Freaky Friday: The Musical

 

This is a cringey, unpleasant view.  This is a remake of a remake.  If you don't know the original story, a teenage girl and mother do not get along and have to body swap to learn life lessons.  The teenager is atrocious to her mom.  Her mom is getting married the next day and yet she doesn't understand why her mom might be stressed.  She's also awful to her younger brother, which doesn't make sense because she is actually 6 years older than he is, and yet she calls him a nerd and almost causes him to run away to Las Vegas. Oh right, I forgot to mention that this is a musical for some reason. The songs are kind of forgettable, the choreography is interesting. The cringy part comes not from the musical but from the fact that the main character's soul is inhabiting the body of her mother and her mother is going to get married very soon, so you would expect some kind of affection between the two people who are going to be married. Luckily that doesn't happen, but there are a lot of weird moments where the mother seems to be falling in love with her daughter's love interest. Or when the daughter doesn't even make any sort of effort to save her mom's business. It's quite strange. All in all, it's not a movie that you really need to watch. And if you're looking for a movie that is bad to give you some kind of entertainment, it's not even that bad of a movie. It's a nothing Burger of a movie.

Scout's Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America

 This is not a particularly well done documentary, but I think it is a very important story. It's the story of how the Boy Scouts of America hid abuse from parents and the authorities. It's also the story of how an immensely powerful organization is using bankruptcy proceedings to evade justice. It's also the story of how an organization can claim on the one hand that it doesn't have any problems with abuse and on the other blame any problems it does have on homosexuals. Because, the logic goes, if they can keep homosexuals out of the organization, they can keep abusers out. But that does not make any sense whatsoever. Just think about the logic of that argument for one second, and you'll see how flimsy it is. It's an important story, as I have said, but I think the history of it is much better detailed in a podcast serious called behind the bastards. So if you want it better understanding of this topic you would do better to listen to that podcast about the fou...
