Keep it goin', it's the best!!!!!!!
I LOVE THE DISNEY RABIT HOLEEE
I am enjoying it quite a lot lmao
Do austin and ally next
i love it
teen beach movie is NOT the one you want to watch out of context 😂
Literally with context is already kind of confusing
So true
@@lailawilliams3007Yeah, it's just "tropes: the movie"
@@lailawilliams3007 like how Brody is singing in the end, when he never saw that movie? the more I watch the more confusing it gets
This! 😂😂😂😂
Mathew listening to music from the 2nd movie out of order AND out of context then being surprised he is confused is so strange to me😂
Right?!
YES!! 😂 I'm only halfway through, and I'm *CRYING* this is so funny!! Lol, from what I remember the second movie barely made sense to begin with (or maybe I just didn't really like it that much), but it *definitely* doesn't make any sense without the context of the first movie 🤣🤣
Never realized before how *completely* context-dependent all of these songs are 😂
@@mak_inthebox4817 I only liked the falling for ya reprise in the second movie
I'm saying the same thing .
I know when he said the first two songs were from the second movie I’m was just laughing. Like why did you choose to start with songs from the sequel😂
Can you please do a part two with songs like "falling for ya", "meant to be" and "can't stop singing"?
YES
Whoops typo, I’ll fix later
The movies might suddenly make a lot more sense to him if he listened to I Can't Stop Singing. Or they might make even less sense. I forget how much context is actually in that song
Just watched a compilation of songs from the first movie. “Can’t Stop Singing” definitely contains the core premise in its lyrics and he might recognize the song from all the Tick Tocks that use the sound, but “Surf Crazy” contains the characters figuring out the plot of the movie and they spell it out a bit more. All that said, I don’t know how this reaction did not contain “Can’t Stop Singing” I would think that is the most popular song from the movie. Though watching the compilation, I realize I may have never seen this movie in its entirety.
YESS THISS
As weird as these movies are, believe it or not they do make A LOT more sense in context
The TLDR of the story is that 2 teens accidentally end up in the world of their favorite movie, Teen Beach Movie, which is a parody of older beach movies. That's why everybody can dance and sing and they just do it out of blue and why the songs are so cheesy
No, the movie isn't just a parody of beach movie! It's called "Wet Side Story" because it's basically West Side Story on the beach 😂
It’s not their favorite movie it’s Brady’s mack thinks it’s stupid
@@sophielem59it’s a parody of west side story lol
@madnessarcade7447 yeah but didn't she used to like it. I thought the point was that she only said she didn't like it because she was getting too old for it
@@sophielem59 oops. Haven't watched it since it roughly came out. I forgot about that
Mathew: “I’m so confused by everything”
Also Mathew: * starts by listening to the songs from the end of the second film * 😂😂😂
It physically hurts to see... all of this playing out. Teen Beach Movie 1 and 2 are some context HEAVY movies. I would love to see you react to them as a whole!
Yeah! Please let him just react to them as whole.
"Like Me" has such a great message. It takes the stereotypical things (girls bake/cook, boys can't be sensitive) and Brady and Mac are just like "Sir/Ma'am, that's lowkey kinda sexist"
Also, fun fact: this movie was filmed in Puerto Rico
I always forget where it was filmed.. that actually explains the Bermunda waves sending them to the movie, haha.
I was screaming for Andrew to give him some context, even if just a little bit, because his massive confusion with the plot, costumes, and settings wasn't allowing him to just listen to the songs
He keeps confusing everything by over analyzing everything he could possibly overanalyze.
I'm surprised you didn't listen to "Can't Stop Singing" since that's one of the main songs from the first movie. It might've given a little more context, but also might've confused you more 😅
Edit: I just rewatched a few other songs and "Surf Crazy" "Falling For Ya" and "Meant To Be" explain the plot a bit more.
The plot of the first movie is that Mack and Brady are friends who get sucked into Brady's favorite movie, "Wet Side Story" which is a musical about rivaling surfers and bikers. Originally, a surfer guy and a biker girl fall in love and bridge the gap, but Mack and Brady accidentally change the plot of the movie when the characters fall for them instead. So they have to correct the story by uniting the couple and everyone else themselves.
In the sequel, it's reversed and the movie characters find themselves in the real world. Though tbh I don't remember the context as to why Mack and Brady didn't know each other. I feel like it was an alternate timeline or something?
You're incorrect, Mack and Brady were dating and have been dating throughout the two movies.
Mack and Brady met over summer and started dating, when going back to school they realized they actually knew nothing about each other since they only talked about surfing
It’s because Mack changed the film by giving Layla advise before she went back about being her own person and being a girl boss and that not exactly something Brady would watch so it ended up becoming Mack’s favorite film and a bunch of other girls about how it was ahead of it’s time pretty much it’s how they met before but in reverse because the film changed and they got together because of the film it sound’s confusing the way I’m saying it but it’s not I probably didn’t explain it very well but short story they got together because of the movie now the movie has changed they never met
And some will say they went into the movie they already changed it no they changed their mind set a little mostly Layla but in the 2nd film you can see they were still acting out the movie the way it was before
@@Lucky_72 never would've guessed that the reason the entirety of Gen-Z doesn't understand this ending is because it's actually too smart for its kid-teen demographic. you just absolutely blew my mind with, "not exactly something Brady would watch so it ended up becoming Mack’s favorite film". and i literally have only consumed disney channel content my entire 21 years of life. insane. thank you.
It feels like the fifties because the movie is called Wet Side Story (even though at the end of the sequel it becomes Lela Queen of the Beach), but what's important is that Wet Side Story is a parody of West Side Story. And I think it was created in 1957, but I can be wrong.
The plot of Wet Side Story is simple: There are two clans: the surfers and the bikers. They both want the Big Momma, this cosy 'restaurant' for their clans, to hang out. And Lela, the little sister of the biker's chief will fall in love with the leader of the surfers. (So yeah, totally West Side Story). But in this movie, there's a big villain who fakes being British, and with the help of an evil scientist he wants to create a big storm that will rust the biker's motorbikes and prevent surfers from surfing. He wants to raze the restaurant to build a giant building complex.
In Teen Beach 1, Mack (the girl) and Brady (the guy) are trapped in this movie (which is the favorite movie of Brady and Mack's grandpa, but she doesn't like it). They will change the course of the story by hazard, and will try to get it like it should be.
At the end of Teen Beach movie, Mack tells Lela that she shouldn't let people decide what she should do, and that she can do as much a the boys.
The plot of the second movie is that Lela doesn't feel like she belongs to the movie anymore because she wants to do more, and this time it's her and her boyfriend who go to the real world. They meet Mack and Brady who want them to return to their world, where they belong, because without the stars, the movie is disappearing.
At the end of the movie, they return to their world and change the movie to be Lela Queen of the Beach. But Mack and Brady, who met through the movie forget that they knew each other, and so 'That's How We Do' is after they forget everything, so they basically meet again.
As an avid fan of this franchise, you summarized it perfectly
"Big villain who fakes being British"
Perfection.
Also, saying "the favorite movie of Brady and Mack's grandpa" makes it sound like they have the same grandpa, and that would make this a far different movie lmao
Perfect description! I forgot how much I liked the franchise but thank you for remiding me lol
I think that about sums it up lol. Truly the best summary of both movies in my opinion
I think Wet Side Story is actually from 1962, but I could be wrong
This is one of my favorite DCOMs! I love the beachyness, I love the music, the characters, the costumes, literally everything about the movie! The sequel though… it has its moments but it also has its flaws.
The Sequel is just.. oof I was so disappointed after loving the first one
I don’t get the hate for the sequel I think it’s sweet that they get to fall in love all over again
@@TrashyPhancakessame.. plus the songs in the sequel weren’t as good imo
@@TrashyPhancakesit was okay imo! It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst 👍
samee, finally someone@@madnessarcade7447
The reason you're getting 50's vibes is because a large poetion of the plot is based around an in-universe movie musical called Wet Side Story, ahich is set in the 60's, so the music reflects that
Watching Teen Beach with no context AND starting with 2…
Yeah gotta be confusing 😂 But this was my jam as a kid!
Teen Beach Movie 1: Mack and Brady the two leads end up trapped in Brady's favorite cheesy musical movie, Wet Side Story.
Teen Beach Movie 2: Mack and Brady are back in school trying to live their normal lives when the characters from the mlvie end up in their world.
They both actually like WSS iirc not just Brady
@@shawnstum5323 At the beginning of the first movie Mack wasn't into it. She liked it at the end because she became friends with Layla.
Mathew having no clue what the plot of Teen Beach Movie is and watching the songs completely out of order is the funniest thing ever
Mathew watching the FINAL song of the SECOND movie and being super confused is really funny and infurating at the same time
A brief run down of the first movie, the main blonde guy Brady and brunette girl Mack on the poster get transported into a movie. Brady knows this movie, its his favourite movie which is why he jumped into the song and took the spotlight in the third song. In the movie the bikers and suffer fight for the hang out spot but then one of the suffer guys Tanner (he sings with Brady in the last song) saved the girl in the pink leather, Layla from falling and hurting herself, they fall in love and stop the war between the two groups but with Brady and Mack there they manage to screw up the plot of the movie and now have to try to fix it before they can get transported back to reality. Also, it is set back in the era of Grease so the lyrics in Like Me make more sense, Brady and Mack have a very modern sense of how relationship should work while the movie characters dont because they were made for a certain time.
or the short version just random teens get transported into a movie about having fun at the beach
The problem with context in teen beach songs is that most action actually happens without a song. I think the songs that could give a bit of context are "can't stop singing" from the first one, and "best summer ever", "right where i wanna be" and "silver screen" from the second, but even they don't really help. There is also "surf crazy", but it's not the song that gives context, it's just Brady saying what's going on.
MATHEWS AMERICAN ACCENT ACTUALLY SCARED ME AS AN AMERICAN, IT WAS SPOT ON 💀💀
How’d I miss it 😭😭
bro PLEASE do a part two. there’s SO MANY good songs you didn’t get to that I would love to see your reaction to
i love how they chose the songs that reveal as little of the plot as possible
I used to love this movie! It was honestly so underrated- People always talked about high school musical but I always thought it was cheezy and bad 😭
I know right, he left out the best ones
If you’re still doing more live action Disney I’d love to see you react to the 2nd High School Musical movie, if you thought Troy and Gabriella’s friends were jerks in the first one, you’ll probably have a lot to rant about watching the 2nd one lol
This was definitely my favorite musical when i was little, really happy to see you react to this
”When I was little” I feel like it came out only 3-4 years ago😭💀💀
@@mldag1678I felt that too but then I remember I memorized one of the choreographies for a show when I was in fifth grade and now I'm in the university, feeling damm old
@@mldag1678Not even 😟
@@mldag1678the first movie is 10 years old 😐
i haven’t even finished watching the video yet but the amount of joy i felt when i saw the notification for this is unmatched
I like how you listed to Teen Beach 2 too, they have a different plot 😂. The first one has the two main go into a movie and 2 has the movie characters come into reality
Your next stop on the DCOMS rabbit hole should definitely be Lemonade Mouth. Personally I recommend listening to Determinate, She’s So Gone, Somebody, and Breakthrough! Also would love to see more Zombies song reactions.
Lemonade Mouth is so underrated! Those songs are so good!
I watch teen beach movie millions of times, it was my childhood. I know it like the back of my hand and I have the songs engraved in my soul. I’ve seen the second one once and can barely remember anything about it- and he starts with a song from the second one 💔💔💔
The way I jolted at the notification because of
1. Nostalgia (as usual with Matthew)
2. Whenever I see a Matthew McKenna video it's at 12am in my timezone so I have officially been drawing for 12 hours
In my opinion, if you want to understand the movie the best, here are the songs to listen to:
Can’t Stop Singing-This song demonstrates what has happened to the protagonists and why it’s a musical.
Like Me-This song shows character mindsets. The movies are technically about impressing one another, so you get to see each side of the two worlds.
Falling For Ya-This is where the main “oh fvck moment happens that you may be able to catch onto.
Silver Screen-This is the best example in the second movie because it’s the characters revealing the conflict while giving you context to what is happening. I hope there’s another video on TBM.
Also, the fact that you said Like Me reminds you of Grease makes me feel validated. My family thought I was crazy for even suggesting such a thing.
Falling for ya was one of the best tracks in my opinion
real
Fr
Yes
In both movies
This is my favorite dcom! You should definitely watch “Falling for Ya”, “Surf Crazy”, “Meant to Be”, and “Can’t Stop Singing” for a part two. They’re from the first movie and give a lot more context!
The fact that Matthew is even more confused after every song. 😂
gonna admit that i didnt watch the video yet.. BUT I'm so happy you're listening to this masterpiece 😭
This movie and it's sequel gave me an existential crisis. The more you think the more terrifying it gets
Im going to try to explain this the best I can. The main characters are Mack (the girl) and Brady (the boy) they’re both surfers in the real world and Brady loves the 1960s movie”west side story” one day Mack takes this magical surf board that belongs to Brady’s family into some crazy once in a life time waves and then ends up magically being teleported into the plot of west side story, Brady gets there too somehow but I don’t remember exactly. The two characters basically have to help the plot move along the way it was written in order to be able to leave but the main girl character of west side story starts to fall for Brady and the main guy character of west side story starts to fall for Mack when they’re supposed to fall for eachother, not Mack or Brady. Mack and Brady start becoming apart of the world e.g. hair stays dry when in water, forced to be apart of the musical numbers and so on, and are slowly being integrated into the plot of the film. essentially they get the plot back to normal and then travel back to the real world with the magical surfboard. The end scene is all of the teens on the beach watching west side story and the girl in the film winking at Mack is just alluding to the magic of it all as they had met before in the film’s cinematic universe. Also the symbol on the main character’s bracelet from west side story is the same one on the magic surf board
12:46 - omg love it
Ross Lynch ABSOLUTELY has so much Kenergy in this!!
You need to listen to "The Driver Era" because Ross Lynch (who is in these 2 movies) does more music. Some songs from them to hear is "A Kiss", "Preacher Man", "Fantasy", and "Heaven Angel". Great songs and some of my favorites!
Yes! I feel like he would love TDE so much!
I watched Teen Beach so long ago but I still know most the the songs decently well, especially the second one with the projector on the beach
i really liked your last miraculous video it’s a shame it isn’t up anymore x
got copyright claimed, hopefully back soon
If you listened to "Can't Stop Singing" everything makes so much more sense because that's where they talk about what's going on. Can we get a part 2 please with that song and "Falling for ya" and "On My Own" and "Surf Crazy" ?
Frrrr
This was one of the first Disney channel films that I watched and I remember loving it so much
I'm so excited you're reacting to this!! This is one of my favorite Disney movies, I hope you will react to the whole movie in the future cause I'd definitely watch it,it's such a great movie and the music is top tier!
i remember getting the dvd for this movie from like a disney informercial specifically for layla’s necklace. it got stolen about a week later. that was my villain origin story
Oof. F in the chat buddy. (I also got the DVD too)
Ross Lynch, who's the blonde guy, was also on Austin and Ally before Teen Beach, where he plays a famous popstar.
He also had a group with his siblings, called R5, and now he's a duo with one of his brother but I don't remember the name of the duo. But someone will surely do!
bro I’m so ready for this. when I was a kid I memorized every song and choreography for these movies. theater kid since I was born no shame at all
edit: 7:41 I KNEW you would love him!! and at this point you haven’t even heard him sing lol. I must be psychic or something
Weirdly enough the thing I remember most about this movie is the collab they did with Club Penguin. God, that makes me feel old…
He'd likely be less confused if he'd started with Can't Stop Singing.
The songs from the second movie are even more confusing when you've seen the first movie but not the second one. I have no clue what was going on.
Teen Beach is confusing WITH context so listening to the songs out of context and out of order is even more confusing😭
Dear Matthew, when I was in middle school Teen Beach Movie had come out and it was one of my fav Disney Movies, that being said the plot was umm...odd. I never watch the second one so I am only going to tell you what I remember of the top of my head from the first. The movie stars Brady (the blonde boy) and Mac (the girl) who are friend and spend summers surfing at the beach. One day Mac has to tell Brady that she is moving away for school and the two loose their chance to tell each other they love one another. In a final attempt to feel some joy Mac tries to catch one last wave to surf but as she does a storm rolls in. Brady rushes out to save her and the two get taken down by the wave. When they come too on the beach they realize they have been transported into Brady's favorite movie Way Side Story (which is a parody of West Side Story) which is about bikers trying to take over a hang spot on the beach the suffers use. The two try to stay uninvolved but they get dragged into it as well. Unfortunately this has consequences as in the movie the biker leaders sister is supposed to fall in love with Tanner (the main suffer boy) but instead they fall in love with Mac and Brady causing the story to derail. Then spend the movie trying to get the two actual movie characters to fall in love. Some weird stuff happens their modern items start disappearing, and they have a whole song about starting to become part of the movie and cant control when they sing anymore. There are some dumb villains, these two scientists (who I think had some gay undertones) who capture Brady and Mac and that's what brings the bikers and surfers together and Tanner and biker leaders sister fall in love. The two take one final surf and end up back in the modern world (which i think no time has passed in) and join back up with their family. There's a finally dance scene and an after credits scene of the movie characters ending up in the modern world which i believe is the premise of the second movie.
If you want context listen to “can’t stop singing” first!!! Also “meant to be” and “falling for ya” were two of my favorite songs in the movie growing up, and they have more context too 🥹 I’d love to hear you react to them!! “Surf crazy” is also superrr iconic
What I'M confused about is why you're surprised that you're confused when you KNOW you're gonna have zero context. 😂
Gotta be me is the best song of the sequel, I absolutely love it!
Me too,I still listen to it
The main guy, Brady is the star of the Disney show Austin and Ally, he was a singer on that show too, I basically watched these movies because he was in them, he's Ross Lynch, and he's also part of the band R5 if I remember correctly.
i love how he watches the music videos out of order without knowing the plot 😭 no wonder he's confused
"I was expecting him to do, like, eighty backflips"
We NEED to get this man to watch blues brothers asap.
So we are really in the eras of Matthew listening to DCOM's music. I'm so into it!!!
This movie feels like it could turn into a horror/slasher film at any time. Not entirely sure if I'm the one who feels that, but it's just got those vibes where it wouldn't have surprised me if it did.
15:21 that song came at the end of the 2nd movie and would probably only make sense if you watched the last half an hour of the last movie
Why does Mathew look like he could pretty easily belong in Wet Side Story though?
Teen Beach Movie about two Surfer’s who get isekei-ed into a parody of West Side Story, but on a beach. Love it!❤
If you need any context: (or atleast without spoilers)
Two teens get stuck in a 60’s beach movie
It was killing me that I couldn't give Mathew context for this while he was watching the songs. You literally need to know context because both movies you'd never be able to guess what's happening.
Mat struggling with the concept of the movie
Me: Wait for Andrew to help Mat try to understand what heck is going on.
Andrew just left ya boi hanging lolol
Matt bruisers is a 50s term for bikers so cruisin for a bruisin means riding your motorcycle
You’d have to watch the movies you jumped from the second movie to the firsts that why your confused Brady and Mack are friends it’s Disney’s version of west side story basically
I used to be obsessed with this movie!!
Me too 😁
Teen Beach movie is about two teenagers that get transported into a 50s musical movie and then have to find a way back.
oh you've definitely gotta make a part two for this. specifically just with songs from the first movie
Feel like the Austin and Ally songs should be next, just for more Ross lynch
Ah yes… I was waiting for this one.
a part 2 is needed. I recommend falling for ya (from the first movie, theres 2 versions), surf crazy, meant to be, and best summer ever
So context. Teen Beach 1 is about Mack and Brady, who are from the future, being in love. But, Mack is leaving to go to a fancy school and didn't tell Brady yet. Mack uses a magical surfboard and both get transported to Wet Side Story(the universe's version of West Side Story). Brady knows the movie by heart, but they've changed the movie and have to get Tanner and Lela(the love interests of Wet Side Story) back together before they are merged into the movie. Also there's an evil scientist and land baron who create the storm at the end of the movie, but no one really cares about them.
Teen Beach 2 is about Mack and Brady after summer ends. Lela and Tanner somehow get transported into the future and Mack and Brady have to get the back to the movie before the movie disappears. The ending of the second movie is that Lela changed the movie and now Mack and Brady don't know eachother and meet for the first time.
Now that I say it out loud... I see how ridiculous these two plots sound. Lela's solo number is actually my favorite and it'll give you some context for the story.
Fun fact, almost everyone who claimed to have Teen Beach movie as a favorite Disney movie is now part of the LGBTQ+ community, including a lot of the actors in the movie 😂😂 no but fr you set yourself up by doing for the second movie first. Gonna need a part two with more songs from the first one, my personal favorite is I Can't Stop Singing
Huh. Meanwhile I only heard of it this year.
I'm a fake! 😢
Ah yes. Can confirm, this movie is my favorite and I'm queer.
Oooh! Im early 😂
You won’t be able to stop singing 😉😂🏖️🌊🎶
23:28 oh I thought they were referencing The Little Rascals when they would do that as a form of hello…
Also I can’t wait til you watch the movie. It’ll make a bit more sense but you’ll probably still be even more confused😂
I love how confused he is 😂 like literally he is watching one of the most confusing Disney Channel movie endings out of context😂
Mathew's 'merican "Oh, Tanner," had me shook ❤😅
This movie was my childhood
I would love to see a video of you reacting to music from the Nick show called Make It Pop and the group XOIQ !!!
The choreographer is Christopher Scott, and he is BRILLIANT! I was around to see the Beach Party type movies upon which these films pat homage to...they were a blast!
Seen it around 20 times…
The music never leaves my mind
You should do austin and ally next
You should really listen to the songs in order and with context. Maybe do movie reactions and you wouldnt be as confused!
He keeps talking about how much Ross's character reminds him if Ken when there's another male character in the movie who is 100% live action Ken😂
omg i loved teen beach, if u make a part 2 i highly recommend listening to can't stop singing and falling for ya, iconic songs they are
Fun fact, this movie(s) has a song for when they just start singing randomly in public.
Seriously, HSm got a stage show, why didn't this? Imagine this on stage, playing with musical tropes instead of movie tropes. Like, instead of them being confused by movie transitions, they would ask "why are they rolling away the buildings" or try to talk to the crew, or directly reference the fact that life just paused for fifteen minutes after the intermission. It would be so much fun, and it's practically made to be a show. It's mainly based on Grease and West Side Story, both of which were Broadway musicals long before they were movies, and there is even a built in name "Teen Beach Musical" Get on this Disney!
Your next DCOM should 100% be lemonade mouth it’s probably my favorite Disney movie and for songs I highly recommend determinate, she’s so gone, and somebody
Those are definitely the biggest songs from the movie 😊
Yes! Lemonade Mouth! I honestly don't think there's a single song from that movie I don't like
I CANT BELIEVE U REACTED TO THIS OMG I M SO HAPPY
Out on my own is probably my fave song despite the inaccuracy of the guitar playing 😂 the actor actually knows how to sing and play
Teen Beach is my favorite DCOM as someone who loves musical theater- 2 people getting trapped in a Grease/West Side Story-esque movie is a really great framing for a love letter to musicals of that era.
The funny thing about this movie is i know its whole f*cking plot SOLELY from the fact that they played commercials for it non-stop during one summer. Never watched it but its just ingrainrd in my head.
i need more of this, i couldn't stop laughing. great vidoe, hope you have a great day
Reacting to TBM Songs and not having "I can't Stop Singing" is a SIN 🤣🤣
Do a second part haha! I love TBM, specially the first one, I always find it so fun!
“It feels so fifties” I WONDER WHY??
has he ever done lemonade mouth?? cause those are AMAZING songs
The second song you listened to is the last song from the second movie. Out of context it makes absolutely no sense, especially without knowing anything about the first movie, lmao 😂
