 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. So this is based on an idea of the Spice Girls, and a man, I thought it was a woman, but a man named Kim Fuller, who is actually the brother of Simon Fuller, and people probably know Simon Fuller mostly from starting American Idol. So Simon Fuller, British guy who was the Spice Girls manager, and I feel like Richard E. Grant, who's so much fun. He plays Clifford, their manager in the movie. I got the vibe that Clifford is sort of modeled a little bit after Simon Fuller, because so apparently he wasn't their manager, if I remember correctly when I was researching. He wasn't their manager in the very beginning of when they got started. He came on a little later, right? Did you see that too? Did you see that too? They took meetings with him once they already were like kind of successful. Because they were with it just a shame. I wonder if that kind of was downhill from there. Like, I mean, I admire, you know, that he, that they like stood their ground, you know, for whatever wasn't working out. But then they kind of fizzled out after that. Like the movie came out and then five months later, Ginger, Jerry quit. Right. And then I was I feel like after that, I was kind of over. I was like, well, without Ginger, I like, I love all of them, but I love all of them together. I know Ginger was for me. Ginger and scary were the ones I looked at the most. Like, yeah, I will never forget everybody. There was this magazine called YM. Do you remember YM magazine? Young and modern and the Spice Girls were on it. And it was a beautiful photo. I mean, their eyes were popping. I want to say the background was blue. I'll I'll post it. This magazine, guys, I saw in the grocery store and here's me a little like what was I was a 10 year old boy. And my mom's like, you're not buying that. That's for girls. And I'm like, well, I'm buying it, mom, because I love Spice Girls. And I remember having it in my house and my older cousin was over and she said to my sister, who was, if I was 10, she, my sister was six. Marina was little, yeah. Yeah, Marina was little. My cousin goes, Marina, you read Young and Modern. Well, I am. And I was like, no, that's my copy because I like Spice Girls. And she was like, oh, but this photo was amazing. And I bring it up because my eyes always went to Ginger and scary. They just looked stunning. I think also because their their hair was so cool. You know, the bright red and the curls and I mean, all of them were amazing. But those two were my most like favorite, I'd say. And I also always did love Posh. I was always check and Posh out like she just was always interesting to me. Sporty and baby great, but they never really drew me in like the others. Yeah. Posh and her little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress. Well, what are you going to wear? The little Gucci dress or the little Gucci dress or the little Gucci dress? Right? I know. How about the little Gucci dress? Do I dress it too short? Ginger and scary were always my favorites. They always stood out. And actually, when I gave the dolls to my niece, she loved scary. Spice was her favorite because Gary had like the the cat fun things and the cheetah outfit and just looking amazing. So that was her favorite. So yeah, those two were always like. Isn't it crazy? And I heard there was power struggle between them. I there was rumors that between Melby and Jerry, but it makes sense that they're I think the most outspoken of the five. And like Jerry had like she was really the one with girl power and she wore that black dress that is like iconic iconic. And then Melby, like they're both I think the strongest personalities and strongest. And the most like you said, they stand out the most. So I heard there was like power struggle. Yeah, I remember that back. Yeah, I remember hearing that when we were kids and then I saw that again when I was looking at like, you know, the fallout with Jerry. And I wondered like, man, was that just the press like putting them together? But you know, some rumors are true. And I could see I totally agree. They were powerhouses. You could feel their energy that they were more than just singers. They also kind of were producers themselves. You know, they were idea makers. So yeah, but I love that they at least got over it. You know, I know Jerry was out of the group for a while. But then they I feel like they first reunited maybe for the. Oh, no, they first reunited for the tour. Yeah. And then they reunited again for the Olympics. I remember for the 2010, I believe something like that. Yeah. Yeah. And then and now, yeah, they're always like in videos together. So I love that. And they had a 2019 reunion tour as well. That's right. Yeah. And they released Spice World 25. Yeah, I listened to that today because I had some songs. Yeah, I had some lecture songs and some live some live performances of songs. Yeah, it was fun. But yeah, they released that a couple of months ago. OK, yeah. Spice World 25. That's what's also so crazy me. So they had a movie to promote, but also an album and then singles and music videos like they were making the movie and the album at the same time. So it was that it was a very. Yeah. And and a few of them kind of admitted like they wish the movie could have been better. But because they were so busy, they had such limited. I think they filmed it like two months. And but while they were doing it, they were also doing the album. So they're like, we couldn't put our full ourselves in full selves into this movie. So they kind of wish it would. They're still proud of it. But a few of them are like, could have made it better. Like, yeah, we just had more time to give to it. Yeah. It's a story of love. I think it was born. You should be able to just wield them in. Yeah. And order them like a pizza. Yeah. No cheese. The movie filmed in June and wrapped in August, 97. You're right, two months. And the film was was to be set to the songs from the girl's second studio album. But no songs have been written when filming began. So wow, I mean, they're they're doing all of this in a short amount of time. And the band thus had to do all the songwriting and recording at the same time as they were filming Spice World. Crazy. Yeah, crazy, crazy. So they put, yeah, like it was I think that's why the movie really does serve as kind of one long music video for the album, because that's all they could really do, you know, like there's really no way. Originally, they apparently and you might have seen this too, Katie, Disney, the Walt Disney Company approached them about making a film. But the band turned their offer down because Disney wanted a quote unquote Disney five script about a young single mother of one of the girls fighting hardship to form the band. And I guess they just thought like, no, we don't want to see like a woman struggle. We want it to be totally fun and kind of mirrored on our lives and how everyone wants something from us. And right, you know, yeah, right. Yeah. I feel like that's like one of the pitches the movie guy does in the movie where it's like like all those ridiculous ones. It isn't ones like, oh, they're sisters and they're taking care of their grandmother, so they form a group. And I'm like, this is sounding like that what the Disney was trying with the Disney was trying to put out. Totally. You're right. Maybe that was that line might have been inspired really. I love how he goes in one of the meetings. He goes, OK, another idea. What does he say? He says crocodiles. And then they're just like, OK. That was a lot of funny stuff. And then it's funny because then his idea at the end, then like, I see, I kind of wish the whole movie was meta the whole time. Because then at the end, then he's saying what they're actually doing. And then at the very, very end, we see the actors from the movie with the Spice Girls on set. I forgot that. I totally forgot that. I mean, so do we just watch a movie about the making of the movie? I was like, wait, what? It's almost it's so meta that it actually, I don't think makes sense because it's like, well, we just saw them and then now they're meeting and it's like their trailers and then the girls are talking into the camera. I'm like, wait, but like, I'm like, wait, I feel like I'm in a new universe. Like I can't I can't fathom this, but I just I kind of wish the whole movie was a little bit more like that, where like, let's just commit to it where like this is almost like a mockumentary of their lives, you know, instead of some of these goofy things, which I still love and we'll we'll talk about our favorite goofy moments because there are quite a few, but also another writer on this film. So it's it's mostly Kim Fuller and the Spice Girls, I guess, naturally are very we're very involved in the writing because I mean it's based on their individual characters. But then also there was a writer who did additional writing. I saw named Jamie Curtis, not Jamie Lee Curtis, but Jamie Curtis. And then it just made my mind water. I'm like, what if Jamie Lee Curtis was a writer? He secretly wrote for this movie and was it produced by Jimmy Cameron? Wait a minute. We're putting these together. Like that's where James Cameron went for his hiatus. He's making. Oh, my God. He's like, sure, this will be a nice no-brainer for me after Titanic for the last few years. But isn't that so funny? I'm like, Jamie Curtis, what the hell? So I don't know. Maybe that's Jamie Curtis's alter ego. Yeah, a little fun fact there. And then it was the movie was directed by a British guy named Bob Spears. This was his second feature film. He had just done, which I remember seeing this one in that darn cat with Christina Ricci, the remake in 97. Do you remember that one? I do. I don't know if I saw it in theaters. But what was interesting about like Bob Spears is he actually didn't know the Spice Girls. Yes. Like he they like offer like his friend. Actually, I think it was Jennifer Saunders, who's in the movie as a cameo from Absolutely Fabulous, which I love that show. My mom and I watched it growing up. But yeah, he had no idea what it was, who the Spice Girls were. And and she actually told him to take the job. She's like, oh, you should do because she knew who they were, I guess. And so he met them in New York City to like kind of meet and greet. And he didn't know what they looked like. Like, he had no idea. Which is crazy, but it kind of makes sense because they were exploding, but they were still so new because Roger Moore had no idea who they were. And he was in this movie. No, he didn't know anything about the Spice Girls and they approached him about the movie and he was like, all right, I guess. So it's really funny, like a lot of people in this didn't know who the Spice Girls were. That is shocking. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess when you think about it, all right. They because because we're looking at it as the finished film, which came out over a year after their debut. But really, they were only shooting about, I don't know, maybe eight months after their first album came out. So yes, some of these older people could be like, you know, what, you know, but it's just funny because they were winning awards and they were like at award shows. But I guess they were coming at, yeah, they were exploding. But I feel like certain, yeah, like Bob Spears and Roger Moore, like, I don't know. I didn't know about Roger Moore. That is so funny. And it's his scenes in the movie are they're cute. But I mean, the things he's saying and then he's holding he's with a cap. But then later he's holding a pig. Did you notice that he's petting a pig? And then there was a bunny. There was a bunny, too. Yeah. Yeah, there was like, it was a nice little he's like, he's like, obviously, you know, yeah, tying into bond. And then also even a bit of like Charlie's Angels with Charlie on the phone or whatever they have. Charlie's Angels references in the movie, they just in the photo scene. I know. That's a fun montage of scenes in one day, Roger Moore. He filmed one day and he had no idea what the movie was to know anything else about the movie. Wow. That is a lot of the people that came out and it had no idea what the movie was about. They're like, sure, I'll just do it. Oh, and there are so many cameos. There are so many cameos. Some of them. Some of them we don't even really know. They were like British celebs, some different host stuff. But I mean, there's writing. There's so many people. You know, there's even people that Elvis Costello. Which is funny because the beginning of this movie reminds me of Austin Powers. It's all very psychedelic. I wrote that I wrote. It's very like bond, psychedelic, very like, yeah. Silly spoof of like the spy stuff. But then it's funny because then Elvis Costello pops up as the bartender and Elvis Costello has a cameo in Austin Powers. So I was like, wow, I feel like I feel like Spice World and Austin are a fun, wacky 90s duo. He came out around the same time. So it kind of they kind of, you know, yeah. Totally similar to it's actually shocking. The Spice Girls were never Fembots or anything in any of the Austin Powers. I guess I guess because, yeah, when you think about it, they were probably shooting Austin Powers while the girls were making their first album. So they didn't know each other. And then by the time the second one came out in 99, Jerry was already out of the band. So I guess there really wasn't a time for them to do one of the Austin movies, you know? But yeah, I feel like in some alternate universe, they definitely partnered with Austin Powers. What are they called in the one of the ideas, Fab Force Five? Is that Spice Force Five? Spice Force Five, yes, of course. Yeah, so Fembots. Yeah, I would watch that movie actually. Oh, totally. Spice Force Five, a thousand percent. Right, it might have been better than what we got. Compassion. It is really too hot in here. I need a fan. What are your favorite moments? Oh, I love, so I love the ending with they're on the bus and they're racing to the concert. So funny. And there's like a bomb on the bus. Like it's just so ridiculous. And then, yeah. And the guys like talking about the movie and they're like, now they're on top of the bus. They're like, ah! It's just so ridiculous. I remember that and being like, that's really funny. I love the haunted mansion scene. It's so random. Oh my God, I love that you're bringing that up. Random scenes, but I remember that one and I remember being like, why are they in this creepy old house again? Like, I don't know, but I love it. It's really funny. It's like good slapstick humor. Yes, and I love, as soon as I saw the toilet, I remembered that the creepy guy who's actually Richard O'Brien from Rocky Horror. Yes, Riff Raff. Yes. I saw him and I was like, oh, he's in Ever After. He plays the creepy guy in Ever After. And I'm like, wait, and he's Riff Raff. Like sometimes it's hard to like put things together. Yes. Oh, totally. It's funny because he looks exactly like Riff Raff, but I didn't realize that literally until I rewatched it for the show. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, oh my God, that is him. But as soon as I saw the toilet in that spooky scene at night, I remember that, oh my God, he comes out of the toilet and every move he makes, the girls all like, it's funny. Cause ultimately the movie is sort of like an SNL episode. It's really just like good little skits, you know? Yes. And like that's them poking fun at horror movies and you hear the ch-ch-ch-ch, you know? Yeah. But yeah, that guy, he is so funny in how he always pops up. He's in the water. He's like in the bushes. He's in the horseradish at the party. And he's like, oh, I think that's so scary. He's in scrubs at the hospital, you know? Yeah, he's always onto them. Because ultimately the villain is, which I completely forgot this, the villain is the editor of the paper, which I think is called the event, right? Daily event. The daily event. The daily event. And he's so just sick of always having to write about the Spice Girls that he wants to write bad stories about them and make them go away. He wants them to break up and take them down. Yeah, like it's, yeah, I'm like, okay. But yeah, you know, then that it really is a metaphor for all the press that they were getting and all the rumors and so it is kind of interesting watching this as an adult's point of view because I have not rewatched this movie in decades. 25 years probably. Probably, maybe 24, but like it's been a long time. So seeing it with adult eyes, I'm like, oh wow, this is all like a metaphor for all the pressure and all the annoying things I have to deal with. Totally, yeah. What else do you like from the movie? I love, well, The Spice Bus is amazing. We already talked about Spice Bus. I love their outfits. I've always, always, always loved their fashion and I've always loved how they're so individual with their fashion. And in this movie showcases, they have so many outfit changes. I love it. And how fun when they dress up as each other, right? When they dress up as each other. I love the photo shoot scene with, what's his name? Dominic West as the photographer. That was one of his first roles. He came up and like, Dominic West, what are you doing in this movie? Like I totally forgot. And I saw Hugh Laurie from the show House is in it. Is in it. Stephen Fry is the judge. Yes. And then of course. Call Halte in the blue fish. I laughed at that. I think it was so cute. And then of course we have Alan Cumming, but he's not a cameo. He's like actually. Love Alan Cumming. But oh my god, he's so much fun as, and it's funny because his name is Pierce. And for a second I'm like, were they making fun of Pierce Morgan? But I don't know if Pierce Morgan was around at the time. I don't know. I know like Pierce is not a likable guy, so maybe he wasn't likable then. But speaking of Alan Cumming real quick, I'm gonna cut you off. Did you watch The Traders yet? It's a reality? Oh my god, you gotta watch it. Do you have peacock? Never even heard of it. Oh my god, Katie. I do, yeah, peacock. Oh my god. Do you like like reality competition shows where like people are voted off each week? What kind of competition? You might like this. So the British season just aired into seven. Is Alan Cumming on it? Alan Cumming hosts the US season that just came to peacock earlier this month. Everybody, if you aren't watching The Traders, you are ridding yourself of a really fun reality show. It's filmed at the exact same castle the UK season was at. It's set at a castle in Scotland, so it's perfect for Alan Cumming. He's the host. He's having so much fun. He looks great in all these crazy outfits and it's like a murder mystery, but no one's dying. But there are traders that are assigned the roles of traders and their task is to kill a different person in the group every night and then during the day, they have to meet at a round table and they evict someone. They basically banish someone who they think is the trader. So it's all about lying and deceit and the US season is a mix of reality stars and real people and it's just so much fun. Check it out. You might not like it. I'll check it out. I binged it. I loved it. I thought it was like such a fun and fun. It's on peacock. I love Alan Cumming, so. He's great. He is meant for that. It's like such a good gig for him. But yeah, anyway, so I digress about Alan Cumming. But yes, tell me more. So yeah, I loved all their fashion, their outfits. Like I just, I love that. I thought it was so funny, the scene when they were at the party and Jerry's like, I hate when people dress up like this. So ridiculous. And then Jerry's outfit's like the most ridiculous. And she says that. She says that as drag queens dressed as them are walking by. Did you notice that? And misunderstanding when the speeding melon hits a wall. Yay! Christmas for the crows. What did he say? I have no clue. And then there's the nightclub scene, which is awesome. Yes. How amazing is that nightclub? First of all, I wrote in my notes, that's an amazing nightclub I want to go to there. Like. I know. Everyone is decked out and I love the posh. I remember in that line, she says something about the dress code. Like, can anyone tell me what the dress code is here? Yeah. But yeah, that scene is great and very music video. Because I'm like, we could have cut a minute ago, but we're just dancing with the girls and that's all right. And that's when they're singing one of my all-time fave Spice Girls songs. Who do you think you are? I love that song. Oh. Love and I love it. Yeah, I know. And that's when their friend, Nikola, gives them that look. I remember that look so well. She's up above and she's just like, Oh! And she's having the contractions and then the camera zooms in on baby Spice. Nikola! You know, and that's when they gotta rush her to the hospital. But yeah, that's a great scene. Totally. Yeah. I love some of my favorite moments that I immediately think of. I love, obviously, the drill sergeant boot camp. I love that scene. That's a cute scene. That's a fun scene. To me, Spice World, it's always the girls in the army fatigues and then Posh is in her army. Victoria! Right? You'll just like trying to like do the tires. And she's not doing any of those like relay races. No way. She's just walking. I love that. I love the, you know, strength and courage and a wonder bra. You know, I love that whole thing. That's such a funny. They're weird dance instructor guy. I love the whole sequence there. I also love, I mean, we got to talk about the aliens. What do you think about these aliens? I totally forgot about that scene. Oh, did you? So, when it was happening, I was like, oh yeah, like it like came back to me. But when I was remembering, like before I rewatched, I was trying to like think how much I actually remembered from the movie. And that I like totally had forgotten about the aliens. I feel like if James Cameron had directed this, the aliens would have been better at special effects. But other than that, it was, yeah. It was a ridiculous scene. Oh my God. Now I'm picturing Avatar meets Spice World. And it's these- Or the abyss. If you actually watched the abyss yet. Oh yeah, I need to watch that. But it's nowhere to be found. Much like Spice World. I know. I know. We had to watch it like- I know. Thank you for finding that website. I would have had to go from memory. And I'm like, oh. Oh God. I'd be like, uh, they sing their songs and- They sing their songs and there's great outfits. What else is a good scene? But yeah, the aliens are like super silly and also sexual. Like they immediately go for Mel B's boob. And then they want to kiss from ginger and they want posh to sign the belly. Like it's so goofy. And then I love how later during the big finale, which is so awesome when they sing Spice Up Your Life at the concert. It is so awesome. But then it shows like everyone around the world dancing and it shows the aliens like on their planet with Spice Girls t-shirts dancing. I'm like, okay. All right, cool. You know? I also love the scene where they're at the, I guess, is it like Italy or something where the guys with the assilist staff? So they were shirtless. This is ridiculous. I did too. And I was like, this is hilarious. And then they're like, well, we made a compromise. What did Jerry say? Haven't you heard of compromise? I shed. And I'm like, I want to use that word. That's the main thing. I love that line. But um, and so they're dancing and then they turn around all their asses are hanging out. I was cracked. Like that was the compromise. It's like, that's like when my brain, like I have no idea. Like I forgot, I love that song they sing. It's not there. It's, um, do you want to play in my game? I love that song. What song is that? Yeah. So that song, which is interesting, that's not one of theirs. That's from Gary Glitter, who was actually supposed to be in the movie. You might have seen this little bit. I don't know who got it. So I read that in trivia. Yes. I don't know him either. He was a British singer. Yes. He shot his whole scene and everything, but they had to pull it because of child pornography. Yeah. But they kept the song in. Come on, come on. I'm the leader of the gang by Gary Glitter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. See, I didn't know Gary. I read his name and that he was in it. He had like a good four minute scene. Wow. And then they had to cut it right before they released it, which was kind of good at least, not good that he got arrested on this, but at least the timing, he wasn't in it. You're like, oh. Yeah. At least they were able to quickly remove it. Yeah. We had this pervert in our movie. Yeah. But I completely forgot about those, the beefed up, you know, dancers and how, yeah, they don't like that they're just in their underwear and the captain hats. But then they come out in those purple suits. And as soon as they saw the purple suits, I'm like, oh yeah, I remember this. And then they turn around and then their ass cheeks are out. And then all the girls are like, oh, okay. Like the face. And the manager's like, that was the compromise. Yeah. That was great. Yeah. Some of the jokes land. Some of the comedy is, it works. A lot of it, or at least half of it doesn't work, but it's still so, it's so cute and so family friendly that like, at least you get a kick out of it, no matter what. They make it. Yes. Like they have so much charisma and personality and individuality that I feel like it could have been a better movie. Yes, I wonder to their point when they were saying like, they wish they'd had more time to put to the movie, like I wonder if it could have actually been like, like a Beatles Hard Days Night, like kind of a classic, you know, which is compared to often the Beatles Hard Days Night. I was trying to think of other movies like this and there really aren't too many movies starring a band, about a band, but like with fictional elements. This isn't a very common thing. No, so Hard Days Night's one and then Spinal Tap was another one, which I've actually never seen. Oh yeah, you know, I've seen clips. I've actually never seen the whole thing either. Yeah. But I know people love it. That's great. Being that Jamie Lee Curtis, her husband, Christopher Guest makes those movies. He made that movie. Yeah. But yeah, and what's different about that though is at least it's a fake band. It's totally, you know. Yeah, that's true. The band is totally fake for that. Which, did you read a Billie Eilish thought that the Spice Girls were totally fake, like a Spinal Tap situation that they were made up to the movie and luckily somebody schooled her and then it was like, no honey, sit down. We gotta learn, yeah, we gotta learn today. Let me tell you some history, Billie, okay? They were very much real. But she loves the Spice Girls. She's like, oh, they're so great. I thought they were good. No, they're so great. But you're right, it's not a common movie. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, it's not a common style. I think because it's hard, because I saw Hard Day's Night one time years and years and years ago. Yeah, I've seen it, yeah. And I can't remember, I'll look it up right now. I can't remember if it's well-liked. I mean, I know fans liked it and I'm sure it was financially successful, but much like this film, financially successful made apparently 100 million worldwide, but like critics. I mean, Roger Ebert was half a star. I have a bone to pick with Roger Ebert. Did you see what he said about my girls? Okay, I know he's dead, but wherever he is from the beyond in the Bed Bath and Beyond, the beyond section. Literally, he said, and I quote, the Spice Girls could be duplicated by any five women under the age of 30 standing in line at Dunkin' Donuts. Good sir, I have been to many Dunkin' Donuts in my life. Many, I have been the girl under 30 standing in line at Dunkin' Donuts. And I will tell you, nay-nay. No, that is not the case. That might be the line in LA maybe? I don't know, but the line everywhere else, you don't want those girls to be in your Spice Girls. In like, Glassboro, New Jersey? Nah, honey. So, again, he can defend himself against my... Oh, wow. Okay, I'm wrong. I'm totally wrong, everyone. So, A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles film is actually really critically beloved. It has a 96 on Metacritic, so critics loved it and fans loved it as well. It has a 7.5 rating on IMDb, so, okay. I'll have to check it out. I wouldn't be streaming anywhere. I do love the Beatles. Yes, apparently, you'll be happy to know I see it's on HBO Max. Oh, millions. Oh, it is. Yes, I'm gonna watch it, okay. And it's only an hour and a half, same thing. And it's similar in that it's sort of a fictional time. It's over two typical days in the life of the Beatles. They struggle to keep themselves and their mischievous grandfather in check while preparing for a live TV performance. So, honestly, Spice World is almost sort of like a remake in a way. Yeah, which, that's why it was campaigned a lot. Oh, look at Nick and Goat! That's more like it! This January, rock your world. Help! And spice up your life with the Spice Girls. Spice World. Yeah, but can they act? Blah, blah, blah, girl power, feminism, do you know what I mean? It's hard to not have a good time. It's hard to not like smile at all during this movie. And then also I love the flashback to when they're at the cafe and they're young and scrappy, but still like little kernels of themselves, right? But they made themselves look a little different and they start singing wannabe and it's like their demo version that was a little different. And I just always like thought that was a cute little sort of like fantasy backstory. Some of the girls actually regretted doing that back, that background scene where they were like, oh, we were friends and homeless friends because they felt it like misled fans about how they actually formed. So some of them were like, ah, you know, cause they didn't feel like they were being honest and I'm like, well, it's a movie. Like, you know, like I knew that they were put together by, you know, but some of that they were kind of like, oh, we felt we were being just, you know, misleading fans and the thinking that we were like best friends, you know, before forming the Spice Girls. But I love that scene too. I think it's a really fun, cute scene. Yeah. Thanks so much for watching. Next time there's gonna be a new movie that we'll talk about. So stay tuned and please follow Release Date Rewind on Instagram for updates. Bye.
