What's up task force Trevor here

0:02

with another preview for movie club

0:04

this week? It's what I've been

0:06

talking about and so excited to

0:08

cover Disney Channel original movie Don't

0:10

look under the bed super fun

0:12

super nostalgic available now over at

0:14

red web pod.com We start in

0:16

Middleburg and my first note is it

0:19

might as well be called city town

0:21

or basicville Because it's Middleburg in the

0:23

middle of the country It's just your

0:25

average town and the movie opens up

0:27

with 14 year old Francis Bacon McCausland

0:29

as a creepy shadow of something is

0:32

reaching out for her while she sleeps all

0:34

the clocks in the house then suddenly

0:36

speed up until their alarms go off

0:38

and Francis and the family they're woken

0:40

up but Francis herself is startled awake

0:42

by a voice saying Franny commenting on how

0:45

darkest still is the families kind of

0:47

going about their business And they're beginning

0:49

their day and everyone watching relives the trauma

0:51

of waking up at 6 a.m. for school

0:53

at 7. Oh my god, yes. Huge flashback

0:55

for me. Well it turns out, it's only

0:58

4.30. Somehow the clock's freaked out and

1:00

Francis goes back to bed knowing that

1:02

there must be some sort of logical

1:04

explanation. I appreciate this out of her.

1:06

Meanwhile, we cut to a sharp toad monster

1:09

up on the roof, was cutting open a

1:11

bag of dog of dog treats to lure

1:13

the dog in. Next day, she's on her

1:15

way to school and Francis finds out her

1:17

friends and neighbors all experience the same odd

1:19

clock phenomenon. They all woke up early and

1:21

they also then realized that all

1:23

the neighborhood dogs are up on

1:25

their respective roofs. It's just a

1:27

neighborhood filled with roof dogs. And

1:29

Francis begins to theorize about magnetic

1:31

anomalies and practical theories. Again, I

1:33

really appreciate that Francis might be

1:35

the genesis of Red Web. We

1:37

don't know. That's true. There's a

1:39

little subconsciousness. Yeah, planting the seeds.

1:42

To speak to Francis's intelligence, I

1:44

mean, she skipped a grade. So,

1:46

you know, we find out shortly.

1:48

And so it's like, oh, okay,

1:50

this is a very bright young

1:52

lady. Absolutely. And they established that pretty

1:54

well. You know, she is a young lady

1:56

here and she's, her attention is pulled to

1:58

a strapping lad in blue. who's watching from

2:01

nearby, he's got some very 90s shades

2:03

on. Oh yeah, he does. Yeah, he

2:05

does. Yeah, he does. And those

2:07

are coming back. She looks for him,

2:10

she looks away, she comes back, he's

2:12

disappeared. Later on in class, a

2:14

mysterious figure with an evil laugh pumbles,

2:16

the teacher's car with eggs inside while

2:19

she's in the class with that

2:21

teacher. The boy in blue is now

2:23

wearing yellow and he's kind of

2:25

creeping behind the skeleton in the class

2:27

to watch and Francis once again sees

2:30

him before he then disappears. After

2:32

school, the teacher comes out, sees the

2:34

car, he's kind of like, who did

2:36

this? There's eggs all over my

2:38

wonderful open-top car, it's a beautiful car,

2:41

and he looks at Francis for some

2:43

reason, and it's clear that something

2:45

is up in Middleburg. So during this

2:47

moment, I was like, no, this beautiful,

2:50

like, old school, top-down, convertible car,

2:52

it's just being egged, and then when

2:54

I got like a close look,

2:56

I went, oh, they covered the seats.

2:58

They had like a seat cover. It

3:01

didn't look close up. I noticed

3:03

the blanket and I went, ugh. It

3:05

was like, it's a gross like blanket

3:07

seat cover thing on it. It

3:09

was like gross material, like really thick

3:12

itchy looking. But I was like, oh,

3:14

they covered it because it's less

3:16

clean up. You know, you want to

3:18

ruin ruin the car? This was meant

3:21

to be on a little bit

3:23

of a fuzzier TV, okay? Right, this

3:25

wasn't meant for the 4K remake. Yeah,

3:27

I mean, it didn't completely fill

3:29

out my 4K TV when I was

3:32

watching it. Oh, yeah. I mean,

3:34

it didn't completely fill out my 4K

3:36

TV when I was watching it. Oh

3:38

yeah, oh 100%. So while on

3:40

her way home, Francis is telling your

3:43

car man. We're not on Nickelodeon, so

3:45

this is the Disney equivalent, but

3:47

that car got slimed. Oh yeah, oh

3:49

100%. So while on her way home,

3:52

Francis is telling her friend all about

3:54

this disappearing boy, while he watches from

3:56

the. rooftop petting one of the dogs

3:58

again in some truly 90s sunglasses this

4:01

time I believe he was wearing brown

4:03

had kind of a fur coat going

4:05

on almost very dog like now her

4:07

friend leaves and she then sees the

4:10

boy creeping across the street and yet

4:12

another outfit very 90s and she calls

4:14

out to him and he says you

4:16

can see me and then a bus

4:19

drives by almost looks like it's gonna

4:21

hit him but he's gone At this

4:23

point we get some quick looks at

4:25

some amazing 90s wish fulfillment pranks. This

4:28

is stuff out of the kids dream.

4:30

The pool is completely turned a jello.

4:32

You got a kid whose legs are

4:34

dangling up out of it. The police

4:37

office is filled with bees. These school

4:39

buses are filled to the brim with

4:41

water like somebody opens the door and

4:43

just a pool of water pours out.

4:46

Oh, and the entire town is tagged

4:48

with the letter B. Who's behind? I

4:50

put this wacky madness. What is it?

4:52

This would be such a gem of

4:55

a throwback, man. It really is. As

4:57

a kid watching that and like, well,

4:59

these are like the most coolest elaborate

5:01

pranks like ever. Because like, even if

5:04

you don't do pranks, like you know

5:06

of them. You've thought of them. You

5:08

even thought maybe if I was do

5:10

a prank, it'd be like this. If

5:13

you're somewhat creative as a child. And

5:15

these are just like top tier man

5:17

jello that pool of jello but also

5:19

how did no one see it when

5:22

they dove in right right dove in

5:24

stuck that's a drown right there
