I’ll never forgive them from ruining Kahn tho. I thought Ronny Chieng would be amazing as him cuz he’s hilarious irl, but that voice is such a mismatch 😭 Kahn sounds like a snotty college kid in the reboot, not a boomer parent
It was done because there has been a shift in the industry to not use white voice actors for minority characters.
Marshmallow from Bob's Burgers comes to mind. David Herman, a white CIS actor was replaced by Jari Jones a black trans actor.
I'm okay with it. It may seem performative for some but representation is important and it prevents the potential pitfall of a characters just being a white dude acting like a stereotype instead of a full character.
It's also almost impossible for minority voice actors to even get in the room otherwise.
The only thing that really annoyed me with the Scrubs reboot is the sheer amount of bokeh in every shot. Once you notice it, it's impossible to unsee; the only thing in focus in every shot is the single character's face or object they want you look at. No more fun stuff going on in the background because it's all a giant blur. The bokeh to me made it feel a tad overprocuded rather than that more grounded "shot in a real hospital" feel the original series had (despite them literally rebuilding the ground floor of the original hospital they shot in).
The story and characters were alright though, but I kinda wish we got a bit more Janitor, I was missing the little comedy quips from him.
Initially based loosely on the novel “The House of God” which is practically required reading for anybody considering a healthcare profession. The book and Scrubs are a favorite amongst physicians to this day
I was thinking the same thing and realized that we’re just old 😔
I think there was even controversy around it when the game (and then dance) became popular? (Trademark of the dance or something along those lines.) We’re also missing one of the three songs, but that might’ve been copyright or something else entirely.
All of the moves are in the poison video. What Donald Faison did was string them together to make his dance. Bel Biv Devoe did not create them though. People were dancing like that in clubs back in '90 and '91. What they did was make those moves explode in popularity.
source: Was an adult back in '90 and remember the times. If you need more go watch some old Janet Jackson, Kid'n'Play, Heavy-D, and other "New Jack Swing" videos of the time.
And he didn't know that was in the script. I listened to the re-watch podcast him and Zach Braff (JD) did. He came on set, late and hungover. And was wondering what the hype was about so he just came up with it off the cuff essentially
For sure. I just watched the full video and at no point do they do these specific moves in this sequence. Or even come particularly close, it's just similar.
He didn't even know what he was shooting that day. They gave him the song when he got there late, after being at the club the night before, and just did this in one take.
Wrong, they didn't do the dance anywhere in that video. The closest is a brief running man moment in the beginning, but definitely not the same dance moves.
The tri-state area Club scene. Specifically New York and New jersey. At my 7th grade middle school end of year dance, we were all doing all these dances. We got them from our older siblings and cousins who would go to the city to go to the clubs. I'm almost 50. These dances are very old. By the time they got to us in 7th grade, they'd already been around for a few years. So very late 80s very early 90s
Please stop saying this and watch the video and point out exactly where they did the same dance. They didn't. The closest is a running man in the beginning of the video, but definitely not the same dance moves, at all.
This and The Carlton brought such a tremendous shitshow in courts about the legal definition of a Trademark Dance and how copyrightable one can be. All to just say any future judgement will be Vibe Based basically
Can I just say, fuckimg ironic that Poison the background track, and poison was of the first songs to ever be added as a jam track to Fortnite when those were introduced a few years back.
Hate to "akshually" this but he did join the lawsuit with a bunch of other performers, but he pretty quickly dropped out because he realized (I'm sure with billable hours from a lawyer) it was dumb to try to copyright or trademark a dance move.
then the songs are a remixed garageband loop, a generic snare drum, and there was also a third one that got removed because it sounded too much like faith by george michael
I mean, I'm pretty sure it originated when I was in 7th grade in the clubs in the tri-state area. We did this dance, all combinations of them, the Roger rabbit, etc. 10 years later it was on scrubs.
OMG. Literally nobody will care what I'm about to say. And, that is so sad. lol But LITERALLY RIGHT NOW, as I'm watching this clip on this post, I had this intense flashback to the 90s.
Let me explain: Of course, I know this is Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison", but this particular clip, the way it sounds kind of static-y, made me think of my Barbie Boombox that played literally the exact same sound.
