[@honoluluw]

congrats to that one person who kept asking them to do holes lmao

[@savag3ry]

Me lmao it was me

[@kaybug689]

Hi thank you 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@honoluluw]

hope u guys enjoy hahaha

[@kisibye3553]

Ha ha! We moved a PODCAST🎉

[@somshunsun]

Referring to Eartha Kitt and not naming her or knowing what an absolute GET she was for this movie hurts my heart 😂😅 a true ICON!! Makes me want yall to do Emperors New Groove because her work as Yzma is some of my favorite

[@mariachisolm6838]

It’s insane how they didn’t talk about how she was probably the hardest one to get in this movie

[@somshunsun]

@@mariachisolm6838 right?! An outrage

[@nailinthefashion]

I love that young me had no idea who she was but was OBSESSEDDDDDDDD

[@somshunsun]

@@nailinthefashion same!!!

[@whitneyporter7979]

Literally said this exact take as I listened in my car. Give Eartha Kitt her flowers 💐 LEGEND SHIT

[@DevKitty16]

The fact that Eartha Kitt is hands down the most famous person in this movie, and you didn’t even say her NAME?! Shame.

[@Chiggianya]

OH SHIT @GUILTY PLEASURES PLEASE DO AN ADDITIONAL VIDEO ADDRESSING EARTHA KITT

[@itsyagirljessssss]

Right?! I was waiting for that to be a whole section in fun facts because she had such an incredible life and career!

[@jazzieARTS]

I was about to say!! Like what?

[@PrettyJustJulieBella]

It’s the way I thought maybe I just missed it cause aint no way they could miss herrrrr of all people.

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

For the record, Stanely knew that there was treasure buried where Kissing Kate's lip stick was found because he grew up hearing stories about Kissing Kate Barlow, famous thief. She is a local legend. His grandfather is even telling the story of how she robbed his great grandfather, Stanely Yelnats the first, earlier in the movie when his family is sitting around the dinner table. That is why Stanely's name is on the treasure box. This movie has literally no plot holes.

[@holycrap127]

Just many regular holes

[@justsophia22]

“The protagonist is like me?! White is given, but like-“ 🤣🤣🤣

[@sirgnome]

When Kate says, “I’ve been wishing I were dead for a looong time”??? Wild.

[@familiarscarx]

The like random montage of Miss Katherine turning into Kissing Kate goes so hard with that song "done a lot things that I'm not so proud of.... I WILL SURVIVE " lmao this movie has everything

[@sisilynn3956]

holes will always hold a special place in my heart because madam zeroni ( eartha kitt ) is my cousin! then getting to hear my grandmas story’s about how they grew up together on the farm and what not. im just like damn that’s my cousin???? on the disney channel???

[@kellishere]

Hello??? DROP THE LORE

[@sausagebased]

Your cousin????? She was the coolest, most badass woman to ever live! The original Catwoman! A genuine chanteuse who was so fascinating and magnetic that the US govt got paranoid she was up to something. That's so wild, I'm jealous haha. I literally have a framed picture of Eartha Kitt with a black cat in my kitchen.

[@EmmaMendez]

No way!! That's insane!! She was so inspiring

[@solcarlosofficial]

Movie to film? I think they meant book to film 😂

[@SarahSchreck]

Literally was ABOUT to comment with this lol

[@heatherkalman9668]

Yeah, I was gonna comment this too. Lol

[@the_potato_herald]

what they mean is”film” as a verb. the best movie that has been filmed ever.

[@J_Lauds]

In fifth grade, we had a day of celebration where the fifth graders got to spend all day outside and have a BBQ for lunch. To top it all off, we got to watch Holes in the library. It truly was the cherry on top of an amazing day.

[@daisyfield7238]

33:27 Fun Fact, David Bowie did not have heterochromia. It only looked like he did, because one of his pupils was bigger than the other. This condition is called anisocoria.

[@morgannichols8019]

I was an English teacher (WAS) and I read the book to my students and then we watched the movie, and Zero spelling “d-i-g” after he hits him with the shovel and I wish I could bottle that reaction because it was so amazing to show it to them 😭

[@acherryproTV]

I love how much kelsey and jared are vibing together this episode lmao zach needs to get on their level

[@anabundanceofsarcasm]

My 4th grade teacher read Holes to my class. She read it every year, but it also happened to be the school year the movie would come out. Loved the book, loved the movie. Now I've been a teacher for 8 school years, and for 6 of those I've taught 4th grade. I read Holes every year as the first read-aloud I do during our 20 min snack time. Just for fun, not do do academic work on. Some of the kids kind of act like being read to is babyish at first. Then, they get into the story, and they're excited every day to hear what happens next. And let me tell you, watching their faces when a plot twist or a pivotal moment happens is just the best. Then we watch the movie for their Fun Friday period, the last 30 min of the school week, until we finish it. Quite a few of my past students told me reading and watching Holes are a core memory for them. Makes my heart so happy. I also hope it helps some of them see you can read just for fun, not just for school work.

[@seanieboi1234]

tHe DuCk MaY sWiM oN tHe LaKe, BuT mY dAdDy OwNs ThE lAkE!!!!

[@Lianki620]

Bowey getting on Zach’s lap was so cuuuute! 🥰 35:49

[@JerseyQuinn]

Ah, when Shia Labeouf wasn't an abuser & alcoholic... Memories

[@meganreely6136]

I’m personally thankful for you guys speaking out on behalf of Palestinians!!!

[@xxAlexixx88]

Jared on Perfect Person AND Guilty Pleasures!!!? Fuck yeah, love Jared

[@curbstopper5000]

Not knowing Eartha MFing Kitts name is wild to me. Also, it wasnt a 5x5 hole. It was as long and wide as the size of their shovel. Thats why Zero always chose the smallest shovel and was done the fastest. Thats why Zig Zag, the spazzy guys says "smaller shovel, smaller hole". Manget is our latin king

[@welchy50]

Tru Confessions with Shia is amazing. He plays an autistic teen and the story is from his twin sisters point of view. He’s so good in that one!

[@TheKujawal]

Pleaseee shout out Eartha Kitt. Remarkable actor, singer, and human!!!

[@mariachisolm6838]

It’s crazy how they didn’t mention Eartha Kitt yet

[@jessswift7695]

kelsey screaming "THERE'S NEVER GOLD IN THE CHESTS" goddamn i love her

[@rykeman916]

David Bowie does not have heterochromia actually, one of his pupils was just permanently dilated

[@stephaniepatterson3959]

Sorry, Zach. Bowie's name is a lie.

[@treasurerFinleyASC]

Even though Zach was talking about his Australian Shepherd, I had to re-listen as I thought he was saying that David Bowie was an Aussie.

[@MissGhostface]

Jared is so hot. I can't. The way he holds himself, his personality, the way he dresses. POPPA'S HOME INDEED!!! 🔥🫠😂

[@jerewilliams460]

Marion is absolutely an (old-fashioned) male name. It was my great-grandfather's name. It used to be that "Marion" (with an o) was the male name and "Marian" (with an a) was the female name. Movie star John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison.

[@MJtheNerd]

My fifth grade teacher read us holes and I loved it. And when I saw the commercial/trailer for it on Disney channel I literally screamed and ran around my room because I was so excited. Lol I was 12

[@rebeccacohen2089]

I was recently on a 2.2hr flight. Kid in the middle seat in the row in front of me was watching Holes in the in-flight entertainment app. And it occurred to me that this might have been the kids' first time watching the movie.

[@MySeasideRendezvous]

Unfollowing a creator because they want to help people in need is a new low. We don’t need that kind of vibe on here anyway

[@eyeseajujubee]

Holes is an iconic movie with incredible storytelling!! “Well that’s too damn bad!” and Sigourney Weaver serving 🔥 I can fix that 😭 I was thinking what grade the climb was too

[@iPancake3]

46:35 Small Steps is 257 pages, I think Kelsey was looking at the amount of sample-pages that are free-to-read online.

[@__iTimmayy]

Not Kelsey's and Jared's energies fusing into one in this episode 😂 Zach seems so much calmer next to this duo. What a great episode! Such a treasure of a book/movie.

[@AmethystKaianna]

I actually didn't see the plot twist coming with Eartha Kitt and Zero as a kid so my mind was blown!!!! I loooved this movie so much, a true classic, so many layers ... onions!

[@trentonbutler5684]

The Small steps book is 250 something pages the preview is 39 pages

[@aresxna]

Poppas here let’s gooooo

[@jwood2175]

Why do I need book club with Kelsey? I feel it would be the best of book-tok (romance genre or adjacent assumed) but with an actual comedian?! With someone to explain what they got wrong with the parts of the books that go into bd sm/dom/sub?! That's a Patreon perk I'd sign up for.

[@jessicaanderson6981]

I still remember the scholastic book trailer they sent to schools prior to Holes book release!

[@erynmartin9480]

I watched Holes tonight because of y’all… no regrets! Thank you for the Nostalgia ❤

[@awsome8118]

small steps was definitely a fully book idk where kelsey got 39 pages from haha

[@nadiaa2717]

Garrick would've known Eartha Kitt's name!🙄

[@laurengarrett2323]

So many things. This movie stayed on rotation in my household for at least a year. We read the book as a class if I remember correctly. The cast commentary on the dvd was so entertaining. Their cast chemistry was crazy. I had a massive crush on Khleo Thomas after this movie. So many good one liners. The song is burned in our millennial brands because Disney channel played it like every commercial break forever.

[@gracel9080]

One of my favorite movies of all time😭 so iconic in every single way

[@Candies1Creations]

That's too damn bad has been one of my favorite sayings since Holes came out. Holes is my nephew's favorite movie and even at 23 and 20, they will still watch it with me 😅😅😅😅

[@earth_2_erica333]

I’m so glad we’re finally talking about this movie. It really is, IMO, the only movie in Hollywood that captures the book perfectly. 30/10. No notes.

[@Rckitty]

Best kids Book and movie adaptation ever! So glad you did this one.

[@kaylaschweitzer7116]

Listen to the cast commentary on the DVD 😍

[@genevieved.2353]

the appeal worked, and I did indeed leave a review after listening for like years

[@deanarauh7482]

i absolutely loved this movie-the first i saw that intertwined stories together-yet i didn’t realize the “Zero” in Madam “Zeroni” until this video 🤯🤯

[@kaylamatters]

Best Movie to Film Ever 😂

[@pizzaopossum]

I has to reread it like 10 times 😂

[@pix3lle375]

I have a physical copy of Small Steps, it's 257 pages. :)

[@christophergarrett7082]

One of my favorite movies as a kid. The holes theme song is great

[@hannahcullen217]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN YES

[@savag3ry]

I feel like this episode is a personal accomplishment

[@ChillinwithmyGnomey]

Fun observation as a Disneyland cast member. After working oogie boogie bash last year, one of the top three most popular group costumes (as in an obscene amount of groups wore them) was holes just outfits. The hard core groups had the jugs too (I’m sure they would have done shovels too if it was allowed lol).

[@Emthe30something]

Oh wow. Holes renaissance?

[@KaraVan5545]

I teach 6th grade ELA and I read this every year with my students (and Hatchet) and watching them freak out at every twist and reveal in Holes brings me so much joy

[@ezridax8480]

Great reaction Y'all should do Back to the Future one of these days

[@somshunsun]

My schools did the same dang thing - I had holes as required reading maybe 2 or 3 different times in different grades and then read it on my own just because I loved it somewhere in between all of those reads - and I’m from Massachusetts - maybe an east coast thing? (Also yep Hatchet was also required reading but I never did because the cover was so hideous I couldn’t bring myself to do it)

[@ambriaashley3383]

Born in Chicago IL. Holes was not required reading but it was in our teachers classroom library so I picked it up & loved it. The cool thing is Camp Green Lake really was a Girl Scout camp and it’s in Illinois. I visited it as a Brownie 😂😅 Hatchet was also not required reading but my 4th or 5th grade teacher chose it as a read aloud book to us for class story time. It blew our little minds. Class favorite for sure 👏

[@vanessaramirez5764]

YES!!! Been waiting on this one!

[@abigailcooper5154]

The first time I watched this movie in 3rd grade was the first time I was afraid to sleep in my own bed because of the spotted lizards. I also ate onions so they wouldn't want to bite me

[@sasslexis0126]

Was so excited when I saw Dulé Hill in Psych and then have a whole scene reference Holes in the episode “65 Million Years Off” and then in “The Santa Barbarian Candidate” when he says “I can fix that.”

[@FlagCutie]

Ok, now I need a high res photo of Jared so I can look at his eyes!

[@jeremycook3981]

Yall might have lost a whole lot of followers for recent "turbulence" but you sure as heck gained one in this guy. 🎉

[@jordbanana]

Holes is a perfect movie I've watched it hundreds of times, I've been Stanley Yelnats for Halloween. Holes is everything to me.

[@RoxIsReading]

I am 28, and this book and movie are still my absolute favourites. It truly is perfection. I love Louis Sachar. ❤️ But also, Small Steps is not 39 pages, it's a whole book. More than 200 pages for sure.

[@iPancake3]

That bugged me! I remember reading that whole book, so when she said "39 pages" I thought 'that /can't/ be right'

[@RoxIsReading]

@iPancake3 I went to look it up, and it's 270 pages, probably depends on the edition, so we're right😂😂😂

[@chloecure-hendrickson7827]

26:36 as someone who digs holes frequently for work, I am so confident (maybe overconfident) that I could dig a 5x5 hole in a day

[@deserabailey8500]

I think you mean BOOK to film?? Lol but i agree 100%!

[@mossman15]

I never google more frequently than when I'm listening to this podcast. So many references. Ever actor/director/sequel name/etc. I have to google them all >.

[@keefabara]

Zach, I hope you can take that year off to travel the world one day. You earned it!

[@nikkikenny1165]

Hilariously enough i just thifted the book yesterday cos i wanna reread it!

[@adrianpink8144]

Small Steps is a full book and it’s good! Stanley Yelnat’s survival guide is fun too. (Source: my sister was obsessed with Holes growing up)

[@joanmilton9986]

I can't even with how much they're squeeing over Holes!!!! it's one of my favourite movies ever. I was 37 when I saw the movie in 2007, and I don't remember the big deal about the book. It's one of few movies I've watched where I got to the end of and immediately watched it again. When Hector runs away after hitting Pendansky, and the Warden says to destroy all of Hector's paper work because "he was never here," to me, the justified nearly any punishment she was going to get. The thing with the judge is he is in cahoots with the Warden, Mr. Sir, and Pendansky. If some kid who is Black, or poor, or homeless comes before his bench, he knows he can send them to Camp Greenlake and no one will miss them. The absolute best part of the whole movie is when Stanley puts the valise in the trunk and the Warden begs him, "Stanley, won't you just open it? Just let me see what's inside, please." And he closes the trunk and says, "Secuse me?" Boom! Khelo Thomas is a gamer who won a Mortal Kombat 11 tournament dressed as Powerline from A Goofy Movie. "I can fix that" means the exact same thing as "As you wish." Yes, Zach!!!

[@HilariousHooper44]

I have seen holes over a hundred times. It's one of my favorite movies but I was today years old when you said "zero" and "zeroni". I never made that connection. I never knew why he was named zero

[@desolationsamiga]

Okay, but now you HAVE to do Mighty Ducks.

[@Heather_Duke]

I was ridiculously attracted to Kissin' Kate Barlow as a kid. lmfao.

[@TapanParmar-yp1ij]

Bahubali 2: the conclusion please!!

[@jonessamendoza]

Yeyy, MORE JARED PLSSS! Also pls pls do No Hard Feelings too! ❤

[@kristen4485]

You guys gotta do Candyman for October!!

[@danielking1634]

Can yall do “The Fantastic Mr. Fox”?

[@clairemarie231]

I would LOVE a Wes Anderson themed month!

[@kaylamatters]

Also can we discuss how DARK the Holes sequel is…I believe it’s called Small Steps? Incredibly dark for a children’s book

[@npeliroja89]

That book & that movie are both amazing!! I also grew up in Florida & we read Holes once but I reread it alot.

[@ragasaur5878]

I ratify 4th grade, and would read Holes to the kids every year. It was the only book that kept everyone invested, and so good for teaching twist plots, forshadowing and about racism. Then we got to watch the movie together. So fun!

[@jpclark454]

i want everyone to know the part where they say "you got to go dig those holes" was the tall kid with the long blonde hair that zero choked

[@marissar]

Not sure why Google says 39 pages (might just be the preview available), but Small Steps is a full book.

[@brandygreen865]

In NYC Public Schools Holes was required in high school which was weird. I had read it the summer between 8th grade and high school. I didn't have to read it in high school because most of my English classes were Honors level.

[@kennedywilliams1666]

I’ve been waiting for this one

[@CaroleeGernhardt]

“This is just like, the episode of realizing things.”

[@kaylanc5793]

A must ultimate guilty pleasure movie: Aliens in the Attic

[@monetirvin4261]

Please do The Bodyguard. Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

[@whitneyporter7979]

YES TO THIS. was one of my mom's favorite movies.

[@kaybug689]

Thank you thank you thank you for finally doing HOLES!! 👏🏼🙌🏼🕳️

[@CJ_Youngblood95]

I’ve never clicked on an episode so quickly lol

[@mageSjoy]

I'm half way through, and no one has mentioned Eartha?

[@mageSjoy]

At least they mentioned the character, but she should have been listed in the beginning with the big name actors, for sure.

[@tabbee2980]

I love and respect that Try Guys did a Palestine Relief Special. It was great to show support if they also donated themselves. HS and College kids do not have much funds--if any for charity.

[@Ella1297]

I LOVE this podcast and have been here since the beginning and I love all the films you guys review and especially the amazing classic great vibe movies you’ve reviewed lately!!🤗🫶 I love the big conversations you guys have and I learn something new every video and I love that!! Subscribed forever🥰🫶💗✨

[@christomas7948]

Can we PLEASE get a full episode where Garrick chronicles the whole Drake/Kendrick situation?

[@yazanibrahim9472]

Can you do journey to the center of the earth pleaseeee😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@deserabailey8500]

Plot twist: Stanley & Zero actually DID hallucinate until the ending of the movie/book and died shortly after up on that mountain...

[@alanchen7421]

Side Note from Holes, interesting that they posted this on the day and are talking temp stay in Spain, while Barcelona is having the tourism protest. 😂

[@emilypolanowski9991]

i dressed as stanley last Halloween 😂

[@clairecoburn1820]

We talked with a fourth grader recently who wanted us to spoil the ending of the book for them and that made us sad.
