47

But continue, continue.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:50

Come on, guys. It's not about what neighborhood you grew up in, right? The streets for everyone. We all live in the streets, all right?

SPEAKER_00 1:25:57

I've been here now.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:00

So she's the the Channing Tatum Role where she's you know, she's a troubled youth. Her mom has just her mom died when she was young.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:05

Okay, I thought that was supposed to be Allison Stoner's.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:07

That's I think what's everybody thought when the movie came out. Like, oh, that's her growing up, but it's not. It's not. It's not. I guess I guess not.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:13

We get that in the third one.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:15

Right. Yeah, because she comes back and she just plays the character again. So that would be that would have been weird.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:19

Yeah, we'll get to that one.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:20

But so yeah, so so she's in this dance crew called the 401. And like the open the movie opens with like this dancing like on a on a subway train or whatever. On a and the the in the movie, these movies take place in Baltimore. And so like the opening the opening dance sequence is the 401 crew, and I guess they have to upload their dance, like they have to do some these crazy dance stunts and open, they like record them and upload them online to get an invite to this like secret, I guess, dance competition called the streets that no one knows where it's gonna be or when it's gonna happen. You just get a text and you gotta be there.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:54

You just gotta put up a video array and then hopefully you get a call.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:56

Yeah, literally. And and and the opening, like after the opening dance scene, it's like the Andy's the main character's like guardian foster mom, who's like it was her mom's best friend, took her in, is watching the news, and like the news is like another another terrorizing attack from the 401 dance crew. They've been terrorizing Baltimore all over like in itself.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:16

For whatever reason, it's so bad that they're dancing, like making videos and like putting up some graffiti. It's like terrorism to them, though.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:24

Like that's the worst thing happening in Baltimore, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:26

And then like Andy's dating the main guy.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:28

Well, he's like into her, like he keeps he's like, When are you gonna come around? Like, when are you gonna and she's like, Oh, I'm just busy. He's like, Yeah, you always say that.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:34

He's like all half naked, like and I'm just like Buffalo looks way older than her.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:38

He's like, she's still in high school, yeah. Yeah, and like this is another one where like they this dance crew, like the the main guy acts as if like it's like a an actual gang organization. Like, he's like, You need to come put in work, like she's not been coming around. Like he keeps bitching the whole movie that she doesn't, she's not showing up because so the his her guardian is like you need to. Like, like, I'm done with you, like I'm done with this shit. Like, you can just if you're not gonna listen, you're gonna go live with your aunt in Texas. And then so then she she storms out, and then Channing Tatum's character, Tyler Gage, shows up from the first movie, and he you know, he kne knew her from when she was a kid and tells her, like, I'll talk to your to your foster mom or whatever stepmom or whatever it is, and you know, she'll agree to let you stay if you go to MSA, the school from the first movie, and she's like, Oh, how am I gonna get in there? Blah blah blah. And she's like, No, fuck that. And so then they battle they battle for it in a club that has trampolines in the floor. Fire. Which you know, fire. Let's do it. Let's watch that, right? I want to fire it. Oh, y'all watch that with them? We just watched the open the opening dancing. Oh, okay. And honestly, like I've never been to a club with the trampoline floors, but but I want to. I want to.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:45

Bro, I don't know why it was so lit that this dude jumped off the thing onto the trampoline and took his shirt off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:51

I I don't that's well that wins in the battle of the couple. That wins in the battle, apparently. Wait, wait, so I was like, how how was that decided that he won? Yeah. And it's so funny too. So like the main, the like the main lead of the the male lead of the movie, the guy from Step From Ston or You Got Served and Wild and Out, he's like in the club in the beginning, like in a hoodie and a black hat. Like he's like I if I'm seen here, my life is over.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:13

Someone's someone from MSA sees the beer.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:16

This is like part of the funny thing too, which like again, all the leads of these movies are white people. And like, so then when she loses the battle, he's like, Don't even worry about it.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:23

You're dope. They're only hating on you because you're dope. It's like, what? It's like, nah.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:29

But then he doesn't act like that the rest of the movie. He doesn't talk like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:32

But then it's like your character's not that. I've seen you in a while.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:35

Then now, bro, be just a white boy that can dance. Like, just be the white boy that dances. Oh, yeah, that shit is so funny. And then so Channing Tannen gets her in the school. No, he only gets her in audition. He gets her in audition. That's right. And she uh goes to audition and and you know, just doing her hip hop. It's like a mirror of the same glass dance scene, except the dancing is actually like good. And then for whatever reason he says yes, yeah, she gets in the school, so now she's like trying, and then like bec she can't balance school and her uh hanging out with the dance crew, and so the like then like the whole like the only thing is that the guys are getting tired of it. Why isn't she coming? She used to show up, and I'm like, dude, all you guys are doing is hanging around and playing video games. Like, what is she missing that is so important? But I guess she's like missing like rehearsals or whatever. I'm like, then just push the rehearsal out to later in the day. Like, wait, why are you guys doing them business hours? Like, because they're a bunch of old adults and she's like a teenager, like they just happen to have the same days all. I'm like, so all 37 of you dancers can be here. None of you guys have anything else going on. None of you.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:34

All of you guys have money for like a house. They just live in the city.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:37

Yeah, they all live in a home, and I'm just like, what do you what do you need her to be here for? Other than to like fucking want her there.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:44

She's a kid. Yeah, like wait, why she's in high school.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:46

Yeah, creepy ass motherfucker, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:48

Because MSA isn't uh isn't like an after like after high school thing. I think so, yeah. No, the high school thing, because Channing in the first one transferred from his high school to the other.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:56

Right, yeah, yeah. So and then so she gets kicked out of the the crew, and then like she goes to school the next day, all mad, all upset, and then like I don't remember what his name is, but the guy Chase? Is it Chase? Yeah, yeah, that's right. So Chase is like, sees that she's upset, like, what's wrong? And she's like all like bummed as if she's like, you know, and she's just everything. The line is literally, I got kicked out of my crew. And he's like, it's like okay. Like if somebody came up through was like, I got kicked out of my crew, man, I'd be like, like a they all had like just a minus thumpy or they had like a little bit of a cringe factor. Yeah, I mean, because again, they all treat these dancing, this dance stuff like it's life or death. Yeah. Because it is.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:36

So you don't know what it is. No, because it's like it's like deeper than like the the director is like he dance in the royal ballet, and then his prize student is Cassie before the other.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:48

Yeah, and also and the director is the is the older brother of Chase.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:52

So that's like it's very serious this MSA school that like for whatever reason they don't allow like even Moose because he can't do we don't want Moose yet, but then we get introduced to the goat.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:01

Yeah. Well, yeah, so and then the the the the whole thing of the movie is she's been kicked out of her crew, so then Chase says, let's start our own, and then they kind of go through the they they collect all the outcasts at MSA, and then she's already been introduced to Moose, and Moose has revealed that he knows how to dance. Like he comes off, he's like this little like nerdy, twerpy, skinny white dude. And that's Robert Alexander the Third. Yeah, call me Moose. And then like and then his his phone rings and it's Timbaland the way I are, and she's like, Andy's laughing at it.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:31

For whatever reason she's hating on the side.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:32

Yeah, I'm like, first of all, that's a banger of a song. Why is that corny?

SPEAKER_07 1:32:35

Bro, that song on a treadmill while you're walking, sheesh. Lose like 10 pounds. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:40

And then he's and then he's like, that's like it's dope, and then he shows her that he knows how to dance.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:45

You're lying if you never try to recreate that scene at least like a little bit on the stairs.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:49

I feel like my knees will give out.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:51

Now.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:53

Just in general, dude, the way he goes back when he's walking down.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:55

Oh, well, I'm not doing all that. It's like a little bit on Poco. It's like I'm not him.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:00

I think I do the little size step. Yeah, right. Just a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:03

It's like the it's like the Joker scene. You do a little bit, you don't do the whole thing.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:06

But it's but it's it's like a it's I remember even as like when I watched it back in 2008, like everyone being like, oh, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_04 1:33:12

This dude can dance.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:13

Yeah, he could. You know, and then obviously, you know, you find out he's like a trained dancer, like, but obviously nobody knew who this guy was. Like, no way they no one knew who these people were. And now you know you can't.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:22

He's just like an electrician for whatever reason at the school. He majors in the world.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:25

The lights, he does like the lights or whatever for like the the sage or whatever.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:29

That's how deep the school is. They have even like a light program.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:31

Yeah, and so they they they gather all these outcasts like Infinity Gems, and you know, they have now they're like good, this is their crew. It's all like the the the the los not not losers, but they're just outcasts. They're the weird people that they don't know what to do with in the school. They don't fit into what the school's regiment or what the school thinks is the uh their ideal student would be. And they start rehearsing and then yeah, so they're rehearsing for a bit, and then they go to scope out their scope out the the competition, they all go to the club. They get a laugh, they they they yeah, they get fucking laughed, they they battled Andy's old crew.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:06

And Andy wasn't like Andy knew they weren't ready, so she goes, No, but these was a like yeah, yeah, we got it with a new crew, ta-da-da-da.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:13

I think they even make a joke about high school. I think like get that high school musical stuff out of here or something like that. Get that you're right. And then they say high school music was then so then after that they're kind of they're embarrassed. Yeah, and then one of the crew people from the home girl. Yeah, she like leaves and then joins Andy's gang. So there's now just we got two gangs, just these dance gangs just building up. And then and then obviously, yeah, they're like the Andy and the main characters start falling in love. But yeah, I mean, I think again, like this movie I think gave people like they upped the dance scenes.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:51

The dancing were so much better. All the dance scenes are like they're way better shot, way better done, and then even the you know how like the from the first step up that like whatever that party scene, they even did the party scene way better.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:02

The party scene. The salt when they do dance, the salt. Yeah, that's a way better. Robin Thick. Fucking fire.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:09

Andy in the red dress looking good. But I think even Step Up Step Up 2 does well is like, even though you don't like I don't know all the characters' names, but the Andy's new crew, like, they're all distinct enough that you can at least like they have a different style.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:22

Each of them brought something different.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:23

Yeah, where's like Stomp the Yard or you got served? Like, I don't know who any of these people are. Like, I know, like, I know Neo, I know Port Chop, I know Knucklehead, you know, I You know the first the you know the faces.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:31

Yeah, but then like the background characters, you know. They're all served, I think it was only like four. It was like three or four people you know.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:36

It's B2K and then it's all these other people.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:39

And then and this one, which one was your favorite favorite outcast?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:42

I like what what's her what the Japanese girl. I don't know her name, but I was gonna say yes. She's so fun. She's really good.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:49

She's the the Asian that gets really into black culture and she just gets like immersed in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even her parents are, you know?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:56

I think yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:56

Because we found that in the third, we find that on the third one, no?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:59

Oh, did she come back in the Oh yeah, yeah, she does. She does. She does. Yeah. I love her though. But yeah, I like I like the I think I think this one was like the iconic movie of like the two like the mid-2000s, as far as the dance movies, the whole moose, the moose of it all is like the whole dancing in the rain thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:13

Yeah, the final dance is so poster speech about the streets, how the the streets weren't wars, it was all about coming together.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:21

Yeah, and that's what I was laughing at, but like and like Andy, because they don't let them compete at the in the final battle. They're like you're they're like laughing them out of there. Yeah, yeah. And then she like gets up on the DJ stage.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:31

But they got it, they only got invited to the battle because that video they put where they make fun of and they prank the old crew, and then the guy for Chase gets jumped.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:39

I forgot that Chase gets jumped. These dance, dude, these dance battles, it's no it's no joke, brother. I forgot that. The streets is wild, bro.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:46

Good thing you got out of them.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:48

Yeah, that's I'm safe now. I made it out the streets, man. That was me, bro. Getting jumped over over a dead fish. It it's so yeah, and then the finale, yeah, the funny guess. Andy to in an effort to win everybody over, she like makes this big speech about what the streets actually are, and and I'm like, You're a white girl in Baltimore explaining to a bunch of people that but you gotta remember that it's like that because Pac came to Baltimore.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:15

He was a theater kid, too.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:16

Yeah, but it's just I'm just like, you're not the one to be delivering the message. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:20

Same thing.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:20

Puck wasn't either, we just believed them after a while. He was a drama kid.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:25

It's just it's it's it's it was funny to me to watch that. I love that scene. It's a funny scene just to see again. Here's this like five foot two white girl, like, guys, you don't know this is what the streets are actually about.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:35

Oh, but it's coming.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:36

It's me on this podcast talking about the streets. That that's what it's giving. But I'm actually from the streets.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:42

Yeah, I was gonna say, I believe you were from the streets.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:44

I'm deep I'm from deep within the streets. And then so yeah, that leads to the yeah, the awesome final dance sequence.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:50

Even the DJ is funny.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:51

Yeah, he's like cracking jokes. And then like and then like if for whatever reason they sh they decide we're gonna go dance in the streets where this all started, so they're gonna go actually dance on an actual street because they've been calling at the streets, but they all just they just dance inside of clubs the entire movie. But they're so they go do the final dance, and it's of course it begins pouring rain out of nowhere. Deep rain, and it was just like flooding and then they just happen to have the flashlights for the Yeah, yeah, the flashlight gloves, and then but it's a fucking awesome dance sequence.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:19

Fucking amazing, bro.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:20

Moose kills it.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:22

You ain't never I know Kevin's lying if he said he's never tried it in the shower.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:26

What?

SPEAKER_07 1:38:26

Dancing like moose.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:28

No, I haven't actually. No, my shower's not big enough to for me to dance like that.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:32

That sucks, bro. Should get a bigger shower.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:34

Yeah. Sorry, I don't have a shower. That's what I do. I have a tub. That's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:38

You have to go outside.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:39

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:39

He likes sitting on you take a bath outside in a bucket.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:45

They hose you down. He just uses the hose, the pocket hose.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:47

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, brother.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:49

So that last Is it really started raining?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:52

Yeah, it pours it starts raining the whole thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:54

It starts raining. The whole thing is raining. We just saw it. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_07 1:38:56

It was in the water.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:57

I know, but didn't this full break a pipe and the You're thinking of the third one, Bob? Oh, that was the third one?

SPEAKER_07 1:39:02

Yeah, where he breaks the pipe, where Moose does the trick on the bike and then he like he doesn't break the pipe. It's so fucking stupid because it like opens it, right? He opens the shutoff valve, which is like you don't open a shutoff valve like that. Like, but yeah, it opens the shutoff valve and then it open like the little water just comes in. Oh, wait, the yeah, never mind, never mind. And then they're in the plastic. But here they went to the streets and it started raining.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:21

That's why I always get mixed up with the step-up movies.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:24

You shouldn't, bro. The streets because it's like a whole different thing. Just the streets. Even the third one, like the whole the dancing are are so different because they shot them for 3D. Yeah, it's all 3D. That's why that was the big gimmick for the third one. But because right after Step Up Two, we went into the everything was a 3D movie. Everything had to be 3D. Green Lancer, 3D.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:41

That's literally because yeah, after Step Up 2, the the the next notable dance thing is Step Up 3D. And then at that point, it's that's the whole gimmick, and that's when everything was 3D, jackass 3D, like there's you know, which is which fucking is great. But yeah, I mean I don't I don't have I don't remember a lot about Step Up 3D. What? There's a great song by Trey Songs in it that I love a lot.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:00

Shut up, hold on, hold on. For real Tedas, you don't remember.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:02

I've seen it like once, maybe once, and I've seen like clip I've seen the dance sequences from it, like, and they're cool, they're good. The dance scenes are good from Step Up 3D, but like I don't have a lot of love or memories for it.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:13

Listen, you like the the white people like leading it. So the main guy from the third one, he's rich. And nobody wants like he doesn't want anybody to know that. And then the main girl, she's rich too. The sorry, the main villain is rich and their brother and sisters, and he sent her to infiltrate their crew. Yeah, and then Moose has no idea, so Moose is just there because he saw this who has a sick pair of Nikes, yeah. So he just follows him, joins the crew, even though he's trying to go to college with like Allison Stoner and then I think it's a really great movie too, but it's the fact that it's a white boy that's rich in New York, sends his sister to infiltrate the crew, and like he would bring her back. And then again, same thing. The dude with the curly hair, who's like one of the better dancers on the goodest side of the crews, he betrays them too and goes to the dark side, and because they they literally call themselves something dark. That's crazy. So it always it's the same trope as every movie, just yeah. And then we get Twitch in it.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:13

Oh, yeah, yeah, he is in this one.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:14

Yeah, we get Twitch, the twins, the twins go hard as shit. And then once after a couple people leave from the crew, because like I think like a couple did left with Carlos, I think is his name. That's when they get some of the old MSA crew, too. So they got the the dude that spins, they got the the Asian girl, she's working like at the Carney.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:31

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:32

Yeah, I love Step Up 3, it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:34

I'll have to check it out again. I think it's streaming too. I I haven't seen it in a long time. I just try, but I remember the big thing of it was it was 3D. And Step Up 2 and Step Up 3D made a lot of money. Like they made more money than the first one. And so these movies are like, they're like, they're successful. But this is kind of the tail end of it. That's peak. Step up Step Up 3D is probably like the end of it. Like, that's like because that's 2010, it makes a lot of money. Probably makes more money because of 3D. Like the 3D like tickets are more expensive, so people probably saw it in 3D and it worked for the movie. Like, and I think this is kind of when people are kind of like, Alright, I think we're done. Because I think this is around the third season of America's Best Dance Crew. That's with like the beat freaks and quest crew, and I think that's like the end. That's like because the show that show ran for like it ran until 2015, but I I I think it was popular like the first few seasons, and then I think people just started getting over these dance movies.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:22

I remember the last season I watched was the one with the iconic boys.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:26

That's season two.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:27

No, no, no. The little ones we watched season one and two. The iconic boys, like they had the the dudes, right? But then one of them became a coach, and he had his own little dudes, and then a whole bunch of little kids, and then it was the iconic boys, but they were little ones or something like that, and then I am I am me or something like that, and it was the dudes that would like tutel. Yeah, okay. And then it had uh Chachi Gonzalez in it. So that's the last one. D-Trix was D-Trix was the the judge. Yeah, it was D-Trix, JC Joshay from Backstreet Boys, and was it Lil Mama?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:59

Little Mama. That's the last one I watched. Yeah, yeah, I I think yeah, the last one was was the law. The last two were Beat Freaks and Quest Crew. Those were the good one.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:08

2008, 2009.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:09

Oh, yeah, no, Quest Crew and Jabawkies. That's it.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:13

I remember a couple. The last season I watched was pretty sick because Quest Crew came in second place. The first season, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:43:18

Quest crew won season three. They won season three.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:20

I know, but they came in second place in the first one.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:22

Oh, maybe. I don't yeah, I think I think so.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:24

They were like top three. Yeah, because Jaguaces blew everybody out the water. And then the second one, they were up there again.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:30

And then the third one that they won it. Because then the other one, the other group that it was good was the beat freaks. There was all the girls. They're the ones that did like the magic. That was the season three is one that has like the magic episode where they all have to do like a magic trick in their dance routine. That shit was sick. And the beat freaks had like they were like made a ball levitate as they were dancing. That shit was wild.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:49

The last season I watched was the one with it was they would bring in like obviously like whatever songs for artists for the week, but it was like peak, because like these artists were about a we cut there was the last one where they they just became famous, but they were about to like set set rocket. So it was Kesha, and it was Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, like the poor.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:08

Yeah, and that's that's literally like such a 2010.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:10

2009, 2010, right before everybody takes the fuck off. Yeah. I remember that season being so good.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:16

Yeah. Yeah, and that that's kind of when this starts tailing off because then the next one that I have of note really is the Footloose remake, which I love. That's a that's a I think it'll be the fucking banger.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:26

Best remake ever.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:28

And it's like the last like big dance movie. They made two more step-up movies, but step-up four and five are not good. Step up. I've never even seen five. Five four.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:35

The only reason that the only thing that's good about it is like the dance sequence in the end, but they're just like fighting.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:40

They made it obviously now that they're the same shit, the same story, the same thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:43

No, they're competing for uh residency in Las Vegas.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:46

Yeah. Yeah. Which who cares? Yeah, who cares anymore? Like what happened to the old school dance movies where where kids were dying? Kids were getting shot left and right over dance.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:55

Now it's like Moose made out with a girl and Allison saw it.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:58

Oh my god. Yeah, uh yeah. I'll probably but yeah, the the footloose remake is really good.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:03

Great to the first acting. Wait, did that one come out? 2011.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:08

Yeah, and so yeah, that's Juliet.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:10

I didn't see it in theaters, did you?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:11

I didn't either. I saw I haven't seen I haven't seen any of his movies in theaters. They were all at home or or pirated.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:16

Same.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:18

It was either on MTV or BET or or I watched it on my computer for free.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:22

LimeWire.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:23

Limewire or something.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:28

What is it? MP3 or YouTube to MP3 converter?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:31

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that uh the footloose remake, yeah, as we kind of tail off into the end of this, but I I it was kind of it's also coming at a time where they're they're Hollywood's remaking everything, they're remaking all these movies, and so like usually they're and usually they're bad, but I think the footloose remake was for the most part people were a fan of. I'm a big fan of Julianne Huff in this movie. The fucking the best dance sequence in stuff the Footloose, I think. Well, actually they're they're both pretty good. The the line dance sequence is really, really good. Hey and then Don't you sell me a fake? That's a good one. And then the the the one in the parking lot of like the burger joint. I love that shit.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:04

Oh, dude, when he goes, all right, what are you?

SPEAKER_05 1:46:08

With the whole funny thing with Footloose, and even with the original one too, is like so it's a town that is banned dancing and music.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:14

So he's from Boston.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:16

The main guy's from Boston.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:17

What's his name? Ken uh Ren McCormick.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:19

Ren, yeah. And so he goes to this town and I think his mom's died, so he's gonna go live with an aunt and uncle, I think, again. And yeah, so it's the premise of the first the first movie, this it's the same thing where like the the pastor of the church or the the like the main pastor of the town has a lot of influence in government and or at least politics in the And the town, and so because of some whatever event he's in the in the remake, his son died. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:44

I guess the first one I don't remember.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:45

I don't remember what the first one is, but the second one in the remake, it's his son, his son got into a car accident.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:49

Well, with the opening scene is Bobby leaving the party, and even that opening scene is pretty sick because it yeah, it it's not foot loose by the original, but it's Blake Shelton. Yeah, and then it just it's sick, and then they just died on the way home. Yeah, pretty crazy crash secrets stuff like that. Horrible crash. Terrible crash. It's a bad crash, dude. So you're like, for whatever reason, he could he didn't want anybody dancing, but it's like a fucked up crash. Yeah, the whole school mourns them. They have a whole fucking cabinet built, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:16

Yeah, and so because of that, he gets live loud music and uh dancing has been banned from this entire town. So you can't you can't do that. And like, and so the scene that the the parking lot scene where they're dancing, it's so funny because they go in there, right, and the his friend, his like I think his uncle or his grandpa works at the burgers joint. The quarterback. And yeah, the quarterback, and he goes into like he's like the drain, huh? He's like, wait, what do you got for me?

SPEAKER_07 1:47:40

And like, like I got that David Banner, bootleg.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:43

Yeah, and like it's like a bootlet, like he's like he's like, first sign of the foes, I'm gonna turn it off.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:49

You can't get another ticket, and I can't get another salation.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:52

Like, but it's so funny, it's like he's like buying drugs from his like, oh yeah, I got this, I got this good shit today, son.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:57

He'd go like bootleg David Banner, bootleg.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:01

Plugs into like some old stereo, then it starts playing through all like the like the speakers. Yeah, from like where they would announce your number for the cut.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:07

I love how there's only one cop in this whole town, one sheriff. Yeah. So as soon as he leaves, he knows that he's not coming back.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:14

Yeah, yeah. The guy he's gone for the day, and then they start playing the David Banner song. But like that whole dance scene is really good.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:20

We see that the whole town is into it, and we see that Ariel is like a really good dancer, but she's dating a fucking but she's but she's dating for whatever reason some 40-year-old man, some 40-year-old man that drives fucking like some redneck who like demolition derby or whatever. Demolition derby.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:41

Yeah, yeah. That that when when Julianne Huff starts dancing in that parking lot, that's a really important scene in my life.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:47

Uh I don't know why it's two hours long. Yeah. For whatever reason. Yeah. Like this movie's four hours long.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:52

She like gets down and goes and starts like dance like grinding against the microphone speaker.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:56

She goes, she goes, that turns you on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:59

Yeah. He's like, it don't it don't suck.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:01

For whatever reason, they're all really, really country, but they're in tune with hip hop.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:06

Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. That's the thing. Like they're all like it's all it's like I think the first fullooks is a bunch of white people. Yeah. And then this one, like there's it's more mixed. Like they're it's mixed. Like it's it makes more sense.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:16

Well, the South is mixed.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:17

Yeah, I mean, it's probably it's more realistic as to where as to who the demographic would be down there. But yeah, it's like a bunch of like, you know, yeah, there's a lot of hip hop. They're dancing to David Banner, all these country folk, apparently.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:27

I've never in my one like life. I have one song by David Banner in my party.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:31

You like me? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:32

So the fact that they're like David Banner, bootleg, and I'm like, damn, he was deep in the I mean guess that makes sense, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:38

But yeah, I mean, yeah, when when when she gets up and starts dancing, I I was that activated me. Yeah. Great.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:43

Yeah, I haven't seen You haven't seen this like I've seen bits of it. Yeah, yeah. Not the full movie completely. No, the full movie. Like I've seen the the scene where you get to talking about the one with the parking lot. Yeah, I sent it to you guys. And is that Drake?

SPEAKER_07 1:49:54

I mean, sorry, is he go does he go on to become Doc Doctor Dre? No, that's not him. That's not him.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:58

That's a different actor. funny cast of this movie is Miles Stellar.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:02

Was this his breakout role?

SPEAKER_05 1:50:04

No, he had been in stuff before this already. So he's he had been doing stuff.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:08

No, no, but I mean breakout like as in this put him because I didn't know him before, but compare it to the first Foul's, he he takes the show, like he I think he steals it a little bit more from Ren McCormick.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:20

Well yeah I mean he's a better actor than the the the the lead I mean Julianne Huff and Ren the guy who plays Ren I think his name's Kenny Wormald they're they're dancers that are just they're they're not actors.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:29

I believe Julianne helps acting I like the I believe anything she I believe anything she tells me in the movie.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:33

Yeah I bought what what was she selling proactive because of her yeah I whatever she says I goes as far as I'm concerned in that movie. That character means a lot to me personally and helped me become a man. But no this so yeah this is this is well this is Miles Teller it's a second movie.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:54

If we're gonna if we're gonna keep it a buck the mom was also like for whatever reason just that Southern charm that hear me out.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:00

You like him older I like him blonde in red boots and name Julianne Huff. I don't know I think Miles Teller took the show no I mean he he he's he's the standout character like he's like the I think he's like the moose of the movie because the whole thing is like teaching him how to dance he doesn't know how to dance and he his girlfriend wants to go dance all the time and he won't go and I can't dance. Then Ren teaches him how to dance there's the the scene where they're dancing to uh what's it yeah for the boys. Yeah and so she he learns how to dance and then man he because Miles Teller in real life knows how to dance as well. Yeah he's a like a really good dancer in real life.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:34

Oh I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:35

Yeah and yeah there's like yeah and he talks about how like this he's like people like he jokingly says someone's like well what's like one of the hardest roles you've ever had to do he's like oh probably foot loops because I had to act like I don't know how to dance. But yeah he's yeah he's he knows how to dance and so yeah he does this and then the next year he he's pro it's in project he's Project X. He's in Project X. Project X love Project X. And then from then on yeah and then after that he's in the that's so the 2011's Footloose 2012's Project X 2013's the spectacular now and 21 and over and then 2014. 21 and over was so good's Whiplash and from then on he's he's Miles Teller is so bad as well I haven't seen it well whiplash is fucking amazing.

SPEAKER_07 1:52:11

Yeah yeah that he he I mean he got big quick I wanted to see the one that he's in when he's a addict or a former addict uh oh thank thank you for your service oh only the Brave that's a great movie too yeah no he's a great actor dude he's really good yeah he got when everybody started like when you remember when girls were thirsting over him as uh from Top Gun from Top Gun I was like nah y'all gotta go back and watch Footloose yeah I've been we've been in the town tele camp since Footloose.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:32

Yeah but yeah that this is you know it's it's a footloose I mean again it's a silly premise a town that bans dancing and live music but then not only bans dancing but like it touches on the fact that you can't buy alcohol during Sunday on Sundays.

SPEAKER_07 1:52:45

So for whatever reason and Ren brings this up what happened or separation of church and state but for whatever reason because it's a small town it's very influenced and obviously like the city council is made up with the pastor the principal the yeah and the principal happy the head of the council yeah but I mean great dance sequences and that's this is another one this is a movie that I think holds up because I think it's made very well the director is a is a good director and I just think it holds up pretty well as well compared to the rest.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:12

But this is like yeah that's like the last I think notable dance movie to come out and then they kind of again they make a couple more step ups but they those movies start losing money and there really isn't much of anything else and I I think like maybe kind of what led to like the death of these movies is like well one like the like MTV starts declining as well.

SPEAKER_07 1:53:30

Everything a lot of their shows like they kind of go away from more well YouTube started taking off so like we got so we got vivo instead of MTV everybody would go to YouTube. It's more accessible then we had obviously the rise of mind the rise of social media so we weren't really paying attention it was more about posting and then Instagram could become a thing. Yes and then Instagram was like now we use it for whatever we use it for but back in the day it was very like artsy very you want to get put the great get the great filter and all that dude the f the OG instafilter I would spam the fuck out of it.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:02

Yeah but I think like Vine and then what would bec tock like that's ultimately kind of what has kept like that's what why these movies won't I think come back because like ultimately you remember these movies because of the dance sequences.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:15

Yeah mostly well I think they tried when they tried to do the remake of She's all that or he's all that they did that there was a step up TV show.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:22

Yeah and that uh what's it called I think Medicine Ray they tried to make a movie star like with the dancing and stuff but it didn't yeah but I think yeah just again MTV kind of moved away from music and they you know because then for they were making shows for a while Teen Wolf. Life of ours or RJ Berger Yeah like all that stuff and then and then again social media like you said was that that's kind of my thing. Like yeah social media is basically I think what kills these types of movies.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:47

Well that started that's when our attention span started declining because right we all had what mine was six seconds.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:52

Yeah you can just watch someone dance for 30 seconds on TikTok now.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:55

Yeah and like you don't need to watch an hour and a half of a movie about of of ridiculous storylines and Mario I don't need to see Mario Lopez tell me about the story about like I don't we don't care about that no more like now it's just show me the product and yeah but yeah I mean again these movies aren't like the greatest movies of all time but I think it's nostalgia.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:14

But it brings it's like it's a fun era of time. Like just you know we all got into a conversation about all kind of the stuff we were listening to and watching like it's just it's just nice to like when you watch these movies it just brings you back to like when you were that age. Yeah. We were like early teens like just you know and you we thought these movies were amazing. I mean not they still are I mean they're still fun to watch but we still watch Stomp the Yard. Yeah I mean Stomp the Yard's a very it's an annual watch for sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:37

That's the one I always watch I never get bored of it. Yeah I mean I just yeah it was a good saints he's ready between us he was ready to challenge you dogs right now I got the cardboard ready baby let me get my gloves on no sorry go ahead continue who do you think would win like in a dance battle in between the little saints from yes sir the college from Stomp to yards the what was the other one I was going through the step up Doug the MSA crew from 702 is smoking all the time they're killing them all.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:15

And maybe the third one gives them maybe third and second go hard or go like at each other I'm just saying just one crew from step up one crew from step up then the second one step up to the second one takes them all out MSA all died MSA takes them all out Moose and that kid that could do the fucking hundred spins on the floor.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:32

They're from the streets brought and then they could do it in the rain imagine if it wasn't raining dog didn't even have imagine that like yeah when you're from when you're when you're from the streets like me bro when you got served I mean they were dancing in the rain too yeah but but not the whole final battle I mean they could who do you think would take it stomped a yard they just stomp though oh they crump bro half of them but only half of them do.

Because remember that new style he brings it only the main guy knows how to break dance.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:01

Yeah I don't know man.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:02

So you're like okay fine let's say this let's say uh let's say the main guy in Musco at it they'll then say everybody from the MSA crew takes everybody else out.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:11

Yeah you're right.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:13

Hey man it was a good question though. It was a good question.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:15

SPEAKER_05 1:57:21

Stomp the yard or you got served you got served.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:23

They may they had people love it.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:24
