FIRST-TIME WATCHING *Bring It On* and it’s PROBLEMATIC? (Reaction Commentary)

[@PinkPopcast]

I friggin LOVED that ending

[@nishefly]

Fun Fact! The chant “Brrr its cold in here” does not originate from bring it on. It was a common cheer amongst predominantly black schools in the 80’s. The first film it was introduced in was Spike Lee’s School Daze 1988 and it was at the time a traditional chant in real life of the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha (historically black fraternity) they are known as the Ice cold brothers and they would do this chant and spike lee gave them a platform in their movie!

[@PinkPopcast]

Oh that’s awesome! At least they still had a black school “invent” it in this film!

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

The original cheer was simpler than what’s in the movie. It was basically: It’s hot in here (clap, clap) It’s hot in here (clap, clap) There must be a (mascot name) in the atmosphere. I went to high school in southern VA and so many cheers were taught by Winston Salem State cheerleaders at their camps that I always assumed it originated there. But it could have come from anywhere and gotten recycled through the HBCU cheer squads down to high school squads during camps.

[@cheryljones6654]

True fact!

[@AM-dd6dx]

I feel like this audition scene also inspired the auditions in High School Musical, down to someone randomly dancing ballet.

[@PinkPopcast]

Like don’t these high schoolers know how to read audition pamphlets? They’re looking for CHEERleaders lol

I love that they didn’t try to force a fake friendship between Torrence and Isis. They easily could’ve made the Clovers seem like assholes for not wanting to be “friends” - but once Torrence heard Isis, and accepted that she couldn’t deflect blame or pay her way out of their guilt, they actually showed that they were sorry by changing (competing honestly).

[@PinkPopcast]

God what a great dynamic

[@paige8453]

Well if we are going to be real here the clovers were pretty racist. I don't know if I would even want Torrence to be friends with them. They are allowed to be mad at the red head but they were taking out their anger on Torrence and being pretty racist.

[@PinkPopcast]

@@paige8453 I’m not deleting THIS comment but we’re not going to engage in the reverse racism debate. If you want to educate yourself or others, feel free to do so in an environment suited for that. This is a KZbin comment section for a 2000s comedy. The Pink Popcast does not agree that the Clovers are “racist” - only protective of themselves against YEARS of systemic abuse and appropriation at the hands of the Torros, the Cheerleading division and ESPN. Thank you!

[@paige8453]

@@PinkPopcast I'm not fighting for reverse racism because there is no such thing. Please read the actual definition in the dictionary instead of relying on social media. Their anger was justified but not the racism. I thought yall were smart enough to not justify racism but I guess not. That's really disappointing.

[@PinkPopcast]

@@paige8453 They respected each other in the end. The Torros learned to not appropriate and steal black culture and benefit from it while silencing black voices - and the Clovers learned to appreciate the allyship of the Torros and respect them for their talent and for learning from their mistakes. You’re so busy judging fake characters for doing exactly what a story should do (have them experience character arcs) that you’re not able to see what the film was able to accomplish: bringing us closer together. That’s disappointing.

[@isabellabovanvolkenburg]

When I was a kid I would nonstop watch the Beethoven movies and my dad was sick and tired of that dog. He forced me to watch Bring It On so he could watch cute cheerleaders. Soon he realized that was a mistake because I started watching this movie nonstop. One of my dads favorite stories is that we were alone in the bedroom together watching Bring It On and the entire time I was doing the cheers with the movie. When my mom came to check on us my dad told me to show my mom how I had been mimicking the tv. I turned, looked at the tv, looked back at my mom, and flipped her off, because it was at the scene where Missy flips Cliff off.

[@LittleLibraryKoala98]

😂😂😂 your dad should have been more careful with what he wanted you to mimick

[@pgiffon]

Wait why is Rizzo’s analogy about how if this movie grew up it would be a good person so spot on?? Such a unique and great way to verbalize that. Also I understand people don’t like Bring it on again aka the second film but I feel it’s so underrated and *whispers* probably the second best in the franchise. The cheerleading itself is bad yes, but the comedy is there! It’s way less cringey than any of the others😭

[@PinkPopcast]

Aww thank you! Honestly, I’m open to watching ALL the Bring It Ons - including “Again” - even if Benji is biased 😅

[@stevenfriedman2902]

I haven't watched this movie in years but use to watch it a lot when it first came out when I was 8. Now watching their reaction to it it is honestly crazy the things that some of them said in the movie. A lot of things I didn't even understand back then. It's definitely a movie of it's time and one that a lot of the dialogue has stuck with me like the ones Benji was quoting. I think I only watched the second one once when it first came out but honestly can't remember much about it. If I recall it didn't seem to have as many iconic moments like this one did but I wouldn't mind seeing their commentary on it.

[@ginahouston9352]

Benji... cultural approp WAS a thing, we just didn't have a word for it... Black folks LOVE this movie b/c it's an example of having something stolen, but then coming out on top... due to hard work, perseverance, and imaginative thinking

[@PinkPopcast]

It’s SO good and ahead of its time and I really love how equally the Clovers are treated - neither pitied nor thrown aside! They are imperfect but justified! Love it!

[@PinkPopcast]

Sorry, I was being kind of satirical saying it didn’t exist… I just meant for White pop-culture it “didnt” exist because it wasn’t much of a conversation yet

[@rebecky5ever]

always pissed me off how Tor talked to the Clovers at the start, I know it came from a place of kindness but it just sounded tone deaf."You guys are really good🥺" of course they know that, the trophies they've seen you win on national tv prove they're great. And then she still used the choreography and moves even after she knew about the stolen moves. If she wanted to do good on them she should have actually talked to the judges or the person in charge and confessed what happened

Benji sold that idea of what Rizzo thought the ending would be so well that I actually wondered if he forgot the ending.

[@PinkPopcast]

Hahaha he’s a little stinker 😜

[@cristenkray5192]

It’s so interesting to watch this after reading Gabrielle Union’s book. She regrets that she pushed for Isis and the Clovers to “take the high road” and feed into respectability politics in order to appease the main character’s white guilt. The problem is that the original script swung the pendulum too far in the other direction, where they made the Clovers and Black characters into stereotypes and caricatures of blackness. Gabrielle wanted to switch it up and give a better take, so that’s why we have the final product. It was Gabrielle Union who made this into the better representation of cultural appropriation and the white commodification of Black culture.

[@PinkPopcast]

That is phenomenal. You know, it’s funny, I’m sure from her perspective the Clovers are WAAAAY too nice. Honestly, I’ve seen so many movies that force black/queer characters to take the high road and I have to say - I feel like the Clovers are the PERFECT balance! They never once back down to make the Torros feel better. I guess they could have actually whooped their ass and literally KICKED them out of their school but I feel the way they did it was perfect. Her character was allowed to be mean, justified, petty, protective, bitter, but open minded. Even the final line, where she didn’t downplay their team and simply agreed with Torrance that the Clovers indeed “Were Better!” PERFECTION!

[@PinkPopcast]

She never should have had to be responsible for all that representation. In a better world, Gabrielle Union could have simply been the LEAD actress. Alas, I’m glad we got as much of the Clovers as we did! 🙌🏽

[@besupaaa]

Sorry for the double comment but it just came to me that when I was a teen I remember all my girl friends had a HUGE crush on Cliff and I didnt have the courage to say I liked Missy ahaha I was like "sureeee... Cliff is a.... Guuuuuy. Handsome... Person."

(She was there as a Buffy cast member.) She actually told me I reminded her of her “friend, Eliza. Eliza Dushku.” I think I said something sarcastic because that was quite a compliment, even if that wasn’t her intent. (I do know that my eyes are similar to Dushku’s, and Kramer did single that out.) In any event, she was really fucking cool - we chatted for several minutes. Definitely a highlight of that weekend!

Thank you both so much fod the reaction. I know a lot of people adore first time reactions but for me watching someone watch something they love (or loved in the past) is the best. I remember that even as a "sheltered" kid seeing this for the first time I was annoyed at the relationship with the brother being forced in. A couple years later I watched and felt justified in that and understood why so many people thought their was better chemistry between the two girls. Im curious now just how much f/f fanfiction thus inspired. Anyway, again thank you for the reaction. Todays kind of sucked and this brought me smiles. P.s. Did I somehow miss the moment where they are stretching and the football guys walk buy and say something like "maybe we should join" or is it just not there. My concentrations crap today so Im not sure if I just missed it. I tried scanning through the video but cant really remember where in the movie it happens. It's one of those "yep, this is a 90s film" moments I thought would make the cut.

Oh it definitely happens. We have a hard time cutting down these two hour movies to forty minutes - sometimes, There are casualties 😭

[@neivilde.1242]

whenever i hear the "people cheering cheerleaders" or the "be aggressive, b-e aggressive" lines, i can't help but think of the movie fired up, the satire movie about cheer, cuz in universe, they treat this as their bible lmao

[@a.y.greyson9264]

Fired up will forever be hilarious. Thanks for the memory unlock!

[@betweencurls]

not me singing along with benji and the squad; this movie (franchise) was my entire childhood!! rizzo was onto something at the end fr! i love your insights.

[@PinkPopcast]

As a screenwriter I could feel the appropriate ending calling to me lolol

[@tyramoore1668]

Obsessed with this reaction!! My second favorite from y’all next to Bridgerton 😮‍💨🤩 pls watch the rest of them!!

[@PinkPopcast]

Omg really??? Thank you!!!

[@the_nikster1]

this is the only Bring It On that I recognize. I had it on DVD and watched it on repeat throughout my college years. I'm so glad Rizzo enjoyed it; I knew he'd love the ending once I realized how much he was rooting for the Clovers. this movie also helped me realize I was bi because I had a major crush on Eliza Dushku AND Jesse Bradford in this movie lmao 😂

[@PinkPopcast]

I would NOT have been happy if they lost! I was rooting for them so hard!

[@the_nikster1]

@@PinkPopcast growing up is realizing that the Clovers were the true protagonists of this movie. 💅🏾

[@Reverse_Cat_Cowgirl]

Jessie really was that guy in theses movies. I feel like it's 30% eyebrows and 70% pretty boy smirk lol.

[@PinkPopcast]

90% Aww Shucks!

[@brenda5073]

I rewatched this movie A LOT last month and didn’t realize how iconic it is, but also how crazy movies used to be.

[@PinkPopcast]

They were definitely UNHINGED!

[@stephaniefrost4910]

36:30 omg I LOVED the 4th one growing up! The 5th one with Christina Milian was pretty fun too

[@PinkPopcast]

Excited to eventually see them!… eventually…

[@FuzzyBSMcgee]

Genuinely one of the best movies of the 2000s

[@PinkPopcast]

Genuinely a classic!

[@scatteredstraw]

Benji singing along NEVER gets old! I live for it tbh

[@PinkPopcast]

He will never stop hahahaha

[@barrymoreblue]

21:42 You could possibly see her as kind of a minor villain in 10 Things I Hate About You. She was kind of a shitty friend to Bianca, lol.

[@PinkPopcast]

Oooooo yeaaaaaaah

[@Unusual_Farmer]

I just got some sad news, and I was feeling really down, and then I pulled up youtube and saw you guys had posted a new video, and you had me laughing in the first 5 seconds. So thank you ❤

[@PinkPopcast]

I’m so sorry 🥺 I hope your day gets better!!!

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

Well Eliza was on Buffy first before this movie, and also Clare Kramer would go on to play Glory in season 5 of Buffy :) . I’m kinda mad Eliza quit acting caused I enjoyed her in her other projects

[@PinkPopcast]

She sure did! And yea I’d love more Eliza

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

@@PinkPopcast yea I really hope she comes back to acting. I’m happy that SMG is going to be in the new Dexter reboot

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

Oh and I forgot to mention that bring it on was the first dvd I ever bought back in 2000 lol

[@MollyKillers]

The way Benji pulled Rizzo along was beautiful. I’ve never seen the film so it got me too and it was great haha!

[@PinkPopcast]

He was REALLY good! I’m so happy he didn’t let me spoil the film for myself
