i read the twitches books, and the girls are 14 in the first one. so it's likely that originally they were going to be teenagers but then disney was like "well instead of casting twin nobodies, we could age up the characters and cast the most popular twins since the olsens"
Yes, but let’s have him watch old Disney originals like “The one where guys ride rollerblades” and “The one where the girl wants to ride dirt bikes but people think that’s a boy sport” and can’t forget “The one where your house is an AI gone wrong!”

OK, so for anyone who doesn't know: Coventry is a town in England that is just... dreadful. I'm pretty sure the main tourist attraction there is the Greggs (that's like a McDonald's that sells sausage rolls and pasties instead of burgers), and visiting the town is classified as an enhanced interrogation technique under the Geneva Convention. I'm just saying, "Darkness covered the land of Coventry" is old news over here: it's been that way for a while. Also, the darkness just turned out to be a recession.
@@KatT89 It probably will. In Coventry's defence, it was apparently a lovely, very historical town until the forties, when the Luftwaffe pretty much bombed it out of existence. It often gets mentioned in the same sentence as Dresden when cataclysmic air raids during WWII are mentioned.
"That's why I don't trust 'em. They're proof that we're in a simulation and I don't like that." Shayne's comment about twins had me laughing so much. 😂 This video was so fun to watch! Nicely done!
“Are you 11, a girl with no siblings?” Wow, Ian nailed my exact demographic when this came out 😂 And that’s why the nostalgia outweighs the logic on this one lmao
Pop punk Jesse Pinkman is played by my buddy Pat Kelly. He’s actually an incredibly funny improv/sketch performer. A pay check is a pay check in your early 20s. He hosts the podcast This is That for the CBC, definitely worth checking out.
I think either shayne or Damian mentioned on an interview that improv comedy with Disney's standards and practices is basically a tightrope walk so it makes sense he could only do so much.
It's funny how Shayne talks about being able to tell the twins apart but there were a few scenes where one of the sisters wasnt available so the other one acted like her for the scenes she missed, i just forget which one wasnt available
@mixmastermind well yes. Not all identical twins are actually identical. At this point, they did look virtually identical aside from Tamera having a unique beauty mark and Tia having a slightly slimmer face and build. So if you're familiar with them you would be able to tell them apart, but otherwise, a little makeup and a fake mole basically turns Tia into Tamera.
I'm so confused to what was even said. So the problem is that one married a white man so she is less than...? If that's the case, proves the black community can be racists.
i think twins are fascinating cuz like- animals give birth in literal batches, those are technically all twin siblings- its so rare for humans to give birth in batches and even for animals they are not matching identical clones of each other- its insane how nature be nature
The female protector actress is a character on Schitt's Creek. I had to look it up on IMDB because it was driving me crazy. She definitely improved over time!
This should absolutely be a series. I think that Ian and Shayne are a good combo. I think the main issue is that this isn’t a single fantasy novel that was adapted into a DCOM. It’s actually a fantasy series of 10 books. So it needed a lot more space than it could get from a DCOM.
My favourite thing about this film is the fantasy land is named Coventry, which is just the name of a city in England. To an English person, it’s like a fantasy land named California or something lol.
As an identical twin, I can confirm that identical twins are kinda creepy as a concept…not us of course, all the other identical twins 😂 it’s like a glitch
Fun fact, the Protector woman is the same actress who plays Jocelyn on Schitt's Creek. Kind of similar character energy vibes, but it works so much better on SC.
If you want to go down the rabbit hole of Disney channel original movies, The 13th Year will be so worth the watch it is a hidden iconic gem of a movie Edit: and never forget The Luck of the Irish
@@talia_al_gabagool as a trans man who was obsessed with the 13th year only to find out not THAT many people have watched it just solidified my identity to me entirely
21:00 even saying Selena Gomez “did it really well” is and understatement 😂 That show had my 35 year old full adult man and his wife watching without my nephew lol Wizards is was ahead of it’s time
So glad Shane rated and spoke about things in the context of the type of media is was. You gotta meet criticism of stuff where it's at instead of holding stuff up to a universal standard
Well, duly noted. You wanna know what I believe? I believe that you are way out of your depth in this matter. So, next time you want to come in here and tell me what I'm doing wrong, you are welcome to keep it to yourself! Because I don't care!
Ok but just from hearing my dad, uncles, and grandparents talking about how they got jobs in my home town as a kid, i can completely believe they just walked in, asked for a job, and then started working 5 seconds later.
I also saw that the female protector they keep referencing was also a supporting role in all 6 seasons of Schitt’s Creek, so this movie kinda had some unrealized potential 😂
I watched a lot of Tia and Tamara stuff growing up and I noticed something. As THEY began growing up it started to become very obvious to me that their personalities began to form and go into different directions. One is typically bubbly and charismatic; where the other one tends to be more serious, methodical and analytical.
I actually worked at a restaurant that I ate at. Asked if they were hiring after dinner, got the job, and immediately started working the dishpit that night. It was insane lmao. Loved that place though.
I swear to goodness, I thought you were commenting on the wrong video at first. I was just looking at the reddit episode with Amanda and Chanse, and considering that episode dealt with people in restaurants, I was so confused.
I was genuinely curious about the mom's age when they pointed it out.. the actress is only 46 NOW.. she wouldve been around 28 during filming.. Meaning she adopted Cameron around 7 years old.. I think the best explanation is her adopted mother was her sister first, but the actual adopted mom died when she was 18, and could adopt her adopted sister.. so theoretically, both twins lost their adopted moms
Alex is a writer & poet (that is part of her knowing power) Camryn is the the seer so she draws out what she sees in her visions. The queen is the wife of Eddie Murphy in the Dr. Dolittle films (Kristen Wilson) Also Tia & Tamera's roles were the exact same in Sister, Sister. Tamera played Tamera Campbell adopted daughter of Ray the owner of a limo rental company "Ray's Limos" & Tia was Tia Landry the daughter of a struggling fashion designer who eventually finds her way. So they played the exact same class roles they did in Sister, Sister
I was literally just chilling in the room but I’m glad to be a representative 😂
THE representative!!
Best Cameo 💜
So glad to see you :)
Lmao yes, thank you for representing us, the Black community is proud! 😂
Ian was foul for this one
They NEED to bring this back, it's like a movie podcast with Father Ian.
I would love to see a version of this on Smosh Cast over lunchtime with smosh any day of the week

She left? Why?
Jackie left???

@@brioche9372yeah a while ago. She lives in New York now.

Ian saying "rich girl" and "poor girl" as character names has me ROLLING the entire video 😂🤣
i read the twitches books, and the girls are 14 in the first one. so it's likely that originally they were going to be teenagers but then disney was like "well instead of casting twin nobodies, we could age up the characters and cast the most popular twins since the olsens"
the girls WERE born on halloween in the book, but no it's not a "halloween" thing
Huh. I remember thinking they were still teens in the first movie, I guess as a kid I just associated them with being teens
@@gwenhyfarbeatiThis. I have no problem with them aging up. I do have a problem with Karsh being like 35 and illyana being like 28
Imagine Twitches if it was the Olsens instead
Could the Olsen twins have worked?
When Ian announced their "black representative" I was FLOORED 😭🤣🤣 Thus man truly has no chill 😂😂😂
Ian just referring Cameron and Alex as “rich girl” and “poor girl” is amazing 😂
It would be fun if they both watched Dear Lemon Lima together and Shayne could talk about the process of being in it.

Love how Ian has picked up so many ex Disney cast members but hasn't actually watched any of the stuff
Don't worry, they didn't watch Smosh either ;-;

did not expect mac to be physically there pls it made the cameo even funnier im cryinggggg what an instant classic moment
Also, there was one time that Tamara was sick during the production of this show, so they dressed up Tia, and added the beauty mark to disguise it.
Similar things happened on Sister, Sister where Tia had to cover for Tamara in one of the episodes because Tamara was either busy or sick, so it was a nice call back to that 😂😂😂😂
I REALLY want a revival of this series 😭💕
Are there really only 2 videos?? They talk about Courtney being next but I can't find that or anything else! 😭

I think this should definitely be a series!! I loved hearing Shayne talk about and critique the movie from his perspective as an actor.
Somebody was really pleased with themselves for naming the witch universe "Coventry" in this script.
It was the name of the land in the books 😂
OK, so for anyone who doesn't know: Coventry is a town in England that is just... dreadful. I'm pretty sure the main tourist attraction there is the Greggs (that's like a McDonald's that sells sausage rolls and pasties instead of burgers), and visiting the town is classified as an enhanced interrogation technique under the Geneva Convention.

@@18Hongo wow i thought it was in reference to a witches coven
@18Hongo What's funny is the the wiki article for this movie has Coventry hyperlinked to the actual town. That's gotta confuse some readers 🤣
@@KatT89 It probably will.
In Coventry's defence, it was apparently a lovely, very historical town until the forties, when the Luftwaffe pretty much bombed it out of existence. It often gets mentioned in the same sentence as Dresden when cataclysmic air raids during WWII are mentioned.
Yo, not gonna lie, an Ian and Shayne combo works a lot. We need more of it!

he kind of has a point too 😹
“Are you 11, a girl with no siblings?”
Wow, Ian nailed my exact demographic when this came out 😂 And that’s why the nostalgia outweighs the logic on this one lmao
Fr 😂 he nailed it
AS A MATTER OF FACT IAN I WAS 😂😂😂
And what rating would you give this movie? Back then and now?
Yup. I still crack up to this day when I see that man in the gorilla costume
I WAS ELEVEN AND AN ONLY CHILD
It’s cool seeing their takes as professional actors. I normally don’t even notice people’s acting abilities
Shayne starting it off with an emphatic "That adds to my theory!" is so promising
I love that when everyone laughs, I know which one is Tommy.
Pop punk Jesse Pinkman is played by my buddy Pat Kelly. He’s actually an incredibly funny improv/sketch performer. A pay check is a pay check in your early 20s. He hosts the podcast This is That for the CBC, definitely worth checking out.
I think either shayne or Damian mentioned on an interview that improv comedy with Disney's standards and practices is basically a tightrope walk so it makes sense he could only do so much.
Oooohhh I thought he said “puff, puff” Jesse Pinkman
I was going to say, I love these guys, but don't go after PJ Pat, he's a crucial part of my Canadian childhood
I love the dynamic of this.
I wouldn't mind watching Shayne and Ian do more step by step reviews of weird Disney movies!
It's funny how Shayne talks about being able to tell the twins apart but there were a few scenes where one of the sisters wasnt available so the other one acted like her for the scenes she missed, i just forget which one wasnt available
it was the bday party scene ! tia played cameryn, they added the beauty mark and everything
I feel like if you gotta add makeup to one of them to make them look like the other you definitely can tell them apart
@mixmastermind well yes. Not all identical twins are actually identical. At this point, they did look virtually identical aside from Tamera having a unique beauty mark and Tia having a slightly slimmer face and build. So if you're familiar with them you would be able to tell them apart, but otherwise, a little makeup and a fake mole basically turns Tia into Tamera.
"Twins are proof that we are in a simulation and I don't like it." -Shayne, 2023
Never seen the movie, but realized super quick that "claire danes" also plays Jocelyn Schitt in Schitt's Creek. She clearly got better at acting lol.
I wondered why they didn't point that out 😅 Schitt's Creek is great
and ellen in ginny and georgia!!
i was thinking this, too. While i originally knew her in this role, jocelyn schitt is more iconic lol
I was waiting for them to reveal she's Jocelyn!
it literally took that first line from her they put in this for me to realize it, so i’m also shocked they didn’t say anything about her being jocelyn
I also gasped at $20 million budget considering I also know that HSM3 had an $11 million budget and was released in theaters 😭
For when it was made theatrical movies had 20 million budgets. That's a lot for a Disney Channel original
Can we please make a continuous series where Ian just watches DCOMs
I love Ian as the “cringe Disney movie” and Shayne as the “well Disney circa 2005” in this
*chef’s kiss*
As a member of the black community I'm glad we have an excellent representative

This is a series Ian is doing though reacting to a not good movies they should do a series of Ian watching dcoms
@@jassyjonesdcoms are good tho
The one with Tommy was great too!
I'd rather it be Tommy and Ian, their dynamic is not exploited enough and Shayne is in a lot of videos

So more like Texas then?
I was wondering where I’ve heard that name before! Thank you

@@bleachyboy3590in a lot of fantasy works, that basically is the case.
I love Shayne's input about the actual movie recording and editing aspect. Such a great layer to add to the show!
I love that Shane says he can't imagine Tia as Cameron only for Tia to play Cameron during the birthday party scene 😂😂
it’s so sad these didn’t perform well i go back and rewatch them all the time
I just checked the credits of the video, and it's so great to see Tommy Bowe credited as Creator and Producer
Ian's rating: in terms of it being a movie, in general.
Shayne's rating: in terms of it being a DCOM, specifically.
As an identical twin, I can confirm that identical twins are kinda creepy as a concept…not us of course, all the other identical twins 😂 it’s like a glitch
And that basically every twin movie/show is them separated at birth and then discovering they have a twin. People were fascinated by that concept!
i would absolutely love to see Shane and Ian just continue to watch more Disney movies. this is amazing

Omg yes I kept thinking she was familiar!!
A Canadian legend!
Was thinking this all video
Came here to say this lol
It’s astonishing the gap in her acting quality between this and Schitt’s Creek. She’s AMAZING in SC. This film… not so much
Shayne was the perfect choice to balance out the DCOM injustice that could have occurred in this video. Love this series
The villain of this movie looks like he'd really be able to run a law firm
