Drake And Josh Go Hollywood: A Forgotten Gem

[@mellojoe9421]

The fact there’s no laugh track actually makes the movie surprisingly better.

[@AggressivelyAverage]

110% agree

[@bfbuilders]

It’s like its letting you laugh instead of telling you when you’re supposed to laugh

[@davemac9563]

I’ll never forget when it was announced Drake and Josh would be getting a movie. I was in love with the show already so as a pre teen this got me hyped to no end.

[@Real_Ivan_ooze]

I remember being around 10 years old. It was always a treat when this special was shown on nickelodeon

[@Fidion]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@CaliJose209]

Same but I remember being more hyped when the Christmas special one came on. Or at least I remember that one better than when this one dropped.

[@ryukami404]

It's 2024. Tony Hawk is still waiting to get his Viper back.

[@mutombosays780]

Such memorable scene

[@NihilisticSnake]

He's got 3 of them, so maybe not.

[@Penance2277]

This show has aged very well. The writing is great, and they didn't treat teens like idiots. Also, the humor proves that you don't need to rely on swearing and sex to make people laugh.

[@michaelhawk3155]

Yep. Just a good show

[@somethingstupid699]

Sex is very implied with how much drake is "kissing" random girls each episode, and considering the fallout and allegations of Drake Bell also makes me say it aged less well than it should have.

[@Serafin10CP]

Saw this on my reccomended tab and just HAD to watch this. Now you gotta do Merry Christmas Drake & Josh!

I literally remember watching this the night it first aired on Nickelodeon, it was a major event for me as a kid since Drake and Josh was my favorite Nick sitcom at the time.

[@FishesFlyTillTheWorldDies]

Knowing what we know about Hollywood, this should have been a horror thriller

Dude this was like the best thing in all of Nickelodeon. I remember loving this movie as a kid. Felt like a fever dream.

[@AggressivelyAverage]

Great way to describe being a kid. Felt like a fever dream 😂

[@Pomni740]

I always thought it was really stupid that josh couldn't think of any ideas for his greatest adventure essay, like literally the entire show is about josh going on crazy adventures.

[@darkstar12344]

Nah fr , the Star Wars spin off one is a perfect example lol

[@markborishnikoff5485]

I’m surprised about that too given how crazy the episodes are I’m surprised he couldn’t come up with anything.

[@ElViperr408]

​@@ElViperr408What was the Gary Grill incident?

[@ElViperr408]

@@MegaSpideyman they sold stolen Gary Coleman Grill’s which got the FBI involved. Probably one of my favorite episodes cause they get interrogated and spend the day in jail

[@baffledbrandon3132]

Man, haven't seen this in almost 20 years! Thanks for the nostalgia, mate! I think I relate to Josh most since his family acts exactly like mine! No joke, that is exactly how my family would react if I tried to tell them something exciting like being involved in a creative writing program.

[@Ottobuns]

Gonna need a breakdown of merry christmas drake & josh now

[@AggressivelyAverage]

Coming right up 🧑‍🍳

[@Eragonfrost]

I don’t remember the plot of that movie at all lol

[@pyroAdapt]

One thing I kinda hate about these movies is how their parents always happen to be going on a vacation. Especially in the Christmas movie. Who the hell goes on a trip to a desert island on Christmas instead of spending it with their 3 kids? Lol

[@MegaSpideyman]

Yeah, you have a good point.

[@MrScottyBCollects]

To be fair, in the Christmas movie, Drake and Josh are adults by then. So they can look after themselves. ​@@MegaSpideyman

[@MegaSpideyman]

@@MrScottyBCollects Yes, but it's nice to spend time with the family at Christmas, regardless of age.

Definitely Peck is much worse

[@mashedpotatos3750]

Bro cover the “Really big shrimp” that ones a classic

[@AggressivelyAverage]

I’m definitely going to cover this one. It’s like an unofficial sequel to “go Hollywood” in my eyes

[@maxordman4100]

Great movie! I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. I think I liked the Christmas special better but this movie is still awesome! Also I love how in this movie Megan actually helps Drake and Josh. It’s so cool to see Megan actually help out her brothers. She was almost always against them on the show but in both this movie and the Christmas special she was on their side and had their backs like a true family member. I strongly appreciate that! Great review and I would love to see you cover more classic Nickelodeon content!

[@jaytuga]

I had this special on dvd growing up. I watched it countlessly and loved it! Thanks for reminding me of this gem!

[@ShadowWizard224]

This film was way better than the Christmas one.

[@beebeevids6851]

Josh is unfortunately treated like Trina whenever he got ignored by his family. Kinda sad it’s a recurring theme..

[@JosephLicka]

It’s funny going back and watching all these shows and paying attention to all the Extras trying not to laugh in the background 😂

[@_Slaab_]

Same here

[@AggressivelyAverage]

Thanks 🔥 🔥

[@bullmonty764]

The fact that this special (and the Christmas special too) didn’t use a laugh track really shows the difference between it and something like, say, The Thundermans Return. For this special, they had the good sense to shoot it like an actual movie (or an episode of Zoey 101, depending on how you shake it), and the lack of laugh track reflects that very well. Whereas with the Thundermans Return, despite being advertised as a *movie,* they fucking put a laugh track in anyway; they just didn’t give a shit (and yet they cared enough to bring back Harvey Guillen even though he probably cost them the entire budget of the lack-of movie 🤔😂)

[@JediJared-bs1wt]

I remember naked brothers band advertising like every episode as a movie

[@bullmonty764]

@ Yeah that was crazy, especially since after a while it reached a point where they didn’t even use the episode’s *titles* in advertising, marketing them as just “a brand new NBB movie,” with nothing more specific than that. Just wild af

[@KillstormSH]

12:00 lol I just got a flashback to when they're putting Josh in the car and he flops his arms over the car. I watched this live when it came out!

[@dantheman1986]

Your reviews are HILARIOUS. Great work. :)

[@DH_Artist]

Grew up on this show, had the privilege of running into Drake at a gig in my city a few months ago and told him the MTV 16th bday episode with the signed Abbey Road album is what got me listening to the Beatles and we've been buds since. Despite how you feel, to me it's cool being friends with one of my childhood icons

[@Marchers46]

Woah, really, that’s awesome.

[@noahfym4439]

Definitely a classic. Also Really Big Shrimp

[@QuietRiot3991]

I think the parents should've found out about Megan's spending and call her out on it. It would've been a good play on Home Alone. Though ofc Megan being Megan, she would've instantly found a solution. Also, can't believe its been 18 years. I feel old now, if I didn't already.

[@michaelfragoso6572]

I guess the movie is canon to the show since Josh became Drake"s manager in the show from that point on

[@FelixRosas10]

Had this movie recorded on a DVD with commercials and everything. I watched it nonstop. Wish I still had that disc just for the commercials honestly 😂

[@towernight3]

[@skrtethan]

Awesome video man, I've been wanting to rewatch this!

[@Thebroshow13]

It’s a good movie though I personally prefer the Christmas movie over this simply because it really goes into the brothers issues as well as a lot of the background characters appear in that movie plus the new characters are pretty cool especially the cop 👮 .

[@Crazyreviewer123]

Oh man i remember this movie well. I sometimes forget it existed but i still remember that at times. Turns out i have it on DVD so i still watch this movie at times not often but when i feel like watching Drake and Josh. This is a classic

I love this movie! It's so awesome and action packed! Drake drives like a badass in it and the villains are CRAZY as shit! Also, Tony Hawk's guest role was a plus! No laugh track also makes it SUPER SPECIAL! Just silence and zaniness like a theatrical movie. Awesome!

[@thewillofabeast9079]

It kinda weird looking back at the show know that Drake Bell and Josh Peck weren’t on good terms. I know that this may seem little to most as not everyone gets along well with each other but growing up watching and loving this show - only to find out years later that they didn’t like each other, it’s a bitter pill to swallow.

[@xboxgamergirl6797]

they did like each other… they have so many photos and videos together outside of the shows they had. Drake even said they would sometimes spend all day together playing video games and hanging out.

[@thewillofabeast9079]

@ Didn’t that friendship dissolve when Drake was upset about not being invited to Josh’s Wedding or something?

[@xboxgamergirl6797]

@ I’m not 100% sure, but then after the wedding they made several KZbin videos together and took photos. Also were seen running to hug each other and conversating as well.

[@OGTwistedDobermanXCVI]

ty for the song recommendation 💀🙏 I love it 😂

I’m actually gassed that you listened to the song 😂 🔥

drake peeling out in a viper and not crashing is more surprising than him talking to children 😂

[@chellyberry4434]

I remember this one and the christmas special. However the budget on this movie after some years definitely shows alot more now lol. Back in the day I thought everything in the hotel room looked so cool and modern. It just goes to show what goes in and out of style ans the GO Being and Ipod reference like its so crazy honestly even back then it was cool seeing how they integrated modern technology into the world of nick.

[@DaneDoper]

Merry Christmas drake and josh is underrated

This is my favorite TV movie of the 3. Very fortunate to say I have a signed Go Hollywood DVD copy that Drake signed (that video hasn’t even been released on my page, so your the first to know 🤫), On top of that. I constantly get to talk to Drake. He follows me on Instagram. Even Nancy also follows me on Instagram.

Josh: Why don't you like boats? Audrey: Boats sink. Walter: It's not a boat, it's a ship. And ships don't sink. Audrey: Titanic. Walter: That was just a movie. Audrey: Based on a true story. Walter: For real? When Walter got surprised, I was shocked! I was like "OMG! Didn't Walter know about the Titanic disaster of the 15th of April 1912???" Shame on you, Walter! Everyone in the world knows it! That disaster shocked the whole planet! And I'm sure you're the only one who didn't.

W D&J knowledge

[@NateRuvin414]

I know this was silly to analyze but I thought of one way the police could’ve known/arrived/explained the situation so quickly, and known D&J were innocent… one of the members of the villains entourage was on the side of the police and had a wire, and this was the moment the police finally caught the bad guys. But the person on the side of the police could’ve informed them that D&J were not associated, and they could’ve known the whole story before the showed up.. I know I’m overthinking this it’s a short kids movie haha
