▶NEW REACTION EVERY SATURDAY
i'm obsessed with the fact that you guys so easily came up with every brilliant plot point of this prequel, but the title is what's causing so much stress lmao
😂😂😂 Titles are haarrrrd 😅
Joenovia
😊
@@alicemurray4078oh my gosh yes
@@PinkPopcastprotecting the queen? Or something like that or protecting jenovia
Only the icon that is Julie Andrews could be the OG Mary Poppins, Maria in “The Sound of Music”, Queen Clarice in “The Princess Diaries” franchise, Queen Lillian in the “Shrek” franchise AND the voice of Lady Whistledown. We don’t deserve her.
EXACTLY!!
The picture put for Julie Andrews was actually Angela Lansbury.
Don't forget that she's the OG Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady in the Broadway stage show!
700th like
don't forget she also voiced the kraken in aquaman. her voice sounded amazing in that movie
The way Rizzo has been his surname this whole time I just assumed his parents really liked Grease
😂😂
Same
Rizzo was her surname in grease too haha. Her real name was betty
The friend who was sweet about Mia’s new hair was actually a full fledged character in the books who’s awesome but it wasn’t accommodated in the movie.
That’s sad, I always wanted to know more about her
@@PinkPopcast the books are actually HILARIOUS
Her name is Tina Hawkim Baba and she's the only daughter of a Saudi Arabian oil sheik who sent his daughter to school in America because he was concerned about her safety!!
In the books, Joe and her bodyguard bond over their controversial stance on rubber bullets for crowd control. There is so much more but I was so sad Tina was left out of the movies.
Mia and Tina initially become friends because they are the only two girls in school who know what it's like to have a bodyguard follow them everywhere. But then Tina turns out to be awesome.
@@cheesylurda1355 it's things like this that I don't even remember properly from the books that make me want a reboot as a tv show, but they could never cast queen Clarice properly if they didn't somehow get Julie Andrews back for it
Okay but for Call Me Joe--what if in the first episode he asks Clarisse to call him Joey and when everything falls to shit in the season one finale, Clarisse shouts 'Joey--wait.' Joe replies. "No, call me Joe." and he walks as the screen fades to black.
*cue “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who*
Disney Plus presents: The Genovia Files, a Princess Diaries prequel
We need to make this happen lol XD
That’s an awesome name!
Me crying because the Queen married into royalty and was not the Princess (which is why she couldn’t rule but Mia could), but also really wanting this prequel.
Head-cannon, Joe was assigned to protect the “noble woman” betrothed to the prince.
Ooh good info, thanks!
It's possible she was a minor princess of another European country, too far down the line of succession to have any chance of rule in her own country, maybe? Then she could still be a princess, but only a Genovian royal by marriage?
Spoilers for sequel: It's actually really sad that even Mia wasn't actually meant to rule by herself, but the queen just wanted to keep the family in line and the only one in their family who could somewhat rule was Mia since she's a direct descendent of the king. Mia currently still has to marry to be queen, but her grandma didn't mention that for obvious reasons. That's also why the 2 grumps always talk about being royalty soon, because if Mia doesn't accept and start husband hunting the Government will vote for a new royal family.
For the Prequel: Paolo was hired by the family that wants to regain power. He's to get close to the royal family and find stuff to get their position challenged. That's why he would try to help Felipe (Mia's dad) run away.
Brilliant!
Julie Andrews will go down in history for some of the most ICONIC characters. Her voice is angelic and honestly we aren’t worthy of her presence 😌
She’s fully a goddess
I can’t decide if I want Paolo to always have two different assistants and just call them Gretchen and Helga or if they should always be different and he only hires people with the names Gretchen and Helga.
I think they should always be different assistants but he continues to call them Gretchen and Helga
Yesss vastly different women always names Gretchen and Helga 🤣
Or or or! He hires these women under the agreement that they’ll only work for him if they call themselves Gretchen and Helga when working around clients lmfao
About genovia ceasing to exist if Amelia doesn't accept the throne:
There is a tiny principality in southern Europe called Monaco, which is ruled by a family called Grimaldi. This tiny nation had a pact/agreement(?) signed in 1918 with France, with whom it shares its only border, that if the the Grimaldis cease to exist then Monaco will be absorbed into France. That is, if the house of Grimaldi has to heir to sit in the Monegasque throne, it will cease to exist as an independent nation, abd become part of the French republic.
This pact was however later revoked in 2002.
Omg 😭😭😭
Based solely off your Bridgerton and Princess Diaries spinoff ideas, I think you guys should make tv shows
Thanks, I think we’d have a lot of fun doing that! 😆
now im OBSESSED with this prequel! hahahahaha someone call up disney and make this happen
Willie Brown was the mayor of San Franciso, where the movie was set and shot. He was known for portraying himself in films and TV and this was one of his more memorable cameos.
He was mayor for 8 years directly after being in the State Assembly for 30 years, the last 15 as Speaker. Pretty famous back in the day.
As much as I love this movie, I'm suuuuuuper hyped for the second one next week since, you know, IT'S THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE 😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm honestly not a fan of the second one, but I'll leave a like and comment to support the channel. I love Benji and Rizzo.
OMG LMAO
CACKLING
Yess my favourite one 😍😍
As someone with curly hair VERY similar to Mia, always broke my heart in any makeover scene when they straightened curly hair to make it beautiful.
Also, still waiting for my long lost grandmother to come tell me I’m royalty 😆
Same when any actor/musician with curly hair become famous and instantly got rid of their curls.
@@gmoo84 so true! Nicole Kidman had such beautiful curly hair. I wish she’d kept it curly.
Same girl 😭 And Keri Russell, our curly queen icon, chopped it and started relaxing/straightening! 90s/00s were a hard time to be a curly girl.
Curly hair guy here , growing up in the 2010s I straighten, use relaxers for years but now I'm thinking about shaving my head and let it grow back naturally again.
the fact that Joe helps Mia learn how to walk down the stairs like a royal, makes me believe that he would be from the one who "taught" Clarisse in her younger years how to obtain the class she has now
The “LETS ADD A TIARA!” Was in the commercial when theyd show it on Disney so I screamed it with Benji
Haha I remember that
"Why would y'all not just sit her down and tell her together?"
"It's not dramatic"
Rizzo explaining almost every single screenwriting decision
Who needs "Kenobi" when we could have "Call Me Joe". Change my mind 😌
The "It happens all the time" line was a reference to Pretty Woman, probably because both Joe and Paulo were in that movie and it had a similar makeover to classy lady type premise. If you haven't seen it, it stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere (1990- so basically still the 80s) and it's honestly a great classic romcom! Highly recommend :)
I think the guy who said the line was the same guy from Pretty woman
43:00 Yeah, we need a Parent Trap reaction 😆
It would make me happy if they did It Takes Two with Mary Kate and Ashley
Those would be great nostalgia Reactions for sure!
Hate that movie. Horrible parents splitting up twins like they're pets or something
Sandra Oh in this movie is Top-Tier comedy we love to see. She’s brilliant in ‘Bean: The Movie’ btw.
Mia’s Mom, Helen Thermopolis, described Josh the best: “That Backstreet Boy Clone…” 😂
Seeing Rizzo and Benji being happy makes me so happy. One of my favourite reactions.
🥰🥰
This movie is so iconic, but it also has so many small moments that are simply hilarious the more you watch them
Disney might just call the prequel as "The Queen's Diaries" or "Clarisse's Diaries" lmao
Why is this spin off the best thing I've never seen?
Cause passion! Lol
If it's gonna span different times of their lives, they should call the prequel "The Genovia Diaries." 😁
You’re right that’s a good point lol
I have always wanted a diary like Mia's. Or like the one in Barbie Diaries where you just wave a charm bracelet over the diary to unlock it.
20:16 In the first book she told Mia that they need to work on her inability to say no to people (specifically her grandma) and Mia just kept thinking 'I'm saying no to her right now'. Lily was annoyed with her for not working on her "expose" over the Ho's - a couple who run a Chinese takeaway place near the school. She did a segment for them on her show 'Lily Tells It Like It Is' and called for a boycott on them on the grounds that they were racist against non-Asians. Her reason? Someone she knew from school ordered the same thing she did but she was charged 5 cents more, and Mrs Ho pretended not to understand English that well when Lily asked her about it. Lily said, both in private to Mia and on her tv show, that 5 cent extra charging is how things like the Holocaust and other examples of genocide start. I'm still just thinking 'You're seriously saying that being charged 5 cents extra for some takeaway is the same as some of the greatest atrocities committed in human history?'
Michael reckoned it was just "vanity run amok".
She tried to stage a protest in school because she got a bad mark for a paper she wrote on the social hierarchy of the school (from what I remember it wasn't that well written and Mia's topic on the moral dilemma of chopping down trees for Christmas does sound more interesting) and pressured Mia to take part in it even though Mia couldn't afford to skip that class, and Mia ended up pulling the fire alarm because she got so stressed about it.
She had a boyfriend in the first few books called Boris but she dumped him for someone else, then dumped the other guy for selling his life story to a tv channel, then when Boris started dating another friend of hers and Mias she accused that friend of 'stealing her man'.
And when a guy she had a crush on started going out with Mia (after she and Michael had broken up for a bit though it turns out this new guy was only with her because she was a princess) and told Lily to get off Mia's back she started a website called 'ihatemiathemopolis' and when one of her friends called her out on it she laughed and told her 'don't be such a Mia'.
Lily is kind of a lousy friend and I don't think she's that good of a person either.
I hated Lilly soo much in todays world she would be a Karen
Yep Lilly is the worst and I think Mia puts up with her b/c of michael or they wouldn't be frieneds
the impact the princess diaries movies(especially this one)has on my life and my childhood, I wish I was exaggerating, I can quote it from beginning to end, so I only watch it by myself. I remember coming home from school every day for weeks straight an watching it 3x. Anne is just so beautiful and Julie ✋ don’t even get me started this comment is already to long
It’s such an amazing movie, we totally understand the urge to watch it on repeat! Lol
That last musical sequence was so cute and RIZZO’S DANCE WAS SO CUTE 😂
12:47 michael is not only robert schwartzmann’s brother, but he was also the lead singer of one of my favorite bands around this time - rooney. the song they’re playing in the garage in this scene is rooney’s song “blueside.” they were an awesome band!!! highly recommend giving them a listen!
I would pay to see you guys go through princess training!
Benji would love that!!
The I'm super girl song by Krystal Harris was lit when I thirteen I would play it all the time. I love the ost. ☺️
For sure!!!
Recently found out that the Baroness (creepy-looking, salty lady that wanted Mia's princess title) played the Nun in the Conjuring universe....so she definitely had it in her, knew I recognized that face & ran to imdb it.
Also Michael>>Josh but it took years for me to see that cuz I was obsessed with EVD since Brink😂😂 Loved this reaction, keep killin' it!
I thought of a new title for the Joe prequel: “The Journals of Joe”. What do you guys think? If you like it, you guys can have it when you develop the show. This reaction made both my sister and I laugh so hard!
So glad you liked it, and we appreciate the title help 😁😁
Rizzo: "Wait! This was produced by Whitney Houston?"
Benji (laughs): "NO! That's impossible!"
Me: Should we tell them?? 😆😜
why was she producing the best movies omg
Such fol-de-rol and fiddle dee-dee of course is impossible!
She was an artist genius.
She also produced The Cheetah Girls!
I loved the VHS version because the music video at the end! The fact that you guys mentioned it took me BACK! 😂😂
One of the best things about the vhs 😂
Call Me Joe is the next gritty reboot I didn't know I needed.
Lilly exemplifies the NLOG (Not Like Other Girls) Character. Also, she’s the ‘woke’ girl everyone loves to hate (not that belittling her is justified, just critique).
Whoa Mia being bi seems plausible to me in this rewatch
- Joe saying oh you're like Eleanor Roosevelt when he quotes her. Eleanor was gay
- Paolo's "I didn't mean to out you so to speak"
Hmmmmm even if they didn't intend it, it does give a little bit of a queer story. Finding out something new about yourself that makes people have a lot of opinions about you and how you should be. Plus the stuff I mentioned above.
Did you know that during then state dinner and Mia loses some of her dinner, the footman says "it happens all the time" is an easter egg from pretty woman when she lost the snail/escargot. The waiter says the same thing. AND....its the same actor!
I need this prequel show in my life sooo badly
Idk why I didn’t see this before! But on my 82nd time checking today to see if your Bridgerton reactions have started, I did 😆 love it!
Guys, what if the prequel was actually written by Mr. Robitussin? And then it's revealed in the season finale that that's the story he was working on in the film.....
😂😂😂 tooo good!!
Spin off title: Disney plus presents, the princess diary's entry, Joe-novia haha
Cause it is like Joe plus novia (girlfriend in spanish) and also sounds like Genovia haha... or is that too much haha
😂😂😂 Yesssss!
When Rizo started "singing" my first thought was the annoying monkey from the animated Jungle Book interrupting King Louie's song
i’m literally obsessed with this prequel. i need it immediately.
🙌🙌
“We need to watch more movies with Sandra Oh”
Have you guys seen Under the Tuscan Sun? Please please watch it 🙏💖
This is the best one yet, we need the prequel. I’ve never laughed so hard in awhile.
One of my favourite lines was: “It’s bigger than orthodontia.”
Can you guys convince Disney to make this Princess Diaries spinoff? I want to watch it now! 😂😂😂😂
@1:07 I was so obsessed with Krystal Harris who sings the song, Super Girl! She also had a song and guest starring role in The Country Bears (another Disney movie I really enjoyed as a kid). Her voice is incredible!
Wow I didn’t know that! My little brother watched that movie alot! Lol
I also think she looked fine before the makeover, I actually prefer the before look but then growing up I wanted to look like Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves movie.
As youthful looking as Julia Andrews is in this film she was already in her mid 60's I think?
I love that you had the Genovian national anthem playing in the background during the intro lol this reaction is already off to a great start!
rizzo spin dancing is my favorite part of this, because who among us hasnt done that when watching this movie.
😂😂 it’s contagious
THIS PREQUEL NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!
I'm OBSESSED!
I'm not sure if you're thinking of The Parent Trap or A Cinderella Story when you sing "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)" at the end of the video, but I would LOVE a reaction to both!! These late 90's/early 2000's reactions are everything. Love the videos! 🤗
Both AMAZING movies!
I love this movie so much but now I can't listen to Julie Andrews's voice without thinking about Lady Whistledown💀
P.S: You guys should watch Turning Red🥺💞
As much as I love the prequel idea for, "Call Me Joe," the Queen wasn't born into the royal family of Genovia. She married the King. She explains that she's basically a figurehead because she wasn't born royal but Mia, because she was, can actually rule. It's a weird detail that I'm not sure why they added in the movie as it doesn't really add anything to the story. Maybe Joe fell in love with Clarice when King Rupert was searching for a suitable bride sort of like how Mia searches in the second movie? He's running background checks and falls in love with her because of what he sees and, along with Paolo, tries to steer the King towards another eligible woman but King Rupert doesn't care for how Paolo makes her up for him and he chooses Clarice.
Yea we missed that but that would explain why Clarisse had to give up the throne when Mia was old enough not after her death
The energy of the first two minutes is so Bert and Ernie, it’s charming as hell. Really good editing job to bring that forward, too.
Killing eve is so good. Sandra Oh is the main character and there is gayness and murder because Sandra's character is hunting down a serial killer.
We’ve recently started it, it’s so good!
25:44 The "It Happens All the Time" Man was a Character in Pretty Woman who said the same line in that movie. He's also in the Princess Diaries sequel 🎉Fun Fact!
I got that Whitney Houston reference 🤩
(She really was doing the damn thing at Disney, huh?)
WERKING!!
You NEED to react to Saved! The hatred Mandy Moore will incite in you will be binge worthy. If anything, Susan Sarandon's daughter screaming about her "muffin shop," and her dirty "speaking in tongues" fit is worth it regardless.
Love your reactions!!!
Y'all would love Outlander!
Please make this your next series
You might have umm... thoughts... about the end of S1...😕
I keep watching this video just to enjoy Rizzo & Benji developing all the little story details for Call Me Joe on-the-fly… and Rizzo crying 😭 over an imaginary prequel that only exists in their hearts!!
This much investment in an imaginary prequel is praise alone for the storytelling results of The Princess Diaries.
The Princess Diaries… and The Joe Journals. 📓
“Genovia will cease to exist”
Benji: “that’s not how a monarchy works”
Rizzo: “IT WILL CEASE TO EXIST” 😂
I think Clarisse looked for Mia because there wasn't a direct Renaldi heir after her son died. Clarisse implied that she married into the Renaldi line. She was regent until Mia came of age. This also implies either Clarisse met Joe during her engagement or they were childhood friends and Joe became security to follow Clarisse. Clarisse and the King were implied to be best friends. But she loved Joe.
I read on Internet and in the book, the father is still alive but had a testicles' cancer who made him infertile.
But yes, in the movie, Mia is the only direct heir
I would love to see y'all do a Pretty Woman review (by the same director) :)
I’m so happy that I’m not the only who imagined a prequel with Joe and Clarisse. I loved every little detail you came up with, I’d watch the hell out that! :) I also totally teared up at your season 2 idea, what a gut punch. Brilliant!!
This movie is iconic! And the sequel is a masterpiece!! Love this reaction!!
The fact that you said Erik von Detten from Leave It To Beaver and not Brink is...insane.
The guy who plays Michael is also a) a Coppola, b) specifically Talia Shire’s son, and c) the lead singer of the band Rooney
I don't understand how ya'll thought Josh was cute. My first thought while rewatching this film was that he looked like Oli London 😭
I hesitated to watch this. I don't know why. You guys are geniuses. This has just become my favorite reaction video. This is Mystery Science Theater 3000 worthy. AND You just wrote a better series off the cuff than Disney is doing right now with Star Wars. The Acolyte? Seriously? "Call Me Joe" (working title) is so much better than anything I have heard for a long time.
So obsessed with the Kili/Tauriel clip! That one still hurts! Love that you know it! Also I really need a fanfic writer to make a “Call Me Joe” fic
The Iconic queen Julie Andrews she is a ethereal goddess
Your prequel ideas gave me so much joy and I must mention how good the editing was in this video, it added a lot to it.
given this love for Garry Marshall in this movie, I quasi-demand a reaction for Runaway Bride. Throwin' my hat in
9:50 nah, it’s actually pretty similar to the laws for the monarchy of the Grimaldis ruling Monaco.
If there is no direct heir of the Monégasque Throne the whole country of Monaco will be no longer a independent nation and becomes automatically a part of France
EDIT: they changed the law in 2002, two years after the movie was made and one Year after the premiere in cinemas
That’s a lot of pressure for that family 🙃🙃
Her big-screen debut came with The Princess Diaries (2001), in which she played Mia Thermopolis, a klutzy teenager who discovers that she is heir to a royal throne
I was right there with Benji quoting every line 😂. Honestly, I think you could sell that show to Disney, I’d watch it! Also you have to mention all of the nepotism in Gary Marshall’s films! It’s honestly ridiculous. Also all hail Queen Meg Cabot, the author who gave us this masterpiece. I used to read all her books and this movie still hits 2 decades later 🙏🏾
Did anyone mention that they showed a picture of Angela Lansbury at the beginning when they mention Julie Andrews?
Finally someone calls out the movie surfer scene, I vividly remember that episode! She’s also the mean girl in Zenon!
I need you two to write the fan fiction as a book or graphic novel. This is gold!
Omg. I love you guys. This was my all time favorite movie as a kid
The way I NEED this Princess Diaries prequel omg
Never thought two men spinning would bring me so much joy! Love you two 🙂
😂😂 thank you, it felt nice too 🥰
In the early years of cable TV the cable companies provided "community access channels". Usually they broadcast school board meetings and local candidate interviews etc.. But random people could sign up for certain unscheduled times.....like the two guys on SNL (played by Dana Carvey and Mike Meyers) who broadast "Wayne's World" from their basement.
Ooooohhhh!! Thank you!! Hahah
This was a great reaction, I felt like I was watching/ reciting my favourite film with my best friends!
Yes! So glad to hear that 🥰
I just discovered this channel yesterday and I'm in love. Currently binge watching as much as I can lol!!
Yay! Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying 😊😊
Prince Philippe’s Letter to Mia was just so beautiful. It hits you right in the FEELZ ♥️
Oh my god guys I would be so down for your prequel. Please!
This is one of my FAVORITE movies of all time. Thank you for the reaction.
Sidenote: I was more interested hearing your ideas for the prequal tv series. 😂 Disney+ MAKE THIS HAPPEN! 😂
🙌🙌🙌 thank you! Lol
Ngl Julie Andrews and Hector Elizondo made such a cool pairing. So cute 👏🏽
Sandra Oh just voiced the mom character in Pixar’s new movie Turning Red!! Please watch it! Sooooo cute 😄
I would sell my soul to get that spin-off. I wish I were joking, but I'm dead serious lmao
This might be my favorite PD reaction because I can just feel that you guys love this movie as much as I do😌
So amazing 🥰🥰
