 Hello, and welcome to Release Date Rewind. My name is Marc J. Parker, and I am a film lover, filmmaker, film celebrator. And normally, this is an audio podcast, wherever you get your podcasts on your favorite apps. But thanks to Portland Media Center, you are about to watch the video component of this show, where I celebrate movie anniversaries with my friends. Each month, I usually talk about two different movies that I love with different friends, and we talk about the making of the movies, trivia, any fun memories associated with them. So I hope you enjoy, because now it's time to rewind. Get ready, everybody, for some girl power, because we have my friend, my spice girl. We grew up with these girls. You were obsessed with them. I was obsessed with them. We have stories to tell. Please, everybody, welcome back to the show. My friend, Katie Bruno, my own little ginger spice. I've always ginger spice. I remember you love ginger. I love ginger. But you, to me, are ginger spice. And I say that as a compliment. I think that's like... Yeah. And now my red hat. I was always destined to be a redhead. Yes. Was she always your favorite? Would you say? Was she like your girl? Yeah. So were you like totally... Because I remember when she left the group, it was like earth shattering. Were you like... We'll get into that. Devastated. Devastated. Distinctly when I... So I was at... I was with Alison Cook and I was with Becky Reed and probably Nina Holmes, like the usual crew. And we were watching wannabe and they had just come out, just been released in the states. And we were watching and we were like, have you ever heard of the spice girls? And I was like, oh yeah. So we're watching it and we all chose which one we wanted to be. And I knew it was like her and it was ginger. I didn't really know who she was yet. I didn't know that she was called, well, sexy spice or ginger spice or anything like that. But yeah. Isn't that funny? And that was always her shtick. Was that she was... Yeah. And Alison chose sporty spice. She was sporty. Yeah. And was Nina a baby? Nina was scary. Oh, she was scary. Okay. And Becky was posh spice. Yeah. So I guess there was no baby. I guess I was baby. We didn't really... So we had talked to a couple of our blonde friends including Sarah Lefferts to be baby spice. Oh my God. Oh my God. They were like, we need a blonde. Yeah. And we had you brought up Alison because she and I were chatting the other day about avatar too. Cause how funny we... Last time Katie was on the show, we were talking about Titanic, obviously. And we were talking about James Cameron and Avatar 2. Are we going to see it? I watched it because I have an award screener and I got through it and it's actually not so bad. I haven't seen it yet. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I actually quite liked it. I mean, there are moments that went over my head and the first half hour I'm like, I don't know if I can sit through this. But by the end, I think it's pretty solid. I think you'll like it. There are some fun callbacks to his previous films that I won't say. But the ending, the big finale, I was like, oh, this is giving me some of that. Some of that. Anyway. But so she and I were talking about Avatar 2 and I said, hey, like I'm going to see Katie in a couple of days online and we're going to talk about Spice World if you want to like send me a message on what you think about Spice World. And she brought up, and I thought this was so funny, Katie, she said somewhere there is a picture and I hope Alison, please, if you're listening, find this picture. She said there's a photo somewhere of you and her. I think it was maybe her birthday party or some party. And she got a Spice Girl doll. We were just talking about this. Oh, were you? I saw her over, I saw her over the holidays. Yeah. And apparently you were in the photo like so what were you, are you crying? Are you pissed that you don't have a doll? What had happened was, what had happened was the Spice Girl dolls had been released. And of course I wanted Ginger Spice. And you couldn't find. So when we went to Discount Hairies, which I don't know if you remember Discount Hairies, I think we got them there. So we found the dolls, but they only had Mel C and I think like Mel B maybe, they didn't have Ginger Spice. For some reason I couldn't find Ginger Spice for a little while. So it was pretty sad. Wow. So it was a while before I got here. So yeah. So I had like Mel C, I had like, I think I have like three or four of them except Ginger or something like that. I think you know, that was like earth shattering for an 11 year old. Holy Grail. Yeah. Exactly. And I must have the set. So we read Allison's birthday party and she got Ginger Spice for her birthday. Oh my God. And I like flames on the side of my face burning. I was so mad. I was very mature about it. So we, I had seen, I saw her a couple of weeks ago with like Jackie and Amanda and we were laughing because I was mentioning, oh, I'm going to be on again to do Spice for all of them. I was like, do you remember? And I was like, yes, I was an asshole. Yes. Wow. So you had like a house wise moment. You like totally lost your shit at her party. That could have been my villain origin story right there. So did you ever get a Ginger Spice doll? Yes, I did. Okay, you did. So I actually, it was a very beautiful day. I got Ginger Spice. And it was a glorious day. I had them up until about a year or two ago when I finally, finally. Did you sell them? No, they weren't going for any money. No. I gave them to my niece. So I wanted them, so she played with them. So I gave her like them and like a couple other Barbies I'd been hanging on to. Wow. So you were holding on to the Spice Girls dolls until you said two years ago. I would say, I would say I got rid of them about two years ago. Wow. When I was two, like two moves ago. That's dedication. So I, I gave this to my niece. She was so excited. She'd hurt. She's just heard of the Spice Girls. So she's literally like, wow, she's so excited. And my nephew comes around and he's like on his bike. He's coming up and Maddie. My niece is like, Ryan, have you heard of the Spice Girls? I'm showing. It was so cute. I'm like, this is perfect. Like, I don't even care if you ruin them. It's fine. It was perfect. It was like the Toy Story 3 where Andy gives his toys to the little girl. Oh, yeah. And that was kind of like my Andy Toy Story 3 moment. Oh, that's so sweet. And she was so happy to get them. They're probably like destroyed now. Yeah. They're probably like full of shit all over them. But that's all right. They went to good use. Sorry, girls. But isn't it so funny though? Like, because how old is your niece? She is nine. So isn't that so interesting? Because they, they, the girls came out. I remember September 96 is when their first album, Spice, came out and wannabe was everywhere. And we were nine then. So how perfect that you gave them to her around the same age. But isn't it so interesting because back then when we were nine, if someone gave us, you know, toys of a band from 25 years ago, I don't think we would really care. But now it's interesting because now obviously nostalgia is such a thing like this podcast. And also now people choose their own adventure with whatever they want to watch or listen to, right? Like entertainment is way more accessible than it was when we were kids where you kind of just had like these certain channels. Yeah. Whatever your parents listen to or would allow you to buy in the CD store. Totally. Now like a nine year old could just, I don't know. She knows the Spice Girls. Yeah. Figure it out. Oh my God. I love this band and I don't care that they're not new at all. Right. Whereas also at that time in the late 90s, you know, when this movie came out and everything, everyone cared about new, new, new, like, and that's kind of what we were saying a little bit with Titanic. Like everyone cared about the hot, like younger people, like new, new, new. We're in this nowadays. It's like whatever you want. You know? Yeah. Oh, I love that you passed it on. That's nice. I know. It was tough. It was tough. Hopefully this is part of your continuing celebrations for birthday. And 25 years ago, I saw this movie for my birthday. Okay. Tell me. Wow. What a segue. That is how you do it. Ladies and gentlemen. Wow. Okay. Cause this movie came out, as you said, 25 years ago, January 23rd, 98. It was actually Super Bowl. It was the Super Bowl weekend, which is so ballsy. Like what great counter programming. Cause actually, and you might have read this too. This broke the record at the time. It was, uh, it wasn't number one. Early too. Yes. It was early. Normally, normally now it's February. Yeah. But, um, this broke the record for, um, most, um, money made from a new movie during a Super Bowl weekend. Cause it wasn't number one. It was number two after Titanic, of course. Cause Titanic was number one for months, right? It made 10 and a half million opening weekend. So it was number two, but that was at the time the highest opening number for a, for a new movie during a Super Bowl weekend, which is crazy. So I just love that they were like, all right, everyone's watching the Super Bowl, but the Spice Girls are going to come to the U S baby. So tell me, Katie, what do you remember from seeing this in the theater? So I went with, um, I believe my mom, definitely my brother, Seamus, um, I went with, um, I believe Seamus's friend, Scotty was there and, uh, Ben Reed, Becky Reed, probably Nina Holmes. Yeah. Where was I? I guess I really don't know. I know I texted you and I was like, did we see this together? Well, you didn't, you, I'm, yeah. Oh, I thought you meant like, I know I texted you about going, I'm like, well, we weren't texting back then. No. I'm like, that wasn't around, Katie. Thanks. But now I'm like, wait, didn't even have cell phones yet. That's what we did back then. Yeah. I meant to say, you know, yeah. But no, yeah. We were texting in modern day. Yeah. You know, I have this memory of seeing this movie. I guess I did not see it with you. I think, because I remember being in one of the rooms upstairs at my old house in Morse town with Shayna Bellin and Anna Panisi. So I guess I saw it with them. But then I think I told you, then I get it confused because I feel like I saw she's all that the year later with them. So I don't know where I was, but I know I saw this movie in theaters with some friends, but I missed the party. Wow. That is quite a party. I can't believe your brother Shayna's went with you. You went and we were dancing in the aisles. Him and Ben and Scotty were dancing in the aisles. Oh my God. Especially at the end when they put on, it looks like the full show at the end. And we were dancing and having a good old time. Like it was, I was so excited. And I was so excited. It was coming out on my birthday. Oh my God. What a great birthday movie. My, you know, I was 11. Yeah, I was 11. So I was 11 and just very excited. I love that. They had the movie come out on my birthday. I know because we were talking, last time we were talking a month ago, we were saying how like it came out for Christmas in the UK, but then just a few weeks later for the US, which as kids felt like agony, but what a perfect time. Oh, I know. Originally it was supposed to be release on Christmas with us, too. But there was like, so there was financial issues that prevented it from releasing. So they had trouble selling it to distributors, honestly, because I have it listed here. They tried selling into New Line Cinema, Mirror Max, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, MGM, and Universal. They all turned it down. So they sold it to Columbia. I don't know. I guess because it was just not a good movie, but like, maybe they didn't think it would make money. Yeah, I don't know. So they did, Columbia eventually bought it. And then, but they made some last minute editing. So they had to lead it to January 23rd, but originally we were supposed to get it at Christmas. So, Wow. Wow. Can you imagine? Yeah, it worked out because, I mean, Titanic was still king, but at least we had some breathing room because that would have been quite a crazy Christmas with Titanic, Spice Girls, Scream 2, Sea Titanic, and then the Spice Girls movie right after. You're like crying, and then you go and you're like, well, that's actually a good follow. Yeah, I was going to say it's actually a great combo. Yeah. See Titanic, cry your eyes out, and then now you need a comedy to like cheer you up. So there you go. My mom and I did that. We did a theater hopping. We saw Brokeback Mountain, of course it was just so sad. Oh my God. And then we would see the producers right after. So it was like the perfect, we needed that jolt of joy after. I love that. Yeah, that's a good combo. Yeah, Titanic, and then Spice Girls. Why not? Yeah. When the world is in trouble, when our future is in danger, we call upon one man. But when he's busy, he calls five girls. Columbia Pictures presents the Spice Girls. All right, we're coming. In their film debut, Victoria, Emma, Mel B, Jerry, and Mel C. Okay, so let me set the scene before we talk all about this movie and try to figure it out. Make sense of it. Yeah, huh? Exactly. Right? It's a lot of fun, but it was quite a head-scratcher at times. Okay, so let me tell you what was going on at this time. On the news side, in January 1998, everybody, news of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal broke on January 17th, 1998, just about a week before this came out. So whoa. What a time to be alive. So if you remember everyone, so news broke on the Drudge Report, which reported that Newsweek editors were sitting on a story exposing the affair. The story broke in the mainstream press a couple days later, January 21st. It broke in the Washington Post, and then it was crazy for a few days. And then Clinton, our president at the time, even then got on the air, had his speech on TV with Hillary by his side, and that's when he said his denial, I did not have sexual relations. Oh, yeah, with that woman. With that woman. Mm-hmm, yes. And so that happened on January 26th. So as we're in lava land over Spice Girls, the world is like, okay, great, there's real stuff going on, right? So I thought that was... I remember that scandal, too. Do you remember being a big deal on them? Yes. And actually, when I was doing that research and seeing that at this time, it actually reminded me, I need to watch the American Crime Story season that came out a year ago all about it. Did you see that one? No, no. Because I liked their OJ season, and then I saw most of the Versace season, which was good, I just... Yeah, I haven't seen any of them. My dad watched the OJ one for sure. He said it was very good. Oh, yeah, watch the OJ one, though. Yeah. It was fantastic. Oh, my gosh, yeah. So it's really good. So I got to watch the impeachment one about Monica and Clinton, because, yeah. Mm-hmm. So that was going on. On the TV side, we were just talking about this offline, on the TV side, Dawson's Creek had premiered on the WB, my favorite channel. We were big Buffy fans. I forget, did you watch Dawson's Creek? You did. I was just going to say, I never watched it. You never watched the one episode? I never watched one episode. I thought you watched the beginning, no? I don't think so. Okay. We would talk about it on the bus, and I'd be like, uh-huh. But I was more... Not... I was all more into the supernatural stuff, Buffy, Angel, like, Charmed. Charmed. That was my dream. Charmed, I think, was coming out the next year, I remember. So, yeah, uh-huh. Yeah. I hear you. I liked them all. Yeah. And Felicity, I don't think you liked Felicity. Felicity, I never watched Gilmore Girls. Oh, so good. Yeah, I never got into Gilmore. Yeah. Those are... Not that they're not good, but they're just not my jam. Yeah. Yeah. And I totally understand. That's, like, a real commitment to, like, kind of just watch, like, a... like, an old-school drama every week. Yeah. Like, a soap, you know? Even though you will always be James Vanderbake, though. I just remember seeing him for the first time, and I'm like, that's you. That's, like, a version of you. I know, it's crazy. Right? So this show premiered January 20th, just a few days before the Spice Girl came out. It was my birthday. Yes, your birthday. And how fun... I guess it was a Tuesday because it started on the WB Tuesday. And I think Buffy was either Monday or Wednesday. I don't think it was on the same night. It changed nights a couple times. They changed nights. Yeah, for sure. You know, re-watching the show, I gotta say, it's actually really good. It's really funny. Maybe I'll watch it for the show. I do... whenever there's... because I've watched movies and podcasts just so I can listen to the episode and know what the hell's going on. Yeah. Which is surprising because you are like me and you've seen a lot of stuff. You've seen a lot of movies. I have, but I had never seen the John Ritter movie. Stay tuned. You had never seen Stay tuned? I never seen that. So I saw you were doing that. I'd heard of it. Yep. And I think I messaged you. I was like, I've actually never seen this. So I found it. I watched it and I was like, how did I miss this? Oh, it's such a wow ride. Yeah. Thanks for listening. I had never seen it until just last month for Christmas. I know. Isn't that crazy? It had been on my radar for years. Yeah. It's funny how like... Yeah. When you do certain movies just pass you by. I know. And then you're like, oh yeah. And you add it to your list and everything's added to your list of stuff. I haven't watched it. That's like, I'm eight miles long. Yeah. Totally. Totally. Maybe I'll watch Dawson's Creature. Yeah. You know, give it a shot for Michelle Williams. She talks about Spielberg on the show. And now she's in a Spielberg movie and nominated. She's nominated. That's awesome. Check it out and see if you are into it. Of course it is a teen soap and back then. Yeah. Yeah. You know the music is very cheesy. Yeah. But keep that in mind. So that had just premiered that we knew ended up being a huge show at the time. On the music side, oh my God. This is such a throwback. Truly madly deeply by Savage Garden was number one. Of course. What a song. I loved Savage Garden. Me too. Loved them so much. I loved, ooh, I want you, I don't know, I need you, but ooh, don't I find out? Truly madly deeply, what a perfect time for that to be number one, because we were saying Dawson's Creek, so sappy, and that song was like such a ballad. I want to stand with you. Yeah. Right, so good. So that was number one. And I thought this was funny. I didn't realize this. Also in music news, Victoria Adams at the time and David Beckham got engaged January 25th, just a few days. When the movie was released, yes. So happy engagement anniversary to them, because they just used two days. Absolutely, what a power couple. I know. Oh my god, right? What a couple. They are iconic. So yeah, I thought that was great. And then popular movies, of course, like we said, we've been saying a couple of times, Titanic. There was no beating it. It was number one for a while. It had just won some Golden Globes a couple nights previously to the Spice World premiere. So I mean, everyone knew there's no way you're going to outdo the big ship coming to town, right? So that's kind of what was going on at the time. So now, Katie, I'm going to throw it over to you real quick. In your own words, for anyone out there who hasn't seen Spice World, who doesn't really want to rewatch it, what is this movie about? Excellent question, Mark Parker. Excellent question. Well, it is about the Spice Girls, a group of five fabulous women who are just navigating fame and trying to have some semblance of a normal life because they are trying to maintain relationships with their good friend. And it's funny. It's really looking at fame and how everyone's trying to like. I wrote in here, everyone wants something from them. And it shows kind of like the tabloids want to like destroy them to sell papers. And then their agent wants to put them out there to make money. And then the documentary guy wants to make a good documentary so he can be famous. Like it's like they're all trying to get something from them. And so the girls or the ladies are just navigating that and putting out awesome music and fabulous clothing and riding around on like the best bus in the world. Oh my god, that bus. I want to go on that bus so bad. The sixth Spice Girl. Like honestly, that bus. I remembered it like when I was re-watching it, I was like, oh, sure, I remember how amazing this bus is. It was so ridiculous. It's so ridiculously huge inside where you know, obviously they're on a soundstage. Even Greg popped in when I was re-watching it and he's like, wait, they're supposed to be in the bus because it showed their manager. And I don't know who the blonde woman Deborah is supposed to be. Is she sort of the manager's assistant or publicist? Okay. He's like the assistant. The assistant manager. But the two of them are like on a balcony, like looking down at them in the bus. And Greg's like, wait. There's like, Mel C has a training bike and it's like, it's just like ridiculous. But it's so great. It's like such a perfect, crazy like spaceship, which is funny because then we'll get to the spaceship. Oh my god, I forgot about that scene, yeah. I know, but I just wish. And maybe it happened and I missed the boat, but man, I really wish like the Spice bus still like came around to different towns across the world and like, you got to go on it, is it? Yeah. It's, I have it written down. Hold on. It's at the, it's on permanent display at Island Harbor Marina in England. So you can go see it, but it's on permanent display. It was in 2014, they put it there. So I would love to see it too, right? And I don't know. I'd have to delve more into it if they do tours. Like if you could go in and I mean, I'm sure it's not the same as the movie. No, it's not. But still just to see where Posh was driving the bus. Yeah. I love that scene. Oh, I love that scene. It's so funny. And I remember you said last time the quote from that scene that you love. Do you want to say it now? That's the only quote that was really cool to remember because I'll say it still when I'm driving and be like, Sunday driver, that's how we start today. Like I even do it in a British accent, which is amazing as I do such a great perception as you can hear. I love it. But I'll still do that sometimes when I'm driving and people are being slow. I'll say that line. So that didn't speak with me 25 years later. That's funny because that, that line, I forgot, I had forgotten that until you brought it up. Yeah. And it's so good. Victoria, you could tell, well, do you remember like, okay, this was back in 2007, I want to say. Do you remember when, and I'm wearing my Spice Girls shirt. So you remember that was the height. I know. This is from their concert when I was, it says the return of the Spice Girls. I saw them with Melissa Grenini. I want to say in like 2008, their reunion tour. The reunion tour. I wanted to go so badly. Oh, baby. I did not. It was so much fun. But that tour was with Ginger Spice. She did. Yes, everyone was back. I really wanted, but I think it was so hard to get tickets. Yeah, I don't know how we scored, but it was in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was North Jersey. So we had to take like a bus from the city with all these screaming girls and we're like, okay. And I remember that tour. It was so fun, that show, but everyone in the middle of the show had a solo. And that was at the height of Victoria, like was not a singer anymore. She was blonde. She had her short, cool blonde hair. She and David Beckham were like at the height of their sexiness. And also, if you remember, this is when Victoria was trying to kind of be almost like Paris Hilton and lean into like funny reality because she had a special that summer, I want to say. She had like a comedy special where I remember she was like in the US and trying to get her like driver's license but posing in funny ways. And they were like, you can't pose like that. I do remember that. Wow. Does that ring a bell? It does, it does. She lived. I think she was trying to make a reality show but it was only like a special. But anyway, so this was at the height of her like no longer singing. And so everyone sang a solo, but she instead, cause she also was like a fashion designer. She just walked the runway to David Bowie's fashion and didn't speak, didn't say anything and just posed. We were like, okay. So that's her solo. Okay. That's okay. Yeah. But there's a really good comedy in here. And especially from Victoria, like she made me laugh rewatching Spice World. I mean, they all did. They all, you know, definitely had good comedic timing, but she's surprising cause she just, out of all them seems sometimes the most stiff, lost, you know, unsure what to do, you know? So I was sort of impressed that actually she had some good comedic chops here. You know? Yeah. It was funny. Definitely. I definitely laughed a lot. But I'm glad you brought up, you bring up a really good point that yeah, the movie actually, like if we were talking about it seriously, it's yeah, it's actually about how everyone wanted something from them all the time. They got no sleep. Which I mean- Just working them, because remember like, oh, they're gonna have the morning off and then they're like, nope, nevermind. And they're like, you know, like, of course, but, you know, it's how it kind of was like for, you know, I think that's why Jerry left. I know. I think it was just exhaustion and just- She left only like six months after this. Five months. Not even, five months. Five months after the movie. Yeah, so. It's really crazy cause when we were kids, and of course when you're your kids, time feels like it goes on forever. But like, think about it. They debuted their first album in September 96. Then their second album, which this movie is basically one big long music video for, their second album, Spice World, came out, I think it was November 97. And so then the movie comes out December January, right? And then Jerry quits and then they do have their other album, but then like the band, so they only really had a year and a half really of like non-stop. I mean, it's insane. And I'm actually so happy they're like normal and not crazy cause they could have easily had breakdowns and gone to drugs and I mean, but they all- Yeah, I feel like all of them are doing well. I was kind of trying to find where they are now. Like Mel B, I feel like and Victoria are the most, you see the most, because Victoria is married to Dave Beckham. So, and then Mel B is on reality show. She's on- Yeah, she does a lot of like America's Got Talent. America's Got Talent, yeah. Yes, and she and Emma were on an episode or a couple actually of, I don't really like the show, but did you see this? It's on Netflix, The Circle, that reality show. I don't really get it, but they were on it and it's all about like, you're in an apartment building and you like stay in your rooms, but then you like chat with people that are other contestants in the apartment building, but the whole goal is you have to like catfish them. So the girls, it's Emma and Mel B are like pretending to be someone else. I didn't really get it. I just love seeing the two of them. I only watched the first episode of the season with them on it because I'm like, oh, it's so fun seeing them like in a room and they're like, wow, you know. But yeah, you're right. You don't see too much of them, even though for a long time there, Mel C was like the breakout star of the group, I feel like, because she had, I'd say the best voice, you know. Yeah, I'd say she had the strongest voice. She had like a really good solo dance career for a while, you know, but yeah, it's just crazy to think they really had a whirlwind popularity in two years or less. So, and I didn't realize how short lived it was either. Like I was looking at, yeah, because I feel like they came out and we were like, yeah, Spice Girls, everything, Girl Power, everything, the dolls and the lollipops, the stickers and yeah. And I was done for Halloween in sixth grade. We went as the Spice Girls, we went to your house for the Halloween party. Oh my gosh, Katie, do you have a picture of that somewhere, do you think? I do, I do, actually. I do. Oh my God, please send it to me. Darn, I'll have to find, yes, I'm gonna try and find it because it actually popped up on Facebook in Memories. Oh, so it's on Facebook, okay. It's on Facebook, but I have it, I think it's in my office. I gotta post it, please. Okay, I'll try and find it. But I was ginger, you know, it's scary. Becky was posh, Allison was 40, but she was supposed to be, but her pap wouldn't let her in dress because it was like a belly, a midriff belly. Oh my God, no. I felt bad, I was like, oh man, and she was really disappointed. So what did she go as instead? Or was she sporty just in a different outfit? No, it didn't go as sporty at all, I don't know. But the funny thing about sporty is you could just put a hoodie on, you know? Yeah, I guess she had like midriff bears, I don't know, Allison remembers better, but I just remember Pap wouldn't let her wear the outfit so she went and something else. And I was like, ah, like I felt bad. That's so funny. So three of the Spice Girls appeared at your Halloween party in 2000, oh my gosh, in 1998 or was it 97? Okay, before this came out. Wow. Yeah, absolutely before. 97 would have been my Halloween party where we watched Scream, because Scream came out in 96. So yeah, so you guys must have been the Spice Girls for the Scream Halloween party. Oh my God. Wish I had photos from those parties, but I don't have anything. Maybe old video on some old bad VHS tape somewhere. They're ready for action. Go power. They're dressed to kill. Do you want that shank nor sturd? And thoroughly prepared for any encounter. Thanks so much for watching. Next week will be part two of this discussion. And in the meantime, please follow Release Date Rewind on Instagram.
