Transcripts

- What's up Greg, I hope you're all having a great day.

Welcome back to my channel.

This of course is another episode of I'm Radio Rebel.

So I keep seeing clips from this movie

popping up on TikTok.

It's called Radio Rebel.

It's a Disney Channel Original Movie.

I've never seen it before.

I guess it was like a year or two

after I stopped watching Disney Channel

'cause I know who Debby Ryan is.

But apparently there's like a big trend on TikTok right now,

or at least there was a couple days ago,

where people will re-enact the really strange faces

and just like weird acting

that Debby Ryan does in this movie.

So after seeing some of these TikToks,

I was like, shoot, I gotta check out this movie,

which I did.

I watched the whole thing,

and afterwards, I was like,

well, that was a big waste of time.

And yeah, this is a new Greg hoodie.

It's a nice spring-colored mint, or turquoise teal,

however you wannna call this color.

It's a new hoodie.

It's available on dannygonzales.store.

There's also a similar-colored T-shirt

if you wannna pick that up

because you are worried about being too warm,

or you want people to see your forearms.

All right, well, without further ado,

let's watch a Disney Channel movie.

(upbeat music)

- [Radio Rebel] Report cards came out today.

- So the movie starts off

by giving us a clip of Radio Rebel.

It's this radio show run by a teenager named Tara.

She runs an internet radio show

that broadcasts all over Seattle.

I don't know why it doesn't broadcast in other places

'cause it's an internet radio show

and not a real radio show.

And she's honestly sort of the voice of her generation.

Everyone at school listens to her.

She's always giving these messages

about being yourself and rejecting the status quo.

Which is kind of ironic

because it's all run by the shyest kid in school, Tara.

She's so shy, in fact,

that she doesn't want anyone to know that she's Radio Rebel,

not even her best friend.

- You should talk to your stepdad.

- What? Why?

- He runs SLAM FM, the biggest radio station in Seattle.

Maybe he could give you an internship.

That'd be a confidence booster, right?

- Are you kidding me?

He's been married to my mom for, what, two months?

He probably he thinks I'm a total stepfreak.

- He thinks you're a stepfreak?

But he's your stepdad.

Wouldn't that also make him a stepfreak?

"I can't believe that my wife's daughter is now, like,

partially related to me and we're, like, a family now.

What a fucking stepfreak.

What a freak!"

How ballsy do you have to be to marry into a family

and start calling people in that family a freak

for being now related to you.

- You can relaxation technique.

When I'm memorizing lines for drama,

I imagine I'm breathing in the words.

- What does that even mean?

- You need to breathe...

Your words.

- How can you even breathe at a time like this?

- Aggressive, so these are their friends.

I forget what their names are.

But that's such an aggressive way

to enter a conversation

when you see your friends at school.

Just run up behind them and push them.

(bell rings)

Oh, hey man.

Hey dude, good to see you.

Good to see you man.

(dramatic music)

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, God, no.

(upbeat music)

You're my best friend.

- Last night, Radio Rebel revealed

the biggest clue yet about her identity.

She goes to our school.

- She mentioned it at minute 1430

in Tuesday night's podcast.

- And these two dudes, along with the rest of the school,

but especially these two dudes

are, like, obsessed with finding out

Radio Rebel's true identity.

They've got all these schemes and plans

to try to figure out who she is.

They analyze everything about her

and they have no idea

that it's one of their best friends, Tara.

On this particular day in Tara's drama class,

her class combines with another drama class,

because they're doing a big group project.

So the other drama class comes in

and they're all one big class now.

And to Tara surprise, her crush Gavin is in that class,

but she's too scared to talk to him.

So scared, in fact,

she just leaves class instead of not talking to him

and being shy in class,

she's just got to get out of there.

How does the teacher not notice them,

just get up and leave the class?

You can hear talking in the background as Tara is leaving.

(dramatic music)

Is the teacher just completely up against the board

talking the entire time?

(bell rings)

"All right class, today we're gonna learn about whiteboards

and how you have to stand really close to them

in order to see anything on them.

I really hope no one's leaving the class right now

but I have no idea.

I really hope that when I turn around

there's still gonna be people in the class

because I haven't looked at you guys

for the past 20 minutes."

So as Radio Rebel starts to get more and more popular,

Tara's stepdad ends up hearing about Radio Rebel

because he's actually the head

of one of the most popular radio stations in Seattle,

and he decides he wants to hire Radio Rebel.

But first he wants, like, a teenager's opinion about it,

so he goes to talk to his stepfreak, Tara.

(rock music)

(gentle knock on the door)

Damn, I can tell why Radio Rebel's so popular,

she always plays such cool music.

(Danny singing)

- So, this is good, right?

I mean here we are, we're hanging out,

and we're listening to Radio Rebel, and together.

- Together.

- [Stepdad] What happened, the music just stopped.

Did you stop?

- And that rounds off the final set

for my favorite local band.

Now, here is a extra long track just for you guys.

Hope we dig it.

- Ah... She's Radio Rebel.

- You are Radio Rebel?

- That depends.

Am I in trouble?

- No. No, of course not.

I don't know how you're doing that.

I mean, you're just so shy.

- "You're so shy.

I mean, you're such a fucking nerd.

I have no idea how you could have so much confidence

when you're such a fucking loser.

You dweeb-ass, stepfreak-looking motherfucker.

I don't know how you can possibly have a radio show."

So he hires her...

- You're hired!

- By just saying, "You're hired",

not really saying what she's hired for.

And then he just leaves.

He just books it.

He slams the door behind him.

So she can't even ask any questions,

like, hired for what?

He just says, "You're hired" and runs away.

"You're hired, you're hired."

You know how you get a job.

That's how getting a job works.

Actually, now that I think about it,

it kinda reminds me of how I got my first job.

"Oh, shit.

Oh, no. What?

Oh, shoot.

Oh, sorry, man.

Did you just...

Did you just break my package?

Yeah.

Look, man, I'm really sorry.

I did not mean to do that.

I can pay you back if you want

or I can buy you a new package.

You're hired.

Huh?

You're hired, you're hired.

You start Monday.

Well, I don't know.

I... Huh?

You are hired, you are hired.

Oh, God, yes, you're hired.

Was this a a job interview?

Oh fuck, yeah.

And that's how I started working at UPS.

Then of course back in drama class,

Tara gets put in the same group as her crush, Gavin.

And when Tara goes up to talk to Gavin,

the chemistry is palpable.

- Cool shirt, I love that band.

You First rules.

The GGGG's can only dream of being Nuckettes someday.

- The chemistry is palpable.

You can palp it.

It is able to be palped.

The chemistry is Palpatine.

- Do it.

- Okay, here's a good scene.

So in this scene, they're in gym class, I guess,

and Tara is talking to her best friend

and her friend invites her over that night,

but Tara has to do Radio Rebel,

she has to do her show.

So she can't.

But since her best friend doesn't know about Radio Rebel,

Tara just has to lie

and say that she has to do something else.

At least I'm pretty sure that's what happens.

But for the life of me, I cannot focus

on the conversation they're happening

'cause of all the weird shit going on in the background.

I think this is supposed to be a gym class

because everyone's outside playing and doing sports.

But everyone is doing, like, drastically different stuff.

And just this scene alone, you see people sitting,

stretching, running, one lone dude playing soccer,

jumping jacks, skipping and football.

Did their gym teacher that day just be like,

"I don't, I don't fucking care.

Just go outside and look like you're exercising.

It doesn't even matter if you are, just look active.

Just be wearing gym shoes and sit on the ground.

I don't care."

This is kind of a theme throughout the whole movie

where the extras are, just, on some other shit.

They're just not doing what they should be doing.

I feel like there was a director for the movie,

and then there was the director for the extras.

And the director for the extras

just wanted to have fun with it.

Okay, take this girl in the yellow hoodie, for example.

Let's watch her for the entire scene

and see what she's doing in gym class.

"Oh, got to stretch.

Oh, it's my best friend Michelle.

Hey, Michelle, how's it going?

Hi five!

Oh, yeah, I love you.

Oh, another high five.

Okay, that's, that's different.

You're my best friend now.

Oh, shit I think I'm gonna puke.

Look at me now wearing a hood.

I'm hood girl.

Just kidding, it's still me.

Oh hey, I think I'm gonna run with these people.

I'm just kidding, I'm not.

I would never do that.

I would never run with those people."

- Radio Rebel is shot in the arm SLAM FM needs.

Since the last show that I produced,

a snazzy dog crashed and burned.

There's a lot hinged on this, right, including my job.

But, no pressure.

- "No pressure.

I know you're just a shy teenager

and you're nervous to talk to people

and you're just intimidated by me, even being your stepdad.

But just so you know,

the safety of my jobs is totally in your hands.

And if you fuck up, we will both be homeless."

- Okay um, maybe you should play a song,

just to make sure you know how to.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, no, no, no.

It's not this.

- How did she fuck up that much by pressing one button?

Is there a button that just automatically plays a song

and distorts the shit out of it and makes it sound horrible?

Is there a button that does that?

And if so, why?

Why not just get rid of the button?

All right, I guess I should practice first

before I broadcast to millions of people.

Let's try pressing the button that says,

"Don't press this, it makes everything sound horrible."

Oh, no!

It sounds horrible!

I'm a failure!

(upbeat music)

So she starts her first Radio Rebels show

on the actual radio station,

like, the very next day right after she was hired,

and somehow everyone is already listening.

I don't know how everyone automatically knew

that she would be on the radio

and not on the internet anymore.

But I guess they, they figured it out.

But the show goes surprisingly well.

Once she's in her element

and she closes her room off so no one else can be in there,

she's able to really get in character,

you get to see everybody at her school listening

and having a great time, except these two.

These two are going insane.

They're losing their minds.

(Barry and Larry screaming)

They're trying to analyze her voice

and figure out which girl at their school it is,

but it's not working because Tara is using a voice modulator

that's making her voice sound different.

They're not happy about it, they're going wild.

They're becoming deranged.

(Barry screaming)

I worry about those boys.

- If you're with me on this, wear red tomorrow.

It'll be like saying that despite our differences,

we're in this together.

- And she gives this message at the end of her broadcast

saying basically, everyone should come together

not care about their social classes and not be so divided,

and she tells everyone if you're with her

and if you support the message, wear red to school tomorrow.

And just like that,

pretty much everyone is wearing red the next day at school.

Something that I've noticed in a lot of Disney movies

that has not been my experience at all,

is that people in high school in these Disney movies

are so fashionable, it's unbelievable.

Everyone's dressed to the nines.

I mean, everyone's got, like, they're layered,

they got cool outfits on,

everyone's wearing hats.

We weren't even allowed to wear hats in high school.

I mean, this girl's wearing a fedora.

There's a lot of fedoras in this movie,

I would like to add.

In my eyes, everyone at this school

looks like the one person in high school

that wore a suit to school every day

that every high school inevitably has for some reason.

I'd say that's about equivalent to, like,

wearing a fedora to school and a vest.

It's a similar thing.

- Can you guys tell us apart?

- You guys are fraternal not identical.

(man yelling)

- Did someone in the background just go,

"Red bam, bam, bam, bam"?

(man yelling)

Just so excited about wearing red the school today,

red bam bam bam bam.

- We just ran a recording of Radio Rebel's show

through a voice analysis app.

Soon I'll be able to profess my undying love.

- We'll be famous.

We can we get a reward.

- How can you get a reward?

No one's offering a reward.

There's been no mention of a reward.

Who would pay you, the police?

They don't care.

I don't think any, like, adult is going to pay

a big chunk of money to find out

the identity of a teenage girl.

I really hope some grown-ass man's not sitting at home like,

"I will pay $20,000 for whoever brings me the girl."

That would not be good.

Later on, we see Tara practicing her drama class project

with Gavin and Stacy,

and we get to see some more good Debby Ryan acting faces.

- And Gavin's character doesn't know you like him.

- So.

- [Stacy] You're agony, I need to see...

- Now the school keeps confiscating our stuff.

I mean, I've lost two sets of headphones

and an MP3 player just this term alone.

Although, I did noticed that some of us

seem to be exempt from this little stuff-snatching epidemic.

Funny how that works, huh.

- Why is that girl in a neck brace?

Have we ever seen her before?

I don't think she's a character in this movie.

It's just a weird detail,

but I don't know who that girl is.

- Our music is who we are.

Are we gonna let someone just snatch that away from us?

- Why does it sound like she's trying to start

like a schoolwide mutiny,

because the teachers won't let them

listen to MP3 players in class?

That seems like such a weird stance

for this movie to take, right?

That kids should be allowed

to listen to music during class.

It really seemed like the moral of this movie

was going one direction, like,

"Hey, don't be afraid to be yourself.

And we don't need to label each other

like pops and non pops",

and then all of a sudden it was like,

"And we should be able to listen to music in class,

and the teacher shouldn't be in charge.

We should.

Are we just gonna let them take away

our iPods in our fucking Zunes?

I say, we stage a coup."

- Here's a new song about trying things

you never thought you could.

Check it out.

Vibe it.

Really, really dig on it.

And then, remember that feeling.

- Oh, man.

You know, I was starting to think

this movie was like a little bit out of touch.

But then I heard that cool kids lingo.

Listen to the song, vibe it really, really dig on it.

Chew it munch, munch, crunch it.

Throw it up, groove with it.

Then she does another stunt,

like the whole wearing red thing.

But instead she decides to directly disrupt class

by telling everyone to just get up

and start dancing at 8 am the next morning,

which everyone does.

Even the teacher is getting down in this class.

But the principal,

the evil principal doesn't like that,

and she tells Radio Rebel to turn herself in

or there will be consequences.

- [Principal Moreno] Radio Rebel,

I advise you to turn yourself in now

or your future will be radio silence.

- So instead of doing that,

and instead of, you know,

backing down and stopping her antics,

she gets a girl who works at the radio station

to drive a giant-ass van with big-ass speakers

to the front of the school

and just start blasting music during lunch.

- What is going on?

- Well, what if Kim been planning on us

disrupting class time because it's lunch.

- What exactly is Radio Rebel trying to prove?

She's like,

"Oh, you don't think we should be able

to listen to music in class because it's distracting

to the one person listening to music?

Well, how about instead, I distract everyone

and make it impossible to get any work done?"

It's not only weird that a student would do this,

but it's also weird that the radio station

is going along with it.

Like, what a weird thing

for a radio station to get involved with.

Like, purposely distracting students during school

by driving a big-ass van

with speakers to play music outside.

There's also a little subplot in this movie

where Gavin is sort of having issues

with other members of the band,

like the lead singer.

The lead singer only wants to make party songs

but Gavin wants to have,

like, a deeper message to his songs.

And the lead singer is kinda getting a big head

about the whole thing.

- Since when do our fans determine what we play.

- Price of fame my friend.

- One, two, three.

- One, two, three.

- I have news, but we can't talk here.

- What?

Excuse me, could you give us a minute?

- Uh, but this is my office.

- That relatable high school moment

when you kick the janitor out of the janitor's closet

'cause you need to talk in the janitor's closet

like you, like you used to do in high school.

Man, I miss high school.

It was so fun to be so mean to the janitor.

In the closet, Tara's best friend tells her

that Radio Rebel just got nominated for prom queen.

I did not know that you could nominate,

like, a radio persona as prom queen,

but I guess this high school

just has different rules about a lot of things.

And while they're talking,

the janitor keeps knocking on the door

'cause he needs to do his job, 'cause he was the janitor.

and they're in the janitor's closet.

(door bursts)

- Not now, Mr. Margowsky.

- But I need the broom.

- Not now.

- I need the dustpan too.

- But I need the broom, I need the dustpan too.

They made the janitor so, like, feeble.

I just feel bad for him.

Why did they make the main characters

be so mean to the janitor?

But the last time he comes in,

he, like, doesn't even touch the door to open it somehow.

It just busts open on its own.

"These fucking kids talking in my closet,

I'll show them."

(upbeat music)

"I need the dustpan too."

Kinda weird plot detail

that they kind of just gloss over the fact

that the janitor's a fucking wizard,

but we will just move past it.

(man yelling)

- This is another weird scene.

So Gavin is talking to the lead singer of the band

and they get in this whole fight

because Gavin sort of has a crush on Tara now,

and the lead singer of the band

is like, that's bad for business dude,

she's not popular and her dad owns the radio station,

you can't like her,

and you got to stay single for the band or something.

But in this whole scene,

they added in people yelling at them

from, like, the background like,

"Oh, The GGGG's are awesome.

And hey, Gavin, you're so cool."

- You don't even know her.

- Okay, I don't need to and neither do you.

Think of the band man.

- They just added in a bunch of stuff in the background,

and it continues, like, while they're having the argument.

And after they have the fight,

there're still people in the background just being like,

"Hey, you, I love you dude.

You're so cool."

It's also really weird that neither of them acknowledge it.

Like, this whole shot where Gavin's just walking by himself

and people are yelling at him.

(man yelling)

He doesn't say like, "Oh, thanks, man,"

or acknowledge anyone

because they added all this in afterwards.

Just like a really weird editing choice.

"Yo Gavin, you're the coolest dude.

Holy shit Gavin, I love your music man.

You're like a god.

Gavin, fuck me."

- Principal Moreno called.

The lunchtime dance party, that was a mistake.

I may run SLAM FM, but I'm your stepfather first.

- "I'm your stepfather first,

and you're my stepfreak first."

- This is bigger than SLAM or Moreno or even me.

I can't turn my back on the thousands of people

who finally feel like they have a voice.

- You know, I think that's the most

that I've ever heard Tara say at one time.

(soft music)

You're in two minutes.

- Wait, what?

So he's just okay with it now?

He was like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa,

you need to reel it in, okay?

You can't have dance parties

funded by the radio station at school.

Super irresponsible, and you're going to get expelled."

And then two seconds later he's like,

all right, all right, you can cause a ruckus at school

and get expelled and overthrow your teachers

and do whatever the fuck you want.

As long as you're coming out of your shell a little bit.

I am very much questioning the motives of this movie.

What are we supposed to learn from all this?

(rock music)

- I'm afraid to show people the real me.

- Top 10 coolest movie moments of all time?

I don't know, think it's a contender.

So Radio Rebel keeps causing a ruckus at school,

and the principal's not having it

'cause she can't figure out who Radio Rebel is

and she's not coming clean.

So she decides to punish everyone by canceling the prom.

- I'm canceling the prom.

- Which of course makes everyone pissed at Radio Rebel

'cause they're like you ruined our whole year.

We all wanna go to prom and now we hate you.

But then Tara comes up with this idea

where the radio station can just host their own prom

and everyone can come for free.

And they decided to call it morp

'cause it's prom backwards.

And it got me thinking a lot about prom

and like high school dances in general.

I remember in high school

thinking that those were fun,

but also, like, why do they do that in high school?

Why is the teacher's job

to like teach the kids and then also

throw a dance party for the kids?

Why is that part of the teacher's job?

It just seems weird.

Like who was the first teacher that decided to have a prom?

That was like,

"Ah I just, I'm sick of teaching

these kids day in and day out.

Like, when do I get to see these teens dance?

When do I get to watch these teens dance to get low?"

(rock music)

♪ Caught me sneaking at the back ♪

♪ Daddy chase me down the street ♪

- ♪ Daddy chase me down the street ♪

Oh yeah daddy.

Oh yeah daddy, chase me down the street.

This movie's got a couple fun, like, musical moments

because they got this dope-ass band, The GGGG's in here.

So they have a couple of their songs

played throughout the movie.

And they pretty much crushed most of their performances,

despite the fact that the front man plays the bass guitar

but seems to think that it's a regular guitar.

Later on, it's time for the drama class

to perform their big presentations

that they've been working on this whole semester.

But right beforehand, Stacy says she needs to talk to Tara

but ends up just pushing her in the janitor's closet

and locking her in there.

- Have you guys seen Tara?

She's late.

- Move on already, pay attention to Stacy.

- You are turning into a real jerk.

You know that don't you?

- Me?

- Yeah.

- Whoa, dude.

"Me?

Changing?

Me?

Wearing this gray camo scarf

a blazer and a flannel fedora,

you think I've changed?"

He does have a point actually kinda,

'cause everyone at their school dresses like that.

I think the scarf and the hat is a little bit much.

Pick one.

- We have to tell Mrs. Brower we can't do our scene.

- No, no, no no.

Stacy Debian is not a quitter.

I'm not gonna fail this assignment

just because Tara is a no-show.

- Why would they fail the project

just 'cause one of the students didn't show up?

Wouldn't they, like, reschedule it or something,

or try to find this missing student?

All right, it's morp time.

Time for the big morp, time for everybody to get morped.

As I'm sure you could have guessed,

Radio Rebel wins prom queen.

Oh sorry, morp queen.

It's not prom, it's morp.

- Radio Rebel!

- Like, rigged much?

Radio Rebel literally works for the radio station

that is throwing morp.

Doesn't anyone think it's weird that she one morp queen?

Just sayin'.

I'd look into it.

- Most of you don't know me.

I'm the girl who sits in the back of the class.

- And at the very end here,

Tara reveals herself to be Radio Rebel.

- I'm Radio Rebel.

(students gasping)

- Then the principal comes on stage,

somehow she snuck in,

and she tries to expel Tara for being Radio Rebel.

But then everyone in the audience says that thing

that they do at the end of movies

where they all stand up for her

and everyone's like, "I'm Radio Rebel."

- I'm Radio Rebel.

- I'm Radio Rebel.

- [Crowd] No, I'm Radio Rebel.

- Until eventually everyone is shouting

that they're Radio Rebel

and the principal just has to leave.

I don't know, why doesn't she think

it's Tara anymore, though?

Tara is obviously Radio Rebel.

Like, why?

Does she really get confused

by everyone saying that they're Radio Rebel,

and she's like, oh, fuck no,

I have no idea who it is?

After Tara gave like the long monologue

about how she's Radio Rebel.

Damn, well, I guess they really did overthrow the principal.

That's the big ending of the movie.

They did it.

The principal is gone.

I don't know if she'll ever come back.

Anyway, at the end of the day,

it's a Disney Channel movie.

So what did you expect?

There's a nice message in there somewhere

about being yourself.

And I feel like if I was in high school,

and I watched this and I was shy,

I feel like maybe I would get something out of it

and feel like it's okay to overthrow the principal.

But, that's the end of the movie.

I hope you guys liked it.

It was kind of fun doing a Disney Channel movie.

I feel like maybe I should do more of these.

So let me know if there's any other Disney Channel movies

you want me to watch.

I feel like everybody knows them,

so it's kind of fun to relive that experience.

But that being said,

it is now time to talk about today's sponsor, ExpressVPN.

Guys, this video is sponsored

by the homies over at ExpressVPN.

You all know I can't get enough of ExpressVPN.

Not only does it give you

all the great possibilities of a VPN,

like unblocking content

that's not available in your area,

giving you more security online

giving you more anonymity online.

But it's not just a good VPN, it's the best VPN,

being consistently ranked number one

by sites like The Verge, tech radar, CNET and more.

Many more.

I personally just realized that

while only seasons one through four of Better Call Saul

are available on Netflix in the US,

if you switch your location to the UK

using ExpressVPN servers,

suddenly you can watch season five.

So I did, and it was good.

And that's just one example.

There's countless examples of different shows

and videos that you can unlock

by switching your location using ExpressVPN.

They've got a ton of different server locations.

They've got 24 seven customer support.

They've got the fastest speeds,

which you'll find is especially important

if you're trying to stream video,

and it couldn't be easier to use.

I would think that using a VPN

would be very annoying if you had to like go through

all these menus and stuff to use it every time,

it was overly technical.

With Express VPN, all you have to do

is just select a server location,

press connect and bada bing bada boom,

bada bang bada bang, you're using it.
