3:03the things, those are all the housekeeping. But before we get to the questions, we're going to check in with how we're feeling. With my fellow sisters, we have just been through another act, Sister John. Sister Mary Erin. Sister Mary Tara. Oh, Lord, how you feeling then? I'm feeling blessed this day, you know, I'm grateful for the bountiful host of entertainment and song that we've been privy to. This was a joy, I think the first movie might still edged out in terms of being truly iconic, but as far as like sequels go from a time before sequels were like the thing that we do when anything is successful, this could have been, so this could have gone any number of ways, and I really liked it, like I think the first movie might be a little tighter, a little more iconic, but like this pulled me in just as much with early, you know, it's a type of story that you're used to seeing, but I thought the way that they did the story was really nice, and I really enjoyed, you know, the core elements of what the sister act movies

4:04offer you, which is, you know, it's the song, but it's also, you know, the sort of communal spirit that grows through the experience of both the song itself, but also the everyone being the sort of fish out of water in a, you know, tight situation and forced to kind of open up and band together with each other. Yeah, yeah, I thought this was a joy. Ah, sister Tara, what do you think? I mean, I loved it, I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I feel like I like this one a little bit more, but it's because we got more singing, Gamora Goosebumps City. When Lauren Hill, when they, when they cut to Lauren Hill leaves a choir, but then she's in there with her friend, and they sing that song with them on the piano, I cannot, but there's so many more moments, like we get at least like, maybe since our one, we get like maybe four moments, I felt like we had a little less, I love sister act, but I'm telling you right now for sister act two, they came through for me because it still was Goosebumps City. I could be with you. And we got so many great songs, and we like every time they finished it, I was like,

5:09that's so much fun. You're, you're convincing me. Now I'm like, maybe this is my favorite sister act. Maybe swing it over. What about you? You know, I liked both of them a lot, I think that's kind of, that's good because actually Disney is telling us that if you liked sister act two, you might like sister act one. You just might, you know, we'll watch it back to back to America, fair comparison. No, but what I'll say is, oh, maybe so I guess what the difference between the two of you, I think sister act one is a stronger narrative, but I think sister act two is more fun. I think it has, I think they both have a good amount of heart, but I like the fact that it's about this character who was on the run, or the witness protection, the first one, who now gets to speak to the youth, this disgruntled, disorganized youth and brings them all together, unified. And yeah, with some beautiful songs and love, Lauren Hill's sub, sub plot, yeah, I feel is though that the, the nuns sort of took a, see, back in this one, I really liked their

6:11characters and how prevalent they were in the first one, but I think the characters we got to take, you know, the front seat, and this will be Goldberg. We're also very good and very entertaining and I like seeing the youth, the high school kids of the 90s and the early 90s. So it was, it was, but it was great time, both of them are really, really fun. And yeah, I was really impressed by the fact that one of the one and two were so different, two, that this took place one year, this created one year after the first one was made. And it doesn't do that thing where peace defeats the first one is just a good, it's a good time, just a great time overall. Yeah. Yeah, it's like they came up with something that makes a lot of, they came up with a sensible way to bring her back and the motivation from the sisters to do it makes sense. And it's like not a completely dissimilar scenario, but it doesn't, yeah, I feel like a retreader or anything like that, like it really makes sense why they would pull her

7:12in. There's opening in the music teacher, you know, role. And after everything they've experienced, I was like, yeah, this seems pretty sensible as a setup. Yeah, the sensible is a setup with, it didn't have the, the same sort of subplot of the cop and the, you know, her being on the undercover or whatnot, but you know, I feel like the, the drama they replaced it with was still one or you felt the stakes and you wanted them to succeed. And the way that they set it up so quickly and then they ended it so quickly, also being very intentional with the, the stuff that they kept in the movie, I thought was really impressive. Like this was a tight movie under two hours and it moves very quickly. You don't feel like, yeah, you missed a whole lot. I think would have been maybe nice to get a little bit more of the other kids, but I feel like what we did get was still very entertaining and served its purpose in a way that made it feel fulfilling. Yeah. Yeah, I would agree. It's like, you know, it's, it's a, again, a kind of classic setup. It's like, oh, the teacher's going to come in.

8:12There's an unruly class and somehow she's going to whip them in the shape, but it didn't feel like a cliche version. I guess like the cliche maybe comes after movies like this, but yeah, this didn't ever feel like cliche. And there were times where I'm like, yeah, you could dive deeper into any of these kids but I still appreciated the ensemble drama as well as, you know, the certain people we got highlighted on. Yeah, totally. Completely. Well, without further ado, let's get into our Patreon questions today. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. Let's start with J.D.L. When the choir finally finds its rhythm, do you think it was more about Dolores teaching the music or more about her helping them believe they actually had something worth saying in the first place? I think it's the ads. It's, to me, it's more about the confidence and the ability to pay attention to and listen to and work with one another. It's, I think the confidence in the community were the really big drivers and then some

9:13music theory. I'm sure alongside all of that is what I would say. What's your term? Sister Manter. Yeah. I mean, the whole like, la, la, la, la, la, is there hurt like instilling in them like your, your octaves, right? Like here's all the notes that you're going to have to eventually sing. And the rest of it is like, but you do have something to say. And the fact that they're so good, she had to give them some sort of like bump in the butt, which was good. And she did it. And I thought it was, it's just so fun. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was more about the, her, you know, helping the kids and helping them believe them themselves. Cause, yeah, I feel like getting to her in her believing the fact that she can teach these kids was probably her arc of fully, her arc was more understated than it was in the first one. But I think it's really about her helping the kids. So, yeah, that's what I would feel, what I'm saying. But, um, yeah, thanks for the question, Jay, now really appreciate you. All right. Johnny, we'll take this one. Jane, Sister Mary Jane, Gwen, thank you for chiming in. How do you think this movie did adapting itself to a younger choir?

10:16Personally, I like seeing the nuns as teachers at Dolores's old school as it gave her a fun and believable reason to come back. I would agree. Yes. When I'm all hits that note during, oh, happy day, it was unscripted. So everyone's reaction was completely genuine, holy shit. That's awesome. Damn. What a, what, how, how you must feel after a take like that. Wow. Go off king. I'm shocked. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's impressive. And, uh, and I, I liked him a lot. Uh, no. I mean, I, I would agree with you. This felt, again, like a, a lot of, you know, we're so used to sequels and there are all sorts of contrivances people come up with. But this felt very naturally like, oh, yeah, she's returned to her normal status quo, headlining and Vegas. And because she built this connection in the last movie and because the sisters had this experience and because, yes, she has the personal connection to the school, it just felt like a real life proposal rather than some kind of, yeah, like contrived silly movie

11:18scenario. Yeah. I'd, I'd have to agree. I think it was a, a lot of fun, yeah, seeing, I forgot the whole detail about her going back to her square on school. But yeah, I think that was, it was really cool getting that full circle moment of, you know, she was delinquent in class and now she's helping these delinquent become a, come better and be incumbent to themselves. So that, that and of itself was really awesome. And yeah, getting to go back to the early 90s and seeing like the flair of, you know, what kids were like back then, like with the style and, you know, how they were able to, you know, come together, it was great, you know, it was, both movies are, are heartwarming and have heart, but do it in different ways. And I think that, yeah, infusing this movie with the spirit of the youth of the time really adds some extra pizzazz to the story. Yeah. I think in adapting a cell to a younger choir, I think the way they did that was perfect because we needed to see that. Now we're dealing with a choir of kids who can actually sing, right?

12:22That's why we, when we open it up, each one of them is like, oh, oh, wow, they can actually sing where we didn't really have that with the nuns. Like they can, they can, but not, you know, like a goose bumps city where it's like one after the other. So I think in adapting itself to the younger choir, it did a perfect job and it was great casting. Well, they did. I think it is tricky when you are applying the voice of the youth to music that is not immediately compatible and there are really cringe versions of this that exist, but I thought they did a pretty nice job by and large, making the more youthful elements of the tone that the movie's going for and the voice that the kids especially bring to it. It still felt relatively, there were certain times where especially like Frank A. Throw and down a lot of yos where I'm like, okay, I think we can tune this down a little bit. But yeah, like, and like the original movie, they update the gospel music to be more

13:23soulful and I found that to be really natural. And here again, I think it's a really tall order, especially on from the 90s where this has only happened more and more where you kind of hip-hopify music that isn't necessarily that in effort to be like, hello, fellow kids. I feel like this did about as good of a version of attempting to blend those elements together as you could hope for. Yeah. Like it felt real, it felt natural. And like there are times when it's a little hammy, but that's part of the joy, you know, rather than it being like, oh, like, who's why are you all trying to act hip and force it on us? You know, and I didn't think it fell into that trap, so that's all. No, no, I think it did a great job of, I think that speak already. Do I say word to this? We're going to make these on rust. We can have a conversation. Yeah, we know what I was saying about it. No, I think I think it did a good job of, we're on the top one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think he did a great job of showcasing that and yeah, that note was crazy.

14:28He did a phenomenal job. Yeah, that was cool. Here. Yeah, dude. Just to you. All right. Terah. We're going to make a big nation starting something new isn't just exciting, it is also terrifying.

Thank you shopify for expanding the region nation and for sponsoring us yet again. Nicky Sunrise. Hello, now that you've seen both movies, which one is your favorite and why? Which performance instead out to you the most in this one? Lauren Hills to stand out to me, not only because she has a phenomenal voice, but also because I love how well she portrayed the teen struggling with embracing her natural talents versus her parents' expectations for her future. It felt very real to me. Nureed. Totally. Yeah. As I'm thinking about both of them and, you know, as we just watched it, I think overall

16:34I'm going with the first one a little bit more. Even though I did really enjoy this one, but I think the fact that it was a story about this lounge singer who was like a mistress and then she had to go to the church to save them and then the, the nuns had to go against the mob bosses. I think that whole thing was just so wild and that landish and I felt like this one. The first one was more unexpected for me and this one felt like more like a, not like a Disney Channel movie, but I don't know, I guess more, more youth-friendly I suppose. It's a more familiar genre. I think that like there's still a save the rec center kind of vibe to the first movie, but I think the first movie has this beautiful blend of like a classic high concept that allows again for a movie they can play to multiple types of audiences, but that never sacrifices the things that it's doing and because, because we've seen a lot of movies where like people come in and try to inspire and mold a, and really group of kids, having it be like this group of nuns in the first movie is there's just so many disparate elements that are working

17:39together that aren't tropes of a genre as much and so I feel like the original movie is more original, but as such, you know, this though that, though it has like a very familiar setup that we've seen a thousand times after this and since, I think Bill Duke did really nice job directing in a way that doesn't feel like the millions of movies that take after this plotline, you know, this could feel like a break in movie or something like that and it doesn't quite and yeah, it's interesting the way that, I don't know, yeah, I would say like they're both, I'm chuffed that this is as good as it is and I think it lives really nicely up to the original one, but I think the original one just has, yeah, that slight ounce of like inspired unexpectedness. Yeah, I also see Lauren Hills probably might stand out as well. She was the first, the only character that really had a prominent subplot, but also the, the homeboy who was the, the hotel, we had the amazing voice. I like them. That's great. Yeah, I like them. What about you? Yeah, I agree. I think that with teens always, this is like just a common story

18:44of struggling with like embracing their natural talents, whether it's like cool or not, and also their parents expectations for their future. Like, I know a lot of people. So I also agree with that, even though that was never my, my thing. I, that's fortunate enough that I didn't have to deal with that, but I know a lot of friends did. So I like that they brought that here and I also agree that it felt very realistic. And since they already chose the other two, breakout performances, I'll just say the girl that we first go on and she's like, can I show you something real quick? And she goes like, if you're going to breathe some putt and you're like, what? If that was like, you already know at that point that this movie is going to be so much fun because they get to it like really quick. And I love that. And so still for me, I agree, I with what they're saying, but I'm going to go with two for me was a lot more fun because what I want is more singing. And I want it to be goosebumps city singing. And that's what I got. So I

19:46loved it. Yeah. I mean, I cannot state anything better than you guys have suffice to say. I mean, you know, Lauren Hill is like the other, it's like, if there's a lead, it's what be Goldberg. And then if there's another lead, it's Lauren Hill. And then there's the ensemble around everybody else. So aside from Lauren Hill, who is tremendous, I would say Mr. Crisp definitely spoke to me. I really identified with his struggle. And I'm really sad that they were able to vanquish him by the end. I didn't really expect like a sad ending to the movie. You know, this is one of the Rockies where he doesn't win, you know, Mr. Chris. He was out here trying to fight the good fight and get his retirement going. No, I really enjoyed, you know what, who hasn't been mentioned, but who I was chuffed to see because I've been seeing a lot of her lately. And I like that she brought this, this jazziness, Alana Ubok, just, just cool to see her in a young form because I'm so aware of her as, you know, her work since this. Also, I just want to shout out Mary Wix, the sister Mary Lazarus. She's in so many classic films and she's great in those classic films,

20:52but I adore how fun she has been to watch in both of these movies and it makes me so happy. So, yeah, but you can't really pick a bad character. So that one freaky father, who can make him a weird facial expression? Freaky dad, man. Freaky dad. Well, yeah, freaky father. Yeah, that's right. With the guy who was driving, yeah, who I couldn't tell what his allegiances were. I couldn't tell if he was, there were times where he seemed like he was on board for the cause within the school. And then there were other times where he seemed like really pleased to foil whoopie Goldberg's plans. Yeah, chaotic neutral that guy. Can you play it on all of the sides? Yeah, you can't trust him. Not trust him. Oh, yeah. All right, let's get to the next one. Sister awesome Joe's movie reviews. Yeah. Glad you guys are watching the sequel and Disney Plus first released it back in 2019. They announced that they were going to do a sister act three. Well, obviously they never got to it, but I would love for it to still happen.

21:56Are there any movies you guys enjoyed in the past that you would love to have seen a sequel to that never got one, but might, for example, 2017's Power Rangers or Zack Snyder's Justice League Part 2. Liz Brothers too. Your thoughts saw we kind of got that technically. Did we get this blue brother? Oh, that's 2000s. We never watched it though. It exists, but we when I never seen it. Let me think. Let me think. Bull on Rouge too. Oh, I seem to watch that one. I would love to watch that. That's a good one. Breakfast club too. The lunch club. Do every meal of the day. No, it's all the original cast, but they're in this time they're stuck in the DMV. How about 30 years later? I'll go Demolition Man 2, or maybe Street Fighter the 90s movie too. There. Oh, this is the kind of question designed to coach my brain. Oh, easy. Nice guys too. Nice guys too. Absolutely. Yeah. That's a crime. There's no nice guys too. Yeah. I agree with that. I'm sad. Yeah. And I mean, I want that. Like, I would still be down for

22:59Sister Act 3. I'm sad that they teased us with it. That's even better. It works. It works. Yeah. I'll look it up. Test. Thank you. Yeah. I'm gonna look it up on my phone. But yeah, there's definitely Zack Snyder's Power Rangers Part 2 for sure. Nice guys. Three. Pasm 3. I wanted to want Angel Carful to get another shot. Yeah. I want some. Sister Act 3's currently in development with Disney Plus. Yeah. I'm going to be able to replace her role. I think Eki Palmer has attached to. Really? I believe so. Okay. If I remember that correctly from last summer, right? Let me keep looking. Continue on the other thing. All right. Yeah, there's so many good ones. And I'm sad that it didn't come out back then. But hopefully, you know, we can still get something that's entertaining and still true to the spirit of the first two movies. Yeah. I want to also dread too. I want to call her. But even though I don't really remember the first one, I just remember it being really entertaining. I think the Mist 2. Yeah, totally. Stephen King's the Mist Part 2. Freaking, uh, what was the one that you just put up there?

24:02Or just still shot of them all still. The team too. We need that. Yeah. Oh, we need the freaking three of, uh, oh, Hancock 2. Dude. Oh, Galaxy. Matt. Sorry. I'm looking at a list of movies that deserve a sequel. Actually, I would watch the Elite Battle Angels. Oh, please. Yeah. Hopefully we get that one day. And I would watch another national treasure any day now. Like Nicholas Cage seems like he has a blast watching. It's like there's guy to the galaxy. I don't remember that movie at all, but I remember being really weird and whimsical. Dude, I gotta see it. I've read the book. She's producing it with Tyler Perry just in AK. Oh, I was going to show. First sister act three. He's, he's attached. Ironic's directing it. No, no, he's helping produce. Okay. That guy from high school musical. He's directing it. Oh, that's going to take him federal. Okay. That's going to be fascinating. All right. This, it's going to ironically be the most Jesus oriented sister act movie. Yeah. These movies aren't actually as preachy. Like they, they, they espouse a very

25:08Christian Christ like set of values through their acts, but they aren't actually taking a lot of time to be like, y'all got to go church. Exactly. No, which is fascinating. Yeah. So we're finally going to get that. Yeah, they walk interesting line with that. Is Medea going to be in the choir? We'll see. We'll see. There's is. We'll be going to fight Medea. Who knows? I hope. All right. Let's go on to the next question. We have a couple more left, guys. Sister Mary Maurice, great junior. What are your thoughts on Dolores's teaching style? I loved how she won their respect, uh, starting with that well-placed Yomama joke hit in the park car love to see it. I think she's teaching style is great. She does is a great job of meeting this students or meeting the nuns where they're at and then building from there one courage and then with a little bit of flair, a little bit of humor. Yeah. Yeah. She's great. Yeah. I think she was just very real like down to earth like listen, listen, let's not screw around. I'm going to you're going to respect me, but I'm also going to respect you. I like that. I was like, I feel like if more teachers may be just like started with that, maybe they would have success, but I doubt it.

26:13Teaching is like the hardest thing in all the world, but I liked her teaching style. Absolutely. I mean, I feel like the again, she, uh, I think they tempered it nicely. I think nowadays you get a much more outlandish like she's really talking back to them, but I thought they rode the line really well, both of just her initially being met with such resistance and then gradually earning their respect or at least gradually beginning to get through to them. Like, I think there's a lot of really nice like subtle T of tone that grows well across these situations. And I think that's also to do with the way that they wrote and she performs the writing of her teacherly, you know, demeanor. And yeah, it's like she's willing to give it back to them and to crack a joke here or there. And I like that she's willing to kind of like be a bit of a dork in front of them when it's like stuff that she cares about. So yeah, it's like I like that this wasn't super cliche, but that she was still able to be like, hey, I went here and I know I'm not like the other nuns in terms of my experience in my world view.

27:13I've got a little more jadedness that I can apply to this and it doesn't just like do the trick immediately, but it did feel real and nice. I like the tone there. I don't think she mediate them enough though. She should have been like beating on all of the kids with love. We need more like more wire hangers, more grits. Yeah, yeah, she should have dumped a hot pot of grids on every kid until they sang like a hot great gun. Yeah, I need one of those pool guns that you just load up and then you just like a tube with a plunger. But yeah, yeah, I just want to spray. I love a grit. And I now I want some grids because I like they're fricking tasty. Yeah, my mom makes me grits off to learn and make you some grits. May only some. Yeah, all right. We got to think we have one last question here and then we may have some put trivia after that a little quickie. Let's do it. Tara get them. Divers stand question. What voice range are rejected singing tone ranges are listed.

28:14All those soprano, tenor and bass. I am a mezzo soprano. I don't know why it's not only just those. I'm a mezzo soprano. Jay brush done. I don't know if everyone here would know, but I mean, you know, like alto's like lower bass is like even lower tenor, like a little bit higher. So proud. Yeah, you that alto isn't there's a song in a in a show that's all about having to sing alto. And it's all about how it's like it's the mid range. Totally. It's the mid range register that the most people can hit because it's not super low or super high. Super. Exactly. I feel like I'm probably in the sort of alto heading toward tenor ish. Okay. I like that. I guess that high in my chest voice. But that would make sense. Maybe kind of center high. That's really high. It's it's yeah, but not as high as soprano. Thank you. There you go. It's easy. It's beautiful. Couple sopranos. Yeah. Look at him go. Look at him go. Wow. I only know. I'm never going to give you up.

29:21I mean, I feel like you would be heading towards maybe some bass in there. Yeah. Okay. When you when you're not doing the hand voice, when you're singing your chest voice, yeah, I can sing. Oh, no. Because it's not falsetto. Guys, come on. There we go. Oh, there we go. Oh, yeah, that's pretty low. Wonderful. I don't I think I was off key. Good job. Yeah. That was good. Thank you. That was low. So my both and my soprano and uh, yeah, you guys are both. If you had that easy range, you go like to the deep bass all the way up into the like, the thing is like, I don't know when what the qualifications are for when you have to switch out of chest voice into falsetto. Oh, I can hit a little more. That's kind of why I said mezzo soprano because I'm more of a belt

30:22or not a not a uh, uh, uh, like head voice girl. You know, you make me feel like dancing. What a dancing not away. You know my bad. I did not know how to hear a sound quite with this. Okay. Sure you got one last. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. trivia. Uh, the big finale song Joyful Joyful was a range in a gospel hip-hop style specifically for the movie and it became so popular that many real schools and church choir started performing that verse. That's what happened. That's what happened to us. That's what happened to us. That's why what was her name? Because there was a girl who sang essentially like the lead, the the Lauren Hill part, the part that someone who could do runs to do. Yeah. And the rest of us, I remember being like, oh, this is a way more fun version. Normal Joyful Joyful. They stole it from the movie. Yeah. And for John's life, they didn't even know it. They stole it from me. They stole it. There was one trivia that you did pull up that it said that Lauren's Hill, uh,

31:25when she was on the basketball court and she wrapped it was all in profile. I was going to say there are before we get out of here. That was my old, you know, would be Goldberg's daughter, Alex Martin appears as one of the classroom children. She says the yo mama joke about skittles. Love that. Uh, yeah. And then Lauren Hill's wrapping on the basketball court was a free style. Pretty crazy. Uh, the famed high note that Ryan Toby Amal hits during a happy day is the high E flat, which is apparently one of the highest and toughest notes to hit for singers and vocalists. 16 years old at the time of shooting. Wow. Internet rumors persisted that whoopie Goldberg was very unhappy making sister act 1992 and made this sequel only after Disney decided to finance her dream project, Saraphina in 1992. However, Saraphina debuted at Cannes before sister act opened in theaters. Okay. Fascinating. Um, Gully, freaking, oh, Ben, we got the build do cameo. That was, uh, that was really nice. Uh, I think he did a really nice job directing this.

32:26Yeah. Like, like, I wouldn't have ever expected it, but I think that, yeah, uh, as a veteran actor himself, you know, this movie doesn't have like a crazy in your face style necessarily, but it did have a lot of flavor and, and, you know, some interesting shot choices that aren't getting in your face. But yeah, I was very gracefully paced and toned. So I thought I did a nice job. This seems like a joke. I just have to tell you wait, go back, just go back real quick to the spoilers. Oh, I'm sorry. This is in the spoiler section. Y'all someone commented this. Maria says she doesn't know Mary had a little glam yet several students before her song, the same lyrics. Clearly, she knows how to sing the same lyrics after classmates. Is that trivia? Is what they wrote and they claimed it as a spoiler? Well, I would put that in the course. If I was going to contribute that at all, that's the most hilarious piece of trivia I ever read. That's very funny. That is not trivia at all. That's just an opinion. I can't. I'm like, maybe she didn't know beyond that first stanza.

33:30They're trolling up here and I need to be clearly. She knows how she's not left as our classmates. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Oh my god. Who? But I love this. She's so fun. Jennifer Lewis, just because you pointed her out, you know, a Vegas backup singer number one appeared in sister act as Michelle, one of Dolores's backup singers in their Reno, Nevada lounge act, the Ron L's, as she briefly displays the same annoyance with her fellow singers during the Vegas act as she did as a member of the Ron L's. It's safe to assume she's playing Michelle despite her character not receiving a name in the credits. Yeah. I was surprised to see her because because Jennifer Lewis is in so much stuff. Yeah. And so for her to show up as an extra, essentially, there's like a feature that she, you know, she's, I guess, singing counts for that. This is fascinating because again, I, you pointed around and I was like, oh, that's right. I thought she would be a thing and she's just in that one moment. Just in that one moment. Oh, dang. Well, you guys, we have been through both sister acts act one and act two. Let us know which one is your favorite. Stay holy, stay singing, stay joyful. And until next time,
