7.432 - 23.443 Tara Mohr

There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. Evil, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Krivak and DePippo.

0

23.463 - 29.691 Brit Prawat

Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.

80.558 - 97.121 Sabrina Bryan

Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine. Just honest conversations about what it means to be alive.

97.482 - 104.271 Sabrina Bryan

Well, come on down.

Chapter 2: What are the favorite movie trilogies mentioned?

623.347 - 624.87 Sabrina Bryan

That's got to be the first one, right?

0

625.331 - 626.653 Sean Gentile

Or was Xenon first?

0

626.673 - 644.731 Sabrina Bryan

Xenon won that race. That's a good question. We'll have to look it up. We need to start. We need to do a re-listen of our own podcast. And one more, of course, has been added since, which is zombies, which we know. And now Camp Rock. And now Camp Rock, which will be, and hopefully they march into Camp Rock for the third time.

644.752 - 663.927 Sabrina Bryan

I think I've seen some of the backs behind the stuff that Disney is just kind of putting out there every once in a while. It's coming on my algorithm, and I'm seeing some really... Freaking good choreography. This movie, by the way, is set two years after The Last Descendants ended. It starts with Mal being pregnant with her third child. I'm kidding. None of that happened either.

0

664.928 - 668.212 Sean Gentile

Are we going to get through the script today?

668.232 - 684.333 Sabrina Bryan

Probably not. I always like to ask this since we watch at least one DCOM a week, which is, I'm going to be honest, it's too many DCOMs. They're starting to blend. I'm not going to lie. We've done a hundred some of these. So don't be embarrassed. But did you remember anything about the end of Descendants 2 when you started this movie? Yes.

685.275 - 710.093 Sabrina Bryan

Only the, the, what I remember was Uma being the octopus in the water and the drag. Like, I remember us being like, and there was a big fight scene at the end. It was like their prom scene. Yes, it was the prom. It was a Kenny Ortega giant musical finale with tons of dancing and all that stuff. But the fight part, I remember just being like, ugh.

711.374 - 734.244 Sabrina Bryan

But I didn't remember there being any kind of solution. I remembered she dove in and she was gone. And that was kind of it. And it ended on kind of a resolution, but that was it. Yeah, I felt the same way. You remembered basically more than I did. Okay. This is going to be a fun word to say, so I'm going to keep trying to say it all day, people.

734.324 - 755.666 Sabrina Bryan

This threequel was also a bit of a logistical nightmare for Disney and their cybersecurity team because this was the first DCOM that was ever leaked. Just a week after it premiered on the channel, it arrived in full online. Supposedly, somebody who gained early access through a DVD uploaded the whole movie, something that will definitely get you jail time.

1553.58 - 1572.724 Sabrina Bryan

Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from? What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation, Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Barca, from everyday and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary.

1572.864 - 1598.385 Sabrina Bryan

This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends, where vulnerability comes out.

Chapter 4: What themes and character developments are explored in Descendants 3?

2824.982 - 2842.205 Sabrina Bryan

Mal says there's only one way to guarantee their safety. There can't be any more going in and out of the aisle. They need to close the barrier forever. Ben is immediately against the idea, but Mal assures him she doesn't want to take his dream of unity away. It was beautiful and why she fell in love with him, but as king and queen, their duty is to protect Auradon. They have no other choice.

0

2843.006 - 2863.984 Sabrina Bryan

Even Ben's dad thinks Mal's right. Ooh, tough call, Mal. I get it, but tough call. She's like, I've got my castle. We can lock the door behind me. Bitch has been queen for five minutes. No one's allowed anymore. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. I've got my three best friends. Yeah.

0

2864.004 - 2865.407 Brit Prawat

She's basically like, you're cool.

0

2865.447 - 2873.62 Sabrina Bryan

You're cool. You're not. You, you, you're cool. You're cool. And everyone else, I'm out.

0

2874.081 - 2878.386 Brit Prawat

I'm out. Close the doors. Lock them up. Please, can we get some more security?

2878.566 - 2900.41 Sabrina Bryan

Yes, exactly. I want security. Don't worry. I'll make it sound better. I'll sing you why I'm trapping you on this island for the rest of your life. Man. Oh, man. This movie got better. It did, right? This is the best movie I've ever seen. At Evie's, Mal tells her about how they're thinking of closing the barrier, and Evie is obviously against it. How will they see their parents?

2900.45 - 2917.526 Sabrina Bryan

They've been living the dream to share it with the new generations and made promises to these new kids. Evie assumes that Mal will stand up for the VKs, and that she'll be a great queen, but this is obviously weighing heavily on her mind because it was Mal's idea. Later, Mal walks out the front door and is startled by a bolt of lightning from a cloud of pink smoke.

2917.947 - 2933.871 Sabrina Bryan

Audrey appears now with the scepter and crown. When Mal asks if this is some sort of a joke, Audrey explains she wanted them, so she took them. Of all people, Mal should understand. Don't you remember we did this in the first one? And there was no security. Yeah, seriously. Was it locked even? Nope. All open. Just had to grab it.

2934.733 - 2940.602 Sabrina Bryan

I literally didn't have to get through a protective spell to grab the thing. She's like, it's mine now.

Chapter 5: What are the key themes explored in the ending of Descendants 3?

3880.551 - 3880.971 Brit Prawat

Me too.

0

3880.991 - 3909.717 Sabrina Bryan

I liked it. I think I mean, again, I think it's the movie within this whole movie. It has nothing to do with the performers or the vocals or anything that is that of an issue. It's whether the the actual song was one needed or like moved me. And this one I did like I did. This is one of my more like I like this one. They were great together on screen. And yes, I agree. Loved the movement.

0

Chapter 6: How does Mal's relationship with her father Hades impact the story?

3909.797 - 3927.354 Sabrina Bryan

I mean, you know. Yeah, this was cool. When the song ends, she says if he wants to make up for being a lousy dad, he can give her the ember. But he has some bad news. She's only half Hades. It's useless to her. But Mal says she'll take her chances. The proud dad then hands her the ember with a warning. If it gets wet, it's game over. Like at all.

0

Chapter 7: What are the consequences of Audrey's actions in the film?

3927.454 - 3929.516 Sabrina Bryan

That's it. Like I spilled one drink on it.

0

3929.636 - 3930.657 Brit Prawat

All my power is gone.

0

3930.677 - 3932.299 Sabrina Bryan

My hands are sweaty.

0

3932.339 - 3933.06 Brit Prawat

Yeah, seriously.

0

3933.861 - 3941.148 Sabrina Bryan

My God. Like this is not that great of a number. No, it's a terrible number. How many times you dropped your phone in the toilet? It's like, come on.

Chapter 8: How do the characters resolve their conflicts by the end of the movie?

3941.449 - 3964.415 Sabrina Bryan

I mean, God, as he walks away, Mal reveals that Evie was the only one that knew Hades is her dad. And as far as she's concerned, he doesn't even exist. Back at Ben's castle, he tells the guard to find if Audrey has a list of demands. And when the guard leaves, Audrey, by the way, worst guards ever. Get better guards. This is just a land of awful, awful guards. Audrey magically appears behind him.

0

3964.455 - 3978.201 Sabrina Bryan

She says she has just one proposition. She'll wake everybody up if he makes her his queen and they rule side by side. That's when you lie to her and say, of course, baby, of course I'm going to do that. I've always loved you. Take the damn scepter and knock her over the head. If I was mad, I'd look at Ben like, you're good. Go.

0

3979.083 - 3992.187 Sabrina Bryan

Yeah, but you also just say, no, you just go, yeah, of course, I've always loved you. That's what I mean. Yeah. That's what I mean. I'd be like, you're good. Go. This is more important. Grab the scepter. Handle her later. Pop her in the head one time. Put her in jail. How hard is this, dude?

0

3992.977 - 3995.143 Brit Prawat

And then obviously put the crown.

0

3995.624 - 4005.089 Sabrina Bryan

Yeah. And then put the crown right back on the pedal. Still put the evil thing right back where it goes and fire the one security guard you had because he's useless. So why keep any security at all?

4005.671 - 4005.771

Yeah.

4006.628 - 4020.486 Sabrina Bryan

He wonders if someone put a spell on her, but she says she just wasn't bad enough for him. He liked the old Audrey more because she wouldn't want to hurt Auradon. He tells her to give him the scepter and he'll forgive her. But that makes her even angrier. She says that sleeping is too good for him and too good for Auradon.

4020.506 - 4038.829 Sabrina Bryan

And she casts a new spell, turning some of the residents into stone, including the fairy godmother. Back on the Island Lost, Carlos, Evie, Jay, Mal, and Celia head through the portal. But Harry, Hook, and Gil jump through it before it closes. And it feels like maybe... They should be a little more careful while closing the portal. This has now happened twice in like a half an hour. Yes.

4039.029 - 4049.529 Sabrina Bryan

So maybe just don't click it like your garage doors. You're driving away hoping it's going to close because even I spend the whole day like, did I shut the garage? Did I close the evil portal before I left?
