Z-O-M-B-I-E-S is THE FUN KIND OF CRINGE! (Movie Commentary & Reaction) 

Also I think the zombies are just genetically mutated rather than being dead because they can procreate, respond to all signs of being alive generally, and they’re not really rotting

If the bracelets are government issued maybe they made them utterly fragile on purpose so if it goes wrong they have an excuse to eliminate them or something.

Eliza displays the most common sense out of these movies, yet nobody ever seems to take her seriously. We don't even know what she was planning to do to Bucky and his cronies before Addison and Zed stopped her. It could have been entirely innocent.

Ooooh. You're tackling the 'ZOMBIES' trilogy. This is going to be good.

Admittedly this was coming out right as Descendants was mid through its own trilogy and I ended up not really getting into this but watching it along with you was fun lol Also re: pep rallies - at my own high school in America we would definitely start the school year with a pep rally and then only really have them when the team was about to play some sort of major game but otherwise they weren't that common of an occurrence.

Fun fact: back when I was a competitive dancer, I would often compete against the guy who played Bucky in this series! His studio's group and mine were sometimes in the same category. This is such a stage musical type movie, I actually love it. Makes me nostalgic for those dance competition days. *sigh*

Is it just me, but Bucky's actor really nailing being power drunk, better-than-you, bully actually well? This indeed is enjoyable cringle. I just watched this when seeing you guys doing this reaction just to catch up.

Bucky's so extra he managed to bend the fabric of reality just so he could interject himself into Addison's inner songscape.

Sam I think the reason you like Bucky is because he has Ryan’s talent and charisma with the sharpay entitlement and snark

Idk if you’ll see this but if you’re looking for more DCOM with “different” music styles try “Let It Shine.” I’m pretty sure it’s one of the few (if not only) DCOM revolving around a Black main cast and storyline. It’s a musical and a majority of the songs were created/worked on by the Black artists staring in the film. It’s a staple for any Black kid growing up and I’d love to see what you both think from a music perspective.

ok as a Black American, I was so excited about this movie when it first came out because it depicted pretty accurate segregation and racial discrimination in the MOST Disney way possible. In American history, the gate between students, the "no zombies" sign (similar to all the "whites only" and "no blacks allowed" from back then), the giving zombies the crappiest "classroom" and never letting them leave, ALL REAL THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY! Disney just lessened the riots, yelling, and spitting and added pastels and cheer. As Disney as this is, it is a really good movie to have kids understand American history and the concepts of segregation and racial discrimination.

the falling on the back stunt is usually done by replacing hard floors with a type of foam mat that is still sturdy enough to walk on without completely bending/sinking but soft enough that the stunt double/actor won't hurt themselves when they bounce off of it, if you look closely at those scenes you can kinda see the floor dipping down a little when they dance on it

Your whole reaction to them trying to be a human-zombie couple has me wanting a reaction to Warm Bodies 🤣 they definitely had to have gotten some inspiration from that. You guys would love it, if you haven't seen it already lol

I actually thought you guys would have tackled the descendants franchise first considering it was also directed by Kenny Ortega who directed High school musical

I like that even though Bucky was hinting at outing Addison for her hair, he didnt. I'm glad they made it so she did it herself. And I like how the movie has a Bring It On vibe where cheerleading is their whole world? It made it fun for sure. Also the whole time I watched these movies, I wanted Watermelon Sour Patch Kids because of the damn color scheme of the school LOL

My niece made me sit down and watch this with her one day while I was babysitting, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I did genuinely enjoy it, in all its cheesy glory. I feel like Bucky is the best character just because the actor seems to be having a genuinely fun time with the role, and it's just fun to watch him perform! He's great.

I feel guilty for liking Bucky but he’s soo funny 😂

Oh well this was unexpected but honestly not unwanted

When I first watched this movie I think the most confusing part was the filming of the football games I mean how many high school football games take place in broad daylight it's like noon for every game I guess that way they don’t have to pay for lighting, also the gawd awful platinum wig Addison is wearing is so bad like why couldn't they make it look less fake 😂😂😂

Could not be more happy my little brother has forced me into watching these movies just so I can enjoy them with you guys!! Addison and Zed’s relationship definitely carries the series for me lol!

I love this trilogy. So happy you are starting it. P.S, so glad I took the day off so I could be here early!!

The part where the crowd boos Addison after she takes off the wig always makes my blood boil! That takes a lot of guts to do! That’s why when Zed sees a little bit of it and says it’s beautiful is my favourite part. Cause her parents are the ones who made her wear a wig pretty much since birth, so if you really think about it that was probably the first time anyone told her that. And it makes my heart melt every single time 💕

While I love zombies, the 2 movie that follows just don’t really make sense. Kinda wish we didn’t have the angry/negative black/zombie girl I’ve never realized the use of rap and it lowkey blew my mind. I agree a small win would’ve been better it probably would’ve made the sequels better. Instead of them adding a new race that Addison saves every movie. I wish it wasn’t white savior x3

Please put "Hairspray" on your list, I really think you would love it!

I’m so glad you’re getting into this franchise. It’s honestly my favorite of all the recent DCOMs. I’m also glad you acknowledged the serious topic undertones, I think they did well /in terms of DCOMs/. I hope you enjoy the other two movies in the future 😊 The first one is about racism/segregation/desegregation. The second one is about indigenous asking for resources back. And the third one is about refugees looking for a new home.

I wonder what the school's budget for Bucky posters is? I get the impression he enjoys bursting through his own likeness a lot... XD

i’m pretty sure these aren’t dead type of zombies bc they were affected by the haze and smoke from the meltdown which became a genetic mutation which is why their kids are also zombies

DESCENDANTS TRILOGY NEXT also directed by Kenny. Missed opportunity

“Ready to break all the rules. And they just burn down the school” Heathers: *starts sweating*

The acting is sooo disney. I just find Addison’s character weird, her perfection is ruined because of her white hair. 🤣 The dancing with the light stand had no background activity. Z put a strainer on the light but it did nothing special for the scene to feel special.

It's a trampoline painted as a floor. Also the sequels are better can't wait to see your reaction

the glorification of oppression needs to stop. also the message on discrimination and segregation is completely lost when the movie's two main characters (and majority of the cast) are white. our history in the black community within america does not need to be romanticized in romance comedy musical.

You guys just have such a nice vibe about you. I always love how you start your videos, it's like I've planned to meet my mates and arrived mid conversation and then been welcomed and we watch a movie and have a borderline therapy session 😂 Your videos are always funny and entertaining but also soothing and comforting 😊

Pep rally (speaking from a Texas high school) is for generally planned around football games or whatever the largest sport for season is (fall or spring) but all of the sports are represented and then Marching banc, cheer, color guard, choir, and student council would preform or do something. Also theatre would perform or talk if a show was coming up. Everyone got a time but it FOR football, unless it was a themed pep rally (senior, blacklight, red ribbon week, shattered dreams [fake car crash memorial], etc) or a general start of term one- does all of this make sense?

Steph! I think you said it perfectly. I moved to a really wealthy town when I was a teenager (my family wasn't). And I couldn't figure out why so many kids were so lost after high school having so much opportunity thrown at them. I realized later that a lot of people crumble under the high expectations of their parents. Still not the same as actual systemic disadvantages, but a fair observation for sure.

I love this trilogy and it’s probably my second favorite dcom after Lemonade Mouth, but when I first watched the movie I could only imagine what the government would do in real life 😂 this town would’ve been nuked so quickly if zombies were real, it reminds me of izombie where they have to try and convince the government not to kill them.

I was on set for the third movie and lost my mind having my friends who were on the first and second films trying to explain the plot to me 😂 so excited to see you get through the rest of them and the natural progression of zombies, to wolves, to aliens 🤣

Because a few days ago was the 30th anniversary of Death Becomes Her, could you both please react to it?! A truly great underrated campy comedy movie. Would be awesome to see you watch and react to it!

This trilogy is chaotic in the best way !

Is it just me who thinks her white hair looks so f cheap and poorly??

I love that you guys are watching this, I haven’t seen this but I’m so pumped!!

i think this was the last disney channel movie i watched because i was getting older and growing out of my disney phase. i remember my friend and i watched it together and we loved and hated this movie lol

The Evie Oddly wig reveal cut made me laugh so hard that was a great lip sync.

Cant wait for yall reaction to Zombies 2 and maybe 3👀✨

"ew! these fucking joker stans are invading our cafeteria" LMAO CACKLING SFJKSDKJF

"LET YOUR FREAK FLAGS FLY!!!" 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

Watch Decedents next

WOW that intro is JUST LIKE sky high

boutta get really "ahem well actually" up in here. *pushes up glasses* but how i saw it was that the "zombies" are still people who just got fucked up in the head a bit lol, the only reason why they're called zombies rlly is cuz of their looks and the fact that they crave brains. cuz i don't think the undead is known for being strong or anything like that. they're literally just mutants lol

react to descendants if u havent

6:18 Omg I say the sane time wen I saw the Zombies I was like Joker is that you

Even tho I'm a Disney channel kid, i have a hard time watching this movie. I cringe so hard... But love the commentary as always ❤️. You guys should watch "Let it shine" is one of my favorites

Holy shit idk why but the intro scared me lmao never hear my name going around besides miss Jenner lmao

I love love loved this!!!! I've been dying for you guys to do this series. I can not wait for your reaction to the other two movies in this franchise. Since you guys love HSM please do Descendants since it is also directed by Kenny Ortega. I'd also love to see you guys react to more of the new remakes/renditions of old Disney classics since they help me decide if I want to watch them or not. Also more musicals such as Hairspray, Grease and the Sound of Music etc. I love you guys and cannot wait for more.

Love the flimsy zombie science in this movie lol

I honestly just got into the trilogy after the 3rd one came out a couple weeks ago. I actually think these are better than descendants and just wish I found this when I was younger coz now I’m 21. And will have no nostalgia

The scene where the all jump on their back you guys were the first people I’ve seen to actually see the giant trampoline they were dancing on

Me still waiting for the reaction to the second and third one😶💀

I don’t know if you guys take request but can you please please react to the movie the lovely bones😭

Zombies what’s next? Werewolves? Lol

Please do zombies 2 and 3

One day I hope you guys watch warm bodies, it’s pretty weird but was also one of my favorites, it’s a lot like this movie in terms of zombie and human

Descendants please 🎉

Oh, I wish we could have a Sharpay-Bucky Get Together...

The girl who plays Addison (Meg Donnely) starred on American Housewife, which I recommend. Zed's actor (Milo Manheim) was a guest star for a few episodes and played a conniving asshole, and it was hard to get behind Zed for awhile haha

*talking about Zed* "I mean he's alright" Me: "Yeah I mean he's no Bucky" 😂 (Obviously I'm kidding, I adore Zed)

Hey have you guys seen dead poets society? I recommend it but if you have already thats fine haha. Keep up good content 💙

honestly unpopular opinion: the songs in the series are bops [especially from the second and third movie] but the storyline itself is just... sigh. i cnnt believe Kenny Ortega directed this.

One year later wondering if they’re gonna do the sequels 😂

Hey do My Big Fat Greek Wedding its hilarious and heartwarming.

44:40 I love it when people who think they're smarter than they really are realise they're not as smart as they think they are.

I get what this series was going for, but it never hit right for me. It's kind of racism lite. They got some things right, like the sports metaphor. You're only worth something if you're winning/bringing in money. But a lot of it was pretty shallow for me, they either needed to commit more, or go more campy with it. Addison as the white savior literally spans all 3 movies and she doesn't seem to have any character growth. Usually she's always 'perfect' and on the right side, teaching other people lessons and not really learning anything herself. Her father was a zombie police officer, you'd think she'd have more propaganda/prejudices to get over even if she didn't think she had any originally. She's just not flawed in any way. Bucky is amazing. He's my favorite because he's so self centered and probably the most realistic character.

Can’t wait for the rest of the franchise luv u guys 🫶🏽

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you guys gong to do 2&3?

Ha just wait till you get to the other 2 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG!!! This is one of those videos that we didn't know that we needed to. I'm so fcking exiting about this commentary. Don't watch it yet, but i already know it's gonna be so god damn good !!!

I mean why wouldnt the government make the bracelets extremely fragile so they could easily break and give ppl an excuse to keep the zombies outcasts?

Coach said help me help me😂😂😂

I haven’t watched a dcom since the first teen beach movie and this reaction is making me want to go back and catch up on all the ones I missed out on

PLEASE DO LET IT SHINE!!

Pink Eye is, in fact, contagious, I got it once in my lifetime *knock on wood, and I had to quarantine. If I remember correctly, it's contagious the first 2-3 days after you get it. I got it from a music festival I was at because something shot directly in my eye, it went beyond my glasses. I was unfortunate, and the symptoms for it started showing/ forming while I was at a seminar I went to for work. I had no idea what it was at first and sat as far back from others as I possibly could, so hopefully, no one else ended up getting it. I thought I had something in my eye, so I got eye drops afterward and went home. I ended up getting other illnesses as well from the same event and had to go to the doctor, who told me it was pink eye. I got pink eye, sinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and bronchitis, as well as a busted lip and a cracked shoulder. I had to be out of work for 2 months and unfortunately got my dad sick as well, I know he at least got bronchitis, but I'm not sure what else he had because he had to go to the hospital for throwing out his back. He had to do lawn work because I was so sick, and I couldn't be outside with the medicines I was taking; they literally made me upchuck if I went outside in the sun even though I tried standing in the shade, it didn't help. Don't try to move heavy items by yourself is the moral of that story, and that's the summary of it XD I ended up bursting blood vessels in my eyes as well, so they filled up with blood, and I wore a beanie to keep my hair out of my face and out of my eye medication which blurred my vision when I used it. I looked so beautiful during this time in my life XD I took pictures of my eyes when all of this happened and put them on my Instagram because I'm weird and find stuff like that cool to look at/ look back on XD On a more related note: This movie and Lemonaid Mouth are two of the newer Disney movies I actually really like; since I'm older, I don't really watch Disney anymore. but somehow I found these two and love them XD Also, the show Andi Mack they had I loved as well! I know you don't really do series on here but watching Andi Mack would be fantastic, even if you watched it on your own if you don't do it for the channel and just gave your overall thoughts about it. It was a groundbreaking show for Disney and made some milestones for Disney itself; I will not say what they were, though, because I don't like giving and/or receiving spoilers. So I wouldn't spoil anything for you either =^_^= But keep being awesome regardless

Another Disney trilogy would be descendents and could be good

I'm not sure if you're still reading comments on the older movies, but I would LOVE to watch you react to the other 2, they keep getting better! I love all your reactions ♥️

I feel like I’m the only person in the world who’s watched it but this movie reminds me a lot of the show star crossed. It deals with aliens instead of zombies but it’s so good. I know you guys only do movies but you should definitely watch it.

You have no idea how big a smile I got when I saw the video thank you. Someday is my Jam

Disney fell off after 2010

love the frequent bows to rupaul drag race lol 🖤✨

Would it be ok if you could react to Coraline please😁

Fun fact, if I’m remembering correctly: the floors for the zombie dance party scene in BAMM are slightly bouncy so that is actually just the actor bouncing off of them. It wasn’t choreographed like that, he just did it and they thought it looked cool so kept doing it.

I LOVE THIS TRILOGY! So glad you are reacting to these movies! My favourite reaction channel reacting to my favourite DCOM! I have a feeling you’ll love these! 🥰

These are more mutants than undead kind of zombies. The first one is definitely the best, the sequels lost points for turning Addison into a Ditto & going out of ideas for the zombies to do(hell, Eliza went Zooming in the entirety of the third movie). You keep mentioning how cute Zed's sister is, not for long, she's a tween now(it's a sad truth that child stars are valued by cuteness. There's no room for awkward tween/teen years).

None of the schools I went to in the US had pep rallies usually. If they did it was only like 1 near homecoming. I went to majority black inner city schools and the 1 time I went to a suburb school they couldnt do pep rally’s anymore because someone threw a egg and it hit at staff member. They also couldn’t do senior pranks either because someone put orajel in brownies and that caused a lot of problems at one point.

I really like your hair here sam! Very cute!

I watched this kind of as a joke with my roommate back when it was pretty new... We were screeching and laughing bc of the cringe half of the time, but we enjoyed the movie in all its campiness so much we rejoiced when we found out it was going to be a trilogy. I feel like as adults we enjoy it for different reasons than the target demographic, but still enjoy it nevertheless. I think a prime example is the character Bucky. As a kid, I'd probably dislike him for being kind of the "antagonist", same goes for Eliza for using her common sense and for being vary as she should be lol. As an adult I can see where Eliza is coming from, and Bucky? He is an icon, he is the moment, he is EVERYTHING. All that personality and for what???? I love Bucky, man. Anyways, my point is that this movie clearly doesn't take itself too seriously and yet does a decent (read: not perfect) job at portraying an important message in a way that kids get it but also makes it fun for adults as well. 10/10, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

i listen to the soundtrack to this trilogy a lot I really like it, I don't rewatch the movies much though but I really liked the third one, it was so fun for some reason

I know for my school in florida, our pep rallies would take place during school on a friday and then after school there would be the actual game. Pep rallies usually were for 2 going away games and 2 home games, with the last game being the one before homecoming! Mine were also divided by upperclass men and lowerclass men, so grades 9-10 and then 11-12. But that was just because my school was really big, i dont think thats a normal thing.

its like good cringe

Zombies 3 Too

The intros never fail to make me giggle
