Wait a second, Amy Sugarman. Wait, you guys misspelling and I are dressed for prom and you are not was and we know she got the memo because we all three talked about it, and so yeah, this is not fair. Wait, Tori is dressed like a rock, like an eighties rock goddess for prom. You guys look amazing.

This close is a homage I could get to the black dress I had and and the hair do I don't know. I saw it needs to be up. But you know I hate my hair up and this is a little bit of an homage to your first wedding. Do it needs to be more like straight up and down though, yeah, like to do. But I wish i'd listen to you. This is my I'm wearing my This is one of my daughter's dresses out of her closet. It's the only thing I could find. It looks like

a prom, looks like something Brenda might wear. Kelly, I think, yeah, I think Kelly. I did this uh French twist as a like sort of a tribute to our hair stylist. While because I remember we would I would say, can you just give me like an updue, like something cute, like an updude, and they would always give us a French twist that'd be I never got that such twist. I had it all the time, and I used to say, wait, have it in this episode? Yeah, I said, used to say, wait, no,

I don't like it. It looks like a sharp past. But it's that's the only way I could describe it. Like. It looks like a like a but a hole of a sharp pay That makes the perfect visual. Thank you listening. Wait and she still looks good years later. This episode is probably one of the best of all time. Amy, do you text us? Didn't you say? I had to watch it twice? It was twice did I literally ordered Chinese food and I didn't because you know, we take

notes and we have to do like work things. I sat back to my Chinese food and watched it all the way through once, no papers, no pens, just loving my life, and then I immediately literally hit restart and watch it again and took my notes. I love that it is iconic. Tory Bravo like Bravo yours is so good in this episode. I love it when you play drunk,

You're like, like, it's so cute. There are two things in this episode that, for some reason I will never not have, Like a polaroid picture Donna drunk dancing with her hands over her head and then she like touches her boobs and she's just all drunk. And for some reason, Jason slashed Brandon when he goes into the prom and does that, he goes head move like it's like I've

seen it every day. Eddie says good night. Remember used to say that all the time, And we saw that and heard that every day, So yes, we know what you're talking about. What I think? What did you guys? Thun? I loved it. I loved it. I loved everything I could have watched. This could have been a two parter. Well it kind of will it is. I get in trouble, Oh my god, and he kisses the forehead, kisses your forehead. It's not gonna be okay. I agree. I could have

watched two hours. I could have watched every single scene, double in length, Andrea and Brandon in the bedroom, the party at malls, the vomiting and the toilet, the drunk, every dancing, every single thing. I could have watched versions of each scene completely. Yeah. In case you guys don't know what we're talking about, we are talking about episode twenty seven of season three, A Night to Remember. It aired April n Give us a synopsis, Donna synopsis. Brenda

and Brandon are dateless for the senior prom. School announcement is made to any student caught at senior problem drinking, intoxicated, or with illicit drugs will be suspended from school and from gradually. Waiting footballer Tony Miller asked Brenda prom on the day of the event, and Andrea asked Brandon at the last moment after her date, Jordan Bonner gets ill, Steve takes Celeste London. Steve takes celesque Lundy, while Dylan naturally goes with Kelly. Donna doesn't eat all day. Good

scroll up. Sorry, Uh, this is the longest synopsis I've ever read. Uh damn it. Okay, Donna doesn't eat all day so that she will fit into her prom dress. She is hit harder by pre prom champagne than the rest of the gang, appears to be drunk it prom and ends up collapsing in front. Directed by Richard Lang, written by Steve Westerman and Jessica Klein. Oh, that's also why it was so. It was written by like your

best writers. So good, it was so. I love the way the episode starts out on the old time e prom. I love that. I wanted to go to that prom. Yes, why did they do that? Though it was rammed it made no sense, but I loved that for our show. But I loved it so good. I wanted to go to that slow fade into the high school. Yeah, for no reason. So first, just give me like your gut reactions five words that your your feels about it. Fashion, makeup and hair. Fun. I wanted to be there. I

wanted to be in that limo. It looks so fun. Uh do you remember it being fun party? Like when you were shooting it, Like, were you guys enjoyed? I do? I remember being like a special you know, everybody was dressed up, and I remember it seems like that when everybody's dressed up and and you kind of come out of hair and makeup or you're dressing room one by one and everybody gets a good look at you for the first time. They're like, oh wow, wow, it's fun.

It was. Did you get any input in your dresses? I mean, I don't know what. What did you say, give me the tightest possible dress there ever was made? I don't know, but I got I felt like the whole look in general was kind of not Donna, but that's why I loved it. Like the strapless long dressing usually she were short and like it was long but strapless. And then the hair, and then the makeup like smoky eyes but light like nude lips, kind of what's in now.

It like wasn't very like what you would wear at the time. And then they like the curls hair. I don't know. That's it's one of my favorite outfits on her, even though I can't imagine I wasn't a little uncomfortable with the big hair and light lips and I don't know, but well you you're you kind of looked different than normal, and so did Brenda. Brenda's look at Prome was like wait, record scratch, like what, I gotta be honest. I remember not loving it then, and I remember not loving it now.

You remember that loving it now? From left the metallic I love the dress, met the dress. I love dress look right on her and like a good love. I feel like you wore a similar dress to the gold globe boards. I feel like Kelly's was met. That's how I felt about it. But do you know what I mean when I'm talking about it's a little sparkly, but yours is more of a like Beijie sparkle dress. I love to look it up. It's very similar. It look better on you. But you know, Donna, we're we gotta

go back to Kelly's effeto for a second. Yeah, I felt like you looked beautiful, but I wish the dress was more. I wish it was very It felt like oh, we've seen this look before. Yeah, I thought so, but I loved it. Do you think that was intentional though, because Donna really steals the night. I mean, she's a show stopper. And then the focus is then Donna's drunk. She ruined everybody's prom. Yeah, you ruined the prom. Oh my god, if you're Shennanigans, yeah, you ruined the night.

To remember, I'm mad at you. It's okay, You've been there many other nights that I've ruined by doing the exact same thing. I heard. Donna's dress was so conducive to the drunkenness because it's so tight, it's low, she's kind of drunk pulling it up. Like I feel like the dress was just perfect and it worked. Yeah, it was stunning, Like you look so epic. But they know too, made that dresser where we can find it. That's one

dress I would love, Oh my gosh. Did The only thing is I didn't understand the way your mom made such a hoop law about the dress code at the town meeting or whatever, and then she and then she let me walk out of the house in a skin tight, booby up thing. There's no movies because I had no movies at that, but they were pushed up. They were like I didn't get it, Like why she didn't was the dress code? What? I don't know? She decided against it. I guess what was the whole point about the dress code?

Just so they could then have like one thing before they went into and anyone found it a prom drinking? Is that the only reason? Or maybe to established Felice as being kind of like a stick in the mud about I guess it wouldn't made more sense if Donna like left the house like covered and then took it off like I used to do in real life. Wait it stopped? Are you serious? Yeah? Wait? Is that what

everyone does? Like like strapless skin type stuff, like a little tiny bear thing like this, But then you go out of the house with like a button up shirt and a cardigan or a flannel and like something more. They take it off when you get out, said, my kids wear a hoodie out and then they take it off and there their their top is cropped and their pants are rolled down, and I'm like, wait, like I don't know what's happening. Hello, right, you're like been there,

I was, Kelly Taylor, I've done it all. Thanks you Okay, I mean just so much to talk about. But since you're bringing up Kelly Taylor, can we talk about the strawberry eatings. Oh my god, Dylan and Kelly on the couch all like cute. That is the messiest strawberries. That was the first time I was like, oh, I see Kelly and Dylan that I like now like I see them, I see them why they're together this This was like a moment for me to be like, oh, now they're

back and it feels right again. Natural scene, like you're like, oh, I could see this happening in real life with two people like it was. I don't think anyone else could have done that scene. So it's the two of you, Like that was such an intimate scene. Yeah, and he looks so stink and cute in that scene. Thanks. I love a good kissing scene when there's food involved. I've got to be honest, like, those are my favorite kind of kissing really. Oh yes, because you're eating something and

then you're making it's just good. Well unless it's like me, Yeah, it would be kind of be like fruity or sweet. I was gonna say best product placement for a bowl of strawberries it was fun. It was fun, and I love the talk of the trip to San Francisco. Actually was like, oh, I wish we would have followed them. I know that would have been fun to see, so that there are they flying private. I was really curious, like, is gonna get a plane or something? It sounds so

pretty woman and romantic. I like it got a lot of millions right now. But I did like it. The Kelly's eating a lot in this episode, Like I felt like there was a couple of times we see her eating and not having like mental issues with it, So I was happy for her. That's true. She ate it Magic Mountain of the Week before. She wanted cotton candy. Yeah,

I think it's going well. She's getting back. I think Jenny are really onto something about Kelly and Dylan in this episode, because when they're dancing at the prom, it really feels right. And even though Brenda kind of looks longingly and Tony sort of, you know, brings her back, it was not the same feeling I had when Dylan and Brenda have their dance. Yeah, I felt like there was. They did a good job of sort of separating that

with the writing but also with the acting. And the way that Luke and Shannon did that scene, it felt like it was over for them, especially on Luke's side. I really felt like I felt like he was being respectful of his new relationship and that was a nice, uh way to do it. Yeah, I can. I feel like I can't even picture them together anymore. No, like it's already gone, way gone. So I have one plot hole, you have another plot hole. We gotta get your plot hole.

Where did Celeste come from? Last I thought is that she's the dream girl. I mean, I know who she is, I know he they won the dating competition, Oh my god, and they go on the date. But I thought the last thing was she hadn't called or something, they hadn't seen each other, and then all of a sudden, she's the date to the prom. I thought it was one of those moments where you know, sometimes when I'm bored with a scene, I fast forward, which I have it in two episodes, by the way, not once, but I

was like the same thing. I was like, shoot, what did I miss? Celest just here just shows up with that bad hair do. I didn't like that the hair have the same feeling that I thought, did something cuts give something, did you shoot something? And it had to get cut for time because it felt like they had this connection, a great connection from the game show. But then we hear her Steve say like, she hasn't called me, and then he's flirting with Ginger, and then all of

a sudden, she's the prom date. Like they they're completely together. They're like, was there a scene where he called an asked her like not what? Oh? I must have been so mad. So you didn't like her hair? I didn't like her hair, but my French, my French twist is giving me a headache. Oh, no, take it down if you need to take it down. But she's lovely. I need you to take your glasses off solely first, and then in your hair. I did it. I did it,

like like sorry, Okay, she's lovely. Jennifer Grant and I thought that was very sweet moment and kind of important when Kelly meets Celeste, and then also when Celeste says, I'm going to go to the bathroom and powder mind nose or whatever she says, so that encouraging Steve, like, look, have a moment with Kelly. That's important, that's part of the circle of your high school journey. Yeah. I love that scene too with Kelly and Steve because you just

get such like there are so much history. You feel it like they have such a connection. And I've always felt that with Iron, but I really see it so clear in that in that scene. We just love each other and you can tell I love their relationship. I wish there was like a rewind scene flashbacks together. You know, their body language is very cute to the way you get real close to him about it being like inappropriate, familiar, uncomfortable. Yeah, oh,

I have a question. Um. Well, first of all, you know when um, in the very beginning, when David is telling you he got the room for you guys at the Bellage, Um, he said, but no is it? He said, you said prom nite was our night, a night to remember. Mm hmm. It's like she said that you did you say that promnite is going to be our night. No, they just wanted to get the title, the title of the episode in there because then it is a night to remember. But in the opposite way, and he gets no,

what do you call it? Nookie? H that nookie the mention of the complimentary fruit basket, Like what, dude? What? Well? He is Mel's a son? I don't know. I felt like it was like a super male thing to say. Did anybody notice that when Brandon and Andrea go to the room, there is a complimentary hot nuity. It's there, I care with the room? What? Yeah? What do you mean that happens if whenever you go to the Bellage

they give you fruit in a basket. But wait, we did not film at the Bloge Correct they didn't have a ball room. No way. Did we not film it at downtown at the Bond Venture No way? God, I have no idea been making Shenanigans up here? I was drunk. I don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember. I did air quotes by the way for it. Wait are you still white? Leave me alone? I just realized you're still on vacation. I'm coming back tonight. Lies anyways, Sorry, Just be proud

that I found prompt here here and I am very resourceful. Okay, what about when talking about what about when James says, when he's telling his story about when he went to the problem, that was super cute, and he said that he was he took this prom date in the station wagon. I liked that. Want to Cindy scene. Huh okay, I lied. I did fast forward one scene in Oh My God, you didn't hear he went to prom in his station wagon,

which made me love me more. Well, yeah, weed smoked weed, and then he goes and then Brandon says, but you didn't Inhale, right Dad? And that made me think, oh, this is so like um hot topic at that point, because that was the same this aired in in Is when Bill Clinton said that he had smoked pot in high school but didn't Inhale. It was a little like, you know, piculture moment and uh, do you think just

added that probably would be funny if he did. And Mrs Walsh's prom day, she's looking at read her high school yearbook and then Jim mentions like, oh, he's a dork at the reunion or whatever. It's pretty cute. It's pretty cute. But he when you talked about going to the prom in station wage, and it made me remember what car did you take to prom? Do you guys remember? Do you take a limo? H Like, I went with a group and we took what did you go to

prom in your senior year? Senior year? So it was and just j your senior year, Amy, did you went to m junior prom? To and ninety two? I didn't go. I was out of school. I left school when I was a sophomore. So I, thank goodness, went to my prom as a freshman with my senior boyfriend. What excuse me? Who was that? But we didn't go in a limo. We went. I remember this. My cousin, Dammy drove a sports car. And um, my boyfriend his name is Danny,

Danny Wheeler. If you're out there, Oh my god, Danny Wheeler, Danny Wheeler, somebody find Danny Wheeler. Wait, so what sports car Danny had? Like a Danny had like a low rider v W like a bug but like like all pimped out like a low rider. And then so that wasn't really cool to go to prom. And so we asked my cousin if we could borrow her r X seven color. It was like copper, like a like a brown r X seven. I thought we were so cool driving in a sports car. They go in the porch.

They didn't go in the limo. No, Yeah, people to go to this prom. So you were fifteen, I guess, so maybe yeah? And was he We'll say he's seventeen. Yeah, what time was this in what town in? Uh? It was in Phoenix, Arizona. Oh my goodness, wow, yeah, yeah, did you get don't even ask you that. My mom listened to be you guys stopped. Oh my gosh, Sorry, it was not a night to remember. There was just

a complimentary fruit basket. Sorry, question I did. My dress was homemade too, so we went in a borrowed car. I think my experience was a little different than yours. Toore. We went in a borrowed car, and my dress was homemade, sewn by your mom. I think my mom had her friend help us with it. Oh my gosh, were you acting? Were you working then? Were you acting then? Not quite yet? No, because I that was my freshman year and then I dropped out when I was a sophomore, and that's when

I started acting. Did that? Did you do a prompt photo like a POS? Was the post picture? Yes? I did? Why? Yes? I did. We got to talk about that. But wait, Tori, tell tell everyone how did you go to prom? Here did you go with? So? I went to prom with my first boyfriend, Ryan Ozar, who Jen has met Chap. He was nice, glad, really like nice, nice guy. Um and I, oh god, poor Ryan. Yes, we went to prom together. He was great and super nice. It was not a night to remember. I was still a virgin.

We didn't we didn't do anything. Um. But I ended up breaking his heart and broke up with him because I thought Brian and I were going to go somewhere. Wait at the prom. No, no, not the prom. We went to prom together. We were happy, and then the summer after problem we're happy. Wait, we're happy. And I had a dressed made to look like the red dress Julia Roberts wears a pretty woman the rests when he puts out the thing and snaps her hand, she laughs.

But hers was long. It looks exactly like that. But hers was long and mine was short. Oh my god, No way is there a picture. I have to find a picture. There's a picture. I want to see it. The difference between the way Tories dress was made and the way Jenny's dress was made, I'm gonna say maybe slightly different. My dress was made by Nolan Miller, who did like all the like Dynasty designs are like huge

wardrobe like. My dress was made on the kitchen table by Aunt Sandy Listen and my prom was at downtown the Bonaventure where I think we filmed this, or maybe it was spring Dance, but we did film something there. Can you imagine Amy having Nolan Miller just on hand to like, uh, can you make me this dress? I wanted to look like Julia Roberts. Yeah, uncle Nolan, can you please make this? Oh my god? Is this the West Like prom? The Marlborough Prom, Mary Mount Prom? Where'd

you go to high school? It was, well, it was West Like school for girls at the time. I was the last all girl graduating class. But everyone knows it. It's hard Harvard Westlake now so yes, So did the girls have to ask boys because you're an all girls? Yes? Oh Danny Wheeler ask you Jenny obviously. Yeah, but I don't remember because we were like boyfriend and girlfriends, so they didn't do that promposal nonsense in our days. That stuff's crazy. Okay, Wait, so back on track. Talk about

Kathy Dennis. Kathy Dennis her not her big hit, No, because what's the there's a big hit? Too many walls have been built in between us walls. That's Kathy Dennis's big hit happened. There's another one round that was her, jam dude, but there was one more me? Look like that was at YOUTUBEI Kathy Dennis last night, you guys, because I sure was, but I feel like it was like womp wamp. Well. I guess if you watch it now, you're like, who's that? I guess at the time everyone

was like, whoa Kathy Dennis is kind of a thing. Yeah, yeah, but I feel it wasn't very exciting. Yeah, too many problems, boring. There wasn't even any good decorations for our problems. Never heard that before. My wife, what are you talking about? This was her? Okay, okay, Amy, I did not get that song singing that did not You're usually on point, but wait, wasn't there another one? I loved the prom, Jenny, you didn't. I could have been at that prom forever.

I love the jokes about the con There have been like decorations and stuff and like streamers and disco ball, Like there was no fifties. It wasn't fifties up for proms. Hello, one plus one equals three from the Math Club. Comedy from the Math Club. You guys got those yellow Kodak cameras. There's all the tables, Mrs Teasley looking beautiful. She did look beautiful. It was strutting her stuff with Bil Meyers.

M h. Myers is grossing me out. I don't know just now, like we just started grossing out because for some reason, I remember in my mind frozen back then that he was like I remember stepping like, oh, I'm not like respectfully hot for him, but I remember him being like, oh he's cute. He's good looking guy. And now when I watch him, I'm like, what because he's a teacher. It's just weird, is I swear? Kathy Dann has had one more song that was like even bigger

Prob did. But let's talk about the pictures. The pictures were so good cute because I feel like they were all just like naturally the way they got them and like the funniest, awkwardest moments. That's a very cute bit like I'm not gonna lie, it's really clever. Who ever wrote that? In the phreeze frame yep, and the you know, Brenda and Tony get closer Dylan, then Kelly Camp stopped making out. Donna's like a little drunk. Brandon and Andrea Okay, wait,

let's talk about them. Let's just first of all when in the peach pit when Jordan's comes to see Andrea, what is he wearing? I assumed it was some parallel to that man criticizing a Rastafarian shirt because it, oh, that was my Why would he have a parallel to that? Though, that makes no sense, Like if that was the case, it doesn't make any sense because it wasn't Postafarian colors. Yeah,

I think you're right, but it was so jarring. I didn't call it back to that, and I was just like he was wearing yeah, Like I don't even know what that was. It was. It was I had to rewind to look at it. I wonder if was that his choice or did they make him where that They're definitely doing me something there with the with the dress code almost not appropriate if I'm gonna go there, Yeah, yeah, and then Andrea Okay, so then Andrea goes to the prom. Well wait, can we go back when you go back

to dates? Okay? I just find it very hard to believe that Brandon Walsh doesn't have a date, especially since we spent the entire first season with the New Kid in Beverly Hills and he was just like every girl, like everywhere he looked, there was a girl, and it always worked out. And now suddenly two seasons later, he can't get a date, can't get a senior. Second hottest guy in school doesn't have a second. I don't believe that. No other girl in school was like, hey, Brandon Walsh

will be my date. I don't even you really think he was the second hottest, Like that's his title, that's her opinion. Well, if that was your opinion, it Standrews would be your number one. I love Steve, but he's not the second hottest. It goes Luke Brandon. Brandon really cute in this episode, though, Why is everyone calling him Brendan? Two times Steve calls him Brendon and Mrs Walsh calls

him Brendon. I refuse to believe that blind it what lash it twice and I was like, what the I love you always called her Mrs Walsh and it's not Cindy. It's like it floors me. It's like to high school. I have to respect the elders sometimes. Sometimes Cindy Walsh has an inflection when she talks very precisely. Are you sure it wasn't that? Like she went to say Brandon to Brandon. I would like other people to weigh in on this because to me, I heard Brendan twice and

then I also a moment Brenda and Brandon. But why didn't they name him Brendan? Because if they were going for that sort of sicky thing, why not Brenda and Brendan? Was that like a joke going around? How? Like you know, like when a couple stating it becomes like benefit or like, so the twins it was just like a joke. It was Brendan, both of them, like, give me a break. That's I don't know. I thought it was funny that the parents thought that maybe he should take his sister.

I would have loved that. So to little trivia here. So you know when we go into the scene where they're in the newsroom, you know the whatever, the the journalism paper room, whatever it's called. That is. So we meet Toby played by T. C. Warner, and we meet that is Sean Leavy who went on to be like a prolific director. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Do you know the scene? Yes? And TC? The girl TC.

Wasn't that her name? TC something? Yes, that's right. So she plays Obie and they go to be like they keep going. Those are characters we see again and again. Okay, and he dates somebody? Does he not date? Does he date? And Drean? Now IM not too sure on that, but what is notable is that is the producer of Stranger Things, Like he's freaking major. Wait that's him? Yes? So yeah you should have because this is what he looks like. Now are you getting the vibe? Yeah? I thought he

was cute back then. I remember seeing him. I wasn't the scenes with him, but I always thought he was cute. If you can't get out there, Sean Leavy, Yeah, he's freaking making direct hit, big fat liar, just Mary, Cheaper by the Does and the Pink Panther Night at the Museum, Date Night. What the heck? Dude, this guy is freaking Majer was his major, and then he is the executive producer on the Netflix series Stranger Things. That's him. He directed that movie, Um, the Adam Free Guy. You know

that Ryan Reynolds. Yes, but he went on to act in other things before that, right, correct? Correct, because he looks familiar from other things, like on camera? Whoa do you think we can't get him on the show? I sure, asked, and like they just hasn't said no. It's a little bit no, nobody said no yet. But he's a little busy because he literally is like I don't know, for people listening, it's like if you were like Steven Spielberg, like he's that I got, like he's like the young

he is major. Didn't he wear like a cap backwards sometimes like a not a brave but like a He's definitely more episodes and wait, she went on to act in more things. Yeah, I wanted to look her up because she familiar. She's going to come on with us for sure. So those two characters, obviously they're like suddenly they're they're a little bit younger, right, are they supposed to go on? Was this another spin off that was

in mind? I don't know, because I'm assuming at this point because they like aged up David, that they gave up on that. Yeah, TC Warner, she plays Toby. But they're in many more episodes. Correct, Well, there's only there. I know there's there at least in another one. I

know that they're I think they're definitely in Donna Martin Graduates. Yeah, yeah, you're right, okay man, question, Yeah, is it only me or was there, Like everybody has a very casual attitude toward drinking, meaning not even Donna because we'll get into that, but like y'all the parents are giving the champagne. No no, no,

not the parents. Mal Mail is giving. But Andandrea is like, I don't really like champagne, Like she's like a wine connoisseuran, you know what I mean, Like like I don't drink because I don't want to get busted and not graduate. I don't really like champagne because I I'm more of that was just there so could drink the rest of hers, right. Yeah.

It was very nonchalant about the alcohol, which was weird because the whole episode had been saying if you drink, you're gonna get in trouble, and then they all just disregard that completely and it's like they hold their alcohol except for for Donna. Okay, but call on you guys. Let's I mean go back to prom, especially senior prom.

Like everyone drank a little again. Everybody was wasted, like because but because they drink, like they've drank for years, but this is there should be there, like you know, you know, bath champagne, like your kids got breathalyzed. I'm sure when they went to prom. Yeah, yeah, you have to blow in something. Now, Am I making this up? I hope not. I never heard that, not not no, not not in l A. I think a lot of schools breathalyzed. Maybe it's just like a northern California thing.

I don't know. I haven't heard. I haven't gotten to that point in the program. I haven't heard of that. Wait, so can you imagine having to blow into a breathalyzer before you go to prom? So they after party? They allowed me a violation of my rights. Yeah, I'm calling somewhere West Beverly. Damn. Can we talk about my favorite scene in the whole thing of Donna Martin's head so far down in a toilet, so far into the toilet,

like in the toilet. And I don't want to be like an expert, but I'm assuming you did your scripts there in a d R because it felt like you're all down in the toilet. They're shooting it from above and then we hear you all. But I'm assuming you did that. Later it sounded a little loop, yeah right, But I was like, oh my god, her head is in the toilet. Yeah, he was definitely all right, okay, all right, but go back a little bit too, when Donna is getting ready for for Before, Before From when

she has her hair down. I love that sitting. Oh my god, I love it so much. You're sitting at your vanity and and we're on on you, and you're brushing your hair like one hundred times like they do in every single movie ever. And I was like, oh my god, she's living her best life right now. She's so happy to be doing what she's doing right there. Well, I got to say what I was thinking now watching that is, oh my gosh, I had so much hair.

If I just if I hadn't just bleached it too much or put extensions in, I would still have that hair. Jane had good hair and so much of it. Lesson learn, don't drink it prom and don't ever put extensions in. Don't drink it propped. I was thinking about Donna's Laura Ashley bedroom or whatever you'd call that. I mean, really a lot of flowers, you guys. It looked like my room, And honestly, I was like that, I think they did this exactly like her room room because it was ginormous

and it was all like decorated. It's all floral, like the floral dube to match, the floral headboard to match them, the floral curtains to match the floral chairches in the room, and so growing up, I had that in plum colors, which this kind of wasted that. And I remember all I wanted was when I was a kid. I mean I'm talking. I had that print when I was like ten, and I wanted was of oz and my mom later told me she fibbed, but she was like, they're out

of it for wallpaper. I'm gonna go with this, but it was very aged up for a ten year old girl. It was like plum. And then when we moved to the manor of the big house, Um, she did that one. It was all like blues and pinks and stuff and floral flora, floral floral, very decorated. But what about that necklace? Mom gave you, Oh, the biggest cross I've ever seen. This is the biggest cross. It was very cool, like

very in at the time. Yeah, yeah, I mean Donna wins the Night with the fashion, the whole thing was epic. But yeah, and the zooming in on the cross and Donna, I don't know, I don't think it's gonna work, because it's like if she wears that she cannot be a bad cookie with David Silver, either that or she word off vampires. I don't know. Probably it was big, but those close ups on you everything, Like when they pushed in, there was like so many close ups and you just

look so cute. Oh, Donna, Sweet, Sweet Donna. I kind of started to have a crush on Donna Martin in that moment. My girl crush was Donna Martin because we just were so virtuous and you wanted to be good and you look so pretty, and he brushed her. So you drink so drinking it prom I have vivid memories that before the scenes, like when they were walking out and you know, like when you're drunk, you're like your

head spinning and you can't walk straight. Um. I remember spinning right before they call action, and in my head would be like wonder woman, one woman, and I'd spin. So when they called action, everything was really spinning. And then when we did b H nine O two and oh in the first episode, I get drunk and steel the red dress and we're on the plane and right before they called that, and I was like, oh called

back to prom I did, Wonder Woman. This is an amazing listening tip for people out there if you ever have to play drunk, try spinning Wonder Woman. No, I am straight shook right now? What so you're spinning swing and then you probably did want to bar. Yeah, I could not see straight or walk straight. It really like it worked. Yeah, you played drunk very well. Thank you or I mean thank you because ultimately this episode is

so Donna because we are setting ourselves up. Okay, I don't want to get I don't want to get ahead of it because the end scene is so major. They're almost out of there is the sad so close and friends are so good. Yeah, everybody's rallying trend to. I don't know why it didn't make any sense. I I just didn't feel like when they tried to get you out of that bathroom that was ever going to work out. Like I knew that you were going to get busted. Yes,

you're out the window. Why didn't you go out the window of the bathroom or go to the back door or something to go to the l to that hotel the room and get up there. Of course, Mrs Teasley was out in the lobby. Duh, duh. We noticed that Andrea and Brandon are not they're helping because they are up in the room doing what God, okay, I'm not okay with that. What's happening up there? It feels very

very weird. I just really need for Andrea to get rid of that g D. I'm ashaw that she's carrying around the whole time, the wrap she has like placed over her arms the whole episode. She's like pluly in the with the shawl, Like, take it off, Okay, before before I find out from you guys what you think they're doing up there, can we talk about when they do Elvis? Oh? What was that? She he does like a weird elvis in persion, She does some weird voice and like, is that there? Is that what they do to?

Was that sexy talk for them? I don't know why, why were they But honestly, for a second it annoyed me. And then for a second I was like, Oh, that's getting cute. Look how cute they are together. There's two kids almost like two geeks too dork and then I thought, oh, maybe they're perfect for each other kind do we know? No? Okay, because when they're up there in that bed. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. It was weird. Are they going to hook it up? They don't, right, Well for us,

it's a mystery. Right, Hopefully we'll see you next week. I don't want them too, because then it's gonna complicate things and then it's gonna mess with her emotions, and I don't want I don't think it's ever been revealed that they had sex, so I'm assuming it didn't happen. Right. Are they awkward or cute or cringe e or cool? What are they? It's all of those things. It's that's that's it. That's it. It's all of those things. At once. I used to find them cute, but I'm not into

them anymore. I wasn't into her prom hair Dow. I just the whole thing was weird, to be honest, I felt like everybody was weird with their date except for Dylan and Killy and Don and David, Like those are the only ones that really made sense to what about Like just that it goes down in history that Tony took Brenda to the prom. I mean, shout out Michael Cudlitz, who went from being a carpenter on the set to like literally Major on the star of the show to

the prom and they had the last laugh. Then he went onto The Walking Dead. Yeah he's still working like Major, but he did it so effortlessly too cool, Like he was like like it just was like second nature for him to be that. And even when he says, are you gonna watch them all night? Because I'm here to like give you a good time, but you gotta help me a little bit show you a good time, he was. It was cute. He was cute. I would have gone to prom with him. Adorable. But it's just it's just

out of nowhere. I mean, I know he's been in a little bit bad. I don't know my plot hole on Tony. He loves them, he hates them, he's mean to them, he bullies them, he's their bestie. Like it's like because there have been episodes where he sort of as a bully to that. Yuh yeah, He's like they weren't sure where that character was going and then all of a sudden, it's like we need somebody to take out a problem. Right, this guy has been around. Where

did that come from? Did you do you feel like Shannon wade in on that was she like, that feels like something she would do. She'd be like, I'll just go with cutlets and they'd be like, what that's okay? Well write that is a major story, right, Like she had to go. Obviously she had to go. And I don't know who else could have asked her. He's the only other dude that's sort of in the mix, and he's been They've been building up to it because we know he crushes on her. We saw it in a

few episodes. Well, perhaps Burt Reynolds could have come back and taken her. I wouldn't give it. Oh my god, Rieke, where are you for the fact? Have been good cup? Other notes Mels camera like does he side hustle as a paparazzi? Like what what it's like a professional? Ginormous camera? Well it smells over he's up with the technology. I was thinking more porn, but okay, sure subtle, easy to miss funny line from Brian Austin Green when they say, oh it's the good stuff. I think it's left over

from my burm It's fun funny, funny, funny. The disposable cameras we talked about, because you know, those are making a comeback. Yes, where do you get that developed? That is what I asked, supposedly Walgreen's you take it to the drug store stuff? I guess so. And just yeah, this is like one of the most iconic best I could watch it again tonight. Love it episodes. It's gonna watch it again tonight. Whoa, I'm getting it just really took you back to like your prom, like your that

time for you in your life. And that's what's so cool about it because I think for our generations because we're all kind of different ages, but um, I feel like it's just so significant and is it like that still? Like is my kid gonna look back on her prom the same way? Yeah, that's our proms what they used to be. But for me, this was like took me not back to my prom, but to why just nine o two one h h because I was in college

when you guys went to the prom. But for me, it was like, this is nine o two and oh, this is why people freaked out when you guys showed up at malls. This is why you were on the cover of every magazine, This is why, this is why, which is why I wanted the problem to look more spectacular. It was for me, it was upsetting. The set design was not like bigger because it should have been. You know, like that moment when in foot Loose when they go to the dance, they go to the problems and it's like,

oh my god, the decorations are incredible. That's or back to the future. Yeah, that is a fair point. Oh pretty and pink, Oh yeah yeah those Yeah, I don't remember my problem looking like that. You guys, I have to take my bra off because it's just too well on that. I mean, Tori, how are you feeling about Donna's chances of graduating? You are screwed? Not feeling good about it at this moment. She's come so far. She had a learning disability and she overcame that to like

and she's such a good girl. I know. That's what makes me bummed. Isn't that so like a common on life in general, Like it's always the people that are always constantly do bad stuff and they never get nailed, and it's the good person to something once and all eyes on that. Whatever. I wonder, what's going to happen. Well, we'll have to wait and see. Because it was a Cliffinger we had a cliffhanger there was, although we had

a cliffhanger last week. The show is getting more Have you noticed that it's getting more like that what's that called? Like cereal? Like at one one episode, it's not. They're not standalone episodes anymore. Now it's like continuous. So everybody's like sucked in week. I gotta watch next week to see what happens. Like that is so smart. Oh my gosh. I was doing a deep dive the other night, just you know me on the internet, and I said, um, which seasons are like recognized as the best of nine? O?

Two and oh? And if I remember on this particular one, I think three and four we're up towards the top of the best I think I think I'm gonna have to read it again, but I definitely know that the fans, critics, fans, whoever these people were, three and four are up there. Well. Three is just really really good, really good. We're gonna have beach House. That beach House is coming soon because they're graduating. When do they move to they do they

what happens when you graduate? Like day tuned Jenny Garth to this podcast. Okay, so like next season we go to college and then we move in together, or we have our first year at home. Since we're all going to school at the same university, why don't we just try to let you graduate first girl? Okay, yeah, I gotta get there. We gotta get through that. Please, man, how how's that going to happen? Who's gonna what's going to happen to me? Is someone going to step in

and save me? Brandon Walsh? I'll give this little tease as people, uh stay tuned to the podcast. Did you guys get a delivery from us? Yeah? I did. Yeah, don't word there's one waiting for me at home right here. Don't show it. Don't show it next week next week for an episode something in the air. I wonder what it is. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. And then wait after that, we just have a two part finale question for you, really fast, important question that people need

to weigh in on. Okay, that's important before we go On Amazon, graduation is shown as one ninety minute episode, so that's probably like my on the Paramount Plus instead of two. So people need to let us know do they want us to do it as two or one? Can let Originally it aired as two episodes, that's correct.

It aired us to Commencement Part one and Commencement Part two, but on like streaming, on some streaming platforms, not DVDs, but some streaming platforms, they air it as a one ninety minutes so maybe should just my vote is for us to do it as one pod like the whole episode. Totally up to you, guys and maybe people listening. Yep, yep, yep. Tell us what you think. People, Yeah, we got a week, We got a week in see, Okay, that's it for

this week, guys. I hope everybody had fun at the prom and we will find out next week what Donna's fate is. Who should be prom king and queen? They didn't do that, Kelly Kelley and Dylan We did it, did spring Queen wasn't there. They just did that, didn't they? But they don't they do that problem anymore. Actually didn't even do that when I was in problem what no, no, sad, sad and yours you're looking at her? Wait, you're Prome queen. You guys, we have a queen in our midst and

Brian Anthony was prom king and I don't know. People just did it like, oh, let's vote. It's to be funny because I'm not really the prom queen type. But brianan what do you mean? Well, I'm not really like the prom queen type, but Brian Anthony was the king and so we had to have a dance. We weren't each other's dates. We had to dance, and he was a babe, I'll dance with you. Very appropriate. Wait, you didn't tell us about your prompt date. No cares. If

you whisper the story, they will Who I don't. I went to a few proms. Let's focus on Don Martin graduates. I mean I did go to a few proms. I went to like a couple of senior balls. We called it senior ball, A couple of proms, City Hawkins. I went to it all so popular, very high school experience, yeah yeah, and college very averageous so jealous right it sounds good, not average, We're jealous of your life, you want. I definitely bought my dress at Macy's and not Nolan

Miller definitely was like Macy's back then. Maybe an I magnet if I was really really going for it, Neiman Marcus, if I was just rich, needless Mark, we did go on Limo. It was like yeah, and then you went on like a party bus to Santa Cruz and it was like a sleepover. Oh m hmm. That is the small town average prom here in California. Yeah. Fun. No, sorority parties are way more fun when you guys get to college. We'll talk about that because the real sorority parties,

fraternity parties, that is real. Good. I snuck into a few in high school U c l A parties. Yeah that's good. Okay, everyone practiced your best wonder Woman's spin to see how you would feel if you were playing drunk, but not drunk. Don't do it drunk. That was a hot tip. Talk to you guys later, Love you guys. Nice
