0:00.0	I hate it! But I love it!
0:25.8	I high-bye lie everybody! I high-bye lie one and all. Welcome to my hated but I love it. I am Jocelyn Getty.
0:31.3	I am Kat Angus and this is the podcast about all the pop culture. You love and hate simultaneously.
0:36.4	We are starting an entire month of kids' movies and we are stick- starting out with, oh boy,
0:43.3	the Chipmunk adventure. I like the idea of sticking with the Chipmunk adventure.
0:46.7	Sticking with it. For the next four weeks, certainly here about nothing but the Chipmunk adventure.
0:51.7	And we will have less and less to say all the time. No, we're just talking about it for this one week.

1:50.5	Was it made for TV movie? Because it has a lot in the version I watched on YouTube, by the way.
1:57.3	It seemed to have a lot of like commercial break parts in it. Like it would like fade out and then
2:02.4	fade into a new thing. Well, you're not wrong. I mean, the structure of it is a bit strange, but no,
2:06.8	it was always intended for theatrical release. What I think is causing that is that the original
2:12.9	director quit. So Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and his wife, Janice Carmen, stepped in. She stepped up to
