these movies become existential horror REAL QUICK when you break down the rules of the universe. I'm not just talking about the "can't stop singing" stuff. their is a part of the movie where they need to wait for night in order for the party to happen and the world just cuts to night and they are wearing different clothes. this implies that the world exists in accordance to "what should happen" and when nothing is happening it just cuts to the next plot point. THIS MEANS THE UNIVERSE ADAPTS TO THEIR EXISTENCE AND PUTS THEM INTO THE PLOTLINE OR THE MOVIE WOULD HAVE CUT WHILE THEY WERE TALKING.
I don’t know if you like mangas or anything but there’s a really good one I’d recommend that goes into what you just described like the time cuts and being in a novel, it’s called How I Found It In July. You should definitely check it out and search it up
For real, and if you think about it the fact that at the end of the first movie and throughout the second movie they're singing in the "real world" kind of implies that the rules of the movie universe seem to infect the real world with Brady, Mack, Leyla, and Tanner acting as carriers.
also in the opening song of the second movie (a song implied to be apart of the 'Wet side story' universe) they reference 'can't stop singing' (which didn't exist in the original) and 'surfs up' (a song that is sung by mack and Brady in the real world) - when I say this movie hurts your brain if you think about it too much
And I thought as a kid they said "West" instead of "Wet", so I thought it was actually about the famous musical. xD (I didn't know anything about the story, I just knew the name.)
I think it would have been extra zany if in the 2nd movie they had a scene where one of the actors who played one of the characters in Wet Side Story showed up. Just imagine if Tanner ran into the actor who played him in the movie. How weird that would be.
i mean, the movie was made in the 60s in that world so they would have had to either cast someone else to be the actor or do like really heavy makeup. plus the chances that the actor just happens to be there at that time would be a very big coincidence, though it is a dcom so nothing really has to make sense
@@foodisscarce Yeah I know it would be a bit of a out there/odd coincidence thing to happen, but I just like to muse the possibilities. Cause the ending of the 2nd movie still makes me wonder what happened in the actors lives since the movie was changed.
That would be cool. Another cool idea for the 2nd movie could he to reveal that Max’s grandpa was an actor in Wet Side Story and that could explain both why he loves it and why the surfboard was magically and sent them to the movie. Maybe it was some kind of movie magic bc the cast had so much fun filming the movie. That very strong positive emotion could be why the surfboard was magical
Man, I was so obsessed with the first movie when it came out. I loved the idea of mocking musical tropes. Even as an adult, I get some songs stuck in my head. Never seen the second movie though.
was going to comment something like this! also i’ll forget i have some songs in my apple music so i’ll hit shuffle & be instantly sent back singing every word lol
Are the Teen Beach Movies great? Yes, they are. Do they have great music? Yes, they do. Do I have extreme nostalgia for these movies even though they’re only a few years old? Yes, I do. Really though, they’re just fun as heck. Who cares if they’re cheesy
Im sorry but i hate the sequelllll Even as a kid the existential threat of the characters in the movie reseting time and changing the timeline felt unfulfilling.
The ending of the second movie has always pissed me off. It’s like the writers of the second movie forgot that the two main characters were full on dating before they went into the movie in the first one. Even if the whole plot of the first movie didn’t happen they were still dating before everything happened and therefore would still remember who the other person was
@@YedidahMVO but they didn’t meet each other because of the movie. At the start of the first one they were dating already and he was a fan of the movie. They met surfing on the beach
@@zoelundy5561 no they met when Brady was watching the movie and mackenzie thought it was dumb, so Brady made her watch it, so I always assumed that's what the film meant when it said they wouldn't have met eachother
@@noelward7491 so I assume because of Leila Queen of the beach replacing the movie…..meaning Leila queen of the beach existing instead of queen of the beach, Brady never watched it so Mackenzie never made her though about it being dumb so Brady didn’t make her watch it so they never met. Right?
The first one is kinda a fun time. It’s not perfect and it’s got it’s cringe and weird moments. The songs and plot are solid enough to where it’s fun. Both the songs and choreography are really good. The second one is just dumb
I know!!! A lot of the songs in TBM feel like they're there for a plot reason Surf Crazy to introduce the Surfers, Cruising for a Bruisin for the bikers. Falling for ya to set up the conflict. Meant to be as an attempt to get them to like each other. Same for Like Me. Can't Stop Singing is about them getting stuck-stuck in the movie TB2's songs feel a bit too.. modern and like they're not needed?
It was an absolute delight to find out that Teen Beach Movie which I was obsessed with when I was 8 still holds up now that im 18, for real the songs are absolute bangers
What I really like about these movies is that they are both co-lead. This isn't a movie purely for boys or girls. Yeah, it's a dcom, so there is an assumed audience, but at the same time there isn't anything in the movies that directly "belongs" to either group :) I also like that both movies, dispite being obviously co-lead, have female characters making the biggest decisions, in a way. Mckenzie has to make the decision to stay instead of leaving, and yeah the decision is based partly on her relationship, but that's OK with me. Leila has to make a decision about if she wants to still be the cute ditsy biker gal whose entire conflict is about her brother or her boyfriend or if she wants to do something else. Also, just my take on the whole "how the heck did that happen?" with the movie changing: Since Mckenzie and Brad's life changed because the movie did, it makes sense that the actors in the original movie suddenly had filmed a different one. If the movie can change in the real world, including real people's relationships and circumstances (because now neither Mckenzie or Brady has a reason to be at the beach that night, it makes sense that they now had new reasons) So the actors would just fall in line and believe that they filmed this version instead of the original. This is also why Mckenzie says that the movie has ahead of its time, because in the new timeline, it was extremely progressive.
I've always preferred TBM over TB2 because It felt like a complete story. They went to place, learned about themselves, went home. While TB2 is fine, I don't like a the plot choices, because it kind of disregards TBM ever happening? Not to mention, the songs for TBM all served a plot purpose. But in TB2, they felt like if they weren't there, it wouldn't really change much?
I like the concept of them being sucked into the movie and how they begin the slowly change it like in back to future but since it’s a Disney movie it has the Disney doing stereotypes for everyone feel and look to it
I have commented too many times on this video but I have one last thing to say: as an official Ross Lynch stan I need to share the fact that he and his brothers wrote On My Own It’s also my favorite song out of both movies but I’m probably biased since he helped write it 😂
Got to admit the first has some great music numbers that the second didn't really hit but overall up there in good DCOM canon for me. Maybe I'm just bias to any mild West Side Story reference
“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - C.S. LEWIS
I really love the first one because it's kinda like...rated G Rocky Horror Picture Show? With the cheesyness, couple being thrown into a universe of off-beat characters, and cool outfits (especially with the biker gang in Teen Beach), and the two main "normal" characters slowly being corrupted by the strange place they're stuck in, plus they accidentally get paired with some of the residents of this strange place. Heck, the guy who plays Brad in the 1975 Rocky Horror Picture Show movie IS IN TEEN BEACH MOVIE 1 as the old guy (I don't remember who he's supposed to be, I think he's the main girl's grandpa or something?) But the 2nd movie? No, I hated it, I hated it SO BAD! I thought the first one ended on a really high note and they ruined it with the 2nd movie!
I never had Disney channel as a kid, just freeview, and remember a vivid memory of being on holiday in America seeing it advertised to come out like the day after I left. And that stuck with me, and as soon as I saw it on Disney+ 8 years later I instantly watched it, and yknow what I feel like it holds up. Then again I just fucking love musicals and anything to do with weird time loop shit
The second one still breaks me it hurt my head thinking on how dose “Queen of the beach movie exist.” Wouldn’t the actors know they never filmed that or anyone in the productising of it. Or did the original west side movie never get made in our world and a it’s random film appear one day Edit: it get worst the grandfather paradox happen the second ending cause the first movie to never happen if the first movie never happened how did the second movie work And nothing to do with that it also I feel it like a 00s filmed in the 10s doing a 60s film that feel like it was filmed in the 80s
Yeah, it annoys me to no end that the second movie makes it so the first movie never happened. It makes me strongly dislike the second movie. I love the first movie though! Definitely one of my favorites.
I still love Teen Beach Movie (I'm an adult now) and I replay the songs quite often, especially cruisin for a brusin. I remember getting invited to a friend's house for a group party to watch the premiere of Teen Beach, and it was loads of fun. I am not a big fan of the second, the premise was alright but hate how they ended it, but still good music overall.
The second movie is bad, it undoes all the development of the first one. Tanner and all the songs carry the entire movie which is the only reason I can rewatch it.
I used to sing "Gotta Be Me" all the time as a 9 year old. I also used to try and do Tanner's insane quiff. How I've ever had a girlfriend, I do not know.
Literally looked up "Seamus Gorman Teen Beach Movie" like 4 days ago because I wanted to see if you had a take on it. I'm so so so glad you're putting out this video now, I feel like I'm psychic in a way
The day that Teen Beach Movie came out, my family left for vacation. There was something wrong with the cable at the vacation home we were staying at, so all we had access to were things that were already recorded on the DVR. Teen Beach Movie was the only family friendly thing recorded. We watched that movie at least ten times that week. I fell in love with it, everyone else was super sick of it.
i really love the first one because it is very different from other dcom movies and has a very original plot (i also like that Brady and McKenzie are already a couple). but i really do not understand the decisions made on the 2nd one, which retcons most of the things stablished in the 1st one. this 2nd movie has musical numbers in the “real” world without any explanation (and also ignores the last bit of the first one) anyways they are fun (also, vegard, the guy who plays tanner is gay!)
When the second one premiered I straight up sobbed at the end Definitely an overreaction on my part, although it made sense at the time cuz I was extremely excited for it and then *that* happens 😒
Don’t know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but because you guys loved Tanner so much I thought I’d share it, the actor for Tanner also played Pennywise in a musical parody version of the IT films
Would be so cool if you did a collab with cinema therapy, and got a favorite childhood film analyzed by a psychologist and a film maker, and you bring your passion and humor.
My high-school was SO BIG it was like an "open-service" lmao you could actually come and go as you want and bring any stranger into it and anyone could come which led to many problems (delinquents, big couple fights with a hammer and blood, people being pushed of the stairs...) and since I left they never improve the security... It's one of the biggest high-school in France but also one of the worst bc ANYONE can come in, there is no passwords, no check ups as in some other high-schools...
Sometimes when I think about this movie, I think what if it was gay like if it was made now there is probably a 60% it would be gay. Mac catches Layla and Himbo Lite falls into Tanners arms then bam! Awkward ho-yay!
I remember being so exited for this movie to come because I had just done West Side Story at my theatre during that spring and it was the first play I did
honestly your reviews are the best thing to happen to youtube in yeeaaarsssss. i dont think ive enjoyed watching any other duo more than you and vegard!
Seamus, would you consider ever playing disney-centered video games for the channel? Like toy story 3 video game or maybe kingdom hearts? I feel like it could be a good idea
Garret Clayton (Tanner) commented in a reaction video a few years ago on why Tanner and Leila didn't kissed at 13:50. As Clayton explained, "We were supposed to kissed but you save that for the 3rd one. I think it wasn't until after the 2nd one everyone realized, they went to our world and we went to theirs. There's no 3rd movie. Cause it wouldn't make sense.".
I actually have a connection to this series. They filmed the high school scenes from Teen Beach 2 at Robinson, a school in Puerto Rico (I live about half an hour away). Supposedly, the actor who played Tanner said it was hard to shoot due to the heat. So yeah a thing happened.
I’ve always noticed that when they get zapped in the second movie it sounds like they just got cooked bye bye out of the movie with the microwave sound effect
The main thing that bothers me about Teen Beach Movie 2 is that the only reason Makenzie stayed in the first film is because of Brady. But because of the way the second film ends, she doesn't know Brady and she wouldn't have stayed. Idk, just bugs me
I think the idea is that she stayed in the new timeline because she grew up watching the Leila, Queen of the Beach movie and it made her super free-spirited and independent, so much so that she refused to leave the beach even without knowing Brady.
@@matthewcorbin and I question why Brady retained his memory of Mackenzie in the new Timeline. Meaning That Brady should have been oblivious of who Mackenzie was in the new timeline since they never met.
I was obsessed with the first movie when it came out so much that I memorized the whole thing. Don't remember much of the second one but that one was also good.
I remember this airing on Disney Channel, and how I would be at my grandmas a lot because she had to watch me, and the counter was on screen all week, and I had seen the first movie a couple of times, now I had never bothered to wait and see what happens when the counter was done, but this was the only time I had been hyped up for the Disney Channels count down thing, so the sequal to this was the only and first time I had seen a new movie premier on Disney's channel for the first time, and that's why these movies were and always be my favorite Disney movies especially how I remember nagging my grandma all day and got a bowl of cereal and was snacking on the couch watching the movie, it was like 9 pm but I was so excited to watch it that day.
I really liked the first one I remember when it first came out, I was waiting for it and doing like a handstand or something in my mom’s room while also waiting for my cousins to come over lol, but I only acknowledge the first movie the second one made me sad
It’s almost like this is a television movie and those cut to blacks were where commercial breaks were supposed to go but there’s no commercials on streaming How perplexing
Teen Beach Movie 2 makes no sense. Like when they come to the real world, don’t those actors exist in real life? So younger versions of them from the 60’s are just walking around? And then they change reality??
They was probably 30 or mid 20s when they acted In it in the 60s and it’s been 40+ years they are most likely dead or if not so old no one would notice
Considering that the characters are send ups of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon who starred in many of those Beach Party movies (and were both in their 20s when doing so), if the actors of this fictional universe are still alive (and Annette died not long before the first film premired--otherwise if her health had allowed it, I think Disney might have asked her to come back and play the Aunt as a distant Grandmother figure instead of making that character an Aunt--they already gave the character a similar name, so having Annette as a divorced Grandma insisting her granddaughter come with her back East would have given more reason to include the grandpa character, and might have fleshed out the real world plot a bit more--as it is, Barry Bostwick feels like he is here as part of an afterthought), we all know what the actors would have turned into: Grace and Frankie from the Netflix show of the same name are the correct age and would have been exactly what the original actors or any of their cohorts would have turned into by that point circa 2015. So just imagine an aged Jane Fonda & Michael Sheen filling out the roles as the aged versions of those actors in universe. Aged, and on death's door if not already dead. And I say that having parents who were about the same age and who one died in 2008 & the other in 2019.
And the reason why I postulate that at sometime in the process Disney must have asked if they could get Annette Funicello, just look up the line up of the original Mickey Mouse Club is all I would say. Disney likes pulling on old alumni when they can get them, especially if they're doing something to honor what they were popular for or well known for.
i've only seen the first one and haven't seen it in like 7 years but i completely forgot about the sideplot of the random evil mad scientists played by the british guy from the wizards of waverly place movie and bertram from jessie
Something, I have been wondering about something in Disney movies, is how often they have used the dead parent trope. I'm wondering, can you do a video covering this?
Does anyone remember the contest shortly after the movie came out where you had to count how many times they say surf and a surfboard would pop up on screen every time and the first person to guess the right number would get a surfboard? I didn’t plan on winning but I tallied it in my notebook and it was multiple choice on the Disney Channel website and if you guessed correctly you got to watch an exclusive behind the scenes thing?
I LOVED this movie in late elementary school. It was my favorite movie for a year when it came out, and I got the special collectors DVD with the surfboard keychain as a birthday gift that year. (I'm a senior now)
"This Disney Movie Is Really Weird" brings the seemingly dead series back to life. The jokes are extremely funny, and the concept of Seamus and Vegard watch a legitimately enjoyable movie that can't be ripped apart is such a brilliant idea, I'm shocked it is just now happening. However, the later half of the video, which for the most part is significantly weaker, still does offer classic ripping into DCOM jokes and critiques. Overall, not the best this series has ever been, but still good. 7/10.
Idk what you mean, these movies are hella dark, they got sucked into a movie and would have probably been forced to stay there if they didnt find a way back, theyd be forced to sing and dance against their will. In the second one a bunch of kids that dont exsist randomly start exsisting, and it's fine if you wanna ignore all the implications of real kids going into a movie considering the movie warped around them, but the real world isnt like that, those kids come Into our world and their homeless orphans completely lost in our timeline now.
Me and my brother would watch the original teen beach movie religiously when it first came out (like we would legit just sit there and say like all the lines)
Man Seamus is trying to shift to an adult TH-cam channel and I am here for it, I mean there was the sucking joke, the mispronunciation of "organism"... I see what you're doing Seamus
Tanner is blessing to the world. You never knew true joy until you meet Tanner. Tanner solves all your problems. Need some cheese Puffs? Pray to our lord Tanner. Need more money? Pray to our lord Tanner. Have depression? PRAY. TO. OUR. LORD. TANNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, just my take on the whole "how the heck did that happen?" with the movie changing:
Since Mckenzie and Brad's life changed because the movie did, it makes sense that the actors in the original movie suddenly had filmed a different one. If the movie can change in the real world, including real people's relationships and circumstances (because now neither Mckenzie or Brady has a reason to be at the beach that night, it makes sense that they now had new reasons)
So the actors would just fall in line and believe that they filmed this version instead of the original. This is also why Mckenzie says that the movie has ahead of its time, because in the new timeline, it was extremely progressive.
I think the completely non-gendered problems really make it stick.

Heck, the guy who plays Brad in the 1975 Rocky Horror Picture Show movie IS IN TEEN BEACH MOVIE 1 as the old guy (I don't remember who he's supposed to be, I think he's the main girl's grandpa or something?)
But the 2nd movie? No, I hated it, I hated it SO BAD! I thought the first one ended on a really high note and they ruined it with the 2nd movie!
I never had Disney channel as a kid, just freeview, and remember a vivid memory of being on holiday in America seeing it advertised to come out like the day after I left. And that stuck with me, and as soon as I saw it on Disney+ 8 years later I instantly watched it, and yknow what I feel like it holds up. Then again I just fucking love musicals and anything to do with weird time loop shit
The second one still breaks me it hurt my head thinking on how dose “Queen of the beach movie exist.” Wouldn’t the actors know they never filmed that or anyone in the productising of it. Or did the original west side movie never get made in our world and a it’s random film appear one day
Edit: it get worst the grandfather paradox happen the second ending cause the first movie to never happen if the first movie never happened how did the second movie work
And nothing to do with that it also I feel it like a 00s filmed in the 10s doing a 60s film that feel like it was filmed in the 80s
Yeah, it annoys me to no end that the second movie makes it so the first movie never happened. It makes me strongly dislike the second movie. I love the first movie though! Definitely one of my favorites.
I think the original west side story movie never got made.
I still love Teen Beach Movie (I'm an adult now) and I replay the songs quite often, especially cruisin for a brusin. I remember getting invited to a friend's house for a group party to watch the premiere of Teen Beach, and it was loads of fun. I am not a big fan of the second, the premise was alright but hate how they ended it, but still good music overall.
Seamus actually enjoying a DCOM?! Such a fun video :D And perfect timing since I'm sick on bedrest and already rewatched all your other videos...
11:26 "gasp! Gay! It's gay :D"
Gotta be the funniest, most quotable thing I've ever heard
These videos never fail to make me laugh out loud
thank you!!!
The second movie is bad, it undoes all the development of the first one. Tanner and all the songs carry the entire movie which is the only reason I can rewatch it.
I’m still begging Disney to make a stage musical version of this, it would be so perfect.
I used to sing "Gotta Be Me" all the time as a 9 year old. I also used to try and do Tanner's insane quiff. How I've ever had a girlfriend, I do not know.
The second teen beach movie is just the two main characters of wet side story realizing their gay
Literally looked up "Seamus Gorman Teen Beach Movie" like 4 days ago because I wanted to see if you had a take on it. I'm so so so glad you're putting out this video now, I feel like I'm psychic in a way
The day that Teen Beach Movie came out, my family left for vacation. There was something wrong with the cable at the vacation home we were staying at, so all we had access to were things that were already recorded on the DVR. Teen Beach Movie was the only family friendly thing recorded. We watched that movie at least ten times that week. I fell in love with it, everyone else was super sick of it.
i really love the first one because it is very different from other dcom movies and has a very original plot (i also like that Brady and McKenzie are already a couple). but i really do not understand the decisions made on the 2nd one, which retcons most of the things stablished in the 1st one. this 2nd movie has musical numbers in the “real” world without any explanation (and also ignores the last bit of the first one)
anyways they are fun (also, vegard, the guy who plays tanner is gay!)
When the second one premiered I straight up sobbed at the end
Definitely an overreaction on my part, although it made sense at the time cuz I was extremely excited for it and then *that* happens 😒
You should react to heartstopper! It’s really sweet and I think you’ll like it.
Don’t know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but because you guys loved Tanner so much I thought I’d share it, the actor for Tanner also played Pennywise in a musical parody version of the IT films
I must say Seamus is good at immersing the audience, it really feels like I'm right there with Seamus and Vegard laughing along!
as soon as I saw the title, everything came back. I was obsessed with the first one as a little kid. really looking forward to this video :))
Would be so cool if you did a collab with cinema therapy, and got a favorite childhood film analyzed by a psychologist and a film maker, and you bring your passion and humor.
My high-school was SO BIG it was like an "open-service" lmao you could actually come and go as you want and bring any stranger into it and anyone could come which led to many problems (delinquents, big couple fights with a hammer and blood, people being pushed of the stairs...) and since I left they never improve the security...
It's one of the biggest high-school in France but also one of the worst bc ANYONE can come in, there is no passwords, no check ups as in some other high-schools...
The songs are surprisingly fun. I loved your reaction to the movie! I’ve never watched the second because of how bad I’ve hear it is. 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Now you have to watch Lemonade Mouth! Definitely top tier DCOM
Sometimes when I think about this movie, I think what if it was gay like if it was made now there is probably a 60% it would be gay. Mac catches Layla and Himbo Lite falls into Tanners arms then bam! Awkward ho-yay!
Well, a couple of the actors are LGBT sooooo 👀
I remember being so exited for this movie to come because I had just done West Side Story at my theatre during that spring and it was the first play I did
To be fair, the cut to blacks were for ad breaks...yk...cause disney channel....traditional television...
honestly your reviews are the best thing to happen to youtube in yeeaaarsssss. i dont think ive enjoyed watching any other duo more than you and vegard!
Seamus, would you consider ever playing disney-centered video games for the channel? Like toy story 3 video game or maybe kingdom hearts? I feel like it could be a good idea
Toy Story 3 game would be hilarious 😂
oh my god i would love it if he played the toy story 3 video game
i’m surprised he hasn’t mentioned kingdom hearts with how popular it’s been lately and how big of a disney fan he is.
I love this movie sm you don’t understand
THE ORIGINAL. I DO NOT CLAIM THE SEQUEL.
24:14 Pretty sure them cutting to black is so that it's easy to cut into commercials
Garret Clayton (Tanner) commented in a reaction video a few years ago on why Tanner and Leila didn't kissed at 13:50. As Clayton explained, "We were supposed to kissed but you save that for the 3rd one. I think it wasn't until after the 2nd one everyone realized, they went to our world and we went to theirs. There's no 3rd movie. Cause it wouldn't make sense.".
I’d love to see an updated Pixar movie ranking video from Seamus (not a teir list, more of a worst-to-best walkthrough)
YESS I'm so glad you're reacting to this!!
I actually have a connection to this series. They filmed the high school scenes from Teen Beach 2 at Robinson, a school in Puerto Rico (I live about half an hour away). Supposedly, the actor who played Tanner said it was hard to shoot due to the heat.
So yeah a thing happened.
I’ve always noticed that when they get zapped in the second movie it sounds like they just got cooked bye bye out of the movie with the microwave sound effect
These movies were my childhood. I know they are incredibly strange and have MANY flaws but they will always hold a special place in my heart!
Movies cut to black so they can put an ad in between takes
these were fr my fav movies for long time, i got so exicted when i got the notification
20:00 “she’s really good!” :D
The main thing that bothers me about Teen Beach Movie 2 is that the only reason Makenzie stayed in the first film is because of Brady. But because of the way the second film ends, she doesn't know Brady and she wouldn't have stayed. Idk, just bugs me
I think the idea is that she stayed in the new timeline because she grew up watching the Leila, Queen of the Beach movie and it made her super free-spirited and independent, so much so that she refused to leave the beach even without knowing Brady.
@@matthewcorbin and I question why Brady retained his memory of Mackenzie in the new Timeline.
Meaning That Brady should have been oblivious of who Mackenzie was in the new timeline since they never met.
@@adammartinez8061 I think he was oblivious of who she was when the timeline changed, or maybe I'm misremembering...
I was obsessed with the first movie when it came out so much that I memorized the whole thing. Don't remember much of the second one but that one was also good.
Love Seamus making fun of the heteronormativity in “like me” as if my sisters and I haven’t been messing it up to be gay for years
11:26 i love how he said like
*gasp GAY! (it's gay)...
...
i'm gay
8:25 Is it weird that I mainly recognise Steve Valentine as the minister of spring from the Tinkerbell movies-
I remember this airing on Disney Channel, and how I would be at my grandmas a lot because she had to watch me, and the counter was on screen all week, and I had seen the first movie a couple of times, now I had never bothered to wait and see what happens when the counter was done, but this was the only time I had been hyped up for the Disney Channels count down thing, so the sequal to this was the only and first time I had seen a new movie premier on Disney's channel for the first time, and that's why these movies were and always be my favorite Disney movies especially how I remember nagging my grandma all day and got a bowl of cereal and was snacking on the couch watching the movie, it was like 9 pm but I was so excited to watch it that day.
omg PLS do a video of you ranking all the DCOM characters after you’ve gotten through them all 😩
This is literally my favorite DCOM
Same
there’s cut to blacks between takes because when it aired on tv that’s when the ads were 😭😭😭
I really liked the first one I remember when it first came out, I was waiting for it and doing like a handstand or something in my mom’s room while also waiting for my cousins to come over lol, but I only acknowledge the first movie the second one made me sad
It’s almost like this is a television movie and those cut to blacks were where commercial breaks were supposed to go but there’s no commercials on streaming
How perplexing
Now im just waiting for Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 reaction
the turning to black stands for in disney channel ads play when it cuts to black
Teen Beach Movie 2 makes no sense. Like when they come to the real world, don’t those actors exist in real life? So younger versions of them from the 60’s are just walking around? And then they change reality??
They was probably 30 or mid 20s when they acted In it in the 60s and it’s been 40+ years they are most likely dead or if not so old no one would notice
@@renk9290 it’s still weird though. Like now there are two of the actors in real life?
To be fair. They may not recognize an actor from a movie before their time.
Considering that the characters are send ups of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon who starred in many of those Beach Party movies (and were both in their 20s when doing so), if the actors of this fictional universe are still alive (and Annette died not long before the first film premired--otherwise if her health had allowed it, I think Disney might have asked her to come back and play the Aunt as a distant Grandmother figure instead of making that character an Aunt--they already gave the character a similar name, so having Annette as a divorced Grandma insisting her granddaughter come with her back East would have given more reason to include the grandpa character, and might have fleshed out the real world plot a bit more--as it is, Barry Bostwick feels like he is here as part of an afterthought), we all know what the actors would have turned into:
Grace and Frankie from the Netflix show of the same name are the correct age and would have been exactly what the original actors or any of their cohorts would have turned into by that point circa 2015. So just imagine an aged Jane Fonda & Michael Sheen filling out the roles as the aged versions of those actors in universe. Aged, and on death's door if not already dead.
And I say that having parents who were about the same age and who one died in 2008 & the other in 2019.
And the reason why I postulate that at sometime in the process Disney must have asked if they could get Annette Funicello, just look up the line up of the original Mickey Mouse Club is all I would say. Disney likes pulling on old alumni when they can get them, especially if they're doing something to honor what they were popular for or well known for.
i've only seen the first one and haven't seen it in like 7 years but i completely forgot about the sideplot of the random evil mad scientists played by the british guy from the wizards of waverly place movie and bertram from jessie
Something, I have been wondering about something in Disney movies, is how often they have used the dead parent trope. I'm wondering, can you do a video covering this?
18:11 Ross Butler?? There’s TWO Rosses in this movie?? (I only every watched the first one years ago lol)
Just wanted to say I love your videos and thank you for making them!
I would he so happy if you reviewed more of the barbie movies. Awesome video btw
Does anyone remember the contest shortly after the movie came out where you had to count how many times they say surf and a surfboard would pop up on screen every time and the first person to guess the right number would get a surfboard? I didn’t plan on winning but I tallied it in my notebook and it was multiple choice on the Disney Channel website and if you guessed correctly you got to watch an exclusive behind the scenes thing?
“And Brady like they’re really not trying”
Me, whose name is Brady: Am I a joke to you?
I LOVED this movie in late elementary school. It was my favorite movie for a year when it came out, and I got the special collectors DVD with the surfboard keychain as a birthday gift that year. (I'm a senior now)
The fact my school did a dance with this movie as the theme
Been waiting since the announcement on your story for this! 🎉
Yes! Damn I loved the first movie, ngl I absolutely learnt all the dances
Edit: 13:30 meant to be! It was set up for you
Ikr. They’re cheesy, but I love them. And the music is just too good
i was gonna say the same thing haha
YESS! What a lost opportunity
"This Disney Movie Is Really Weird" brings the seemingly dead series back to life. The jokes are extremely funny, and the concept of Seamus and Vegard watch a legitimately enjoyable movie that can't be ripped apart is such a brilliant idea, I'm shocked it is just now happening. However, the later half of the video, which for the most part is significantly weaker, still does offer classic ripping into DCOM jokes and critiques. Overall, not the best this series has ever been, but still good. 7/10.
the second movie might not be as good as the first one but the songs are SO good. i love them all so much
Great video seamus and vegard.
So is there a Movie called "S" in this movie's universe where it is just a slow pan around rural new york
Idk what you mean, these movies are hella dark, they got sucked into a movie and would have probably been forced to stay there if they didnt find a way back, theyd be forced to sing and dance against their will. In the second one a bunch of kids that dont exsist randomly start exsisting, and it's fine if you wanna ignore all the implications of real kids going into a movie considering the movie warped around them, but the real world isnt like that, those kids come Into our world and their homeless orphans completely lost in our timeline now.
Tanner's character in the 2nd movie hits different after the Barbie movie-
i LOVE these types of videos. so happy u did teen beach movie !!!
Me and my brother would watch the original teen beach movie religiously when it first came out (like we would legit just sit there and say like all the lines)
Man Seamus is trying to shift to an adult TH-cam channel and I am here for it, I mean there was the sucking joke, the mispronunciation of "organism"... I see what you're doing Seamus
He's in his 1989 era.
There's a zombies 3 can you make a video on it
So if the movie is another dimension then who are the actors that played the characters and how do they exist?
I watched the first Teen Beach Movie as a kid and had completely forgotten about it until this video
When I first watched this movie I wasn’t sure why I liked tanner so much and only now do I realize it’s because he’s a himbo 💕
Tanner is blessing to the world. You never knew true joy until you meet Tanner. Tanner solves all your problems. Need some cheese Puffs? Pray to our lord Tanner. Need more money? Pray to our lord Tanner. Have depression? PRAY. TO. OUR. LORD. TANNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only reason I remember this movie is because afterwards they premiered the Disney Mickey Mouse cartoons on Disney Channel
I knew you'd like Teen Beach Movie with how cultured you are about Toy Story. KING
Ah yes, my favorite 60’s musicals, Grease and West Side Story
18:04 a digital analogue clock. Very niche
